Pretty hard to paint ones toes! I think you're right, practice. Have lots of nail polish remover and cotton balls handy to clean off the mistakes. And, do it over paper or something that won't be damaged if (when) you spill. 

Honestly, I think you'd be much happier getting a pedicure at a salon. It's pretty inexpensive, easy. and they do more than just paint your nails. 

Yeah. I really do want to get a pedicure at the salon. Just really nervous going their by myself. Thank you for the advice.

Dear Frank and Friends,

Whether you groom your own nails or have it done at the salon, be sure to practice good nail care daily.

Check for chipping and breakage daily, use nail conditioner regularly, and file and buff your nails as well.

Be aware your diet can impact your nails as well as health issues, such as low thyroid (thinning and chipping), so observe your nails regularly.

Yours truly,

Monica

Thank you ladies.

All good comments. It does take some practice to do it yourself for sure. I think it's worth it. I love my painted toenails.
