Just about to go and have my holiday pedicure and fancy a change form my usual dark red. Spent ages looking for inspiration yesterday (how sad am I????), but nothing really grabbed me.

So today's vital question

A lovely orangey red, lovely with a tan

None at the moment. Urgh, hate naked toenails. But pink is supposed to be the most flattering.

Ooh, lou33, is it a revlon one by any chance, called Stone Edge?? They've stopped making it and it was my fave. I'd be delighted to hear that there's an alternative though...

Mine are dark red. Usually pink though.

Will need someone else to paint them soon as the bump gets larger (although I can still see my feet at the moment )

Milk chocolate colour does sound nice.

OMG indeed emod!! Sisters in varnish, eh? I've been vaguely looking for an alternative to that colour for ages, but they all seem to have sparkle in, whereas that stone edge one was opaque/plain and just like milk chocolate. Mmm

yes! it was lovely! with no sparkles! just a lovely opaque colour!

Sisters! Have never met anyone else who wears it. I actually only ran out last year as I bought a job lot from Hammersmith Boots before I moved to Dorset 6 years ago

Paint your nails in the evening, taking it right onto your toes and not worrying about keeping it on the nail. Let them dry, go to bed and in the morning scrub gently with an old toothbrush.

all the varnish comes off your skin and leaves behind a lovely neat nail

If you are rubbish at painting your nails (like me) this is a godsend.
