Agree with others who have said it doesn’t suit your skin tone, sorry. It’d look great on someone with darker skin.

RedSoloCup · 14/03/2025 21:12

It’s doesn’t suit your skin tone

Gustavo1 · 14/03/2025 21:14

I’m not a fan. If you like it then that’s great but I agree about the angel delight.

if you’ve had them done and you’d like a change, can you add some nail art to tone the background down?

Lilacdaisies123 · 14/03/2025 21:18

Urgh, I couldn’t decide between bright pink, lilac or this and I went for this. Silly woman. I’ll put up with them for a month I suppose.

Perhaps the camera and the odd background (is it chipboard or shag pile?) isn’t doing it justice but I’ve seen fungal toenails that colour.
As pp suggested it could look good on darker skin.

FeelTheRainOnYou · 14/03/2025 21:19

Really not a fan - so sorry. It looks like a lighter colour eg light pink or white somehow got stained. but they’re a lovely shape!

TaggieO · 14/03/2025 21:21

Really hate them, sorry - they look like smokers nails.

KeepYaHeadUp · 14/03/2025 21:27

Not my favourite, but l, like you say, it’s only for a few weeks and at least you’ve tried it! I always find they seem to suit me when I hold the swatch up to my nail and look very different when they’re on all my fingers.

Lilacdaisies123 · 14/03/2025 21:30

Is this any better

Not with your skin tone sorry

Candledrip · 14/03/2025 21:31

They’re awful. You look deceased - sorry but you asked!

Bologneselove · 14/03/2025 21:32

I agree, no contrast.

MadameCholetsDirtySecret · 14/03/2025 21:33

I don’t like the colour but your hand looks so much nicer than the claw photo earlier. You have very elegant fingers.

Sampler · 14/03/2025 21:33

Ewww I did the same OP - got them done on hols in a supposedly classy caramel shade - mine looked like the hands on a cadaver. I’ve pink toned skin too !

Differentstarts · 14/03/2025 21:34

No don't like them not a fan of bright pink either, lilac would be nice

JimStirlingsPenisTransplant · 14/03/2025 21:34

Not unless you are actually Dracula

AllTheWatersTurnedToClouds · 14/03/2025 21:34

Yeah I’d be painting over that OP sorry

its so disappointing when you don’t like them 😞

Isthiswhatmenthink · 14/03/2025 21:36

CoastalCalm · 14/03/2025 21:30

Not with your skin tone sorry

I agree. On a deep golden skin tone or darker it would look ok, on anything paler than itself it just looks nicotine stained. Sorry, OP.

Lilac or soft petals pink would look nice for spring.

Doyouthinktheyknow · 14/03/2025 21:36

Not for me but I have no taste!

I only do my toenails these days but it’s always the brighter the better!

SpudsIlike13 · 14/03/2025 21:36

Reminds me of fungal nail infection, just paint over the get, it will last really well.

melonalone · 14/03/2025 21:38

Eek! Defo wrong for your skin tone. Lesson learned!

NeverDropYourMooncup · 14/03/2025 21:39

Like others, I don't think it's a good colour for you (not convinced about lilac, either, as that can be very corpse-ish) - but I also think that your thumb and index finger nails look very thick, it's all extremely close to the nail folds, making allergies more likely and they've removed the skin, which makes infection more likely.

With such long, slim fingers, it could look great - but not with that tech.

Lighttodark · 14/03/2025 21:39

I don’t like the colour and don’t think it suits your skin tone 😬

thickandcreamy · 14/03/2025 21:39

@JimStirlingsPenisTransplant😂😂😂
I have to agree ! But @Lilacdaisies123if you like them that’s all that matters

lalaloopyhead · 14/03/2025 21:40

SparklyBrickViper · 14/03/2025 20:58

It’s not for me, reminds of butterscotch angel delight.

Exactly what I thought! 😁
