Fun Toenail Polish

Quinny — Sat, 21 May 2016 21:06:11 GMT

Has anyone purchased or tried a fun new nail polish for toes this Spring. I know in some areas it is not quite sandal weather, but I usually buy a couple of bottles to get ready for the first day the sandals go on my feet.

Any recommendations on some new or tried and true favorite colors? Have a great weekend!

Hi Young Jude,

Last night I alternated painting my toes red, white and blue for the holiday next week.

I like fun colors on others. I always chicken out. I tried blue last summer and actually liked it. Had my toes done two weeks ago and went with my old stay by, red.

I've been wearing sandals since early March. So far I've have blue, red with glitter, purple and now I have peach daiquiri.

I usually wear Lincoln Park After Dark on my toes, last summer I discovered that a true Turquoise looks amazing on toes in the summer. Especially nice against a tan!

I'm wearing OPI STRAWBERRY MARGARITA. Tomorrow I will do something patriotic for the holiday.

I so agree! I love black, green, blue fun designs on others. I really do. I have bought those colors to do mine, then for some darn reason I go back to Just Walk Away Rene, a deep crimson red. Deep sigh.

Not so much colors as this time of year I start getting pedicures. I take my two teenage granddaughters and we have fun getting them.

The place I go to has one particular manicurist I've known for years. She actually paints pictures on my big toes. I usually have her paint flowers and designs on each big toe.

Her brush only has two bristles on it. She's so careful, it's beautiful and lasts until I remove the polish. Everyone comments on how beautiful it looks. They are hand painted and not done with stickers, etc.

This coming week I'll start it. Haven't been in a hurry because here in Va we've had nothing but rain and too cool for sandals.

I always go for pale pink, white, or nothing. Just can't bring myself to paint them the lavender color on my nails.

After the manicurist polished my toenails iridescent blue, she said, " Welcome to 2016". A little hint that I have been a bit old fashioned. So funny.

My absolute favorite is Haute as Hello by Essie. I just bought a new bottle last week. It's a very pretty, bright coral. I'll need to look the names up but I also love bright pinks. Pastels are a staple, too. I really haven't looked at the new polishes (which is very unusual for me). I've just had a lot going on.

Oh I always paint my toenails wild colors! I love doing them in very colorful sparkles but that polish is so hard to remove! But its fun nonetheless!

@ID2 I switched to Zoya polish remover and it makes taking off polish, even with glitter, so much easier and faster than typical remover. To me, it's worth the extra cost.

I always liked new and different colors, but thought I should stay clear of them since I always polish my finger nails in a rather subdued color. My daughter always told me I look like I was an "old lady"...I guess referring to my grandmother, who, until she passed last year at 100 years old, had a weekly pedicure with nude polish.

Last summer, I fell and gave myself a significant back injury. For a month and a half I couldn't even ride in the car, only painfully to my PT appointments. My sweet daughter drove 70 miles every two weeks to give me manicures and pedicures. She said she got to choose the toenail colors SHE wanted. I had everything from NEON orange to navy, light blue and lavendar. I loved them all!! I developed a particularly affinity for the lavendar and have since found several colors within that color group I really like.

I pretty much stick with neutral light colors on my fingernails, but go with wild colors on my toenails. Since I type pretty much all day long at work, at least with ligher colors on my fingernails, it is not as noticeable when it start to chip........which is usually only a couple days after I have them done because of all my typing! LOL

Beauty Secrets pink sold at Sally Beauty Supply will take that polish right off. If it's a really tough glitter polish, you can unroll a cotton ball, pinch off a chunk, dip in remover (just the edge, it will soak up in the cotton) and place it on nails for a minute or so. For the big glitter, you may have to do that twice.

You don't need foil or anything like that, just make sure you have a large enough size to cover the nail with cotton, well saturated but not dripping. I always use an old towel beacuse I do get a little extra on it sometimes. Watch this video to get an idea of what I'm talking about. For glitter use a lot more cotton than she does and leave it on longer.

Sally has a sale on all sizes of Beauty Secrets removers during the year, but it doesn't cost very much anyway. I just buy an extra bottle when I do see it on sale.

@Quinny it's great to go a little outside your comfort zone. If you don't like something, you don't have to use it again. But you just might find and love something you wouldn't have otherwise come across.

Lavender is another go-to for me. My favorites have blue or red shimmer, and I especially love the gray-ish toned lavender.
