Polish on, polish off, polish on, polish off. There should be a rule that you can only change toe nail polish color once a week, it's too much work removing the polish

I just do my toes once...usually in a "one color fits all" metallic medium red. I then just touch-up as needed.

Fingers I do once a week, clean off the old, put on a different color(s)...:)

O.o ....But   ...  I like the smell of acetone!!       :laugh:

I LOLed!!!
I want to do short French nails for toes one day
And habdsy favorite style.  Goes with anything

Mmmmh, I have a miracle solution to that. Socks.

Sorry, that was pretty useless. But me, I don't know if I'll ever feel up to wearing anything that reveals my feet. They don't look very good, and they're hairy, and even if waxed, you can tell they're supposed to be hairy from the large holes in the skin. :c

That feel. I know it. Moreso about other parts of my body than my feet, though, (i.e. my hands), but it's similar enough.

That said, socks are not a half-bad solution... Stripes, polka-dots, and other cute patterns in adorable colours can be found anywhere, and they never fail to make feet look a hundred times more perfect than they really are.

Nail polish isn't something I really enjoy in any case. It doesn't look great on me, and I would feel too silly about wearing it even if it did.

That is funny, thank you Ms A, life is way to short not to laugh. Just today I also wore socks a while because I did not want to see my feet/toes

I change my nail color often, it's easy/fun, however I just cannot stand it if my toes are not the exact same matching color so here I go again over & over cleaning my fat little toe nails with all the little places polish hides.

Try doing your own acrylic nails.  About once a week,  you have to file and fill in.  Then comes the color.  I did it for years, but because of my profession I keep mine short now.

I tried acrylic long nails years ago. It was kinda fun but natural nails feel & look better. I have to wear gloves a lot however I always feel good when my natural nails get long.

I like "Wild" - which is coral-colored and seen in the upper left.

One day I'm going into a nail salon & have a nice set of very very long nails cemented on permanent type so I cannot remove them no matter what. Long nails are a challenge to just do normal things however it feels great really, so feminine & pretty. I tried at home stuff long ago, it was so hard to do, made a mess, I stopped.

Cool, what a nice Christmas present for a girl friend. My mother owned a beauty shop, as a little boy I loved to paint my nails & have girly fun around all the women having their hair done, I still do.

I feel the same way and I lovelovelove fun socks!

Rarely wear it on my toes.
I hate my feet being touched, even by myself. In winter I'll never wear it, I won't even remove the colour I put on in summer.

These days I'll only ever wear it if I'm wearing open toed shoes, but its now heading into winter here and I'm pretty much living in boots or flats.
Finger nails are always done however, whenever I'm bored I'll change the colour

Nicole, stay warm down your way with nice socks/boots. It seems a lot of members are from your beautiful country. I've met a very nice helpful MTF TS good friend that is also getting ready for your winter.

Doesn't get too cold here in Melbourne, avg is around 10 to 15˚ (50 to 60˚F).

But you'll noticed it with open toed footwear

My toes are painted at all times with various colours :).

But, well, it's currently cold, so nobody gets to see them generally. Instead they get to see my numerous cute socks ( butterflies / ladybugs / dots / hearts / flowers etc ).

My toes saw the light of day months back in summer, and got a few comments on them, but that's about it :laugh:

I love doing my toenails!  my lovely spouse and I like to look for and share new colors we find :) I love her for things like that!

Yesterday's color,

Michelle, such lovely legs, toe nails & feet. Great for you girl friend. I also enjoy my toe nails but it always seems just after applying a shade I change my mind soon & want a different shade.

Anyway have great day California Girl.

Thank you sweetie!! :)

Sweetie is such a nice word, thank you. I love being a sweetie, all nice & pink & buttons & bows....

Nice dark red polish. They do not come off for a week, no matter what!

Polish plus clear topcoat. Lasts me a week even when exposed. Gotta love the red =)

2 days & I just had to remove the polish, bright red just too much for spring, needed softer shade. I knew I could never last a week. I've never been able keep the same shade for finger nails or toe nails for a week or more.

I have that same color and use it often.  For some reason, it just brightens my mood to see it on.

I think I'm weird, because I've never liked coloured nails. Except for special things like black for a gothic look or some costumes. The whole rest of the planet seems to think it looks good. Also, I sort of like those intricate drawings, either in polish or plastic nails, but only for a short while. Then I feel it's way too flashy and I stop liking it.

I know exactly how you feel. I just feel kinda ridonkulous with polish on for whatever reason. I do need to start taking better care of my nails though but I always cut em wrong and they get all jagged. I really should start filing them again.

Oh, but you can totally file them wrong as I do, too. xD That's why I'm going to try to get someone who knows that stuff to teach me.

I love painting my nails.

During the summer months, my toes are almost always painted a color. My favorite colors are red or blue.., but i do experiment with other colors.

In the winter months, normally do a clear vanish or a french pedicure.

My hands are almost always have a color. Red or french manicure are my favorite.

Doing your nails I think makes give a feminine look.

I thought I would try yellow nail polish for something different...dont know if it works with my skin tone or not,

       Just did mine this afternoon Pure Azure it is a shade of blue. One coat clear two coats Azure
one coat clear. This matches my open toe 4" heels perfectly and looks very attractive under a pair of CK jeans.

A friend of mine got me doing something and it's actually kinda fun....say i do my toes pink with a teal tip, ill do my fingers teal with a pink tip....it's been lots of fun but gets hard when you start doing your fingers say half pink half zebra.
