French Polish on toenails yuck or not?

Sat next to a woman today who appeared to have gel french polished toenails. I noticed them because they were so shiny in a 'these aren't real kind of way'.
Glanced down at own pink painted tootsies and they looked quite plain in comparison but I couldn't help thinking she looked as though her toenails were overdue a good cut.
Am attracted to the shiny but not the Howard Hughes look

eeeeeeeuw!!!

I've always thought that french polished fingernails were yuck but french polished toenails were sort of okay. So I had mine done. Basically the whole process is totally yuck. And getting the gunk off is next to impossible without ruining your nails. Oh and I've decided that french polished toenails are yuck.

Yuck, long toenails make me shudder, eeoooouuuuggghh!

Carmenere · 24/08/2007 20:08

YUK

lulumama · 24/08/2007 20:08

there is a differnece between gel overlays and just nail polish, which is what i have

madmarchhare · 24/08/2007 20:11

Oh no, I dont like long [barf]

Coloured gel would be good, no? Just file at the bottom and redo colour - they would last and look good for ages.

French polish Yuk. Sandy/pink/goldy brown natural and short. Just right for me. But whats the point in this rain New sandals not even worn. Look for boots now that fit my chubby calfs.

yuck, especially if the toenails are long [nauseous emoticon].

Red or hot pink look fab. But even blues and greens are better than a french polish.

Horrible (sorry lulumama - I'm sure yours are very tastefully done )

ipanemagirl · 26/08/2007 21:27

LOL GROSS GROSS!

Naff

OMG that is insane.

Why???? Why would you want to do this?

dogbert · 26/08/2007 21:52

lulu - you must have very clean feet to get away with that. I spend way too much time barefoot in the garden or wearing 'orrible gardening boots to do anything but paint my grubby toenails with Rouge Noir!

I really don't like french polish on toe nails. To my mind if your toe nails are long enough for a french polish, they are too long and need cutting.

Urgh! They're a bit Victoria Beckham for my liking.
