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

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?

french manicure is a safe bet

nailpolish · 12/05/2008 16:27

what about this?

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 12/05/2008 16:30

Ooh no, don't like French manicure on feet. It just looks odd.

moosma - pale gold, apricot or mid-pink. Red s'OK but higher maintenance.

nailpolish · 12/05/2008 16:30

WilfSell · 12/05/2008 16:30

I don't like French manicure on toes.
What is wrong with blue though? Is plum/purple ok?
I currently have a sort of fuschia pink. This is prob dated too though....

CocodeBear · 12/05/2008 16:31

or this?

WilfSell · 12/05/2008 16:32

i just associate anything French manicurey, especially with squared off ends, in fingers or toes, as a bit Page 3 modelish. Which is I guess just another way of saying I don't like it.

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 12/05/2008 16:32

VP - fuschia very hot this year.

VanillaPumpkin · 12/05/2008 16:32

Oooh no. Look the Cod has the same colour polish on as me .

there is an excellent new chanel colour called (appropriately enough in my case) "Madness". Dark red. I'll see if I can find a link

VanillaPumpkin · 12/05/2008 16:33

Thanks Duchess. I have almost fallen over in shock. It is a complete accident and was obv the wrong colour for the past three years I have worn it

nailpolish · 12/05/2008 16:33

god no not blue i said

Moosma · 12/05/2008 16:34

Coco, I like both of those but they both look a bit teenagery to me.

here you have to click on the colour to see it, it isn't the one illustrated

PrincessPeaHead · 12/05/2008 16:34

it is slightly chocolatey
fantastic for toes

CocodeBear · 12/05/2008 16:36

Has anyone said Chanel rouge noir? That's always a sophisclassic choice.
