Girly question Are we suppose to paint our nails to match our toe nails? (or vice versa) I've always wondered. I often paint my nails but never my toe nails (I hate my toes) and one time I wanted to, but I didn't know what color or if I should make them match. What do you do? |
I wondered this too..lol........I tend to paint my toes a darker shade because they are farther away so it looks less jarring and then I do my fingers lighter .....But, I feel "mismatched" when I do this.....:confused: |
My daughters, (15 and 19) do their nails all the time. Sometimes they go to the salon. I say no you don't have to have them match. |
HAHAHA! I'm just thinking back to the days when i used to care enough to take the time to do my nails and toes. I'm lucky if I even clip them down now. I guess that's why i have all closed toe shoes now. And I was just messing with a cuticle that needs to be trimmed. |
If I remember right, the old "rule" was to make them match. The new rule is that they can be different. |

Well, I guess it would depend on if you were going to an event. I would say that having the same (maybe slightly different) would be better. Like you could use a similar color. I used to like to do a french manicure on my toes and paint my nails something different. But haven't had the time to do any of that lately, everytime I do my nails anymore, they chip the next day! |
Timely question Funny isn't it I was thinking about this myself this morning, Revlon have a gorgeous new orange nail polish out and guess what? I brought a gorgeous new orange hand bag and open toed shoes, so when we went out on Saturday i painted my fingers and toes orange and had loads of comments, but come Monday my finger nails needed repainting and as I was wearing black I painted my nails red but didn't do my toes, now today I'm back in sandals,with my orange toes and red finger nails and feel so mismatched, I know what I'm doing tonight. |

I've only been to a nail salon about 2x in my entire life. I can't justify paying someone to do something i can do myself. On a side note, my dad used to get mad at my mom for going to the nail salon, back when they were married. He said, if you're an attractive woman, men are not gonna care if your nails are painted or not. On the other hand if you're unattractive, no man's gonna say oh she's got some nice nails! LOL! Can't beat that logic! |
You definitely don't need to match. In fact, matching might be a little weird, at least in there here parts. My fingernails have never held polish well, and I was very into wall climbing for a few years, which destroys a mannie, so I haven't gotten them done in forever. For a long time I was religious about pedicures - I actually had them planned out for months in advance. That was in New York. In SF, I haven't found a nearby place that I like, so I only get them done occasionally. I've been gradually replacing all my open-toed shoes with closed toe. |

I never get my fingers done anymore. My nails are trimmed very short and kept neat. I am lucky that I have long nail beds so my hands still look ok without polish Toes I keep painted spring, summer and fall - and in winter if I am going formal and wearing open toe shoes. My color is a dark burgundy/ red. Or, I get a french. All depends. I sometimes do them myself, but also treat myself to the occasional pedicure... Back to the question of the OP -- I would not necessarily make them match. However I would use the same color family, lighter on the hands, darker on the feet. Or, would probably go french on my hands and color on my toes |

Being a personal stylist and up on all the latest trends...no your toenails and fingernails do not have to match! However the colors should compliment eachother especially in the summertime when all are visable! In the spring/summer I tend to have mine match or do a nude color on my fingers and something very fun on the toes!! It's a personal preference I think but there is my opinion!! |
