Do you paint your nails? If so, do you enjoy doing/wearing it?

Gonna revive an old question...because I think it's worth revisiting. :p

Do you paint your nails? If so, what colors do you enjoy wearing the most?

Back in 2008, when this question was last asked according to my search, I didn't paint my nails. Only recently have I begun to paint my nails...but honestly, I'm loving every minute of wearing colorful nail polish! <3 ~^

Currently, I've only worn a minty sort of green and a dark blue which I'm currently wearing. I've got one more color that I haven't opened yet, it's sort of a pink, close to a skin tone color.

Still, I could really sit here and write a super-massive wall of text about how much I really really really love wearing nail polish now...it's fairly liberating really.

No. That's at least partly because, well, I'm a guy.
So is Pachy. So am I. Both of us paint our nails.

I started painting my nails in eighth grade, so I guess that's fairly recent. I like to wear fun colors, like silver and black. I usually paint them with bright, noticable colors, alternating between black and neon something.

They are currently black and a pale orange for Halloween, yes.

No. I can't ever seem to apply it right. I'll put it on, it'll flake just a bit or something, and then I'll go crazy and remove it all within a day. >_<

I especially can't now, because my nails get dirty and gross when I work (yay for making pizza!). No use painting them.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

Well, during lunch last year some of my friends (who were girls) found it funny to paint my nails green to match my outfit :/

I didn't really mind tho, but other than that instance and when I was 4 I don't think I've ever worn nail polish.

I did, a long time ago.

But I'm guilty of nail biting, and even nail painting doesn't help. Nowadays I hate putting on makeup and similar stuff, so I won't be using nail polish or anything like that in the near future~

Yes! I very literally feel naked without a coat of polish on my nails~
As for color, I prefer bright, unusual shades. I've got a pretty healthy collection of neon, metallic, and glow-in-the-dark colors. :3

My nails at the moment.

I don't often paint them, but when I spy nail polish I like, I just use it!

Couldn't decide between red or blue to use this time round, so I just ended up using both.

Mmm... I rarely paint my nails. I hardly ever have nail polish, and when I do have it, I don't generally think about painting my nails.

I.. don't believe I've ever painted my nails before.

Nor do I ever plan to. xD;

Unless maybe it's be silly, and only stays on for an hour so.

I used to, but now I don't bother because it takes too much effort (laaazy I know), I mean, I should've cut them ages ago, because they're getting really long too... :(

However, I once liked red nail polish due to Nick, I hope red nail polish at the time didn't have some sort of negative meaning though!

I did a few times in the past, but never frequently. Nowadays, I'm much too lazy to be going around and putting Nail Polish on my fingernails, same for make-up. I'm fine without those types of things, in my opinion.

There's something about cosmetics that really kind of weird me out. I prefer everything to be 100% natural. I even try and avoid taking pills and things, because the thought of chemicals being applied to the body is kind of unnerving to me, whether it's in the form of medicine, or strange gooey stuff being applied to the face/nails.

I don't really care much if other people use them. Unless someone absolutely plasters themselves in make-up so they look like a clown, then it's just funny. I've yet to meet someone who doesn't look better when they're not wearing make-up though.

But the thought of applying any form of cosmetic to myself just makes me shiver. And that's just the thought of the feeling of it, not including the fact I would look silly.
