I can safely say many of you have seen more of my feet than my face or my body. Hurhur. That’s because I’m a feet-centred person and I like to flaunt what I think are rather pretty feet.
(Actually the real reason is, there’s not much to show off in terms of my face or bod.)
Which is why I must always have colours on my toe nails. It is a taboo for me to leave my house without them nicely painted. Like not having my clothes on, if you know what I mean.
I do my own pedicure. Either weekly or fortnightly. Sometimes I get lazy and I drag my feet for another week if I don’t need to leave the house that often. Of course I’ll like to have the pedicurist handle the full works if I’m not such an el cheapo. Plus I got chicken feet after learning that harmful bacterias can accumulate in whirlpool foot baths that are not properly cleansed and thereafter cause problematic leg infections. However I suspect that these fears will quickly subside if the pedicure was free.
Anway, it’s important for me to take care of my feet because they make good conversation piece at interesting moments. Like bored nurses in the delivery room who took turns to examine my toe nails like it was some art and commented that the colours matched the hospital robe I was in. I’m sure admiring my toe nails was far more interesting than peering into my dark hole to check if my cervix was fully dilated for Gavin to pop.
Speaking of which, I wonder if the colour I used then had anything to do with my whiney son now. Because the label at the bottom of the bottle reads “STOP WINE-ING”.
You are good lady. You look like you just stepped out of the nail spa! I’m looking for a nice pearly white shade now, any to recommend?
DR: I don’t use that shade so cannot recommend. Maybe you can check out OPI’s range. They have quite nice classic neutral shades.

Hey, I agree with domestic rat, your nails look professionally done!
Like you, I do my own nails too, both pedi & mani. The charges at the nail spas are too expensive for my liking. And, I love OPIs too. ;P

Wow.. you are sure able to do a good nail job huh??
I can’t.. the only time I painted my nails (hands) was when I got married. I can’t do it on my own and find that paying so much to get them done by others is just not worth it..
And the bottles of nail polish you have!! woooo!! Like a pro.

Ten well-polished toe nails…they look as if they were done by some professionals…very nice!
Like you, i paint my toe nails weekly or fortnightly too…..i remember painting my toe nails at 3+ am the night before my sis’ wedding..haha..
