What colour nail varnish?

I've got this dress to wear to a wedding at the weekend with red courts and a red handbag. What colour nail varnish should I go for? Red is too matchy matchy for me.

    Either a nude/caramel colour. Or red, I'm afraid.

    Haha Claire I did wonder!

    I didn't know if I'd look a bit silly with it all being red!

    I would go nude TBH. Too much red otherwise.

    Red! Sorry, but it has to be. Nails are meant to be matchy ?

    I would say red too. When you put your bag down it wont be too matchy matchy! and to be honest, nails are tiny in comparison to bags and shoes!

    gorgeous dress!

    I also think red, but then I love red nail polish and I also quite like matchy matchy. If you really don't want red I would go for a nice neutral pink or nude.

    Mrs Bass I thought you'd recognise it as a VoH!

    Right looks like nails are going to be red then, thank you ladies.

    I'd go for a french manicure if you don't want to do red.

    Red here as well, but I love dark dramatic nails, if not red then a nude/french manicure would look good,

    I'd love a French manicure but my hands are nowhere near steady enough to even begin to make it look good!

    Nude. Unless the shoes are closed toe, in which case red is Ok too.

    Oooh good idea!

    Could you splash out and get them done?

    No money in the pot to get them done and also no time. We're travelling to the wedding tomorrow morning to help out. Definitely should have thought about this before because a french manicure would have been spot on!

    Beautiful dress! Where oh where did you buy it? My vote would be for red too. Or a silvery/grey colour.

    Ooh Flora I like that! I spend hours trawling Pintrest looking at nail designs and have seen this one previously.

    Might give it a try later on and see how I go. Problem is I haven't got the steadiest of hands so it might look pants but I'll see!
