What colour nails for a black party outfit?

Hi, please help oh wise ones as I am not very good at such things.

First Christmas party of the season next week. Wearing a black jumpsuit, it's got half length sleeves so it's a fair amount of black.

I'm pale skinned with blond hair. Mid-40s.

What colour gel nails please for an up to date look?

I've lost my way with all things stylish as I've become a recluse frumpy shadow of myself the last few years.

Gold

You can’t go wrong with red.

Anything bright to add a pop of colour. Personally I'd go hot pink or red but anything bright would work.

Maybe if you have bright shoes or bag you could match that?

Red silver or gold

Kwer · 24/11/2023 10:55

Anything bright would go with that outfit and look great

I’d be tempted by gold but it depends on your personal taste

herbyham · 24/11/2023 10:58

I'd go with a festive red and a matching lip!

Either a very deep red, pillar box red or full on gold or silver glitter depending on your skin tone and jewellery choices.

Maybe a glitter fade with gold or a bright pink? These are quite long and look like acrylics but this general idea - can easily be done with gel and it looks nice on short nails too.

Black of course!

I always have mine black though so I'm maybe the wrong elder emo person to ask 😁

I like these for Christmas. Mine are currently a dark purple shimmer

Very shiny fire-engine red.

I got gold glitter last year which worked really well with all different outfits (black party dresses, green, red, as well as nice cream jumpers in the daytime) and different makeup - meant I could wear fire engine red lipstick, dark red or my usual pinky nude without it looking too much.

It worked really well as a festive neutral - going for the same again this year.

Always red!

zurala · 24/11/2023 17:12

I would go with a bright colour, something unexpected like blue or yellow, or white.

Lovely! Do you know the brand/name? Do they hold up well?
