What colour to disguise toenails?

I want to make my toenails look nice, rather than draw attention to them. One big toe nail is discoloured. The other is broken, and I can't really do anything about the shape until the break grows out. I'm also not the best at applying nail varnish, so don't want to highlight my goofs.

Maybe I want an opaque neutral? Does such a thing exist?

I have similar toenail issues - I've just bought some fake ones to try (haven't arrived yet). Not sure how they'll go but they'll definitely be better to look at than currently!

Just paint them nude. Or better still do to a nail salon and get nude gels.

Nude, but you may need a few coats :-)

When I paint my toenails I don’t worry too much about keeping it neat. I leave it all to dry really well and then scrub off the bits on the skin with a nail brush when I’m in the shower.

I’d say a dark nude / brownish pink

Go to a salon and get gel varnish. They can probably extend the shape of the broken one so it matches

Nude is a much better description than the "light pinky brown" or "dark pinky beige" I was going to describe!!!
So, yes. Nude. Then they are shiny hut skin coloured.
