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?

That is dark. Quite like the Shanghai (in a dullard sort of way).

I think something pale would be a good idea as I don't want to draw attention to my slightly odd shaped nails

a nude colour can be suurprisingly nice

try it

Ooh, I like Vamp

ooh i like that 'Madness' one - I seem to be wearing a Boots one very similar to that by complete accident!

I am wearing a kind of metallic teal. It is lovely, it is!!

I usually play safe with 'Nude' colours, but they just look a bit boring tbh.

I don't like french pedicures (or whatever they are called) as they look like monkey-hands or something.

I have, however, heard about gel nails for toes, that are practically invincible so stay shiny and chip-free for ages...

monkey hands?

well...fingerish toes, then!

Vamp is Rouge Noir in the US

I eaither wear

red
khaki
brown
dark - alomost black purpley like colour (is nicer than sounds)
french manicure

I am very pale skinned.

I never wear a colour on my fingers though. always either a (good) french manicure or just a nail brightener

I agree with whoever suggested rouge noir. It's esp good if you're a little pale - a bit Dita von Teese.

anyone got any tips for someone with rather dark pink around the edges feet (not unlike a pigeon) orangey things clash horribly. usually I go for a dark crimson but fancy a change

orange

madness not at all grey or blue. it is a rich winey red with quite a lot of brown in it.

sort of the colour of a very old claret (do I win the poncetastic award of the day?)

i think that's laahvley. and with a tan...mmm.

i always think RED for toenails.

that colour bears NO NO NO resemblance to the real thing
look at the link I posted, that is much closer
that site is whacko

PPH - I'd have given you a poncetastic bonus point if you'd said Lafite-Rothschild.

What colour for horrible, horrible toes with a fungal infection (you know the thick yellowing kind) ? Any suggestions to overcome that problem?

millie you dont need nail varnish

you need a 6 mth course of griseofulvin for that

I normally do a chanel or revlon deep red today I am wearing a coral no 990

Can't take anything at the momoment Nailpolish as I'm about to pop and then plan to b'feed to so won't be able to take anything for ages, touch wood . That's why I do need nail varnish to disguise them!!
