I have them.

I am wearing gold nail polish with them ATM.

ThePhantomPlopper · 30/06/2009 20:10

Not sure that's matching though.

AnyFucker · 30/06/2009 20:13

with purple??

ooo, don't try to match it, you will never manage that

I would go for something completely clashing such as turquoise

Barry M do a fab neon turquoise that doesn't make your toes look like they are dropping off with the cold

Or tangerine orange ?

Black would look good too, if you don't fancy bright

ThePhantomPlopper · 30/06/2009 20:14

I was wearing a tropical orange one last week with them, looked fab.

Think it was a No7 one.

AnyFucker · 30/06/2009 20:21

yeah !

brokenspacebar · 30/06/2009 20:22

I wore nails inc berry red, looks good, purple goes with any colour surely?

brokenspacebar · 30/06/2009 20:25

purple

but I agree with anyfucker.

GingerIgnoramus · 30/06/2009 21:10

is your boots one with a big beauty bit? just go there you'll find something. otherwise go to a salon which does nails inc or essie and choose something nice.

GingerIgnoramus · 30/06/2009 21:20

cocolepew · 30/06/2009 21:22

I have the shoes - and a tiny, tiny bottle of perfectly matching varnish that my sister found in the States and which I have now lost. So I am watching this thread with interest. Currently, I am wearing mine with grey MAC nail varnish.
(I love the shoes, and was very happy to see them in TK Maxx, thus saving a few squids)

cocolepew · 30/06/2009 21:26

mention Birkies or nail polish and I appear.

ravenAK · 30/06/2009 21:26

If it were your nails I'd say base coat of black for lovely depth then cheap (Barry M?) shiny purple over the top.

For a gift I think you'd best go contrast - you won't get that intensity of goth purple in one bottle!

GingerIgnoramus · 01/07/2009 12:23

Right i got a revlon one called something plum

OP posts:
GingerIgnoramus · 01/07/2009 12:25
