Pandemonium pink. It is called.

I have pale and pasty hands and it works well.

Me, too, Venus - pinks/purples always work well on me.

same. so as long as i stick to cool tones, it doesn't matter if i wear light or dark colours. what i can't do is kind of nude sandy tones (but nude pinks are ok) and coppery colours and anything that looks good with a tan.

That's me. When I was younger I tried so hard to wear shit called Mocha or Peach or Rust. Not happening and it made me look dead.

I also hate when a great color is ruined by adding shimmer - there is a color I love (My Year by OPI) and they have to ruin it by making it all shimmery and tacky (in my opinion). I don't like any shimmers in darker colors.

OHMYGOD Venus, I was thisclose to buying that very shade last week! But I thought it would be too mauve-pinky for my skin tone so nstead I chose a similar, lighter pink called Sweet Heart (please ignore my cuticle situation):

I love it but I still want to go for a whiter, lighter shade of pink because I figure it will "pop" more against my dark olive skin tone. At the risk of ending up with a bunch of polishes in similar shades of pink, I'm thinking of getting one called "Step Right Up"

I'm actually treating myself to a pre-birthday pedi, will let you know what colour I choose.

Could I suggest Flamenco Red?

**Star** · August 29th, 2011, 04:17 PM

I want a good orange-red color... I've been looking at OPI. Any suggestions?

funny you should ask, that's what i just got. it's called opi on collins avenue.
i usually stay away from orangey colours but this is almost like a fluorescent coral and looks good on pale pasty skin with pink undertones like mine because there's definitely some blue/cool fluorescence going on there. it's not a neon or anything but it definitely 'pops'.

I have that one as well, love it. I also love Modern Girl, which is an awesome red/orange and was posted earlier in this thread. When I wear it on my nails it makes me happy.

You ladies are fabulous thank you! I couldn't decide between collins avenue (Loved it but its a little too red. I added it to the list!) I went with OPI Mod-Ern Girl. Thank goodness for eBay!
