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

ooo..i haven't painted my nails for years..he he..maybe too lazy!?
but this thread has inspired me to..

tbh i hate painted fingernails, but toes are good!
Just having a look through all the bottles I have gotten as gifts and trying to decide...

Mine are electric blue which is my favourite but I sometimes go purple too, very occasionally very dark pink but not really into 'conventional' colours like pink and red.

Listmaker · 11/07/2005 14:59

I agree babyonboard I never do finger nails but I LOVE painted toe nails - especially my electric blue ones.............mmmmmm! God I'm sad and maybe a bit too old for this..............!!

I am also a milk choc toe nail varnish fan !! I managed to get some bottles of the revlon one, at a wholesalers hair & beauty place on green lanes Palmers green way London. I tried for ageeeees to find that sort of matt coffee colour and as you all said they had all gone glittery .Mac used to do one as will vv simialr but ALSO discontinued it!! TYPICAL!!!

babyonboard · 11/07/2005 15:04

Angora, chanel...very nice but my feet aren't!

JonesTheSteam · 11/07/2005 15:12

Mine are very pale pink at the mo (think it's a Rimmel one called Sugar Icing) 'cos I wore a pale pink dress to a wedding on the weekend.

Usually gold or bronze coloured - but am often too lazy to put on a plain undercoat and end up with yellowy toe-nails!!!!!!!! YUK!!!!

babyonboard · 11/07/2005 15:20

I am just geting over yellow toenails after using fake tan a couple of months ago and not paying enough attention, they went through fetching shades of orange through to yellow...how attractive!
maybe then i should have considered varnish! he he

TrophyWife · 11/07/2005 15:20

"rock star" by Rimmel atm, it metalic red and looks really nice.

like the sound of the milk chocolate colour too, might order some now........

NomDePlume · 11/07/2005 16:01

Bright, bold, slutty red

Nbg · 11/07/2005 16:03

Mines called South Beach by No.7. It's a coraly, pinky, oystery sort of colour.

ninah · 11/07/2005 16:04

gold

MrsDoolittle · 11/07/2005 16:05

I have a Chanel dark brown colour called pulsion.
Very like the one suggested by wickedwaterwich

NomDePlume · 11/07/2005 16:06

mine need doing again, although it has lasted well. Had a 2 coat covering on for a week now and they're only just starting to chip. I really rate the Tesco Barbara Daly Make Up nail varnishes.

TinyGang · 11/07/2005 16:10

Just had to show you mine
