Nail polish question - black tie wedding! — Brooklynian

Nail polish question - black tie wedding!

So we're going to a black tie wedding in 2 weeks...my dress is sort of a punch color (dark orangey pink) and looks very early-60s vintage. Am planning to wear open-toed shoes.

Question: I would ordinarily go with a pale/neutral pedicure, but have a huge, gross bruise on one of my big toe nails (my toe got between my dog and a toy he was chasing around...ouch). Is it tacky to match my pedicure to my dress? Should I cross my fingers that the bruise isn't too, too noticeable through pale polish?

I suspect that this is a fairly conservative wedding-crowd.

    what color are your shoes? Is it "peep toe" or a strappy sandal?

    go pale--some of the polishes are pretty opaque, so the bruise shouldn't be a problem. Plus, you can get mileage from it after the event.

    They are peep-toe d'orsay pumps. Dark gold.

    I'm leaning toward pale......I'll keep playing with different brands for opacity...some of them look chalky.

    Black. Black nail polish= What bruise?


    I like black on my toe nails. :)

    Ok back to you - black? Black tie event , maybe they might think it's ..... different? It's okay to be different. You be different that day. Do it for the poor toe that has the bruise.

    Have your 'curist "white out" the bruise with some white polish, or polish that matches your skin tone, then go over it with the sheer stuff.

    I wouldn't stress about it too much, though.

    ...because the center of attention will likely be the wedding couple and not my big toe??

    :-)

    I like the white out idea....

    @Em: my toes are usually black or bright purple or hot pink or similar.

    almost everyone I've been to a frou frou nail salon (or even not) women are asking for multi-layered polish of different colors. white first, then pale pink, etc. covers so many toe wrongs.

    totally agree with Alafairnadia... thats go with the multii-layer with pale colors!
