Mine: Orly Halley's Comet (glittery teal) with a coat of Cover Girl Goddess Top Coat (clear holo micro glitter) over it.

Usually I paint my toenails too but lately it's been too cold to remove my socks for more than a couple of minutes at a time.

my fingernails are naked at the moment.

Mine too.

Same here.

Naked, but on Thursday, they were blue. I like to keep them black, normally.

I've had some black ones when I misused a hammer on occasion.

Aynge, I've found that because they dry so quickly, matte polishes are awesome for winter pedicures. Orly Purple Velvet, Zoya Harlow and Zoya Posh are my winter go-tos for toes.

I just removed last week's manicure of China Glaze BFF and am trying to decide on this week's color. Suggestions will be appreciated!

I like Lincoln Park After Dark.

I adore the look of matte Jammies, but they chip like crazy!! So I no longer buy matte polish. I discovered matte top coat which I use instead. No shine, no chips.

I only paint my toenails and only in the summer when it's sandal season, so I'm currently nude atm.

my hands are always a disaster, but I recently splurged on a pedicure/foot massage. My toenails are OPI's Russian Navy. :)

Naked. I sometimes go in for toenail painting, but only in summer.

Oooh, Barbarino, that sounds niiiiiiiiiice!

Aynge, the Orly matte polishes don't seem to chip quite so much on my toes. They last about a week even with three hour-long sessions in chlorinated water, so I do recommend them.

I still have nekkid fingernails because I am so spoiled for choice I can't make up my damn mind.

I'm wearing "True Nude", guaranteed to last forever.

Naked. I stopped painting my fingernails when I was 18 or 19.

Blue satin, love it. I normally use dark colours.

I have enough nail polish to paint my house, inside and out. When I can't choose - which is rare - I abstain until I do. Occasionally I go for months bare but I always come back to nail polish. It's my only real vice. But I never get manicures of pedis. I always do it myself.

the nails on my left hand are now a dark red (catrice - caught on the red carpet) and the nails on my right hand are still bare. if i just paint the nails on my left hand the polish won't chip as fast.

Is you left hand your dominant hand? I learned that if you paint the nails on your dominant hand first, you won't get as many smudges. Which turned out to be true.

my right hand is my dominant hand and i usually don't paint the nails on it.

my nails are naked. I spend a lot of time washing dishes by hand and using cleaning products.

I painted my toenails OPI red and thought of y'all.

Thanks for the pictures Heidi! I love nail spam!

Today my nails are painted Maybelline's Denim Dash with white stars Konaded onto them. If I knew how to post a picture I would.

I love rosy future it's one of my favourites.

I don't do manicures, but i do a pedicure/foot massage about every 5 to 6 weeks. Right now they are neon green with smiley faces on my big toes in red & black. I'm thinking bright yellow next time.

PURPLE for my CO ROCKIES! spring training to start 2/14. :)

White with a border of red hearts.

I did mine pink with white and silver hearts for Valentines day... but I made the mistake of using Seche Vite top coat and it shrank my polish! So I removed it and now have Sally Hansen's Teal Takeoff (it matches my homemade teal ring).

My fingernails are fingernail colored.

i got my nails done on the weekend. my nails are a nice dark blue color with silver flowers and stuff. and then my toe nails are the same.

Sally Hansen Perfect Cherry

Are you kidding I don't want to draw any attention to my hands.

Heidi, how about a different Loden green? Zoya has a special offer--three green polishes for $5! http://www.zoya.com/content/38/catego...

Did you order? I have Suvi already, wouldn't wear Shawn and don't need Ivanka, so I didn't order.

I don't think I've worn nail polish since I was fifteen.

Heidi wrote: "No. I don't do credit cards. :(

I adore the Suvi one."

Heidi, how do I send you a PM when your profile is private?

::sigh:: My daughter has discovered shatter nail polish. It was only a matter of time. It does look cute.

Mine are naked at the moment but the minute the cast on left hand comes off so I can paint my right hand they will be some beautiful dark red or purple OPI colour :D

Right - so I'll be 'popping' over to yours so you can paint mine like that, right ;D

Storm by Joe Fresh Style- these are not my claws, er, hands:

I sell DIY Ruby's Claws Kits. But it would be rude to plug them here :)

Haha, I can usually do them myself - but not when one hand's unable to grip the brush :(

Plus that colour would match the cast and I don't have it - or the shatter effect - and it'd be a great reason for why I need a holiday down under ;D

Sooo.... shatter nail polish goes on like that? Looks like it's just mixed colors.

You paint one colour. Let it dry, then paint the next colour over the top. Don't use the OPI or BYS ones - the cheaper ones crackle better. Wait till they've shattered as much as you want them to, then use a clear top coat. I have a Tips Sheet for doing nails quick and easy & getting the effect you want. I'm far too lazy to spend much time on them. DM me if you'd like a copy :)

There are also pens with a superfine tip if you want to draw the effect, but that takes much longer.

These are probably my favourite nails of the year..

Very pretty, Ruby! I'm giving my nails a week off, but last weekend they were a gorgeous autumn orange (CND Just Red + CND Copper Shimmer for the nail geeks).

Mine are bare naked at the moment, waiting for my daughter to do her thing. I usually do my own, but I want designs and she's so damn good she has a clientel. No shit!! She swiped three stripes of color across her nails then she crackled them. Looked awesome.

Oooh. I'm curious. Was there another colour under the 3 stripes? Or were the 3 stripes over each other?
