Munchkin1 Posted March 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I am going to have my nails done in a french manicure, but I'm not sure what color to do my toenails. I don't want to have to take a bunch of different polish with me on the trip so I would prefer to just choose a color and stick with that for the entire trip. Anyone have any ideas?

sp29488 Posted March 14, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I usually go with a coral color, I think that's it is (It looks carribean to me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted March 14, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I usually like a bright red in the summer and a darker red/wine in the winter. Occasionally a coral if I'm tan. What shades will look good on you depend on your skin tone, to a certain extent (ie what exact shade of red). You could really wear almost any color!

Nliedel Posted March 14, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I like red on my toes too. When I was in the Caribbean I stocked up on Channel Nail Polish which I will not pay that much for in the states. Got a great deal and love that red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfan05 Posted March 14, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Another vote for red. I always try to find a shade works well with whatever I'm wearing. I have WAY too many sandals and some colors just don't work well. My favorites are: OPI Red (true red), Wanted Red or Alive (pinky red) and French Cognac (brown/ red).

Jocia Posted March 14, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Why not get your toes done French too? I usually do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted March 14, 2006 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I use Maybelline wet shine in cherry rain. It's a nice red on the pink side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted March 14, 2006 #10 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Another vote for red on the toes. A french manicure looks weird to me on the feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted March 14, 2006 #11 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I've never been a fan of the french manicure on fingers, even less so on toes, so I wouldn't vote for that:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvjftffc Posted March 14, 2006 #12 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I would think bright pink to be an excellent choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munchkin1 Posted March 14, 2006 Author #13 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have a bright pink that would probably work good, but by the responses here it looks like maybe I'll be shopping for something red. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caviargal Posted March 14, 2006 #14 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I wear red on my toes most of the year but usually opt for a french in the summer or for a coppery bronze that looks great with a tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenandlinda Posted March 15, 2006 #18 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I do the french on my fingernails too for our cruise. Then I put red red on my toes!! It just makes for an exciting feeling. I like my nails done in the pink and whites so they look extra special. Have a great cruise. We leave in just over 2 weeks for the Enchantment!!

Happy ks Posted March 16, 2006 #19 Share Posted March 16, 2006 It depends on my shoe and dress color, whatever polish looks good is fine with me. I also like to make sure the color looks good with my skin. Why would you need to take polish with you? I get a pedicure every 6 weeks in winter, every 4 weeks in summer and I never have a problem with polish chipping off my toes. Are you using a good base coat and a non-yellowing top coat? You really don't need to go the route of professional manicure, if you do it properly yourself, the polish should still last for weeks. It's the light packer coming out in me.

nicenspicy Posted March 16, 2006 #20 Share Posted March 16, 2006 While I would love to wear red on my toe nails in the summer, I think it would call too much attention to my long & somewhat crooked toes. I have a darker skin tone & a girly pale pink looks best on me. If it is not pink then I do french. When I do french, some of my friends make fun & call me monkey foot.
