Are you barefoot?

Are your toenails painted -  right now? What colour?

This is an odd thought - I always dance in shoes, but I always always have my toenails painted. - year round. 

My feet just don't look like my feet unless there is polish on the toes. Usually red, or a shade of red, sometimes brown.  I try other colours really I do, but they never last long.

In fact I had bright candy pink polish on them up until last night - I hated it.  So I tossed the polish in the bag headed to my SIL's  (her girls love nail polish - ages 3 & 5)  I'm planning to paint them a nice shade of taupe-brown today.

I don't paint my toenails because there's nothing there to paint. I literally have little tiny chips on 4 toes on each foot, and a relatively normal nail on the big toes.

Even if there were toenails, I'm also too fat to paint them. 8)

I do my mother's for her, though. She's got an entire shelf of the fridge to keeping all of her nail polish. *Sighs*

does she really keep it in the fridge? Does it really help? I thought they busted that myth.

She sure does. I don't know whether it helps or not, but she's had the same ones in there for years and they still work just fine. She's got over 30 different colours in there, and since we only do the nails from April-September, once a week or every two weeks, she doesn't use them up very quickly.

Personally, I tend to like them better when they're a bit chilled when I'm doing it. The polish doesn't run and I tend to get a nice even coat if I give it a quick shake before I use it.

Has to do more with the way we do it. She's got cerebral palsy really bad on one side, and a bit of it on the other, and has problems keeping her feet flat unless she stands, and that got a bit frustrating for both of us. So she ends up sitting with her feet on maybe a 45º angle on a kitchen step stool and I sit on the ground and do 'em.
