HORNED HOOFERS 2010

[SuSylvester]

ok as the summer seaons approaces, look at your wizened hobbit like hooves.

are they silky smooth with no cracked heels or discoloured toe nails? have you lumps and bumps on your to joints?
ITs time to sort it out you scummy lot.

Yes I worry about going to a chiropodist for fear of an Olivia experience.

BUT had a facial the other week and they said "we could do you a pedicure at the same time". I said "oooh nooo, I'm embarrassed about the state of my feet"

"Yes, I see what you mean" came the reply from the bottom of the chair.

squeaver - PMSL!

You should have let them get on with it then they would have been an embarrassment no longer!

squeaver, you are in North London I think (stalker emoticon needed...)

This place gets a big rec and is a cheapy:

The Nail Bar, 315 Archway Road, Highgate, London, N6 5AA
Tel: 020 8341 0293

from LibertyLondonGirl on her blog. I don't really trust facially type places for tool wielding plus they rack the prices up generally.

thanks to pedegg and scholl cream mine are quite nice at the moment, with No7 damson dream on them

oh Tocca - thanks. That's such a funny little place, I've never been in, but that's a good blog so will check it out - and report back.

I think they're Korean in there - you know like all the good NY nail people are...

I started wielding the pumice and flexitol last week as my feet were looking very grim. If you do it everyday for a week you will have lovely soft feet then carry on maintaining it about 1-2 times a week.

What colour nail polish are people using? I've been using the same colours for the past few years and I'm bored of them.

my feet are awful just now. Lots of white lines criss-crossing my soles like an A-Z, sort of softly cracked.

Have foot-filed but need to seriously slather with cream

clingfilm and socks. Hmmm. I could do that

is flexitol a cream?

Yes, you can buy it in Boots.

If you get hot in bed, don't do the cream and socks thing, it makes you v v hot.

Yes flexitol is a cream Pointy. You can get it in most chemists. The whole horned hooves thing must be a nationwide concern as there is a lot of shelf space in out Boots dedicated to manky feet.

keh. will try

Might try pumice - sounds reassuringly old-fashioned and non-invasive. TBH anything advertised by JML makes me shudder, apart from those tumble dryer balls.

Moondog - I have trawled high (end) and low (end) searching for a cafe creme polish for the last two summers, and have not found one yet. Not beige, not pale pink, just a lovely pale iced coffee shade. Shout if you track one down!

I need to join

have got no futher than vaseline and socks once a week but need to grate

How much is a chiropodist visit then? I have a brthday coming up and my feet are pure evil looking. Horrible dry skin, and walking on the beach doesn't make any difference.

I do have a ped egg thing but am always scared it will shave too much off and I wil have to hobble to a and e with bleeding feet having removing all my skin....

Right.

Have exfoliated, moisturised and covered feet in clingfilm (it's rather odd walking around after this stage ...)

Just need to decide on which colour to paint my BEEyooooTiful tootsies

My toenails are beyond all of you. Either psoriasis or selling my soul to the devil have turned them into pointy talons.

Pretty, ain't I?

(oh goody a nail polish thread I need something to take my mind off plumbing crisis in my house right now)

I use Body shop body butter and thick socks for a few days then a nail file. Mine aren't too bad though. Got some Barry M purple stuff on just now

omg we are a sensation

What colour is everyone wearing this year then?

whatever i darend well choose.
( or , correction, whayever ds3 chooses from collection, he says " if you wear this , mummy you will be saying " i am cool and youngg "")

I've never worn toe-nail varnish - mainly because my hooves are so awful I don't want to draw attention to them. My sister however paints hers a different colour every week in the summer, and co-ordinates her clothes to go with them!

I have a metallic blue atm, it was either that or a weird goldybeige colour that looks a bit liek athletes foot. Christ knows what it is doing in my drawer

well i'm gazing at myfeet and theya re FINE

or am I missing something?

jjust pink skin!

Found my deep moisturising cream, have slathered feet and ensconced in socks. Ready for foot beauty sleep now!
