unpainted toenails?

[Anonymous]

It's fine. I don't pay attention to strangers feet. Mine toes look better polished than unpolished, but I am older and don't have "shapely feet" whatever that means.

As long as the toenails are short and not discolored they look fine unpolished.

We should be friends!

I'm this way as well. I do prefer clear polish, but many times I have no polish at all.
I strongly dislike toes painted bright colors, I see blue, bright pink, dark red, all of it looks garish.
For painted toes, I like low-key colors unless you're on a tropical vacation..
To each her own, of course.

Although this is a revived, 3 year old thread, I'll bite. I no longer paint my nails because the polish damages my nails. After a couple of months with polish, my nails are flaking. It takes all winter without polish for them to grow out and be normal again. I'll get pedicures for the summer but no polish, just buffing.

Agree. It's just so weird to me but t.e.h.o.

I personally prefer to have painted toenails year round, but that is just me.

As long as you adequately care for your feet in general, then yes you can pull off a clean, natural look.

Just make sure that your toenails are trimmed neatly.

You can be smart AND attractive, at the same time. It IS possible.

Me too! Mine look worse painted because I am sloppy with nail polish and my toenails are short. My toe nails are very clean and delicate looking.
