Remember my last post about wedding nails? Well, I’m bringing it up because I just bought three different nail colors to try out. Get ready, ladies. This is definitely going to be a picture-heavy post.
The first color is “Give Peach a Chance” by OPI for Sephora.

The second is “Orgasm” by NARS. Could they have given it a more awkward name?

And the third, “The Glimmer Twins in Gold,” is really more of an accent color.

So I tried each color out individually.

Then I tried to get fancy. I put a gold stripe on the “Give Peach a Chance” finger so it’s sort of like a French manicure with a twist. Then I dabbed a little gold glitter on the base of the nail coated in “Orgasm” by NARS. On the gold nail, I just went crazy with the glitter.

This is where you come in, hive. I need y’all to help me choose. Which of the three colors, if any, gets your vote? What about the designs?
Here’s one more picture showing all three in sunlight, but if you think they are all equally horrible, please don’t hesitate to tell me so! I’m open to suggestions.

I really like the pseudo-French manicure!
I like the “Orgasm” color (well that was awkward), the peach color looks good in the bottle but IMO it looks too white on your nails, and I don’t like gold nails so I’m biased there.
I like the “orgasm” nail on it’s own. It’s pretty, it’s simple, and I love the color.
The gold one looks green? Nice nail polish choices! I like the orgasm with the sparkle. NARS is famous for their orgasm multi and blush which are supposed to make you look perfectly flushed, like you just had an orgasm…. so the colour name kind of makes sense then.
I like the orgasm one (ooh that -is- awkward) but maybe with glitter on the tip instead. Like a twist on a French mani, but so it fades down towards the base of your nail? Like this: http://www.theminerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/subtle-sparkle-nails.jpg ???
I like the Orgasm one best but I don’t love any of them, I would keep looking
Color-wise I’d also day Orgasm is the best…. however you should really take the color of your dress into consideration.
I love the sparkle with the Orgasm. My 7th grade brain just can’t handle that name though. Haha
I think they’re all very pretty, I like the “Give Peach a Chance” faux-french-tip with the gold the best!
Orgasm all the way, and not just because it makes me giggle 
I’d definitely pick orgasm, and I think it looks best on its own. The french manicure is fun, but you might look back later and wish you’d done something less trendy.
I can never choose just one – I like the peach “french” tip , and the orgasm with a bit of glitter! Both are nice
@soontobeMrsBoo:
I agree! The Nars Orgasm would look awesome with a glitter tip (faux French Manicure. But I’m a sucker for gold glitter nail polish any day.
Lovin’ the choices…
Usually I am a GOLD Girl all the way… but these certainly make for some great alternatives.
# 1- Fave would have to be the “Give Peach a Chance” with the French Gold Tip
# 2- “Orgasm” with a touch of sparkle at the tip… like SOONTOBEMRSBOO suggested with her posted link.
Actually it is pretty tough to choose between the two without seeing them in person… I find a lot of times colours don’t translate the best over the computer… much better IRL.
Hope this helps (some),
Mrs. Unicorn, Atlanta, Georgia Age and Occupation: 22, Retail Sales Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, Graphic Designer Engagement Date: November 27, 2011 Wedding Date: September 2012 Venue: The Farm About Me: I’m an impatient, impulsive person with a creative side and a flair for the dramatic. I’m very much a DIY sort of girl, and I have the messy craft table to prove it. I worked at a veterinary clinic for the better part of seven years before diving headfirst into the totally different world of sales. I must say, the change has been one for the better; I no longer have clients that bite or scratch, nor does my workplace smell of kitty litter. My true passion, however, is aerial acrobatics and dance, and I hope to open my own studio one day. Mr. Unicorn doesn’t bat an eye when he comes home from work to find his fiancée hanging upside down from a pole. Together, we enjoy shooting things (with a camera), playing Xbox games (my strategy consists primarily of button-mashing), and enjoying the company of our spoiled pit bull named Leeloo. We are planning a fall wedding with lots of DIY details and a rustic-chic vibe. Our budget is tight, but we know we can work around it to plan the wedding we want.
