Just want some opinions... I am wearing open-toed red shoes for my wedding. What color nail polish should I wear on my toes? Also, I normally get French manicures, but someone told me that was tacky for a wedding. Is it really? My nails are naturally and pretty short, I would not getting any fakes or anything. What do you recommend? FYI, evening wedding, outdoor ceremony. TIA for your suggestions!
Re: Nail color
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
eta -- I had a French manicure as well. (Not acrylics; I hate those!) I didn't realize it was considered tacky. Oh well.
I also have very short, natural nails.
I didn't really help.
Wear whatever you want.
My toenails were navy blue, which was a wedding color. I'd say french tips are fine if your nails aren't dyed from other nail polishes. Mine aren't a pretty color if I don't let them go au naturale for awhile or file off a bit of the top layer. (No fungus, just a slightly yellow tinge.)
I can't wear french on my toes because my toes are really long. When I wear french tips on them, they look like fingers. It freaks me out.
I would do red on your toes. You can bring the shoes in and match them to the nail polish. That's what I did yesterday-- I brought a swatch of my bridesmaid dress to the nail salon and picked the red that matched it best. It's really pretty too, it's called "An Affair in Red Square" by OPI.
I had a French manicure too. In fact, I bought glue on French manicure nails because my natural nails suck. I guess that probably makes me even more tacky.
[QUOTE]Thanks everyone! I think French on my toes looks weird too! I will try both red and light pink on my toes and see which I like. And I think I'll stick with my normal French on my fingers. I'm quite pale, so having pale fingers kinda weirds me out. I usually do bright colors on my toes, <strong>but I thought red & red might be too much! You ladies rock. :D</strong>

I - for one - don't think it's too much. As someone with pale fingers, I love color.
I wore wine colored peep-toe shoes at my wedding; my wedding colors were wine, grey/silver, and light pink. I wore silver polish on my toenails and just painted my fingernails clear.

I would either go with red or a nude. I wore closed toed heels for the ceremony and tennis shoes for my reception so I didn't paint them. My fingers had an opaque irridescent nude on them.
[QUOTE]French tip is not tacky but if it were me I'd go with red toe nails.

I agree with this.
