QUESTION: I have a big event coming up that I want to get my nails done for. Here is a picture of the dress I'll be wearing:

What color polish should I get on my toes? Also, what color should I go with on my fingernails? I was thinking of even getting acrylics?? Or should I just do a color that compliments my pedicure?

Thanks!

ANSWER: First of all let me say i like you dress! Then i would say either your nails (hands/feet) should match or you should have one done in french and the other in color. Depending of the shoes you are wearing, are the colorful? If not go for a color polish, if they are more on the bright side go for french which is a classy neutral look. Your hand can go either way depending on taste.
About colors i would say a deep purple/deep pick would go very nice with this dress.

QUESTION: I think I am going to do color on my toenails and French on my fingers. I am considering getting artificial nails because I love how classy they are. My natural nails are strong and I don't bite them or anything. I am only considering enhancements because I like the look. What do you suggest? Acrylic, gel, or not do them at all? I am not wanting to keep them on long-term, just for this special occasion... Thanks again!

Answer
If you are not wanting to keep them in the long term i strongly advise against getting enhancements. With a good manicure you can get a similar look without the cost of putting/removing the enhancements. Besides, by my personal experience people who enhance their nails for only one occasion do not return to have them professionally removed and by removing them at home or by leaving them for longer periods of time that what intended, they damage their nails.
Even if your nails aren't as long as you wish they were let me reassure you: short nails with a very thin line of white to make the french are very in right now.
