But I'm thinking it is going to be a roasting hot day, but even at that micro fishnets are rather cool...hmmmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-178089 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 22:10:52 +0000 Kristine 178089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fine! I've worn nude fishnets with peeptoes before, I don't know if that's against the rules. But it lets the toes show with just a little camouflage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-178087 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 22:09:07 +0000 Vix 178087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It turned out great...barely noticeable.

I wouldn't think twice about the tiny Band Aid. It's a great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-178030 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 18:53:55 +0000 Sparky 178030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, there's nothing to see! There's only a peek of the Band Aid in those shoes and your toenails look great with that color. Polished in all senses of the word. Just make sure to take extra bandages to the wedding in case the shoe puts pressure on the toe and makes it hurt or the bandage starts to slip off (that's the mom in me coming out ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-178022 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 18:38:39 +0000 annagybe 178022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lost both by big toenails over the winter due to not fitting my ski boots properly. I now have about 2/3 of the nail. About a month ago when I had maybe only 1/2 a toe nail I said the heck with it and started wearing open toe shoes. Nobody has said anything, I don't think anyone will look too close.<br /> And my toes are definitely not as nice looking as yours are now.</p> <p>Anna </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-178017 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 18:27:58 +0000 Louise 178017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fine to me. I feel your pain with the toenail, I dropped a plate on my big toe and the nail fell off about 10 years ago and it never grew back right, got infected blah blah it now takes a trip to the chiropodist every 2 months to keep it looking presentable! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-178003 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:17:22 +0000 Carole 178003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queenie and Scarlet-thanks for your reassurance. You are right, Queenie, no one will be looking at my feet, they will be looking at the beautiful bride!

[Probably easier with the sheerer vs opaque bandaids.] </p> <p>ps love the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177995 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:46:12 +0000 Carole 177995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sparky-Yes, this is what I'm experimenting with, I just painted my toes and I'm going to put a tiny bandaide at the base, I will post a picture soon, after the polish dries and get your opinion! Thank you for your affirmation that this might be ok! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177994 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:32:25 +0000 Sparky 177994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest just wrapping the toe in either a bandage or some Band Aids if that would feel comfortable to you. That way if people notice your toe in the peep toe all they see is a flesh-colored Band Aid and not a healing infection. And you get to wear those lovely shoes and have happy, comfy feet. It sounds like that's the direction you're going in already. You'll still look so polished ~ that outfit is lovely on you. I remember when you posted about that dress before (unless my memory is playing tricks on me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177993 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:29:26 +0000 Carole 177993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor=thanks for all your help, and the chance to think this through with you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177992 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:28:07 +0000 Carole 177992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vix=Good tip, I might try a little trial run of a nude shade and see what that looks like, unfortunately, you can only see the big and second toe in the shoe! My feet are going to drive me crazy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177990 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:25:38 +0000 taylor 177990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got it . I understand....sounds like painting all your toes the same shimmery shade like Vix suggested. No one is going to notice the base of your toe in your peep toes if they are a light neutral.:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177989 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:20:51 +0000 Carole 177989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor - The top part of the nail is there, but the base by the cuticle is seperated andopen if that makes sense. I'm thinking maybe I could paint what's there and use a little tiny bandaide to hide the base, I think that might work....I might experiment and post a picture.... </p> <p>Steph - I just don't think I could pull of finding another pair of shoes, I really have a difficult time with shoes, but that's a whole new post..surgery is scheduled in October-have never even worn the yellow peeptoes , tear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177987 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:17:39 +0000 Vix 177987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carole --</p> <p>I have a big toenail that got damaged once and seems perpetually problematic since. Like you, I'm hesitant to cover it; I like to have air on and access to it (no acrylics).</p> <p>So: I do a pedicure in a pearly shade that's close to my natural nail color...nothing to draw attention to it or the other 9. I would try that for the event, then take the polish off for your doctor's visit. Then redo if you get the go-ahead. </p> <p>Even if your doc recommends staying away from polish, painting the other 9 in whatever your version of "nude nail: sparkly/pearly variety" will integrate ole Problem Nail better. </p> <p>Of course you could always just say "forget about it!" and do the other 9 in a fun shade...if anyone notices, they can just deal with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177986 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:16:10 +0000 taylor 177986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the nail is still there, cant you just paint the nail...say red or something? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177984 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:11:32 +0000 Steph 177984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have any closed-toed shoes that you really like? With that dress you can do pretty much any color shoe. I'm always partial to red, and I know I have a kelly green shoe that would look amazing with it as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177983 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:10:37 +0000 Carole 177983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor-I thought about painting a french tip toe nail on a band aide-I am artistic! Just kidding...finding shoes for me is such an ordeal-It was a miracle to find those, I'm so sad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177982 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:08:27 +0000 taylor 177982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm, sounds complicated, especially if you had an infection and not quite healed. I guess best to find different shoes perhaps:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177978 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:05:44 +0000 Carole 177978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The old nail is still there, and I thought about doing that, but am so afraid of putting anything chemical on it after everything the poor thing has been through, I have a follow up appointment with the Doctor the next day, so I would have to rip it off or I will be in big trouble... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177976 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:03:36 +0000 taylor 177976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a friend who had the same thing...she was in a wedding and lost her big toenail....they put an acrylic one on.....you couldn't tell the difference!!! If you have any outgrowth they can do it:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peeptoe-dilema-help#post-177968 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:58:23 +0000 Carole 177968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all were so helpful when trying to put together outfits for a couple of upcoming weddings. I was going to wear this next weekend, </p> <p><a href="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss54/cagremillion/DSC03796-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i561.photobucket.com/al.....3796-1.jpg</a></p> <p>but after suffering from a rather serious infection in my big toe, I am losing the nail and it is unsightly to say the least. The worst part is that I had found a fairly comfortable pair of peeptoes that "make" the whole outfit, now I don't know what to do...any suggestions from you lovely smart and clever gals? </p>
