I don't like to match to my toes to my fingernails.<br /> I am also not so good about painting my nails because I am washing my hands 800x/day but I enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777876 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:39:44 +0000 kkards 777876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like the colors to work well together. think of it as a top and a bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777842 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 12:56:58 +0000 Raisin 777842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's fine! But I have pretty much the exact same finger and toe nail painting record as you, so maybe I have no right commenting on these things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777818 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:42:14 +0000 Deborah 777818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo I wear polish on my finger nails all the time:). And my toes are always painted in summer but not winter. When both are on show I generally don't like too much of a contrast but last summer I did wear a kind of candy blue on my toes nearly all season (I did not wear it on my finger nails) For the toes I like metallics, black, navy, reds. Really anything goes these days and the wine and deep blue sounds like it would work beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777801 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 09:36:08 +0000 Louise 777801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also rarely paint my nails and when I do it's mostly my toenails as I can barely get fingernail polish to last a day! If fingernails are painted and toes are on show I prefer painted toes too. IMO toes painted without fingers is fine but it looks unfinished the other way round. I'm no expert and my decision is probably only influenced by my beginning statement. I love love love Marley's idea of matching your ring fingers to your toes x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777765 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 07:08:55 +0000 Kari 777765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn't sound weird to me, but then I live in a climate where it's too cold for anyone to see my toes 10 months out of the year. :)<br /> Olive green and deep blue sound like a beautiful combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777753 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:57:52 +0000 Lyn D. 777753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to have my toenails painted, especially in Summer when they are going to be on show. I prefer them a different colour to my fingernails though.<br /> I might give Marleys' suggestion a go next time- very creative! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777751 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:56:54 +0000 Mo 777751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I have exactly 3 nail polishes here, ahem, 2 of them I just bought last month. But it just so happens that 3rd one is a deep blue, so I could do my toes blue! The dress is an olive green, so I think all the colors would play together well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777747 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:41:58 +0000 Marley 777747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think its weird to paint your fingernails and not your toenails, if your toenails are not going to show. But, if they're going to show, I'd put a couple layers of polish on the toes too. If you are going to do your fingers in a deep wine, I'd consider doing the toes in a metallic silver or gold. I think that the pinky lavendar color sounds a little spring/summer to me! If you're not into the metallics for your toes, you could try a navy blue or a deep emerald green, or a dark taupe or gray. Any of those would look great with your wine colored fingernails! (I avoid matching my finger and nail polish - I'm just not a fan of having 20 nails all in the same color!) Another thing I sometimes do - is paint all of my fingernails except my ring fingers the same color, and then paint my ring fingers and my toenails the same color. For example, you could paint your fingernails sans your ring fingers the deep wine and then paint your ring fingers and your toenails metallic gold! Its fun to just let your creative juices flow and play with it a little bit! You can always take it off if you don't like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777746 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:34:28 +0000 Girl X 777746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think that would look silly; no that wouldn't look silly either; yes that would look very nice too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777744 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:19:56 +0000 Mo 777744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristin, yes, I see just toes done more than fingers and somehow it looks okay. I guess I'm worried that the deep red fingers will *really* make the bare toes stand out by contrast. My gut tells me that matching the same color is not a good idea, though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777743 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:16:24 +0000 Kristin L 777743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it would look silly. I'm usually the opposite (my fingernails aren't painted but my toenails are). I'd go with what makes you feel the most comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dumb-question---nail-polish#post-777741 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:07:31 +0000 Mo 777741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admit to painting my nails maybe a dozen times each decade. I'm better with the toes and do them about 4 or 5 times a year. Not a regular, you could say.<br /> My question is, is it weird to have your fingernails painted and not your toes? I am thinking ahead to Thanksgiving and I want to do deep wine fingernails but wonder if my bare toenails will look naked in contrast. (it's FL and I will actually be wearing sandals so people will see my toes). If the answer is yes, that's weird, my next question is - will the same color on both look silly? If yes, (feels like a flow chart lol!) will a pale pinky lavender be fine for the toes?</p> <p> Thanks (blushing sheepishly) </p>
