Favourite nail colours and/or nail swatches for WOC

[nazneen372]

What are your favourite nail colours? It takes me ages to find shades that look good and don't clash with my skin tone (I tried Chanel's Orange Fizz yesterday and it went neon on me, and not in a good way!)

I'll post some swatches I have in my iPhoto later, but here's a lowdown on my faves (can you tell I love cremes, and purple).

OPI Parlez Vous OPI - this is my all time favourite colour!
MAC Love & Friendship - so sweet!
OPI Boris and Natasha - lovely plum shade for Autumn
Bourjois So Laque in Rouge Diva - deep true cherry red, perfect red for WOC I think!
OPI Tickle My Francey - best mannequin hands for NC40-42
OPI Over the Taupe - best "greige" for WOC I think as it has a hint of warmth in it
OPI Can You Dig It? - loved this shade, but nearly finished! It's my favourite bright purple summer polish - am going to get Pamplona Purple next as a replacement.

What are your favourites? and can anyone advise of a soft coral/peach creme that is flattering on darker skins?

I have so many but my most worn are OPI Russian Navy, Hawaiian Orchid, La Paz-itively Hot, and Royal Flush Blush is a super soft peachy coral, it's not a creme but I <3 it against my skin! I'm a NC40.

I like nail polish with pink tone but I do wear other darker colours.

China Glaze - Wild Mink, Raspberry Field, Custom Kicks, International Flare
OPI - Tijuana Dance
Orly - Midnight Star, Mint Mojito

I still have a lot of favourites but I just don't remember their names!

summertime bright orange coral that shimmers hot pink

new shade! This is Barry M Mint Green with a coat of GOSH's Magic Star on top (clear iridescent glitter):

you can see the glitter better here. I think I'd prefer a softer colour like Misa's Dirty Sexy Money or Models' Own Slate Green, but it's quite fun
