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.
