Default Pedicure colours

I can't decide what colour to do my toenails. I've only included the colours I already own as I don't want to buy more (I'm poor )

What colour should I choose?

My toes are almost always a dark red/bergundy colour, so I voted for the dark red!

Right now I have "I'm not really a waitress" by OPI....pretty much my standard colour!

So that's what theat colour looks like. I always wondered but never got round to asking, I had the impression it was pink.

The OPI red I have is Big Apple Red.
A customer at the place I go had this gorgeous red on.
I asked her what she was wearing b/c I really loved that red.
They had just gotten lotsa colors in at the nail place that same day too.

Is it a true red? I had heard that not really a waitress was, but it's not even close, more a merlot than a red. I wear it very rarely, but would love to have a really true red for that once in awhile thing

And you know Wile, you truly are the Nail Guru

Funny you should ask about the true red thing b/c that's exactly what I asked the customer! lol
Yes it is. See, the thing is the colors look tricky on the computer & in the bottle before coats & drying, ya know?
Yes, once & awhile thang is good


Maybe it's finally time for a suffix change.

I just can't seem to let this one go...lol

I'm very partial to my Mary Kay hot pink nail color, so I voted dark pink. Dark red is nice too. I don't really like the lighter shades on toenails.

Wicked by Essie is my favorite pedicure color.

I love OPI's Romeo & Joliet for pedicures too. It's kind of a deep, dark, metallic warm red. Mmmmm, I need a pedicure. I love dark or really bright colors on toes.

i've worn my OPI Canadian Maple Leaf on my toes ever since i first bought it!

since it wasn't a colour they added to the regular collection, i don't know what i'm going to do when this runs out....



i REALLY wanted to get Teal the Cows Come Home from the summer brights collection, but i couldn't find it for sale anywhere here in town...

I love this color! I usually stick to those shades when I get my nails done, which generally causes the pedicurist to remark that I should pick something besides red. "You always get red!"


But I love it lol

Well it seems dark red is winning! It's sort of a dark red wine colour. Very pretty.
