To wear glittery nail polish at my age?

[AwfulMaureen]

I'm 40....I just bought a glittery nail polish because I liked it and then it struck me...am I too old?

[WhateverLover]

Nope

[5madthings]

Well I wear glittery nail polish, my toes are purple with glitter at the moment. I am 35 and see no reason to stop wearing it once I reach 40!

[EmmanuelWoganberry]

Nah, I don’t believe in age limits. What colour?

[StillStayingClassySanDiego]

Of course not!

Wear what you like, I'm looking for a nice summery blue varnish and I'm 45.

[ChameleonCircuit]

We'll I'm 43 and have dozens of the things, so shall we be "too old" together?!

If you want to wear it, who cares what anyone else thinks?

[AwfulMaureen]

It's red! There was a nice beige one but the red just spoke to me...no point doing things by half I say and also, I'm pale and natural colours look odd on me sometimes.

[ChameleonCircuit]

StillStayingClassySanDiego - I recommend Essie's Beach Bum Blu, or A-England's Order of the Garter.

[Ev1lEdna]

I'm nearly 40 - this year - and I have several bottles of the stuff in various colours. I love glittery nail varnish, all nail varnish actually. Stillstayingclassy check out the BarryM Gelly nail varnish they have a lovely aqua or a nice pale blue.

[ChameleonCircuit]

Maureen - we need pictures!

[Ev1lEdna]

Oh yes A-England Order of the Garter is lovely and their varnishes go on so nicely.

[EmmanuelWoganberry]

Ooh I’ve got a red glittery Barry M one, it’s amazing.

[StillStayingClassySanDiego]

I'll look out for those hues of blue, they sound lovely.

Cheers!

I am 40 and currently wearing sparkly pearlescent nail varnish! Love it! It catches the light and looks different colours in different lights!

I have, though, decided I'm too old for chipped nail varnish so now get it done professionally every few weeks. It's a revelation!

[Ev1lEdna]

I have a Models Own white glitter which sparkles rainbow over white nail varnish it is like wearing a disco ball on each finger nail. Love it, one for going out.

[Hoppinggreen]

Oh crap, I'm 42 - do I need to chuck it all my sparkly, magnetic, crackle effect, holographic nail varnishes etc ????

[AwfulMaureen]

Apparently not Hopping! I'm in the market for more...I want some of that polish with big chunks of "stuff" in it....looks like confetti or something.

[WheresRyder]

the nail varnish in poundland is surprisingly good. I brought some glittery ones for dd as shes 8 and wanted glitter, but they are so good, ive been using them. Hot pink glitter, lighter pink and a rainbow effect one. bargains. (I'm 38)

[Lottapianos]

Absolutely not BU. I can't stand all this 'ooh you're over XX so can't do this that and the other'. Wear what you like and enjoy it!

[ilovemywestie]

I'm 47 and last summer my toes had lovely silver glitter nail varnish on them! I love a bit of sparkle

[quirkychick]

The question is not are you too old but does it suit you and your style!

Sounds lovely btw. I am 43 and pale. Red over beige anyday! (beige is vile on me).

Yy to Barry M, I have silver foil and it's fab. Currently sporting turquoise toes and have just bought a new navy varnish.

[Bettercallsaul1]

I was confident, from the title of your thread, that you were 50 or 55 plus, OP! Forty?? That's when life begins, remember ....!

[quirkychick]

My thoughts exactly lottapianos.

[aylesburyduck]

course not! bloody hell I'd have no polish left if I chucked all my glittery ones

[Lottapianos]

I remember years ago those ghastly pair Trinny and Susannah had a book and TV series called 'What to Wear'. They gave Carol Vorderman a right roasting over something she wore that she was 'too old' for. She said she was going to make a rival TV show called 'I'll Wear What I Bloody Well Like' I wish someone would still make that program!
