If you are going to wear open-toe sandals or peep-toes, make sure your nails are painted. However, nude nails don't look that bad if your pedicure is top-notch and your feet are well-groomed and pretty. In fact, nude nails are much better than nails with chipped nail polish. Also, slathering on some weird color nail polish on ugly, uncared for toe-nails and strutting around in peep-toe pumps isn't a pretty sight either.

Toe polish lasts a long time while a manicure doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI never wear fingernail polish. It just doesn't last. When I wear sandals I think my toes look naked without some polish. I personally like bright colors on my toes, especially bright red.
ReplyDeleteI do like to paint my toe nails during the summer. I think it makes my feet look better. I don't care for manicures or pedicures (I know I'm probably in the minority there but, I can't stand the feel of the nail files -- makes me very nauseous) so, I paint my toe nails myself. I like deep reds/maroons and pinks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for wearing toenail polish. Unpolished toenails make me gag. There's just something about them...
ReplyDeleteI either wear a white pearlescent polish or bright red.
I polish my toenails because they look so hideous if I don't. I get v-shaped cracks that run vertically down my toenails, my nails are lumpy from all the times I've smashed my toes, I have large areas where the nail is separated from the nailbed, and sometimes I break off 1/4 or so of a toenail. A light polish sort of blends it all in. I really should try pedicures, but I'm terrified of what they'll say when they see my feet. It seems like no matter how hard I work to get them decent, they look terrible.
ReplyDeleteMy fingernails are usually either bare or polished with clear only, but in sandal season my toenails are always polished. With all the cooking etc that I do, it chips right off on my fingernails and looks worse than nothing, plus I feel like my fingernails don't really "need" it as much. ON my toes I like muted reds (OPI French Cognac is a fave), soft pinks and corals, or pearly white or beige colors--anything, really, that won't look garish or clash horribly with my clothes or shoes.

I think french manicures make your toenails look bizarrely long...toenails just don't usually have that much white part sticking up.
ReplyDeleteI always have my toenails painted...fingernails - hardly ever. My favourite colours are purples and blues....though if veins are a problem these might not be the best choices Last time I got a pedicure I had them paint little flowers on my big toe...very fun. I love pedicures!
I am not a sandal wearer so, I don't get into the toe polish for myself.
ReplyDeleteSoak your nails, then apply your favorite varnish, top coat, and lotion… so nice!
