Essie Wife Goes On. A pinkish red. I wear it year round and have been wearing this color for about 3 years.

Before this color I wore OPI Dutch Tulips.

Kennebunkport is my favorite red too. I need a blue-red, the orange reds (and anything with a yellow tone) look horrid on me.

I had a lovely pedi right before my vacation last week. I have a pretty rose polish on them and it's still looking great. In my ideal life, I'd have a professional pedi every week. I love them!

But I have freakishly long, skinny toes, which my aunt recently told me is a sign of royalty,

I have long toes too, and they make sandal shopping a pain sometimes. I hadn't heard about the sign of royalty thing - I like it! Better than being told that I have "french fry toes" as one pedicurist told me.

Back in January, I injured one of my big toes, and about a month ago the toenail finally fell off. :( I have glued a fake one onto the "stump", but I haven't been to get a pedicure since the injury.

Theclose, I'm going to look for that color. I had a similar pink/red and liked it.

Pedi just done last week ( monthly appt) and I switched it up from OPI Coal-it ion to "Asphalt" it is a CND polish. I only wear neutral color polish and dark on feet.

I just had a pedicure today and so my TEAL toes have been replaced by merlot. Don't ask me the name of the color. I pick out a color that I like from the display. It is OPI

This pedicure was done last weekend. I decided to break out of my typical red/pink/coral and go blue!

Don't look at my toe ouchies (I've been walking a lot) - just note that the toes match the shoes. ;-)

I absolutely cannot sign into GW on my ipad or iphone, so I can't show you the cute pictures of my toes, and I just had a pedi yesterday. I was thinking of getting a mint green similar to Bonnie Ann, but got to the salon and Essie's "Lounge Lover" just spoke to me. Perfect for spring.

I've admired blue polish on other people's toenails, but the one time I tried it it looked rather corpse like. I think that I chose the wrong kind of blue. I like the blue that leans toward teal.

Theclose, I LOVE that color!

I like red best on my toes. I have a lot of different polishes, but currently really like this inexpensive one. It goes on very nice.

Color is gogo girl.

Consumer Reports rated Sinful Colors higher than Chanel, and some other high end polishes.

Pretty! All of them! Thank you for sharing.

Actually, they have a Kylie Jenner collection of colors, but it's owned by Revlon.

"Sinful Colors" - LOL! Who thinks up this crap? ;-)

Oh my, Littlebug, I still love your natural look. Had I seen your pic above earlier today, I may have chickened out. Clean, simple and natural!

I wasn't able to get in for a pedicure due to timeline, so during my errands, I looked at 3 places for OPI Kennebunk-Port, per my agreement with Marlene above. None carried it, so at Ulta, I settled for OPI Red, which seemed a good place to start for a color other than my standard neutrals.

I brought it home with the OPI quick-dry topcoat. I had an event this evening and did the whole (much needed) de-callous routine at home and tried this OPI Red. It seems to have more pink than what the photo above shows on my screen.

I still want to try the Kenneckbunk-port because it has a bit more blue base to it. The Ulta rep said it may be that they're discontinuing the color.

Marlene, let me know if you try Coca Cola Red!

After a long winter, it was just nice to give myself a pedicure. And not wear socks.

lisad82, You can get Kennebunkport Red on Amazon. The best price is this one for $7.99, and I also see some for $19.95! There are only 2 left at the $7.99 price, with free shipping.

Kennebunkport Red

This is the color my 13 year old dd encouraged me to get when we went to get pedicures yesterday...normally I would have declined and chosen my normal hot pink, but I thought "what the heck?" Dd loves it!

Are the fingernail pictures holding nail polish your own, or is it a picture of a picture?

I plan on doing my manicure tomorrow. I do my own in the summer since I'm so rough on my nails.

Littlebug, let me join you in your little box. ;) The only time I put polish on my toes (never my fingernails) is when I wear slides in the summer. And then it has to be something barely there. I don't care for the rich, dark colors.

My toe-ingers are always a shade of OPI red. Not sure what this shade is as I have a few. Don't look close because I painted them myself last time.

Lisa, I am hanging my head in shame. I ended up with Kennebunk-port...yet again. I'd post a pic but my bunions take up the entire screen :-)

Marlene, I have fingers for toes so don't worry about your bunions : ) my actual fingers are like skinny arms.

justerrilynn, actually I was just admiring your toes (that sounds like I have a foot fetish...but I promise, I don't :-).

These are not my toes (or my fingers either) but the color I'm wearing. My feet refuse to photograph well. It's funny that Mtn only allows red on her toes (red is about the only color I wear), and I'm the same with blue which is about all I wear on my toes.

I typically do variations of pink but whatever the color, whether yellow, blue or coral, I am in love with gel nail polish!

I do my own pedicures and have many tools and a steady hand as I am an artist.

My fingernails, sadly, reflect my love of gardening and and oil paint.

No shame, Marlene! You like what you like. Note My3dogs link above to that color. I didn't order those last 2 at $7.99 because if it's discontinued, then I don't know what I'm missing. (Thanks, My3dogs, for sharing that.)

Linelle, that such a nice blue. I'm a sucker for anything leaning robin's egg blue. If I cross over to the blue side, I'm trying that one.

