What colour should I paint my toe nails? I don't want to but feel I ought to.

[Moosma]

I never paint my toe nails but now feel I ought to (being a grown up and all) but I have no idea what colour to do. What's the least offensive, easy to maintain, hardwearing colour?

a very pale pink or a clear one with glittery bits in

I'm a bit scared of very pale pink, I can't imagine I'd pick the right one. Can you link to a shade? [useless emoticon]

are you fairer or darker?

I am horribly pale, and find [http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/invt/0239039 this]] is working ok - it's a stronger colour than the name suggests.

this

there's a v nice Bourjois one - will link if I can find it

pale pink is ok if youa re tanneed or in a hot climate

doesnt go to well with corned beef toes

i like pillar box red on toes but it has to be chip free and immaculate

Rimmel do a gold coloured polish that dries in 60 seconds - so not much faffing about. It's not a bright in-your-face bling gold colour. I've had mine on for 2 or 3 weeks and although it's beginnning to grow out, it's not that noticeable, not like a bright red or pink would be. It hasn't chipped either.

Have Rouge Noir on mine - am very old fashioned - just like it.

I always go dark red, browny, plummy tones. Hides the dirt a treat.

I think if you have yellow and sallow skin like mine you need something a bit orangey or salmony...

And not navy or yellow

chanel do a nice one called fire

rimmel lycra wear good if on a smaller budget

but the rimmel red one is horrid

cyanosed toes not a good look

lol at megha - if my bump wasn't so big that I'm having to 'speed paint' toenails at the moment I'd have the Rouge Noir on for the exact same purposes.

So what colour then for pale, yellowish skin, dark hair with orangey tones, but really looking just poorly milk bottle white and Irish most of the time...?

I am pasty and blond, but scrubby rather than Swedish blond. I do go brown, but very slowly and my feet are always last to tan.

I don't want anything that people will notice in a 'oooh, what a nice colour' sort of way, more just if they happen to look at my feet I don't want them to think 'eek scabby nails, she should've painted them'

i remember being 9 mths pg and in early labour and tyring to paint toenails

nearly passing out doing it. going purple in face trying to reach over bump

think i wore chanel fire for both labours

Agree not yellow - has a nicotine-stained air about it.
