I'm gong for a gel polish pedicure soon, what colour shall I get?

My normal is a bright coral for summer, but that feels too ordinary now for me. What colour do you have?

Red, Red, Red! Always Red! ??

I usually go for a coral shade or a bright pink, I think that always looks good, especially with a tan. I don’t like anything too dark on my toes.

I desperately need to go & get mine redone. The problem is I’ve got awful blisters where what I thought would be a lovely comfy new pair of leather sandals have rubbed confused. When I do go I’m considering having a light green for a change.

Old gold

I have a bright jade on every other toe and a glittery dark jade as the alternative looks really summery ?

My dd has a gorgeous deep teal on her toenails right now. It’s stand-out pretty!

It is really really really important that you sit and look at the colours and decide for yourself which on it is that YOU like. Never mind anyone else. Which colour is a feel-good colour to YOU. This applies to every other decision you make too. Do YOU. Be IN yourself. Choose for yourself. Enjoy!

My toenails are bright fuschia pink.

My fingernails are mid grey and I tried matching my toes once. Dreadful. I looked as though I belonged on the mortuary slab in Silent Witness.

It depends what colours you prefer to wear.
I very rarely have a pedicure.
I love turquoise in the summer and have been known to go green - my favourite colour for dresses !
Otherwise it's a rich ruby red.
For my short fingernails it's always a soft shade .

That’s very nice, Canadiangran. It’s not a cyanosis blue, grin it’s very pretty and cheerful.

Fun answers! I have to admit I'm not keen on other people touching my feet, but I like the results. And Gel polish is brilliant because it stays shiny forever.

Mine are coral at the moment, generally stick to bright pinks or corals for summer

I do my own manicure but I went for a pale blue, a Rimmel 60 second one, and I've had so many compliments. It is quite bright though and my best friend screeched when she saw it! My husband who likes bright colours said it is quite bright ? but I love it,I usually wear corals or a bright pink and it definitely makes a change!
Have worn a cobalt blue before a few years ago in the spring but this colour is really summery and upbeat.

I like a darkish shiny green. Goes with most things, surprisingly. Alternatively, a pale nude pink looks good with tanned feet.

Thanks for starting the thread CanadianGran now booked in for Thursday.

My feet are my best feature, toe nails are currently turquoise glitter but looking a mess so it needs to come off. I may go for purple next.

CanadianGran Tue 05-Jul-22 16:53:25

I ended up closing a sparkly pale denim blue. It’s quite pretty! Excuse the grubby sandals.

SueDonim Tue 05-Jul-22 16:44:18

I’ve currently got yellow polish on my finger nails, a summery colour. They look as if they’ve gone septic and my dd told me that they look as if I’ve dipped them in amoxycillin syrup. ???

I love a shimmering gold / bronze colour looks great with a tan.

Riverwalk Tue 05-Jul-22 15:56:41

I've had turquoise - it looks really nice. Earlier this year I had a glittery silvery colour which was fun but did make my feet look like those of a cadaver!

Currently have glittery fuchsia but am going for a pedicure later this week so who knows what's next smile

Ladyleftfieldlover Tue 05-Jul-22 15:55:36

I rather like green or dark blue.

JackyB Tue 05-Jul-22 15:47:06

Mine are turquoise at the moment. But I have just lost the nail on one big toe as I stubbed the toe a few weeks ago. I can't wait for the pedicure so it can get sorted. I will probably go for a cherry red next time, that goes with most of my clothes.

HowVeryDareYou Tue 05-Jul-22 14:15:13

I've got lilac

Turquoise against a tan looks good

I agree with Casdon about the mauve
