What are your favorite nail polish shades? Do you stick to a certain family of colors or perhaps a family or two? Do you wear any and every color? Or are you a no nail-color-wearer?
I’m up for any color these days, but I definitely have a preference that does not include bright yellows or neon colors.

i usually stick to pinks (all kinds),deep reds (my boyfriend hates the :-D )and clear polishes. i have one purple polish from Versace, very good quality,but horrible smell. it1s smell causes headaches…
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I love pink polish :) I adore golds and pinks the most. The smell of ALL polish drives my boyfriend nuts.

i totally agree with you on the blindingly bright neon colors… urgh. But i usually stick to light pinks or deep reds and i prefer a dark purple over black nails. Black is a difficult color to keep nice looking and i just HATE IT when people wear black polish its all chipped off… it just looks dirty :x
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I love light pinks :) I agree that black is one hard polish to keep up!

Lately I’ve been obsessed with OPI’s “Who Are You Wearing?”, a beautiful dark purple (almost black) with microscopic red shimmers. But normally I stick with Essie’s light pinks like “It’s Delicate”.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Oh, that sounds like a gorgeous color, Kate! OPI makes some fabulous shades!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I’m a big fan of french manicure as always i go for the light neutral colors but i do occasionally use dark colors.

What’s your favorite dark color, Lisa?
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I spent a good while using black and white (in an alternating pattern, it looked rather whimsical IMO ^_^). However lately I’m in the purple (favourite colour) or clear glitter gloss kind of a place.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
That’s cute, though! What purple have you been using a lot?
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I’ve been using Essie’s “Huckle Buckle” as a base with a top coat of Sally Hansen’s “Diamond”. I like the combination of the glitter with that particular shade of polish. Though I wear them separately as well ^_^
Friday, January 25, 2008
Ohh, I think that combo sounds GORGEOUS! I will look into Huckle Buckle!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I’m so addicted to dark shades, like Chanel Vamp Red. Or I’ll do French nails when I want to stay simple.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Oh, very bold and deep!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I usually stick to reds and brighter/darker pinks, but occasionally I’ll go for a French, something purplish, soft orange or even blue. I’m not scared of experimenting with my nails :)
Thursday, January 24, 2008
What’s your favorite Red, Radina?
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I don’t polish my nails very often but when I do, I wear a glossy white polish, burgundy, or a French Pink manicure.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
French Pink manicure sounds really girly and pretty!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Hi,
I dont wear daily but whenever i get chance i always wear red,kinda crazy for red’s..
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Reds! That’s one color that scares me a little bit :) It’s so bold!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Nail polish is a “must-have” item for me.
I prefer colors such as different shades of purple,silver and pink.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
:) Do you own a ton of them or just a few of your favorites?
Favorite silver? Pink?
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I like all colors. I usually wear reds or pinks though.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
What’s your favorite “crazy” color to wear?
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Im a huge fan of the delicious classic…. Chanel Rouge Noir!
I love it! xxx
Thursday, January 24, 2008
That is a definite classic!! Great choice, Hannah!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Red all the time. I like MAC’s Rocker and Rimmels Celebrity Bash, Revlon Get Reddy…pretty much any shade of red. I love it, definitly my favorite!
Friday, January 25, 2008
Wow, it took me sooo long to get used to red nails, and whenever I go a long period without wearing red, I have to get used to it all over again!
Do you like bright reds or deeper ones?
Friday, January 25, 2008
Any shade of red will do! Its all I wear on my toes as well!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
my all time fav is opi lincoln park after dark- typically i go for dark moody mysterious nail colors- i find the sheer pale colors insipid . almost too common. different is for me
Friday, January 25, 2008
That’s definitely a dark one :) I think it’s a cult fave, though!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I only wear OPI and am doing well with keeping my nails looking nice and changing the color when it starts to get worn…as per my new years goals. I would list a few of my fav colors but I’m staying with my parents for a few days (due to the heater being broken) so I don’t have access to the names of the colors as I post this. But I adore nudes, light pinks and very dark reds. I’m trying to expand my taste by branching into corals both for nails and face. Right now I’m wearing Strawberry Margaritta by OPI which is a very intense and bright darkish pink. On my toes I have Polar Bear by OPI which is a dark nude. I am among a minority when I say I can’t stand the look of french mani’s…so stepford wife…and white trash fake nail.
Friday, January 25, 2008
How many OPIs do you have now, Tanya? I hope your heater gets fixed soon!
I don’t love French manicures either (though I don’t dislike them), they’re just so-so to me!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
