It's my prom this year and I have no idea how to do my nails. I've got a black dress, very fair skin and my hair will be bright red/orange. I'm not amazing at nail art but I can do some simple things and will be willing to learn the basics - I just want more than just one colour - if I can decide what colour!
I think you should do something to play with the red and black look. Maybe red nails, with black caviar tips or something like that. Edgy but still sophisticated looking :D
You should do reddish/orange nails that match your hair. You can either try doing flames in a darker/lighter color on top or try to do black swirls on the orange/red color :) That's what I would try at least, but go for what you want to do!
