Nail varnish,

[flump1]

Well ladies, do you wear varnish all the time, special occasions, fingers and toes ?I have just found a colour I love and I spend ages " touching up " . I think it looks awful when it chips.

[ummmm]

Can't remember the last time I wore it.

[yogasun]

Never without it - my mother was the same and I seem to have inherited the nail varnish gene. I do the same flump1, I wear the colour to death.

[rockyracoon]

I usually wear it on my toes, especially if I'm wearing sandals, finger nails not so much, but I've just found a lovely nude colour and it's stayed on for 5 days now and hasn't chipped.

[yogasun]

What make is that rocky?

[echokilo]

Always on toes .... rarely on fingers, and only ever clear or very pale.... on toes lasts about 3 weeks without chipping as long as you use good quality base, polish and top coat.

[echokilo]

Sorry ... clear or pale on fingers.... toes the darker/bolder the better

[237SJ]

Always on my toes. Most of the time on my fingers. I have to wear boring uniform standard ones to work so I like putting on the bright colours that are fashionable now on my days off.

[Prudie]

Always on fingers and toes. Usually wear a glittery silver MF one but often change to a navy or teal - trouble with the bright colours are they need to be perfect or it looks really naff.

Yoga, it's call Nail Pop, colour Petticoat shade 20. I got it in Superdrug for a fiver, there were more nude colours, bit darker and lighter. I'm really pleased with it, tidy nails without the 'look at me' colour.

[rockyracoon]

The 'look at me' comment refered to me, not others who like wearing colourful nails, they always look crap on me.

[Prudie]

yeah yeah rocky! :-))
Personally I think the trend for the really colourful arty ones with pictures etc only looks good (if at all) on the very young. I also don't get the the practice of leaving the moon unpainted, that looks odd and chipped to me.

[naomi24]

All the time - fingers and toes.

[China Doll]

Always on toes, and sometimes on nails. But if I have both sets done then they must match as can not stand mismatched nails. I generally have bright pink or coral colour in summer and a dark red in winter. I think my feet look really odd without painted toe nails.

[rockyracoon]

Prudie, I agree, my friend wears some kind of crackled effect, I don't like it. I'm the same with lipstick, I used to wear bright red when younger but urgh, it would look crap on me now so I tend to wear more the nude colours now.

[yogasun]

Thanks rocky, sorry had to go and answer the door. Funnily enough LOVE nude colours on others but go for browny reds, plums myself as nude looks horrendous on me.

[nannybooby]

Oh yes -all the time and there is only one colour Revlon Red(no chips)

[flump1]

Thanks for all the answers ladies, I have only just started wearing it and I am now a convert ! Hate my fingernails without colour.
I am not too sure about my toe nails , they are so tiny painting them nicely is a pain in the butt and I am not sure I want to be repairing them every day as I do my fingers' .

Have you never tried having Shellac? I had it put on my nails for the first time 2 and a half weeks ago and its still on, no chips or cracks. I love black nail polish so i had black, it looks great, really shiny
