    I feel rather silly asking this as it probably seems pretty trivial and it's not wedding related. New years eve is a big deal for me, I got a beautiful purple dress and shoes and I'm wearing black accessories and I'm going to have a mani/pedi and wasn't sure what color to have them painted....any suggestions? :P Thanks in advance.

    Shoes: http://www.bakersshoes.com/product.aspx?p=138878

    The shoes are a bit lighter than the picture shows.

    That's going to be a cute outfit! I would go with a dark plum nail polish, maybe?

    As a self professed nail polish addict I would say black.  If that's too dark for your tastes then black on toes and a nuetral pale pink on tips.  Pretty dress!

    My first thought was a dark grey color, like OPI's My Private Jet, Give Me the Moon, or Sally Hansen Flirt Frost.  Or a light purple/silver like Lavendar Envy Frost.  I also love OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, which is a little dark, but kinda purple.

    Goodness, you ladies sure know your polishes! Thanks for the outfit compliments and all the help so far! Black is a little too dark for me, I like the plum idea and I like the Give Me The Moon by OPI. Thanks again girls! :)

    I adore Lincoln Park After Dark. If you can find Lincoln Park at Midnight, its equally as good. 

    I love dark on my nails.

    @Leafy , one more suggestion!  I remembered seeing this color on an episode of Martha Stewart recently--a Deborah Lippmann color called Wicked Game.  It's sort of an iridescent grey/silver/purple from her holiday 2009 collection.

    Lincoln Park After Dark is a great color. :)

    Also, you can't beat a good nude color.

    Okay 80% of the time I rock the French Mani/Pedi.  BUT....lately I've been LOVING OPI's dark colors - Lincoln Park is AMAZING and I think it would look stellar with your purple dress/black accessories outfit!

    Happy New Year!
