I was fascinated by a woman's toes today - can't believe people do that

French manicures on your toes! Sure, I paint my toenails when it's summer, but I couldn't get over this woman's toenails today. it could also have been the fact that she was wearing shorts, a polo neck, scarf, hat and gloves and high heeled sandals - with no tights obviously

She's ready for anything then! shorts and a scarf - good look for the snow we're forecast.

My friend had a posh pedicure with jewel art on her toes in January. I thought that was very odd. She had to take her socks off to show me. Why pay for that detail when no-one will see it??

It was lovely and would be fab in June!

Well I did feel like saying to her "if you're so bloody cold that you need hat, scarf and gloves then try wearing some warm clothes"

I once did the French manicure on my toes and they looked fab when I had my flip flop type slip ons on but they were hard to do and didn't look so neat close up.

I think french manicure on toes is just the most grotesque thing I've ever seen .. my mother did it once .. yuk

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 05/03/2008 14:03

Oi, I take my mop offer back!!!

Don't worry, I won't be doing them again!

Twiglett · 05/03/2008 14:04

sorry nab .. cross-post

it does look euwww though .. you aren't supposed to have white bits on toenails IMHO

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 05/03/2008 14:06

I do want to do them again but fancy a rich colour not the pale pink I usually do and then you can't even tell they have been done.

I had acrylic nails on my toes last summer (french manicure) and I was very pleased with the result, I am not high maintenance, waggish at all.

I really dislike my feet and thought it made them look a little more bearable.

Not so keen on acrylics on hands but do sometimes. If done properly does not have to look unnatural.

I will have them done again as soon as I am back in my birkenstocks ft. Actually wore them to take kids to school one morning last week - oh the liberation.

citylover · 05/03/2008 14:44

Wore the birkenstocks I meant!

I like it. I think it makes your feet look nice and clean. Hard to do though.
