Do you paint your toenails?
Do you. ..
a) paint them only in the summer?
b) paint them all year round?

Even cucumber, radish and parsley can't make mine look any better, timetogo
sad

I will make that all year instead Gransneters.

I hate my feet so hide them all tear round.

Rosalyn69 Mon 13-Jul-20 15:19:30

All year round. Regular pedicures at the beauty salon. Is it boasting to say I have nice feet?

It’s a joke thread...? Sorry don’t get the joke.

I'm having my toes garnished in a couple of weeks time. I've got a pale pink polish on just now until my gel pedicure.

Toenails garnished with sliced cucumber, radish roses and sprigs of parsley always look nicer than plain.

And a nice bit of rocket Callistemon. ?

Don't know why this is under news and politics!

I paint mine only in summer when wearing sandals, as last May the edge of a cooker we were moving dropped on my big toe. Despite wearing garden clogs I had a massive bruised nail which even now is black on the top half. So it's covered in a bright pink since then!

Only in summer so look nice with sandals. Currently a light metallic pink. (makes feet look more tanned).

Only in summer - I think they need to breathe in winter.

Starblaze Mon 13-Jul-20 10:58:07

Well, I'm off to work with bright blue toenails. Feels odd. The young people I work with will notice even small changes and will tell me if they don't like it. My recent new glasses caused all sorts discussion lol

TwiceAsNice Mon 13-Jul-20 10:45:36

All year. Brighter colours in summer and sometimes gold . Hate my nails without polish and if I say so myself have small quite nice feet

TrendyNannie6 Mon 13-Jul-20 10:42:21

Yes, paint both fingernails and toe nails all year round, corals pinks pastels for summer and browns and reds for winter, don’t wear blues greens or yellows ever

Just wondering - why is this post in the News and Politics Forum?

Because the main photo on the main page of this site is very, very, very white, pale-

So it only makes sense to create a thread about toes under politics and news-

Sorry but no it doesn’t.

It's intended as a a joke thread.

But the main picture changes frequently.

Although I've ever seen a closeup of toenails yet

Unfortunately my feet came out of the same mould as Maizie and Calendar ‘s.
I try to cover up as much of my feet as possible with carefully chosen sandals in summer so I don’t expose others to the ghastly sighted my bunions and toes!

Mine too. However, my toenails are probably the best part. And that's not saying much.

All year . Why not look after you self all the time ?

Not painting toenails doesn't mean they are not cared for though.

I never noticed.

It is News!

My toenails are always some lovely colour, usually bright pink or red, or mauve.
But I do give them a couple of months rest from varnish in the winter as I think it's good for them.

I start work today, mainly feet so I am just going out to pick some garnish.
I do hope all 3 of my clients remember to bring their sandals with the Velcro fastenings to make it easier to get over the toes ?

I have a pedicure booked for later on this morning, I am so excited ?

Painted toe nails all year round and they must match my fingernails.

If only I could reach my toenails. grin

Sight, not sighted .
