Thread: Spring nail polish colors

Getting a pedi this weekend for a show and a photo shoot. I am trying to decide. Azhia mentioned dove grey or orange, but it is not my taste (neither is nude). Here is what I managed to find:


(I really like Pink Cadillac and Purple Rain)

I like the lilac, I just can't imagine it looking good on my feet!

God, I wish I still worked above that Chinese Beauty Supply store. I would probably be skipping work now to check out the polish!

I love bright colors on my toes! I have one from last spring that is very close to that Zimbio color, its really pretty.

I've been in the mood for CRAZY bright neon pink lately, for some reason. So I'd lean toward the pink cadillac myself.

Of course it's up to you!

My summer colours are usually nudes, mauves and pale pinks. Winter, deep wines. Sometimes it depends on the length of my nails. Most of those are great!

{{{HUGS}}}

Yeah, I'm not really asking for advice, just tossing ideas around...seeing what others are into...

I'm personally sticking with "Mad Men" colors this spring for nails and lips: coral or bright pink. Red is also included but I don't wear red.

Bright, grassy green is also in.

I love the new navy frosted... so fun!

OPI South Beach collection has some nice colors too! I like Collins Avenue, looks coral.

I like doing the french manicure on my toe nails, with a painted flower on the big toes. Not sure if it is in style anymore, but I love it anyway!

I love shiny sheer nude nail colors, because the little chips and imperfections don't show up.. heh heh...

I'll wear bright clear red year round -- my favorite has just a hint of gold sheen to it.

But this spring, I'm going for brilliant fuschia!

Love that show! Can't wait for the new season to start.

For make-up, my mom only wears lipstick on a daily basis - started in the late 50's, bright pink. She's totally back in style!

when i'm not wearing nudes....metallic silver, peridot green, opals, blues, glitters. rarely dark colors because of the wear factor. tinah

My nails aren't really fit for polish at present but I prefer nude pink, silver, deep red or wine. I have a pathological horror of green on the nails and though I've worn blue in the past, wouldn't now. I am going to try black, though, because I never ever have. (It's just coming into winter now btw, so I'm allowed.)

I don't like anything extremely bright. It's deep or pale for me and nothing in between!

I love nudes, light pinks and golds for photoshoots because it seems to extend the leg alllll the way through to the toe and make your legs appear just a tad bit longer. Same with fingers, if you have stubby fingers like me then dark colors just make them look that much smaller. I am glad that nude polish is really in this season. Good luck with your show and shoot, let us know how it goes!

My photographer warned me that she is going to take pictures of my feet, so I need to pick something that will look great on film.

OPI South Beach. I bought Miami Beet bright pinky red and am tempted (for the first time ever) by a bright sparkly coral in the range.

I love and will try just about anything on my toes (oddly, French only for my fingers though) but my all time favorite is OPI's ChaChing Cherry. I'll try to find a pic...

It looks more red in the pic but it is definitely a gorgeous pink.

i like bright colors too...reds, corals, hot pinks

I think its good to go with something that looks good on YOUR skin tone and not feel constrained to go with what is in style this season. There are some great colors suggested on here so you cant really go wrong! O.P.I. "I'm NOt Really A Waitress" is a good classic. I bet it would look pretty with your coloring.

Ooh, I do this too! I actually did it time before last, but with Cha Ching Cherry as the base. I went Saturday but am thinking of the next pedi already- navy blue with a bright pink flower on the big toe, maybe some neon-y drags off the flower.

I picked up a bottle of dove gray nail polish recently and am astonished by how nice it looks, like beautiful clay.

This is one of my all time faves: Orly Hot Stuff, Not So Dusty Rose ORLY Nail Polish

Samira, the O.P.I. "I'm NOt Really A Waitress" looks like a color I have from Mabeylline (Berry Charming). I'll probably end up picking out something at the salon....

I got 3 new colors at Sally yesterday. Savvy Red by Savvy, A Collector's Dream by Finger Paints (rosy color w/slight silver undertone), and Tangerine Tint by Finger Paints. I've never had orange polish before and I've been on an orange kick lately (orange costumes, orange polish, orange anything), so that's what I'm getting this weekend for my pedi; Tangerine toes ..g.:

I agree with Samira about the flashy and dark colours making your fingers look even smaller.

I dont really go for the colours that are in at the moment.
I go with what I like , my favourites are blues ( frosty royal blue or turquoise) and purple. I wear red mostly if I am wearing a red costume.


Lilac looks really pretty on your feet cause it is more descreet, sometimes looks silver, since I dont wear pink I usually go for the lilac instead, especially in the summer when it blends in better with my summer dresses.

those are all colours that go with my bd costumes.

..l;, ooo I guess Iwill be in this spring , since that magazine says that blue and lilac are in ..g.:

I have to ask : which brand makes the peridot green ?

it was a brand i found at a beauty supply store. it looks gold than green. i have every shade of green.

i tend to match my tattoos=:0

I went with Sally Hansen's Salon "Orange you cute." It really is! It's like a hot-pink and orange explosion! Love it.

I seen Sally Hansen has turquoise! I want it!

Yup. Just the other day (inspired by this thread) I busted the budget and went for a mani/pedi. (spring cleaning for my feet!)

The gal talked me into a hot corally pink, and it was bright and cute, but I just look better in cooler toned reds.

I picked up a bottle of Sinful Colors Cha Cha Red, which is really more like a deep magenta, and painted over it. So happy now!

I'm an OPI junkie. Every time they launch a new line I buy a couple. So I guess I am seasonal. But lately I keep veering towards "Melon of Troy" and then I reached into my bag of tricks and came up with this red by Ulta but it doesn't have a name.

Then again, since the age of nine, I've never needed an excuse to wear nail polish because I was hopelessly hooked very young!
