Nail polish question

Do you match your toe & fingernail colors? Also - anyone tried the fake toenails? I can't believe how many varieties they are. With my aging grooved nails, these are looking pretty tempting.

My fingernails are such a mess from all the recent garden work, that I'm resorting to glue on nails for the graduation festivities. I finally found some that are "flat" and fit my nails better than the usual cupped varieties. When they begin to grow out, I just soak them off.

Can you tell I'm having a ME day and just refusing to do any real work? Actually, I did wipe down the bathrooms & dust earlier, but am switching hats after lunch.

Boy, you are ahead of me. I had no idea you could get fake toenails!


I've never tried fake fingernails. I play the piano and keep my nails cut really short. I can't stand to hear them clink on the keys. Gail

Nope don't match my toes with my nails. I have tried the fake toenails. I have horrible toenails, (just the big ones). I did the french ones. They were fine as long as I wore sandles

No, I don't match my fingernails and toenails either. I've been doing French on my fingers and will do a bright color on my toes IF the weather ever gets nice enough for sandals here.

I've never seen fake toenails. Good luck with that.

Hi Jacquie! It has been ages since I painted my nails or my toes. I could never find a polish that lasted long enough.


Sounds like you had fun though.


Hugs, Jackie

I hardly ever take time to paint my fingernails.

Fake toenails, what will they think of next?
