Toe nails

!! But just think how those pointy bits would catch on your socks...

Clippers for me. And nail varnish in the summer. Dull gold or paleish pink usually.

Maybe I could cut a v shape all along, pinking shears would be good for that. If nothing else it would enable me to pay DBH back for when he kicks me in bed.

Well I just cut the corners off and I've never had ingrowing ones!

jane! Not a good look...

Gosh Soutra can you drive safely in flipflops?

Gel polish is a good long lasting solution plus* there is no danger of smudging them.as you shuffle to the car in your flip flops.

I can still suck my big toe. If I wanted to.

As for finger nails - cut, smooth and buff. Never, never paint.

Oh that sounds simple janea

To avoid ingrowing toenails you have to cut a little v-shape in the middle of the nail.

Ooh, no not curved - for some reason that's BAD!

Straight cut or curved?

Should have been reach not tech

I suspect that JessM will be asking for sample cuttings from all groups to see if there is any difference in the molecular structure of the nail ends according to the method used?
Either that or because she's a witch and is going to put curses on us!

Can't tech them any more. Looking forward to a manicure and pedicure.
I did used to be able to bite my big toe until my OA got too bad.

Soak 'em, cut 'em, file 'em, sometimes paint 'em

Jess is a scientist Lona! She's allowed to ask!
It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that someone somewhere has been granted funding to research the effects of painting one's toenails on the emotional health of the Ageing Population

Cut them, file them and paint in Summer.

I paint 'em because I will garden in my sandals and the nails get so dirty! So I paint them so the dirt doesn't show I find though, that when I eventually take the varnish off, there are white patches on the nail. Anyone else get this?

JessM Why do you want to know what our toenail habits are?

seems a bit weird to me

Cut, file and paint!

Cut them. Never painted them in my life!

File 'em, then paint them coral. So tempting to paint each one a different colour.

Cut. With difficulty.
