I must start posting here more ... I mean this is one of my favorite spots on all the Internets ... and I merely lurk. (Sorry kneehighs, but we did play phone tag once!)

OK ... I bought some way-ass-cool Pliner boots last week ... more on that later. I promise.

I do sometimes, Dark red. No reaction because I don't go out.

I do, always black at this point. No reaction outside yet. Wife not all that happy though. When she was fussing about the black I asked her if she wanted me to change it to dark red!!

As I have said in other posts, I wear nude and natural colors often in public with minimal comments.

I wear toenail polish in public 24/7/365 and get a lot of very positive comments from women. I always wear bright red or hot pink. My favorite colors are OPI Big Apple Red and OPI You're a Pisa Work (hot pink). My toes are always in open toe women's sandals of various heel heights and therefore everyone can see them. I was on a train from San Diego to San Juan Capistrano the other day and was wearing black women's sandals with a 2 inch heel. The Conductor was a woman about 40 year old. I had my feet up on the foot rest and when she was checking tickets, she noticed my red toenails. She said "I love you nails. That is the perfect color". We chatted about nail polish and pedicures for about 5 minutes and she slipped-off her very utilitarian closed-toe shoe to show me her red toenails. We compared the color of our nails and talked for a while.

Don't be afraid to show your red toenails in public. It is a very liberating experience. It is a little thing that I do 24/7 that makes me feel really femme. I also get professional pedicures in a nail salon every 10 days to my toes are always perfectly pedicured and wearing red or pink nail polish.

Google for Chuck Liddel (UFC champion) and Scott Speed (Nascar champion) and you will find that they wear colored nail polish on their toes. It really isn't a big deal.

Nice point! I know Chuck Liddell lets his daughter paint his...pink mostly.

I started doing this recently (last 2 pedi's), and have gone clear w/ French Tips (which I love). Bi-weekly pedi's.

Maybe next time I'll do a dark red?

I am sure that most of you have heard of OPI Nail Polish. The President of the company Suzi, runs a blog on the site. Please check out:

Toe Be or Not Toe Be
Rockers do it. Athletes do it. Even the guy in the next cubicle might do it. We're talking men wearing nail color on their toes -- and you'd be surprised at how popular the trend is. Think if it as "ink" for your toes, guys -- choose from super-bright shades (including blue, green, yellow) and dark tones, especially black (OPI Black Onyx Nail Lacquer is a favorite among the male-nail set). Plus, if your toenails could use a little improvement, Feet by OPI offers Nail Strengthener in Black -- not only does it look hot, it's formulated with liquid nylon to strengthen nails and help them look their best. Maybe it's just one toe, maybe all ten - but isn't it time you strutted your stuff?

Can't say I've exposed my colored toes in public (yet), but I did have an experience where I had my fingernails painted red, but the reaction was pretty minimal. Otherwise, I've done clear and French pedicures with no reaction at all.