bamboo by sally’s …it’s like a pale pink.
Friday, January 25, 2008
Oh, sounds great, Lala!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
My favourite colour ever is OPI’s Cajun Shrimp. It’s an orange red. I have an extensive nail polish collection (all OPI, eek) and my other favourites are the Night Brights and the dark colours in the Russian collection. And An Affair in Red Square from that collection is the most beautiful sparkly red.. it reminds me of Dorothy’s ruby slippers :)
Friday, January 25, 2008
How many polishes do you have to your name, Stacey? :) I love that red! Gorgeous.
Friday, January 25, 2008
Hmm.. I’m not sure because I have sold a few lately. I would say it is around 70-80 now. It used to be over 100! But who would ever use up that much nail polish?! I went a little crazy with it, lol. That was my pre-MAC obsession.
Sunday, January 27, 2008
A very respectable collection :D
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Oh! nail polish is one of my obsessions. I’m always looking for good colors. Right now I’m into dark colors and trying to do something besides red/burgundy which are my classic faves. I get a mani/pedi every 2 weeks because I’m OCD about my nails looking good. Right now I’m wearing MAC’s Vestral White. It took 3 coats to look white but it looks super cool. Other MAC polishes I have that I love: Steamy (from Barbie Collection), Gold Veneer, Hi Lily Hi Lo, Whirlwind (from Blue Storm Collection), Rainy Day (from Blue Storm Collection). My fav Chanel polish right now is from their Spring 2008 collection – Blue Satin. I have a bunch of OPI polishes that will take me a while to list here. OPI is coming out with an India Collection on Feb 6 and there are going to be some AWESOME colors in it that I can’t wait to get!!
Friday, January 25, 2008
Hey Shefali! How many polishes do you have to your name? The India collection definitely looks LOVELY! I liked the Russian line for winter.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Almost never wear nail polish, but I did like a pale green one from OPI.
Friday, January 25, 2008
I go years with no polish, then get back into it and wear it all the time. It’s a weird obsession.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Gotta lean towards loving the jewel tones or a nice french manicure :) But I’m up for anything as long as it’s nothing tacky.
Friday, January 25, 2008
I love jewel tones, too! :)
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Well, when I am in my “lazy mood” I just buffer my nails and add some clear and shiny top coat. But like every two weeks, I paint them in some of my fav shades: black, blue, green, red or purple. I love how they look. By the way, I wear my nails very very short. I don´t want to look like Elvira.
Friday, January 25, 2008
I keep mine fairly short, too :) I can’t deal with too long of nails, they interfere with everything!
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Shimmery reds are my favorites. I love “I’m Not Really A Waitress,” “Suzy Loves Sydney,” and “Botega Blackberry.” Much <3 for OPI!
Friday, January 25, 2008
OPI is great! Those are some awesome shades.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
i LOVE opi!!
right now im wearing affair in red square on my fingers, and koala bear-y on my toes
i pretty much wear all colors lol
Friday, January 25, 2008
Seems like OPI may be the brand of choice here :)
Thursday, January 24, 2008
I usually am a french tip acrylic girl… To me, there is nothing that beats the classiness/sexiness of fake nails LOL!!! But other than that, I like “Charged Up Cherry” by OPI and also another OPI color- I can’t remember the name- it’s at home somewhere… But it is a red color with red and gold glitters… I love it!
Friday, January 25, 2008
lol, Annie! Do you keep them pretty long? I could never deal with the upkeep of acrylics!
Friday, January 25, 2008
I love pinks and golds, my favorite of the moment is chanel ballerina.
Friday, January 25, 2008
Nice choice!
Friday, January 25, 2008
when i get them done i go with french gel nails
my favourites are gee whiz (is that right lol) and steamy from MAC of course ….i love pinks
Friday, January 25, 2008
Steamy, pretty!! :)
Friday, January 25, 2008
Pinks mostly but i like red or gold as well, i don’t tend to go with anything that far outside the norm, i love bright eyeliners and eyeshadows and don’t mind going a bit mad with them but I like more classic colours in varnish.
Friday, January 25, 2008
I love golds as well as pinks :) It’s funny how sometimes we’re all about brights, but only for certain things!
Friday, January 25, 2008
I’m wearing a dark pink colour at the moment. It’s got a TINY bit of blue in it, so it’s kinda more cold…I guess it’s a dark fuschia…
Friday, January 25, 2008
That sounds really pretty, Rise :) Do you have the name of it?
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
It really depends for me on how long my nails are. If they are short, Lincoln Park at Midnight by OPI is my favorite, or MAC’s Beiged Bliss. As they get longer, I tend to stay towards taupe, nude colors. I always love how french manicures look on everyone else, but on me, they always look horrible!
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
I totally get that! Dark colors look great on shorter nails.
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
TAlk about a popular post.
I usually wear pale colors since my soft nails chip so easily.
However I’ve been using Dark Red by ELF on my toes, so hot!
And mostly Mademoiselle on my fingers. That or a Nude by Elf.
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Apparently, I didn’t know we had so many nail polish wearers :)
Friday, March 14, 2008
I may be too late posting here, but I LOVE dark dark colors on short square nails – all year around. Purples, plums, deep wines, dark chocolates, navies, dark greens…
Saturday, March 15, 2008
You’re not the only one! I love dark shades on short nails, too.

Browns, reds, and pinks.
