Martini Mom Posted July 14, 2011 #51 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm really hoping my toes heal before our cruise in 5.5 wks.. I broke 2 toes in a couple of places this weekend, they are wonderfully purple, swollen, and killing me! On a positive note, I thought it was my foot that was broke and would have been devastated to cruise with a cast.. I would have gotten the cast off the week *after* the cruise, can you imagine the cast shaped tan line? LOL Just paint 'em purple so they'll match. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharecruises Posted July 14, 2011 #52 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Cute !! I do think the "Carnival Toes" gal should send that pic to Carnival and/or John Heald Maybe they will start doing that paint job in the on board salon? Really cute thanks for sharing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't show the picture, but on the conquest my kids made me pose for a picture with the "watch your step" sign after I blackened a toe tripping over one of those dividers!

wannago35 Posted July 14, 2011 #55 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) What about us men? My hubby is a diabetic & gets his feet done (NOT painted toenails though!) for medical reasons. He put off his appt. 2 weeks until the day before we cruise just so that he could get his feet done. I just LOL! Men got their stuff and we got ours altho I doubt he'd do his feet if it weren't for medical reasons :) he'd probably kill me if he knew I put this on the message board too :eek: Edited July 14, 2011 by wannago35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toby #1 Posted July 14, 2011 #57 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Last cruise I saw so many pretty cruise pedicures, I want to do something really fun, and need some ideas!! I always take a cruise toes picture, but want something new! Show me yours!~ Oh my, what big fee you have. Just kidding :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRaysfan Posted July 14, 2011 #58 Share Posted July 14, 2011 One foot of toes.. pink... Many times though I do dive flag toe nails when we dive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondietink Posted July 14, 2011 #59 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I usually just paint mine a bright frosted orange. Sorry, no pics. However, I would like to ask all of you who get pedicures ..... how do you keep them so nice during the cruise? I have this habit of when I am in sand/at beaches, my toes get all scruffed up, so I have to re-apply my toenail polish. How do you do this if you have a pedicure? I am afraid that if I got a pedicure, in one day there would be nail polish missing and my feet would look worse than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky that the place I get pedis does them so well they don't chip for weeks. But just in case, I either take my color with me or pick a color I have at home so I can do touchups as needed.

jaded99 Posted July 15, 2011 #61 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Love all the cute pedis! I hope they start doing the Carnival colors one as a special onboard. I would totally go up to the spa to get that done. I'll have to try that one sometime regardless. I just did plain hot pink on my last cruise, french tips the cruise before that, and silver the one before that. (No pics I'm afraid). For my wedding cruise I want to get ivory with pink roses on the big toes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid that if I got a pedicure, in one day there would be nail polish missing and my feet would look worse than before. Whether you do your pedi yourself or if you go to an actual nail shop or salon make sure to use a good base coat and top coat. What I do is I just keep applying a thin top coat each day up until the trip. I usually get it done 2 days before we leave so I just apply keep applying a top coat each day. It really keeps the polish from chipping off since there are so many coats on top and it makes the polish look liquidy and shiny like a brand new paint job on a car. The paint job lasts for weeks and can withstand the sand and stuff while on vacay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8esther8 Posted July 15, 2011 #64 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just got off my cruise Friday, and these were my toes (although they are ready for a re-do). When the sand dulled the finish after a few days, I just brushed on a fresh new clear coat on top, and wah-laa! Brand new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid that if I got a pedicure, in one day there would be nail polish missing and my feet would look worse than before. A really good top coat goes a long way. I have also found that the glitter polishes last much longer than anything. I buy glitter polish at Walgreens for $1.50 and put it on top of my color then a clear top coat. Even when I get a pedi, they have a hard time getting that off. It lasts and lasts and lasts. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mousey Posted July 15, 2011 #74 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I really enjoyed this thread! Good quality nail polish like OPI for example, and top and bottom coats are the way to go if you want a longlasting mani/pedi. And it is true that the cheap glitter nail polishes last just about forever and are hard to remove. I've always loved painting my nails and toes and love to try all the new colors that come out every year!:D I too am going to steal (well "borrow") the Carnival nail job!;) Thanks for sharing ladies!:D Edited July 15, 2011 by mousey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaParrotHead Posted July 15, 2011 #75 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I use OPI or Sally Hansen for the colors and an OPI top coat. Mine not only lasted throughout the cruise, but a few weeks after the fact. I just couldn't bring myself to change them. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
