Poll for manicure

[mamadeb]

My mother is standing under a canopy in three weeks. I'm wondering how I should do my nails

One thing to keep in mind - whatever it is has to look good on very short nails - and tips and wraps are out of the question.

And I apologize for the misplaced apostrophe.

I chose dark red, because I never like matching fingernails to an outfit; it always seems so...I don't know. Matchy-matchy, I suppose, like wearing pink shoes AND a pink top AND a pink headband, or one of those tracksuit jobbies.

Dark red is classic, elegant, and looks good with ivory and plum. It's just what an accent color should be.

It depends on what you're matching, surely - one year, I wore green nail polish to a dinner because it matched a design on the outfit and the purse.

But I'm not planning on matching shoes, purse or stockings to the outfit. Hat will have a matching brocaded ribbon, but the scarf underneath will be very dark, as an accent, as you say. (I'm wearing a straw hat over a scarf tied in a bun. That way, I can take off the hat.)