ETA, Oakley, that was a stock picture that I pulled. If only my nails were that nice...

Thanks, Lisa. Okay, I'll play. I've been trying to do my nails for two days and I've been too busy. I'm now using OPI's under-base coat, then base coat, two coats of polish, then two top coats. That's a total of 6 coats! Luckily I have a nail dryer.

Last time was mint green, but I'm going back to using "You Don't Know Jacque's!" this time. If I manage to get it done, I'll take a picture of a finger. :)

I like that, Oakley!

When I DIY my nails, I do not even use an base coat. Obviously, you find the under base and base coats worthwhile. I googled and cannot find an explanation for them. What do these 2 coats do?

I just got back from a pedi, using the color that theclose had shown us above - Essie's 'Wife Goes On'. A woman two chairs away liked my color so much that I could hear her tech saying, 'That's hers, she brought it in with her.' and she was trying to match my color from the hundreds they had to chose from. I offered the client my polish and she was thrilled, so it's a good one! (I do have 5 toes on each foot - the little one is hidden by the strap.)

Lisa, today is the first time I used Opi's Chip Skip. It goes on before the base coat, and they both are supposed to keep the nails from chipping. Using Chip Skip was weird! As soon as I put it on it evaporated! But I could tell it was there. They bond the polish to the nails. I'll let you know if it works.

Using a base coat alone only keeps my nails looking good for a little over a week, and the nails that chipped were on my right hand, the one I use.

This thread inspired me to pick up a new shade earlier today. I thought Sky's The Limit looked like a pretty shade, so on the toes it goes tomorrow.

I have M&M toes. They look like little peanut M&Ms and they tend to point down and you usually only see my big toe. My nails are tiny too-I usually tell the tech not to bother with my pinkie toes because the nail is just a sliver and is tucked so far in you can't see it. But I still get 'em painted! Last time was a dark navy blue-but I usually go for turquoise-kind of like what TR is showing above.

My3dogs, looks great! It really is a pretty color. I'm going tomorrow for a pedi. Can't wait!

Oh no, a pedi disaster! I took my sneaks off after a long walk and discovered this white spot in the middle of my Lounge Lover big toe. The polish isn't worn away and it feels perfectly smooth. I can't figure out where this white spot came from . Oh, the wrinkles on top of my foot came from my sandals. My feet are my last unwrinkled spot.

Good old Sally Hansen, "Unbreakable Heart". I love the deep blue red.

A nice tip I read is if you have small or short toe & fingernails is to use a Nude color. Opi's Mimosas for Mr. & Mrs. Smith looks good on me when my nails are shorter. It's not as pink as it shows in this picture.

Good old Sally Hansen, "Unbreakable Heart". I love the deep blue red.

I bought OPI Isn't that Precious for my fingernails. Painting my fingernails is something I have just been doing lately as I work with my hands a lot and the polish gets destroyed. This is not my hand . With two coats it's semi sheer and doesn't show the wear on the ends easily. It looks more healthy peach pink in real life. Strangely none of the online pictures of this color look exactly like my bottle.

That was the look I was going for, OPI's Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. Smith that Oakley posted, but the color I ended up with is a little more pinky/peach. I felt rushed to pick a color :-0

That's a pretty pink, JT. It looks to have a bit more than the one I posted. I'd prefer your color.

I finished doing my nails, only took two days, lol, and I hate hate hate the brown color. It makes me fingers look fat! I'll wait until they start chipping then take it off.

Putting the nails in ice water really does help set all the layers of polish and stuff. I used a little battery operated drying machine, then did the ice water, after each layer.

Oakley, it takes me forever as well! I don't think I am much good at doing my own toes until I get my cataracts off...just waiting for the new insurance.

Might keep doing my fingernails myself.

Do you all have problems with manicurists doing a bad job on filling? Makes me not want to give it a go again.

Here's my selfie while at the salon on Saturday morning. OPI color, but don't recall the name.

This thread inspired me to order a new color for my toes, this morning: OPI BAREFOOT IN BARCELONA

I seem to gravitate toward nudes and neutrals. OPI Samoan Sand has been my color of choice for the last 5-6 years. I'm not very adventurous in the color department and try not to draw attention to my feet which are typically shod in sensible-rather-then-cute sandals...

Right now my toes are simply done in OPI Natural Nail Strengthener for a little shine. Better then bare I suppose, but I think a more opaque polish would look fresh and clean longer.

Hopefully the new color works out and keeps my toes looking spiffy this summer.

cozyfarmhouse, Samoan Sand has been my toe color, too, for as long as I can remember. It works well with my skin tone.

I am the odd one among my friends and female family members who doesn't enjoy indulging in pedi & manicures. I'm attentive to keeping my feet & nails well-groomed, but I don't like spending time on maintaining color. So I only buff the nails on my hands and do my own neutral pedi for toes.

Maybe this thread will inspire me to try something wilder this summer :)

amck2, Samoan Sand works very well with my skin tone too, and it still looks good with a little wear around the edges, which makes it a real keeper. lol.

I've had my nails done professionally exactly once. I went with a French manicure and was quite disappointed when it was ruined the first time I washed the dishes. I'm far too ticklish to even consider letting someone else mess with my feet...
