Sandal Toes

Sandals are my shoe of choice all the time. The only exception is when there is fresh, cold snow on the ground. Then I'll wear boots. Just had to do that one time this past winter - hooray...... I think some of you may just now be starting to think about breaking out your sandals. If so, you need snazzy sandal toes. I often give myself a $50.00 pedicure right in my own bedroom. I start by putting a huge beach towel on the floor because I have been known to dump over a bottle of turquoise nail polish on the white carpet (not good). I have an vintage enamel basin that I use as a footbath. I fill it up with bubble bath warm water and have a nice soak. Next come the pumice for nice smooth baby skin, followed by a soothing rub of cream. I attend to the cuticles and nail length. Then the fun part. After a base coat, I pick a color. I've been using a lot of turquoise and also very dark, dark purple (almost black). But for Springtime and Summer...........strawberries.
Hot pink polish with white polka dots. OK, OK, I know strawberries don't have white dots. The strawberry seeds, which are on the outside of strawberries, are sort of black. I tried that and I didn't like it. I like white dots better. If you happen to hang out with any little girls and they see these strawberry toes, they'll want them too. Go ahead and give them a treat.

  6. Very cute! You must have a lot of patience to paint all those dots! I actually bought a bottle of black nail polish for my toes this summer....when it gets warm and when I get brave! Black toes with black sandals is SO pretty!
