I guess some people can make it work, but generally I don't find it elegant or sophisticated. Nay........

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

Big yay!  glad  My nails almost never all match.  I typically will have at least one "accent" nail on each hand - whether it's a nail that is a different (complimenting) color, or a single glittery one amongst cremes. It's like my own little way to be creative without being over the top.

My swap post for any of those interested:

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

Yay, I've been doing it for years. With colours and finishes that compliment each other, a little nail art on one fingernail etc. Looks cool and fun providing its on natural nails. Don't like artificial nails.

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

For me, it depends on the actual design. I really like the fourth picture (the different shades of blue). I think it looks cool and pretty, and I would wear that kind of style for sure, in other colors too, so I would say "yay" to that one. But I don't really like a lot of the others, so "nay" to those.

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

Generally Nay because it just looks a little O.T.T. However, the fifth pic down looks kind of cool (the one with peachy nails and one golden-glittery nail).

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

I like the ones with the 5 different blues. That was cute. All mine match though. There are cuter trends than that out there.

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

I think they are ok depending on your profession. A professional artist or musician could probably pull this off.

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

The blue version you posted is cute and also the first one with the flowers, but someone need to know how to do it. For example those natural nail with the silver one or those with the blue, to me are too different. It does look good if the color are similar though. I think the extreme version is just weird.

No. To me, it suggests psychosis.

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

Just for kids and teens I think. But definitely you could pull off this look if you're not too serious a personality (at any age!). 80

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

My girls do this, but they are young and one is very artsy.  And theirs look way better, lol.

Slow down, you're moving too fast.  Gotta make the morning last, just kicking down the cobblestones.  Looking for fun and feelin' groovy!

Re: YAY or NAY Mismatched nails trend?

Usually I tend to go for slightly quirky trends however, in my opinion some of the above pictures remind me of a person who was in the middle of a manicure, got an emergency phone call and had to run out of the place with her nails half done.http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/emoticons/character/character-emoticon-0023.gif 

The other picture above looks like they were doing a color test as they couldn't make up their mind which color to choose.

The last nail picture is just tacky IMO.  yikes

I agree, these ones aren't well done, and the last one is hideous.
