Fluttershy is a little girly, but also really shy, so I didn't want to do anything too over the top for her. I kept it simple - a solid color with a little bit of nail art embellishment.
I ended up custom mixing these colors to make it just right for Fluttershy. My base colors were Rimmel Lasting Finish in Sunshine, Barry M Limited Edition Pink, and Eyeko Rain. I added white to both the yellow and pink to make appropriate colors, mixing them drop by drop.
Rimmel Sunshine is really the perfect color for Fluttershy, after I diluted it with some white - at first glance it appears to be just a yellow creme, but when it comes out into the sunshine it has a lovely subtle hidden shimmer. Fluttershy's a bit like that too - at first she appears shy, timid, and easily frightened, but the best shines out of her when the time is right.
After the base of yellow, I carefully dotted on cutie mark butterflies in pink and blue. Actually, this manicure gave me the most compliments out of any pony mani so far - several people said how much they liked it. A sunny yellow is just the thing for a dreary day.
