You have them on your fingers to make your nails look neat, long and white - why would you have them on your toes - I look and think - 'God you need to cut your toenails!' But it seems all the rage at the moment and lots of the ladies at the school have them am I completely out of touch or are the not as yucky as I think.

totally agree, Twinkie1. In fact I think I may have posted to this effect on a thread called something like 'trends you have never done'.

The first time I saw it, I thought it was a joke. I still haven't changed my mind.

I like french manicure.
Don't like french pedicure.
I prefer pink or red on feet.
Plus it depends on how good/ what colour the french'ie is.
Some are very yellow, or even worse bright white. Both look plastic and nasty.
But when I see a good french manicure, oh there is nothing more beautiful.

err, oblomov, I think you need to get out more
