Is it poor form to wear different colour nail polish on finger nails and toe nails?

[FairhairedandFrustrated]

I don't mean each one painted a separate colour, more the fact I plan to wear an autumn coloured dress tomorrow night - think copper, greens and deep reds.

I have a stunning copper colour polish which I love on my nails, but I have a manky toe [fungal nail bleurgh] and the copper one won't cover it. I have a deep red/burgandy colour too which when I wear on my finger nails (even with a base coat!) it leaves a reddy stain.

SO could I wear the deep red on toe nails as it would cover the manky nail and copper on my finger nails?

Though judging by the rain/hailstones outside tonight I can forget about the sandals and buy tights and boots :(

I don't think I would even notice if someone had different colour nail varnish on their toes and fingers! I would do it.

I think it's a bit passé to match! I like bright toenails and nothing or nearly natural on my fingers, so go for it. ( also have a manky fungus, how bloody long do they last!)

[MangoMonster]

Personal preference I'd say. I tend to do it.

I agree, I think it's old-fashioned to match toes and fingers. I don't like dark colours on my fingernails so tend to keep them pale and subtle but am more adventurous with toenails!

I dunno talkingnonsense, mine has been there ages & no matter what the doc gives me they never go away. And now dh has one too

Matching probably looks more polished/put together, but if I wanted to paint them different colours I wouldn't give it a second thought.

[FairhairedandFrustrated]

Well given that my feet are going to be under the table for most of the night, I have decided to just paint over the deep red that is already on my toes :)

Sorted! :)

I think it's the other way round personally -!think it looks a bit naff to see fingers and toes matched nowadays.

Old fashioned to match.

The last week I've had midnight blue toes and hot pink fingers.

I'd say it was obligatory to have them different colours. Much prefer dark toenails and light fingernails.

Today I painted my toenails different colours, IE all different from each other. Quite nice for a change, although I could see my DP looking at them and thinking WTF?

I do that that too, but only in the winter when no one will see, it makes me smile.

Sometimes to do them tiger/zebra/dotty too.

To answer op, when they are in view I usually have quite striking toes, but very subtle or natural fingers, fingers chip too easily and look rubbish if they are in a dark colour.

I only like matiching finger and toes if they are black or very very dark purple or blue.

Matching shades of red or pink or anything looks very tacky imo.
