So we are here at the beach...gearing up for our cocktail/beer weekend with friends.  My very pregnant (due in 2 days) daughter says to me yesterday "are you going to the beach with those feet?"  Um ok it is not important to me that I paint my toenails.  I have never had a pedicure ever, mainly because they cost too much.  I said yeah why..."mom seriously, at least paint your toenails."  I think my nekked feet look good.  Soft, smooth and my nails are white and clean.

So here I am, on the porch on the end of a chair bent over at the waist with my nose almost to the ground because I cannot get close enough with my cheaters to see🙄.  My husband comes out and says what in the world are you looking for with your nose to the ground?  Then he sees what I'm doing.  This is too much trouble. I got nail polish everywhere, struggling to keep it neat. Looks like I may have to look into that pedicure ugghhh.

I never paint my finger or toenails, I like the natural look...if someone told me I needed to I'd laugh & say no.

I bend one knee (at a time)....and rest my foot on the opposite knee.   That puts it about 18 inches from my face, and I can take care of my feet without stress or straining...

Your husband should be painting your toenails.

😂🤣

@Mz iMac  now that's funny!!!  He steers clear of all things beauty related.  Is clueless!

Stop painting your toenails. That is an issue your daughter has to figure out. Not you.

If she doesn't like them. Tell her not to look at them.

@manny2    She's always teasing me and that's ok.  Typically I get at her with a dish towel and chase her out in the yard but I don't want her having that baby in my yard!!!   It's all good.

If it doesn’t bother you then I say paint away lol. @bmorechick

Leave your toes unpainted and tell your daughter to worry about something else.

I also leave mine bare.  I can just about manage to cut and file my toenails myself.  Flexibility issues.  I've tried polishing my toenails and it goes all over the skin. Too much trouble.  I've had pedicures and I don't enjoy them. 

Nothing wrong with bare clean feet.

I have had pedicures in the past.  But now I just leave my toenails bare.  Agree that it is expensive and how long does it last?  I have no problem with toes that don't have polish on them.
