What colour should toenails be painted?

[Smurfgirl]

Mine are currently 'mink' which is a browny pink wasn't my choice as a friend did them. Always though that red was the only acceptable choice. Does any colour go? Shuld it match your flip flops/sandals or just be neutral. Please help me in this v.unimportant matter!

rouge noir

Mine are very dark plummy purple atm.

I think red is the best really.

Just redone mine - rouge noir

milk chocolate aka Stone Edge by Revlon. (tis Mumsnet school uniform colour you know )

Oh no, I am going to have to buy it now!!

I like mine to be compatible with what I am wearing, but that normally only happens on a night out. They are currently also "mink" but more of a goldy brown...

I do allsorts whatever the fancy takes me
I love the maybelline water shine range
I do pinks blues purples shiny bronzey browns
I love it!

mine are lilac/silver

red definitely, though probably not growing out and chipped like mine!

Bright Red/Plum/Rouge Noir are the best IMO, hate french pedicure, think it looks a bit tacky

I don't like deep colour nail varnish, so tend to go for light colours

Agree that french manicure looks odd on toes, but don't like it on hands either

depends on your skin colour really.

My feet are v v pale, so I go for rouge noir or bright red generally. Atm I've got Boots 17 Chilli Pepper on, which is a bright orangey-red so a bit more summery. If I had a tan I would prob go for something shimmery.

Mine are a dark shimmery browny/red. Boots 17 Amaretto - cheap but lasts better than a more expensive one I sometimes use. My feet are very tanned as I rarely wear shoes, hence the need for a dark colour - it hides the dirt.

i had a lovely pedicure done yest with a french manicure on them. they look v nice and i have had lots of comments today

Oooh picking a new toenail colour and doing yourself a pedicure every so often is one of the delights of the summer.

I like lovely muted pinks, and dark pinky reds, and kind of champagne/creamy beige colours can look very polished and classy on toes. Also have a sparkly orange one that I love. Anything goes for toes! Put a layer of clear on top once it's dried for really glossy stained-glass look.

bronze to look golden and sunny with the weather

Depends on your colouring. I have quite pale (celtic) colouring so on me I like darker colours. I think if you have darker colouring you can get away with more beige/bronze colours. Also, as your toes aren't on display as much as your hands, why not go for blue, gold, silver - I'm actually quite likeing RubyRioja's suggestion!

I've got a gold bronze on and I looove it, I have every colour you could imagine though as I bore very easily.

Never wear it on my fingers though, find it chips far too easily and looks grubby the next day!!!
