I was wondering when you ladies get your nails done, do you always match the color of your finger nails to your toe nails?
For instance, do you get a french manicure on your finger nails and have your toe nails done in a red or other color?
What's the etiquette on this?  |

LOL That totally depends on my mood on that day! Living in Florida where women are in sandals and open toe shoes all year long I see both all the time. |

I usually don't match -
Matching is nice sometimes and it works for some occasions but it's not what I do most of the time.
I've done a french on the toes and then a bright, cheerful color on my fingernails and vice versa.
Also for my job if I wear anything it's clear on the nails and I go all out on the toes. |

| I would definitely do a French on my hands and color on my toes, but 2 different colors put me off. I do try to stay the same (or nearly the same) on colors. |

I much prefer french on my toes. I think because it wears longer than a color for me and it seems to make my feet look even more dainty than they are (size 5 1/2..US). If I were to get my fingernails done (which I never do because I work with my hands too much to mess with it), they'd be french as well. The other reason I'm not a big fan of color is because I find it yellows my nails easily.  |

In the winter, I don't paint my toes. When I do in the summer, it is usually a bright sunny colour.
I usually wear a sheer pink or nudish colour on fingers. Sometimes just a couple of coats of clear OPI Nail Envy.
I am not concerned that I don't match. |

| I know a lot of people who use bright on the toes and use a pale color on their fingernails = easier to maintain and some don't like a bright on the fingernails. |

I have older looking hands and sometimes bright colours are just NOT flattering.
While I don't agree with a lot of things in the book "How not to look old" by Ms Chrupp; she does mention soft pink lip and nail colours. Her photos convinced me. |

| For my skintone I do best with either French manicure and pale sheer pinks or deep reds as long as they aren't orangey. |

I do like the look of the French it's so elegant and dignified, but every now and then a girl's just gotta have fun. |

I'm originally from a tropical climate, now living on the East Coast, and I HATE wearing shoes in the winter. Come spring, I want my toes to be free and happy! So it's bright colors for me.
On my hands, though, I prefer a more subdued look. French is always classy, but I prefer soft pinks for my stubby little fingers.  |

it seems im the opposite LOL
Usually in winter I wear bright on my toes and in summer with a tan I do white or pale pink.
Makes my tan stand out more
I work with my hands so no pint in painting those unless I get getl nails which again i go for a natural look. |

I usually match. But it still depends on my mood that day.  |

| I remember reading a fashion magazine and they said that match was "sadly gauche". That was about three years ago. For the most part I love sheers on my hands and something dramatic on my toes, but sometimes I just love the colour so much I can't help but do both, even if there are people out there who will feel vastly superior to me if I do. |

| I live in FL and I paint my toes year round. I probably match 50% of the time. When I dont match I always use the same color family though, so the colors go together but are not the same. |

| Usually I match..I used to apply same color on my hands and toe nails..I love to match them..I love to put colors according to my mood..If I am happy than bright colors other wise lighter shades..But due to busy life schedule I hardly give time to my Manicure and Pedicure so wondering to know any idea what should I do in between so that my hands and toes nail look good.. |
