Get the legs out,ladies.

She needs to put her foot down with a firm hand then?Must admit to not being brave enough, I do a pedicure myself(it's impossible to tickle your own foot, I wonder why?)Feet always look nice with shaped and varnished toenails in sandals, so well worth it!

Cannot get to my own feet easily. Plus she puts on primer, 3 coats of varnish and a sealant. They will look good for about 6/8 weeks, so tie in with holidays planned.

Do you get to choose the colour?
Are there "in" colours?

I haven't got as far as painting my toenails yet but this is the first day I have had my summer 7/8ths light weight trousers and fit flops on. Glad to get out of jeans and ankle boot mode.

Painted toe nails on Sunday, mid pink and sandal ready! x

Dare I get up to the loft and get the bags of summer clothes down? Or will it precipitate another Ice Age or a flood of Biblical proportions?

Soontobe. I take my own nail varnish, which I have had for 3 years because I only paint my toenails in colour. I like Dior's Rouge Noir because it goes with everything. But Dior also do a lovely grey pinky beige which is ideal if you want a subdued look.
My legs are like two milk bottles on the step and are a bigger problem than feet. If I put on fake tan it sort of highlights blemishes as well. Leg make up looks great till you rub on something. I have given up waxing, as too painful and stick to Veet. Talk about age bringing high maintenance issues.

Isn't Rouge Noir by Chanel?

Yes! Silly me. Rouge Noir by Chanel.

Knees were seen on the golf course this week - not mine at best its pedal pushers I don't have figure for skorts or shorts. I am mauve all over but going for first pedicure of the year on Thursday after having had a good go at the chiropodist last week.

I have dared to shave ankles and toes and ironed linen trousers today. So the weather is bound to take a turn for the worse, sorry.

The trouble with Summer is that there is so much on show!

LOL, more on show that you might expect if you look at the bikini thread.

pompa, do calm down - is it Spring fever?

I have never had a pedicure or toenails painted by someone else; I was thinking of it for this summer but I have ticklish feet and I didn't think about that. It would be embarrassing to kick out and knock the pots of varnish all over the salon

Probably

Had a pedicure and manicure last week. Paraffin wax to ankles and feet was soooooo nice.
I can't reach my feet and they and the ankles are very painful all the time.

She puts your foot on her lap, so you would kick her in the chops!

Mine brings a box of about three dozen colours and you can choose. Is brilliant!

It's alright for you lot but I'm stuck with wearing surgical stockings until next Monday. Can't wait to get them off but I'll need the body scrub and a razor before I can dig out the shorts.

Have any of you used a sunbed? I've never used one and always thought that they were unnecessary and a danger to your skin, but seeing my pale, pasty arms today I'm wondering if it might be worth a try.

I did once, yogagran, but these days warnings are issued against them - skin cancer and so on. Stay interestingly pale.

yogagran, I have never used a sunbed - especially in the ten years since I had a melanoma removed. There are various creams, lotions and potions that will give you a tanned look without any danger of skin cancer. But be careful! When my DS got married, I put a self-tanning product on my legs. However, I'd failed to exfoliate and my heels turned very dark brown. Before the big day, I had to scrub very hard with everything I could think of, short of Brillo Pads and did succeed in getting my heels to match the rest of me.

Has anyone had a fake bake? You know, a spray job.

I remember heading off for a meeting in London with my lady boss early one morning. I had to go via a M&S to get some black tights because she had attempted a DIY spray tan and her legs were some very strange colours - note I say colours, rather stripey.
