Whats your opinion on this? Now I like painting my toenails and find colored nails to be pretty, but I also believe toenails should be clean and short. Definatly no where near long enough to have a french done on them. And fake toenails even! Ewww, tbh. Will this be next springs fashion?

I always have my tootsies painted, I've done a french manicure a few times but I dont have long nails, I just paint the white bit on the nail as it is.
That doesnt make sense does it? Ach I know what I mean
Ewww. Not on my feet it won't be.
I don't paint my nails but then I hardly ever wear open toed shoes.
Im going for that *just dropped a brick on them* look.
luckily, my huosemate has her own nail business and i get it all for free!
personally toenails just need to be kept trimmed and clean for me - i can't do anything fancy with them because they'd probably break from my ballet shoes
Now that I agree with :yes: Plus, wouldn't long nails just be a hazzard to your socks? And tbh, socks, for what they are, aren't that cheap
i find that really strange
You'd hate my feet. My toenails are clean, short and au natural and thats the way i like them
Actually, i find painted toenails quite ugly, but im not repulsed by them or anything, unless they are painted badly or shipping off and looking horrid :yuck:
eta: you non toenail painted haters- do you feel the same about non painted fingernails?
Obviously if you have a nail infection (like my aunt whos had thick yellow toenails for as long as i can remember and doesnt seem to notice) or the nails are all cracked and in a bad state then its a bit gross. My mum bought a nail buffing kit from america and i think trimmed, buffed nails look alot better than painted nails. They look healthier too.
Plus painting them all the time can turn them yellow.
In the summer though, I am partial to a french manicure. I always match my finger nails to my toe nails.
And for all you toe-painter-haters, how short do you cut your toenails!?!? If you can't see at least 1mm of nail tip, then you're definitely not cutting your nails right :chin: 1mm of nail tip is more than enough to paint a french manicure onto. :yes:
fimger nails dont bother me in the slightest.
where i come from, there's an unwrittend rule that says girls with open toes have to paint their nails.

and the big toes are weird shape....but thats not her fault so i shall let her off!
To the quick, which probably is a little too short, but it's cause I've got an irrational hatred of long toenails.
I also have an irrational hatred of painted toenails though, unless it's clear stuff or natural pinks. I'm also a clean, short and natural type. And other than my big toe, my toenails are all so tiny it's pretty hard to paint them without them looking ridiculous, so even if I wanted them painted, I'd have a right job doing it. Life's too short.
