what color pedi w/ Red Shoes?

[winterbride1220]

Maybe a dumb questions...


I have to wear red shoes for a wedding and I have no idea what color polish to wear?? It's a destination wedding in jamaica so I want it to be cute for the beach the rest of the weekend.

TIA

I've done this two ways. One is to match the shoes exactly, the other is to pick something that either blends or contrasts. If the dress is fun, a bright orange or yellow would be fun, too.

Bubble Bath is always safe.

I would do "Marshmallow" by Essie.

whatever you want. what color is your dress?

Does the bride have an opinion? If she cares - then her thoughts rule.

Otherwise just about anything you want. Only thing I'd avoid is an unmatching red (if it's an orangy-red don't do cool red).

This, exactly.

the dress is black. i will def ask the bride. I'm thinking I might lean toward a neutral like Bubble Bath. I really never like pale toe nails w/ my skin.

ask the bride first. if she says "whatever" then I suggest black toes and Bubble Bath or Marshmallow on your fingers--that's what I would do and I looooove nail polish. it's hard to match reds so I wouldn't even try that. you could also play up black/white/red by wearing white toes (OPI Alpine Snow is a good, shiny white creme but it can be streaky so it needs 3-4 coats). it will contrast with a tan.

sorry everyone but I don't like pale sheer shades on toes. the least amount of color I like on anyone's feet is a simple french.

You could also do Smokin' Hot or Chinchilly by Essie...
