What colour are your accessories?

worldshottestmom · 11/09/2026 16:56

Need to see the outfit mate

What undertone/skin tone do you have? What kind of makeup are you wearing?

Any colour goes with black really. Red or nude would probably be a safe bet

What type of party is it? Indoors outdoors? Any theme? 21st/40th?

It’s transition to autumn time.. I would go for a mocha. Goes with everything..

If you are wearing black then the nail colour world is your oyster! I am a big fan of dark reds.

Yep love dark red…but is it a bit early?
I’ve been loving all the pastel colours over summer… and am wondering what’s on trend.. also love a gold nail, but is that a bit Christmassy?

Your dress is pretty!

Gold accessories and black is quite chic and neutral so as others have said nails can be any colour of your choosing. Maybe something that will go well with the rest of your wardrobe as the nails will be on longer than the duration of the party.

Red is classic but not my fav I prefer pinks and lilacs.

Enjoy the party!

What about a deeper than pastel pink with gold tips or gold nail art on one or two nails if you want to encompass gold into it, doing it with red would look too xmassy i think

user1478639495 · 11/09/2026 22:41

I’d say either sheer gold or a classic red

You think like a bright red or a dark berry red?
