Mani / Pedi - Colors and matching or not

Nude/French polish in the Spring and Summer, Chanel Rouge Noir in the cooler months. Always match fingers and toes...

Getting my Mani/Pedi tonight before my Mediterranean Cruise in 3 days. Going for a sheer light pink with a bit of sparkles on my fingers and a bright Pinkish Red for my toes. But, that always changes when I go look at the color wall. SO we will see what I end up with. My first Cruise. Excited. this is the last thing to do expect for Pack!!

I guess it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway LOL .. do whatever YOU like ... :D

 

.

I normally wear one color for my mani and 10 colors for my pedi. A girl has to have color options. lol

I always get my nails done before a cruise then regret it as they grow out and I can't do anything fun ( try rock climbing and such). This time I'm getting a few packs of press on nails. I'll have pretty fingers when I want them and can pop them off when i don't want them. I have super thin nails ( think 2 plys of plastic wrap) I've actually had 4 nails bend back and stay and not even notice because they are so thin and flimsy. Although when i go to a salon and have them done I realize just how fast they do grow. After a week and a day they've grown out so far they need to be filled in. So press ons it is this time. I'll just change them as the mood hits😄

My nails always match regardless of cruising or not. The only way I break out of this is if I'm polish free on my fingernails. I cannot stand nails that not don't match.

I feel having them match is 'old school'. I always have my toes a little brighter

+1 Agree!!

Hi. Just back from another cruise and did not match my toes and fingers.

I went with purple on my toes and a sparkly peach on my fingers. The fingers were a gel manicure so it lasts over 2 weeks.

Mine, when I do them, don't match. I like bright or dark colors on my toes and clear or light colors on my fingers.

Have any of you tried Color Street nail polish strips? I've been using them for almost two months. Much cheaper than gel manicures and super easy to apply. They last two weeks on ny fingernails and almost a month on toenails.

My nails and toes rarely match

What is the ballpark price for a gel mani-pedi these days?

Most people find it unnecessary to get gel on their toes; regular polish lasts just fine. Save your money and just get gel on your fingers.

Okay - tell me how crazy this is:

 

For my cruise, I'm seriously considering getting the nails on my right hand and right foot done in green (for starboard navigation lights), and my left hand & foot done in red (for port navigation lights). Fun and cruise-ey? Or too esoteric/nautical/just plain weird?

Only because you asked.....

Yep, I think it's pretty crazy, and I think the whole relationship to navigational lights would be lost on most people. Even without that reference, I'd find the combo of red and green to be really odd for polish colors. But if it makes you happy.....

I always do color on the toes, and clear on the fingernails, since my fingernails tend to chip and peel

Hi.

Back from another cruise and did not match.

I went with a sparkly peach on my fingers. Gel manicure that lasts for weeks.

And a pretty blue on my toes. Regular pedicure for the toes.
