Toenails - to paint or leave bare?

[skincarejunkie]

Are painted toes a bit brash? I'm considering going nail naked on holiday. Classier, right?

[Paintbox]

I much prefer painted toenails. Bare fingernails I quite like but bare toenails I don't

[GotToGetMyFingerOut]

Brash? No can't say that's something I have ever thought. I tend to get shellac on mine that lasts 6 weeks. Never noticed anyone without there toe nails done on holiday last month and I obviously don't look at everyone's but I do tend to look as I'm a beauty therapist and just like checking out different nail styles for inspiration.

[TerfwithaNerf]

Always painted.

I don't think bare toenails look good unless you have super gorgeous foot model-esque feet.

Just never EVER french manicured toes.

[delilahbucket]

Always get shellac on mine for hols. A really bright colour as well. Never considered it to be brash.

[flickertee]

ALWAYS a painted toe!!

Am currently rocking white toenails with super tanned feet a la Rihanna and feelin' swish

[Imstickingwiththisone]

I hate getting my feet out when my toe nails aren't varnished and I'm generally unkempt. Toes look even more horrible otherwise.

[skincarejunkie]

Happy to be corrected! Shellac it is!

[XiCi]

Oh God no. Always painted. Really don't like bare toenails

[thereallochnessmonster]

Always a pedi here! Just had mine done today - gorgeous French pedi. Lovely with a tan.

I don't think anyone's nails look nicer naked than with colour on...

[QueenOfTheHighCs]

If you want some bling, go for mirror chrome powder! Is this what you'd call brash by the way?!

[BuzzKillington]

I am weird as I have painted toenails all year round apart from when I am on holiday when I go bare.

I love the way they get bleached by the sun - and I'm sure the sea, sand and sun does them good.

[Ellieboolou27]

Painted!

[MagnumAddict]

Just realised I never have no varnish on my toenails! Happy to leave fingernails bare through from time to time. No idea why.

[MagnumAddict]

Sorry to answer your question I'd say painted too. Seems undone to me to leave bare

[rosietosey]

Clear gel nail polish here only.

No worries about it flaking off, and it SHINES!

[Lottapianos]

I always go painted but I have a colleague who always go bare and I think it looks fine. So long as nails are short and super clean, it's definitely an option. Anything is better than chipped nails (retch)

[SleightOfMind]

I'm going against the grain to say I prefer bare but buffed and pedicured toes. Especially if feet aren't perfect. Bright varnish just draws more attention to misshapen feet.
I don't really mind though, wouldn't judge either way.

[CakeNinja]

Definitely painted for me!
I hate feet, pretty bright nails make them just about tolerable
Mine are a coral colour ready for my hols :)

[Judydreamsofhorses]

I never, ever have bare toenails, despite the fact I wear sandals about once a year. Feet skeeve me out, painted toes look slightly more bearable!

[silkpyjamasallday]

I agree with @SleightOfMind nail polish just draws attention to feet which are not the prettiest thing to look at. I do mine in winter though, but only for my benefit at home, I can't stand it flaking off when swimming on holiday, it looks so scruffy.

[AmyOb]

+1 for painted of course. The feet actually looks pale without them and specially on a holiday nails HAS to be painted.

[squoosh]

Painted toes and bare fingernails for me.

Agree wholeheartedly on the evil that is french manicured toes. A million yucks to that.

[Tantpoke]

Painted toes, the brighter the better for me. And with a decent topcoat can last for ages.

I agree, French manicured toes are just wrong. Bleurgh.

[coldflange]

I generally prefer my nails bare - fingers and toes.

However since I did a half marathon earlier in the year my bog toenail is bruised. So have been wearing a hot pink polish to cover it.

[Glamorousglitter]

Painted but not chipped. I bring a varnish to fill in or redo

Bare fingernails (or a clear top coat)

Agree that French manicure looks odd on toes
