Bright pinks and light to medium shades of red or purple are perfect for those who are fair-skinned. If you got a medium skin tone, go for blue, orange, metallic light blue, and silver. For those who have darker skin, try maroon, garnet, and deep purples.
I recommend you to visit Orly Nail Lacquer as they have plenty of fun color variants that will suit every skin hue. Though I know some girls really don’t mind on what colors they like to put on their nails. However, consider this some kind of a tip for the clueless.
I can’t believe this is just my second post for this month. Lazy month for me, I guess? Oh well, I’m leaving some questions that are actually not related to the blog.
- Pretty or sexy? Pick only one.

I am too lazy to use nail color. I usually have my King’s little sister sculpt me some 3D nails since she’s so good at it. x3 Makes getting deco nails super cheap for me since I only have to pay for materials.
Oh God. I missed you sis <3
Merry Christmas!! ayoko naman maging bad sayo at iklian ung comment ko. I'll just make my comment not too short, hehe.
I prefer colorless nail polish, promise! mas like ko siya when it comes to my feet. Di ako mahilig sa mga colorful nail polish, pero siguro kapag nag-aral na ako masusubukan ko rin yan, for now di ko mood gumamit nun.Hihi.
Take care! ILY.
I don’t even pay attention to what colors should be “good for me” lol, i just choose colors depending if i like them, but i have medium skin so i guess blue is good (waht i have now). and are they fast drying? i can not stand nail polish that take forever to dry=/
i realized only good nail polish can dry fast and not chip, and it’s expensive=/
* Pretty or sexy? Pretty; it last longerr
* Any gift suggestion for a special someone? mhm, idk inside joke stuff always work.
* What is/are thing/s you’re looking forward to in 2010?a new year:)
and thanks, that should be like a quote haha, i think it is.. good stuff, happen to people who wait lol. and yea it’s turning around. I think it was just a mental breakdown
French manicured nails are my favourite. But I do own lots of Barry M nail varnish and they’re all really bright
Merry Christmas!
thanks for the tips sis! that would surely help me pick
what nail color suits me.
* Pretty or sexy? Pick only one.
-Pretty nalang, haha! aanhin mo ang sexy figure kung panget naman, LOL.

I don’t get color for my nails often. I just use colorless, cause yeah, I’m really having a hard time to know the right color for my nails. Maybe I’ll try orange. Hahaha.
Thanks for the really nice compliment. Thankies!
I don’t actually use nail polish but I’ll keep those in mind in case I decide that I want to paint my nails! Haha.

This is such a handy blog! I am actual planning on buying some nail varnish with xmas money and I was wondering what colour to purchase.
Yay, I’m doing it right! Lol. I usually use the colours you mentioned for fair skin…pale neutrals make it look like I’ve erased my nails, and dark colours are a definite no-no for someone who puts on polish as clumsily as I do.
I’ll have to check out those Orly nail polishes though…I hadn’t even heard of them before, but hopefully we do have them here and I just haven’t noticed!
As for your questions…
* Pretty or sexy? Pick only one.
_In terms of what? In general I’d say pretty for girls, sexy for guys.
* Any gift suggestion for a special someone?
_Not any good ones. And I’m guessing now that Christmas is over it’s not necessary anyway, lol.
* What is/are thing/s you’re looking forward to in 2010?
_Starting my new degree, and…um, that’s about it.
I don’t really paint my nails too often, but when I do I only use Orly polish. They last the longest out of all the brands I’ve tried, which is always a nice thing!
- Pretty
- Gifts are hard, so I have no clue. I usually settle for something crappy at the last minute
- Not much at all, except my sister graduating and me getting new room mates, lol
I’m wearing a blue shade right now.. So tama pala ang pinipili kong nail shade for me.
Thanks for the tip.
Pretty or sexy? Pick only one. – ugh, I’m greedy. gusto ko pretty AND sexy.. pero since I only have to pick one, I’ll choose pretty
Any gift suggestion for a special someone? – PLANNER
What is/are thing/s you’re looking forward to in 2010? – new work, new life, new career, new me, BETTER me than last year(2009).
