I have been twice to the swimming pool recently with black painted toe nails. I got tired putting off the paint every week before swimming.  So I finally decided ........ what the heck ......... I don't care what happens.  What can happen anyhow ? They'll shoot me or so ?

I expected everybody to make remarks, look at me as being some alien.  To my own surprise not a single soul has made a remark about my 'cool' toes and they were not all the time under water at all.  Some people must have noticed for sure when I entered the pool or when in the yacuzzi with my feet out or when walking next to the water or when under the shower going out.

Nothing, nada, zip, niente.  Not even a smile or so.  Didn't seem to "impress" anybody. I acted normal and so did all the other people.

I hear once your in the Japanese mob it's impossible to get out.  But yeah, my nails are painted, no on here mentions it, but you have to try to get noticed here, and that's not even trying.

Just let go 100% & be your self. Do not even care what other people think. The more confident you are about yourself the more other people will treat you better/nicer. You go girl.

I think that, unless we live somewhere really unpleasant, most people are beyond being shocked at what younger people do these days .  "This week's  fad, it'll pass," is the most likely reaction.

I have every finger with different color and noone have a problem with it.
Just some friends ask why I have painted nails, I just say I like it, or It is practical thing for repairing car, because you don't see mess under nails (and it is true  ) and yesterday I was asked where I buy this nice green nail polish.

Good for you. You look great!

Changing toe polish is such a pain. Once it is on it should just stay of for at least a week unless we really feel like a different color. Red toe nails for me.

Love doing my nails, like them as long as possible/perfect, changing finger nail color is fun to me, so many shades to try out, all seem to be just a little different.
