Natural but glam toe polish?

Is there such a thing?

I was going to paint my toes red or blue but then I know that I will not feel comfortable with it when I have my feet out. I was checking out some flip flops on line and noticed the lovely models feet with skin toned polish, shiny and noticeable but also very understated.

Can anyone recommend a good natural (not clear) polish for toes?

I like OPI. They do a very subtle pink called Bubble Bath which someone has on their toes here:

Or they have a whole SoftShades collection

It depends on what you have in mind really. If you want a non-pink neutral then Samoan Sand is nice. Or if you want glam but not OTT then Princesses Rule is a very shimmery/glittery soft pink.

Chanel Organdie is my favourite neutral at the moment. I was put off buying Chanel polish years ago as it chipped as soon as you glanced in its general direction! I was bought this as a gift though and have been impressed with the new formulation - it lasts a full week on my fingernails despite me being useless at applying it.

Avon have a nail product called Pearl Shine, it's not a nail polish as such - it dries instantly & is much much sheerer. It just looks like a really healthy nail with a bit of a pink sheen to it. They do a few other colours, a peach, lavender & bronze, I think.

I think these OPI ones could work for you. If you want something sheer then maybe go for Samoan Sand, if you want something with a creme finish so that you can't see the white tips through the polish then Feeling Frisch looks good.

*Frisco not Frisch (autocorrect!)

I like nudes, French or a pale gold on my feet, a pale pink will look nice too x

Maybelline Colour Show in Sugar Crystals, if it's still available, is very good, and cheap too. Lasts well over a base coat and is very subtly sparkling on a sheer pale pink translucent colour.

Thank you. I like the look of the Feeling Frisco. My nails are not very nice after a lifetime of running so I can't do sheer.

Miss Joanie. I actually do have that Chanel nail varnish. It was one of those purchases where I come away from a shopping trip with nothing and the Chanel counter is on the way to my car. I haven't used it yet, but will be giving it a try.
