YEP...either I do them...or my daughter treats me and does my finger nails!
It depends on the day as to what color I am wearing...and, NO, fingers and toes do not match in color!!!!
I am artistic like that!

Well, DS bought me some purple nail polish today and it looks very purple in the bottle, but fuschia on my toes! I still like the color, but it's NOT what I wanted! lol

right now they match they are both red but I don't always match them.. I usually do french nails and pink or red toes.. I can paint a french on my natural nails but right now I have shellac red polish on my natural nails.

I keep my toes done in the spring/summer, just because I'm always in sandals. Once I got the first pedi a couple years ago, I totally treat myself every 5 weeks or so.

Fingers, no. My nails are so soft and thin, they bend and break so easily, and nail polish doesn't stay on them very well. Right now, I'm trying to keep some Sally Hansen Hard as Nails on there to see if I can strengthen them up a little, but I don't paint them with color...I don't want to draw any attention to how bad they look...cuticles, too. I used to do acrylics, but took stopped that about 10 years ago. That was making them even softer, so I won't do those any more.

nope dont paint either and have pretty much never done. I do like getting manicures now and then but do not let her put color on them. Having my first pedicure in two weeks and plan no polish on my toes either. So, lol, I guess they match

I don't have finger nails to paint, but LOVE it on my toes. Right now my toes are purple...the new OPI color!

My toe nails are always painted. I like bright bold colors on my toes. Right now I have "Towel Boy Toy" on my toes by China Glaze, it;s like a neon aqua blue. Another fun one for summer is "Flip Flop Fantasy" by China Glaze.

If I paint my nails, they never match my toes, I have to have them different, I usually do more neutral on my fingers...but I actually don't like paint on my nails because I can never keep them nice for more than a day, they chip and then I pick and hate picking at the paint, but can't stop.

I paint my nails sometimes but not regularly. My toes get done when I am really depressed. But, they are so far down there and hard to reach. It makes them hard to do. LOL Now, THAT is depressing!

craftyfool · Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:56 am

Yep...well...no...*I* don't. But my nails are done. I have gels. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I just started getting them a year ago.

I'm leaving in 2 min for a fill so I don't know what color they will be. They are glittery purple right now with a pretty flower on each ring finger.

My toes are RED!

ChrissyTina · Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:58 pm

Yes! I usually go for the vampier shades of red. The more politically incorrect, the more appealing to me! However, depending on upcoming events or whatever, I will usually tone down the fingers to a less "offensive" color.

sarahwhithers · Mon Jul 25, 2011 1:21 pm

Nope, I have no nails to paint. I have a bad habit of biting them. But I do paint my toenails in the summer time so they look a bit better in those flip flops.

scrapaholic · Mon Jul 25, 2011 3:34 pm

Every 2 weeks I get my nails done, toes once a month so usually don't match. My fingers are a bright florescent green now with white flowers.

kguercio · Mon Jul 25, 2011 7:11 pm

Never my fingernails, since it only lasts like a nanosecond. In the summer I do my toes sometimes but usually a pretty neutral color.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 7:20 pm

I have a pedicure about every 6 weeks and have my toes painted. Currently they are a pale pink. Usually though I go for brighter colors. I've had a bold blue, Lime Green and bright purple in the past few months.

milmomma · Mon Jul 25, 2011 7:29 pm

Not really, I usually wear one of my pairs of Nike's and walk everywhere. So, why paint my toes. My finger are usually messed up by the time I leave the salon, as soon as I stand up at home. I'm one of those girls that is really rough on her hands, so I never bother to paint my nails, unless I'm going to a ball or something. :/

A few pics of my girlie doing my nails on the patio today

They looked like hers when they were finished. I forgot to take a pic!

cynderellaj · Mon Jul 25, 2011 8:18 pm

If my nails are a little on the longer side I will paint them to try to keep them nice. If they have all broken off, then no. Right now my fingers and my toes match...and they are a reddish orange color that I love

emarie803 · Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:44 pm

I usually don't have my fingers painted, but I currently have a french manicure, with matching toes, from my sis' wedding. Normally my toes are a dark red shade. I usually just do a clear coat on my fingers to keep them from breaking.

meteechtap · Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:46 pm

Finally got to treat myself on a mani & pedi on Saturday!! Yea, its been almost six months. I love getting french on my fingers and usually get a really obnoxious color on my toes. This time I frenched both and they look really nice! I was blessed with stong nails and have been able to grow them very well. I try to keep them in good shape, but do not always wear polish on my fingers. I do try and keep my toes polished, I Have a toe
that was broken about 14 yrs ago, and it has a thinkness in the nail that isn't very pretty. Just easier to paint them!
