anyone else find it odd that these "low maintenance" women are ready and posting on a beauty & fashion forum?

nah -- it's called looking like a human. painted nails look garish.

What? I'm curious what you mean by this. I don't think I've ever seen it...

I'm considering going the natural route. I have been lap swimming in the mornings and I'm some kind of dumdum that manages to scrape my big toes at some point and the polish always comes off. I just repaint my big toes twice a week, haha.

I prefer painted toes but this summer being preggo I'm giving myself an exception. I can't even cut them anymore, have to enlist help. I wish I liked pedicures but I can't stand them!

And women who let the toenails grow out and square them like porn nails are so gross. I love it so much that porn stars are dictating fashion. Is ass bleaching still a thing?

Am I committing a complete faux pas by wearing sandals all summer without polished toes?

Only if you are a stripper or are making some porn. I can't believe you think it is mandatory.

My toenails look better covered up, but I also have unattractive feet and somehow the polish draws the attention away. If your feet and toenails look fine, without polish is fine too.

As long as they are clean and trimmed, it's fine. I like my nails when they are buffed, so they are smooth and a little satiny.

We should be friends!

Clear polish, at least, for some shine

I never paint my fingernails, but I always have my toes done. It's pretty easy because a pedicure lasts me 3+ weeks. But having said that, no one is forced to paint her toenails.

Agree

Same here. While natural is certainly someone's prerogative, I rarely see toes that would not benefit from being covered up.
