AIBU to let my nail varnish on toe nails grow out rather than removing with nail varnish remover

[GoldenSpaceCadet]

Just that really ^

[TheSpottedZebra]

Your toenails, your choice hun.

[IJustLostTheGame]

Yanbu
Because I do it


Although mine grow back with a ridge where the nail starts and the polish ends

[AuntieStella]

Your feet your choice.

But either you have the most amazing rapid grow nails, or you'll have the half-grown out look most of the year.

[Donge13]

It winter, no one will see them. I do this from November to February, I also leave my legs hairy, I am a sloth!

[MaxPepsi]

Well no, but why would you?

It's 2 mins to take it off, and you'll need to cut your toe nails at some point so why not do it all at the same time?

[strawberryandaflake]

In winter when no one sees, fair enough, but in summer - ewwwww.

[GoldenSpaceCadet]

I'm the same as you IJustLost and Donge13
Although I don't mean to boast but they grow pretty fast so only the tips are now painted.

[mrssmith79]

Am so glad it's not just me does this

[Gruntfuttock]

Why on earth do you need to ask anyone else about something like this?

[GoApeShit]

As long as no other human sees your feet during this process.

[madwomanbackintheattic]

I paint my toenails at the beginning of summer. The polish is usually all grown out by the end of October. That's about all the enthusiasm for 'beauty practices' that I can muster, tbh. I shave my legs around the same time, so by now they have a good layer of warmth trapping hair on again to see me through the cold months. I also don't dye my hair lol. If I'm not putting chemicals on my head, why would I want them on my toes?

[GoldenSpaceCadet]

Gruntfuttock.....just curious if I'm the only slob & just for a bit of lighthearted conversation/distraction on a dull December afternoon when the whole world seems to be going crazy.

[GoApeShit]

Why on earth do you need to ask anyone else about something like this?

Gruntfuttock That logic could be applied to about a zillion threads on MN.

[TheWitTank]

I just couldn't. Looking at them all messy would irritate the shit out of me. I couldn't leave my legs unshaven either. Nothing to do with man pleasing before anyone bashes me; I shave them daily because I hate that stubbly feeling. Your feet though, do what you like!

[CakeThat]

I do that!

Toenails last painted in August, currently half grown out.

I have to be very smart for work and always have neatly polished finger nails so it feels excitingly rebellious to have hidden disgusting toe nails

[Shodan]

YANBU, if no-one else sees them

I do my toenails (and shave my legs, actually) throughout winter, but only because I do karate and I use my nails as a distraction technique if I'm getting beaten in sparring

[MovemberSucks]

I'm doing it. I have super-fast growing nails and hair so my toenails, painted in July, have completely grown out except for the big toes which will probably take another six weeks or so.

[DrivingMissLazy1]

Yabu and a slob
Dd is still sporting shellac on her toes from July. It looks horrid.
I take mine off in September and have bare toenails all Winter.

[Everythinggettingbigger]

your nails your choice!

I don't usually with polish as it takes 2 mins to take off and im always re-doing my finger nails in different colours and my OCD dictates that fingers and toes must match but I have done this with shellac.....absolute nightmare to take off and even worse to take off toenails!! I just kept cutting them and the shellac grew out!

[UntilTheCowsComeHome]

I never remove my summer nail polish.

I like looking at it growing out, it reminds me of hot, sunny days. I only have a bit of the coral pink colour left.

I'll paint over it take it off and redo if I wear open toe shoes to my Xmas party. I have some nice sparkly black I might wear.

Then that can stay on until they're done again in the summer.

[zeetea]

Haha I'm with thewittank, it would annoy me, and I still shave in a/w because I wear vest tops & cropped trousers to the gym, but I certainly don't judge anyone else for going au nautral in the winter

[JennyOnAPlate]

Yanbu at all. The ends of my toenails are still sporting the varnish I put on for our holiday in August.

[squigglehead]

My god, I have found my people

I paint my toenails about twice a year. The rest of the time it just... grows out. I even own nail polish remover!

[binkiesandpopcorns]

I remove my toenail polish in summer, but when I put on a coat in September, it stays there until it grows out. No leg shaving here in winter either. I wear trousers all winter and sport hairy legs. DH doesn't seem to mind

[RatherBeRiding]

Think I last painted mine in September - just the big toes half grown out now. I quite like it. I wouldn't do it if they were on show, but its only my nearest and dearest who see them and no-one seems to give a damn!

So no YADNBU
