Ooh - I love Brilliance Cod. Was lucky enough to go to Jessica's own salon in Hollywood a couple of years ago and my bottle is still lasting me from then.
Unknownrebelbang - if you are not bothered - don't worry but if toenail falls off can take upto 6 months to grow back. If you want to go barefoot/sandals and disguise it just wear false toenails. Easy peasy glue on pedicure, french polish ready done, last for 7-10 days or you can take them off sooner. Nailene Perfect Toes or Fing'rs Dazzle toes (Asda, Boots, Superdrug)

What is the bacon rind effect on heels?

[baffled]

I have never suffered this affliction and want to point and laugh am intriged.

Slubberdegullion · 01/06/2008 13:20

A sort of creamy yellow hardening of the heel skin WT.

WanderingTrolley · 01/06/2008 13:22

WanderingTrolley · 01/06/2008 13:23

When I have my legs waxed, the lady always whips off the 4 hairs growing out of my big toes. She never asks if this is OK, which I think is a bit of a nerve (and possibly crosses into assault/lack of informed consent grey area).

WanderingTrolley · 01/06/2008 13:33

Of what will you be accusing her, Slubber, theft?

Toes are not legs, so you could also have her done under the trades description act.

  1. Crivens, no!
NomDePlume · 01/06/2008 13:36

lollollol ' slubber

Slubberdegullion · 01/06/2008 13:36

I would imagine trade descrition would carry more weight than theft (what would one do with 8 toe hairs stuck to a wax strip anyway?)

I do give her a hard levitation/cat bum moth look when she does it, but she doesn't seem to have got the hint yet.

Slubberdegullion · 01/06/2008 13:38

that would be cat bum mouth.

The cat bum moth is very rare and virtually priceless and I'm not giving mine to anybody. Oh No.

I have been very lucky in that I had a week's trip with dh to Chicago. Whilst he worked I "spa'd". For once i(in a very long time) I am "groomed". Manicure, pedicure, facial, micro-dermabrasion, waxing, spray tan, eyebrows tinted and shaped, lashes tinted. Am surprised the children recognised me when I got home!

maybelline bright red, needs redoing

sherby · 01/06/2008 13:54

looks fabby and dries really quick

missblythe · 01/06/2008 13:54

Hmm, did toes after a bit too much wine watching I'd Do Anything last night.

On closer inspection seem to have been painting large amout of toe, not just nail.

Time to find a cotton bud and the remover, I think.

'tis a nice bright Mac pink though.

onlygirl · 01/06/2008 13:57

where do you get flexitol from? can you get it from boots???

noddyholder · 01/06/2008 14:00

Mine are trimmed polished and not bacon rindy at all but i do like picking at them so should probably run from this thread in shame

sherbetdipdab · 01/06/2008 14:01

Even though my feet are so swollen they resemble pigs trotters (6 months pregnant, another 3 months of hiding my legs to go!) they are buffed and painted (with base and top coat) with lovely Dior bright pink.
Cod, do you do your toe cuticles?

andiem · 01/06/2008 14:01

am very smug as my toes have gel on so my pedicure is immaculate even after a week of hols

JackieNo · 01/06/2008 17:54

Um,

  1. coudl i do ebtter - maybe
  2. are my toenails LONGEr than my toe - no, beautifully trimmed
  3. is the varnish chipped OR NON existnet? - non-existent, but that's better than chipped, imo
  4. do i haev a BACON RIND effect on my heels? - nope - was at Scholl the other day, so lovely and smooth
  5. are the heels all cracked and cack? I refer the honorable lady to my previous answer.

I never get round to painting toenails. Not sure why.

BoyzntheShire · 01/06/2008 18:08
