I pretty much stay to hot red colour on my toes (or the odd hot pink) and I never paint my finger nails. Its a "thing" I have... I have very healthy, strong long nails and I just can't stand that the salon girls never do it the way I want it done so I just don't get manicures. I know, I am weird...
Nope, not weird. I do my own nails because I like the way I shape them and nobody does it the way I do. LOL I also have a "thing" for nail polish and buy it allll the time, which is good because I probably change my nail color 3 times a week. I like Revlon Top Speed the most. Today's color: Peachy.
My toes are Revlon's Fashionista, which is navy blue-ish.
