I've got dark skin and I tend to grow my nails from time to time. I usually wear clear nail varnish, but I'm thinking of wearing a bit of colour. Can anyone suggest colours that suit my skin tone and perhaps suit my personality (I'm a quiet person so I don't want a provocative and 'really out there' colour, just something subtle and nice looking!). Thanks in advance. xx

I think with your skin any nail varnish would look lovely. When I'm tanned I wear loads of bright colours on my feet, like hot pink etc I think hot pink would look good on you or a paler shade if you are not brave enough, or any pastel colour will look really pretty with your skin. I try to team my nail varnish with my outfits. A french manicure with with white tips on your nails looks good on any skin colour.

I think theres so many colours that look gorgeous against brown, I think you should go for a lighter colour maybe a sugar/baby pink or even better a pale blue or lilac I think any of these would look very pretty and not too overpowering xx

I just wear which ever colour matches my outfit or a pale pink colour if I want it to go with everything. Also gold if you wear gold jewellery and silver if you wear silver is a good rule. French manicures are subtle, but can have connotations.

Something that stands out allot is Royal blue... it compliments the skin so nice... even in ya clothes, it looks spectacular... but if ya rather play it safe, try a nice pink, ya know a girlie soft pink.
Good luck, Hope you like it

French manicures look hot, or a dark brown shade could be cool without drawing to much attention to the hands.

I'd go for a bold colour, ie. red or bright pink. Pale colours won't look any good against your skin tone.

Dark red looks classy on dark skin I think.Go to a nail salon and experiment and ask their advice.

How about a nice plummy or mulberry colour? I think copper and bronzy gold would look lovely too. :)
