paint your toenails?I know, what a question LOL But I was bored and found my daughter's blue nail polish.... yeah, you get the idea, my toenails are now a nice shade of blue. I actually like it so I'm going to leave it:) Anyway, back to the topic.... do you ladies paint your toenails on a regular basis? Or do you do it only during summer, when we tend to wear open shoes? Or you don't paint them at all?

I never paint my toe nails or fingernails i dont know what my nails have in them but they dont keep polish on them i can paint it on and in 5 minutes it just flakes off or peals right off. I even had tips done when i was younger and they never stayed more then a day so i was spending alot of money on the fixing then i was enjoying the wearing. But my girls are 6 and almost 4 and they have aunts and cousins and my friends wear it and their kids wear it so i get to paint there toenails and fingernails for them and they like to have it done whenever it dont matter if it is summer or winter. My 3 year old calls then finger colors it is sooooooo cute.

to me, my nails are like drawing sheets where i can do anything i want , whenever i want, colour it with countless layers...on hands as well as toes lol! but i am able to take this liberty only during my school holidays as i would fined if i do that and go to school. as it is my principle is quite irritated with me....in fact she is irritated with everyone...u know principles are naturally irritated souls. i am also fascinated by nail arts, and would like to learn it, so that i can make better designs on my nails....because at present only i am the one who likes the designs. my mom says its awful and my friends say im nuts.lol!

Hi arkaf! I do paint my toe nails on a regular basis. Every two weeks to be exact. I always use red nail polish or just have it french tipped. Anyway, I bought a new nail polish yesterday which is fluorescent pink and I'm excited to see it on my nails. LOL.

I like my toenails painted, but I don't worry about them until Summer when I wear sandals. I think they look pretty in the summer with sandals on with them painted.

I do from time to time, year around. Usually in the winter it is because I have some polish I would really like to use up, and that is a great way to do it. Come to think of it, though, I have this bottle of chrome nail polish that was speaking to me the other day. It ways saying "Paint your toes, paint your toes", so I may retire early and do just that. I do not wear sandals that much, but it would be fun to look down to shiny silvery toenails. I bet your blue nails look awesome at the beach.

I prefer to keep them painted. I prefer the color light pink. However as a teen I loved dark blue, dark purple or black. I dont know why but I did. So yeah I prefer it to be painted.

I am more traditional with the colors for my hands, but in my feet I love to experiment with all kinds of colors :)

i seldom paint it, only on special ocassions where i have to wear beautiful high heeled shoes. i also color it if i want to experiment on a certain color and how it would look when combined to a dress. i like my nails the way it is. i also prefer it without polish because i can see it clearer when there are dirts inserted in the nails.

I Understand. I like to experiment, to look down and see some pretty color. And I do have my toenails paited usually during the summer, during the winter not that much.

Right now my nails are a nice rosey shade of pink and my toenails are a glittery pink. I did both mine and my granddaughters with the glittery pink on Saturday. She loves it. I do my toenails often, not just in the summer.

Hi, I only paint my toenails in the summer. Last week they were purple and today they are pink. I like to change the color about once every week or two.

I haven't painted my toenails in years! I used to fairly regularly, but I haven't worn open-toed shoes on a regular basis in quite a while. If I wore sandals more often I'd probably go back to painting them, but as it stands right now, I don't paint them at all.

It makes sense. During the winter when my feet are always covered with some warm socks and closed shoes I don't do it either.

yea. I love painting my toenails and my fingernails as well. I usually do it with my friends. I'll ask my friend to paint my nails and she'd do the same thing to me as well. We always do this every month while having a chat and sawping over gossips

I do during the summer time pretty much, but I like to get them done professionaly. I also do them if I am going to have a "romantic night" *wink* I love french manicures but sometimes I spice it up and add some funky color! -Lora

hello lora. i love french tips, too. however since i only do it myself, it's difficult to make it really right. so, i go for plain colors and no french tipping. i had it done professionally many times and i just took their techniques on how they do it. and now, i can fix it on my own. hehe.

I like to have my toenails painted all over the year. I like the way they look painted. In the summer I choose red, light, warm pink or creamy colours to cover my toenails, because such colors suit me and look good. In the winter I also paint my toenails, but I use more often crazy colours like violet or so:)

Yes, I do. I always keep my toes painted. I find that they look better painted. I paint them all sorts of color, but my favorite color to paint them is this pretty brown made by N.Y.C. I keep them painted on a regular basis. Since its time for open shoe season I need to get my heels of my feets right.

I try to keep them painted. With an infant and job it can be kind of hard. I don't paint them every morning to match my outfit like my sister does. I like to keep them looking nice though.

I do that only in summer when I'm at the sea or when I wear open shoes. I couls use all different color like you blue is the best but I like purple, too. I usually polish my nails because hands are more visible than toes :) and I loke to have them polished even with different colors. Once I had all different shades of blue ot one black and one white or even just plain transparent. I used to bite my nails and I found that I stopped putting on polish so I became a polish-freak but only for nails. Of course if I have open shows the color matches the one I have on my nails.
