Not for me. But if you like it and it matches clothes/handbag etc. Go for it

Smokers nails

Moveoverdarlin · 14/03/2025 23:42

Just reminds me of smokers fingernails. Not keen on neutral nail colours anyway and that just confirms why.

Lilacdaisies123 · 15/03/2025 04:33

note to self - don’t get this shade on its own again!

Defo paint over them

unlikelywitch · 15/03/2025 07:24

Oh OP your nails look like melted werther’s originals.

You need a new colour and a new nail tech!

I am quite angry with you really @Lilacdaisies123 because your nails have me craving a now discontinued Caramac 🤣

M & S do a 'Golden Blond' chocolate bar that tastes like Caramac but a but posher and its only £1.25 for 100g bar. I have eaten a lot of them!

Cyclingmummy1 · 15/03/2025 07:53

Sorry, it doesn't suit your colouring which is a shame as I quite like the colour. 😔

Looks like you’ve been smoking 40 a day since you came out the womb.

This ☝🏼

SparklyBrickViper · 14/03/2025 20:58

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

Exactly 🤢😆

NewDogOwner · 15/03/2025 09:05

Conjures up images of pus.

Duckies · 15/03/2025 09:15

Fungus nail infection, sorry

Christwosheds · 15/03/2025 09:24

OP you have really beautiful hands, and that colour doesn’t suit your colouring at all. It’s too yellow, and too drab for you. If you want a pale, pastel colour you would look better in blue based pinks. But your lovely hands would suit a stronger colour too.

Manchesterbythesea · 15/03/2025 09:44

Absolutely awful. Looks dirty.

Gravytanned · 15/03/2025 09:49

Just paint over them and then get them redone when they’re growing out. I don’t usually paint over my BIAB but sometimes do.

Ashshandmaid · 15/03/2025 10:00

I'd maybe put a chunky glitter over them to make it less noticeable. Sorry but I agree with the comment saying it looks like the colour nls go with a fungal nail infection.

BlumminFreezin · 15/03/2025 10:03

I actually think it's a lovely colour - for a wallpaper, or a coat, or a dress.

Nails though, I think it looks a bit odd.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 15/03/2025 10:03

Not for me. Looks like baby poo 🙈

dollyblueeyes01 · 15/03/2025 10:03

It’s ok but I think your skin tone is abit pink for that colour sorry 😔

Chuchoter · 15/03/2025 10:08

Looks like you've died.

MulberryPeony · 15/03/2025 11:33

Hope this thread has cheered you up a bit OP anyway!

note to self - don’t get this shade on its own again!

At least it's nothing drastic and it's a lesson learnt.

I love the orange up thread, but know it would look awful on me because I have cool toned skin too.

It'd be good if swatches were divided up for the different skin colours and undertones, but you can read quite a bit online and see if you agree with it

Not a nice colour especially with your pink tone skin. Sorry OP.

dudsville · 15/03/2025 17:29

Could you dress a bit punk/alternative until you get them redone?

Ihavethebestdogs · 15/03/2025 18:35

Sorry but I think it's hideous, and there are so many beautiful colours to choose from.
