I was actually thinking this green wouldn't work on people with pale skin, I thought it would resemble fungus (yes I know that's a disgusting statement) but it looks like it works, and works well. I am a fan of the dark nail varnishes like red and Chanel vendetta (very dark purple).
I think before I dive into the deep end though, I will try lilac as a soft colour. Might look nice in winter with all the strong colours to set it off with a pale pastel nail colour.
