Or is that a faux pas? Matching polish ladies yay or nay?

I never bother...no idea if there is a right/wrong on this one.

MrsRogerSterling · 02/07/2012 13:16

No, I wouldn't but them I dislike anything to matchy.

woopsidaisy · 02/07/2012 13:18

I personally don't like matchy matchy stuff. I do a "discreet" french manicure on toes, just a fine white line as opposed to thick one.
And a colour on my hands. Re-do toes every ten days, hands twice a week.

I mean whilst both feet and hands will be on show -normally my toenails are pretty scabby to be honest but we are away on holiday shortly and obviously I will be perfectly groomed and glam looking Smile
(I'll actually have frizzy hair be sweaty and be covered in sand)

Yes I think I prefer non matching but a comment my friend made the other day whilst speaking about her nails (we are very interesting people! ) made me think maybe I was away to commit a holiday fashion nono!

Yay if you're wearing colours on both unless they are colours that either compliment or contrast in a good way. So vamp reds are a yay, but vamp read with a pearly pink is a nay.

Plain or tasteful French manicure can be mixed as required.

I dont care if its a no no, i couldnt imagine not wearing the same colour on my toes and hands. Id feel really odd with diff colours.

valiumredhead · 02/07/2012 15:16

Both if it's a dark polish.

Or nude finger nails and dark/bright tow nails.

valiumredhead · 02/07/2012 15:16

toe fecking auto correct

fedupofnamechanging · 02/07/2012 17:40

I think the same on both if you are wearing a strong colour, but I always have coloured toe nails and clear/French manicure on my finger nails.

sedgieloo · 02/07/2012 18:37

I say its a nay

littlepie · 02/07/2012 20:55

Must be matching if a colour on fingers. Can go colour on toes & french on fingers. Anything else just looks awful to me.

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 02/07/2012 20:58

Yeah.

colour on fingers & neutral on toes - fine

neutral on fingers & colour on toes - fine

same colour on fingers & toes - fine

owt else - regrettable
