What color should I paint my nails

I'm going to do my nails tonight and I can't decide on a color

Re: What color should I paint my nails

  • I'd do the lighter pink, personally.
  • I love both colors but I'd do the lighter pink because I want it to feel like spring already.

  • I was leaning towards the pink because I did a dark color last time. When I asked FI which he said I should pick a color to match my hair. That is when I decided to ask you ladies.
  • What about doing something funky like pink with purple tips/polkadots/stripe? I don't wear a lot of dark polish anymore because I hate how my nails get stained, but love doing designs with darker colors.

    I wish I could do something like that. Every time I try to do a funky design on my nails it always turns into a hot mess.
  • I would do the dark but I'm biased, my nails have been a similar color to that for about 2 years. What color is that one?

  • @afox007 it is OPI vampsterdam. They have another color that is similar that I absolutely love called Lincoln park after dark. It is a bit darker but it is still great.
  • Lincoln park after dark is the one I always have on! My nail place ran out and didn't get more so I got the vamsterdam twice before I finally went out and stock piled 10 bottles of Lincoln park. I stand by my vote :)

    Really? Lincoln park after dark is the color I did last time. Lol
  • I'm a big fan of the 4th nail painted a different color. So do both! I'd do the lighter pink for most and then paint the 4th nail the dark purple.

    Nail stamping kits are your friend here! Essence has a really nice (and cheap) set, and they release new stamp plates periodically. I think I spent about R100 (roughly $10) when I first started getting into it, and that got me the kit (stamp, stamp plate, and scraper), 3 bottles of "stampy polish" (just a bit thicker than normal polish, but you can use any polish really), and an extra stamp plate. Of course, you can also buy "professional" nail stamping kits, but those run into the thousands here...

    Also LA Girl has some really nice polka dot and ombré sets, and LA Colors has quite nice nail art polishes (in thin bottles with thin brushes) and pens (like sharpies). I love OPI, but that stuff is EXPENSIVE! I stick to Essence, LA Girl, and LA Colors because that's what I can afford...

    I went through a whole crazy mani phase, where I did scotch tape manicures, water-marbling, stamping, polka dots, free hand designs, the works.

  • @urbaneca thank you! I'll have to look into getting one of those kits. I ended up going with the lighter pink for spring. I finally figured out what my FI meant when he said my nails should match my hair. I thought he was telling me to paint my nails black but he meant the purple streaks. Duh.
  • LOL You're welcome! If I was closer, I would totes do some fun manis for you! :)
