Subject: The Nail Polish Thread or Exactly What is Wrong With Purple Nail Polish Andy?

Well Davey Thrashmister? Enquiring minds need to know!

Personally I am the queen of nail polish! I have over 100 bottles covering just about every colour you can think of and I *love* purple nail polish.

I don't wear polish now.  The last time I can recall wearing it is when I got married 15 years ago!  I'm sure I must of worn it since then but can't recall the occasion.

I have been known to wear purple nail polish; in particular alternating nails of purple and v pale pink (Iced Champink for the Avon fans).  I also did black and white alternates for a while.

I hardly ever wear nail polish on my fingers (except when I let my nails grow long) but I always have it on my toes.  I have tons of different colors, usually I stick with pinks/mauves and neutral colors however I have on occasion painted them blue, purple and green.  ;D

I used to wear polish ALL the time-usually reds. But never on my toes. I remember one time when I was broke but I wanted get myself a little gift (because I DESERVED it!), so I picked myself up a little bottle of nail polish (that was about all I could afford). Didn't need it but it was something just for me. Somewhere along the way, I just stopped doing my nails. I don't know why-just lazy I guess. I will wear it for special occasions, and the last time I wore it-on my wedding day-and yes, it was white. It looked funky at first until I put on my wedding dress and then it looked good. Oh and BTW, my nails are usually on the long side (except when they all start breaking at the same time  >:(  )

Yeah, I wear melons too.  I was going to put that, but couldn't remember the word 'melon'...I kept wanting to call it corals. :D  I won't wear sandals if I'm not properly painted either. 

Once in a while the polish will come off one toe nail and I totally forget about it and leave the house in sandals.  Then while I'm out, I look down and notice the one unpainted toe and spend the rest of my time out trying to figure out how to hide my toes. :D

Okay, there's nothing wrong if you want to wear makeup of any kind (This includes nail polish and piercings, as well), but I personally don't like it. I'd rather people be more comfortable with the way they are without unnatural aid. There's always going to be somebody attracted to you, no matter what you look like. Wouldn't you rather have a boyfriend who's met you without makeup and liked you? I would (Although I'd rather it be a girl and I usually don't wear makeup...)

As for fake nails, though, those just creep me out. Fo' serious.

You see if he likes you all made up and then sees you looking all plain and he still likes you, then it's all good.  What kind of guy would dump you for not looking your best without make up and why would you want to be with a dick like that?

Well, that's my point. It's best to see you how you normally look.

And... armpits unshaved is fine, so long as they don't extend out so that you could see them when their arms are closed...

Well that's all very well if you are a healthy colour naturally. I am very pale, sadly not in a luminous porcelin skin kind of way, but in a desperately ill kind of a way. It gets very tiresome being constantly asked if you are feeling alright because 'you look terrible'. So I wear make up. Also I *like* wearing makeup and there is a very great difference between subtle make up and piling it on with a trowel!

Also give a thought to those people who have bad skin and very little self confidence because of it or have a scar they are self conscious of. If putting on make up makes them feel good and gives them the confindence to go into social situations then who are you or I to tell them not to?


I find hairy armpits gross, but then I find hairy men gross  :P

I see nothing wrong with wearing make-up...just so you don't end up looking like Tammy Faye or something. I mean, there are ways that you can apply it so that it looks very natural, but makes your face look blended well.  I don't wear a whole lot of makeup (just some eyeliner, eye shadow, and a bit of blush or bronzer...and occasionally some tinted lip gloss).

Thumbs up on that.  I think make-up a is fine, but too many are spending too much cosmetics to trying to replicate what is seen on the cover of magazines, that is there by dint of serious amounts of editing and special effects.  I myself wear a bit of lipstick everyday, on special occasions the eyes and a bit of stuff for the face.

It is difficult sometimes, but they are people who will find a reason to stare, laugh, and make nasty comments no matter what you do, and it is not worth anyones time and/or money to try and please them.  If you are going to get dolled up do it because you want to, not because it will make them happy(because nothing you do will).

It is difficult sometimes, but they are people who will find a reason to stare, laugh, and make nasty comments no matter what you do, and it is not worth anyones time and/or money to try and please them.  If you are going to get dolled up do it because you want to, not because it will make them happy(because nothing you do will).
Very true but it's also not always easy to have that much confidence in yourself and ignore other people especially at high school age. What I'm saying is if wearing make up makes someone feel good about themselves so they walk into a situation head held high rather than shuffling in hoping noone will see them I'm all for it. In an ideal world everyone would feel 100% comfortable in their own skins with no need to beautify but sadly this isn't an ideal world.

I hardly ever wear make up, don't pluck my eyebrows, rarely shave my legs or armpits but Dai loves me!




Does Dai like it?




That's great,At least Dai is accepting of who you are. ;)

I don't look on wearing make-up as changing yourself,worn properly it's meant to enhance what you have. It's not easy being your natural self if you are not comfortable in your own skin, if wearing make-up helps you to become comfortable in your own skin what's wrong with that.




As to the eyebrow plucking that's a no from me too.I've seen way too many disasters to risk trying my own. I shave my armpits, but only do my legs in the summer or on a special occasion in the winter.  ;D

I use to have a compulsion of plucking my eyebrows with my fingers out of anxiety and that was painful and then I used to use My Mother's eyebrow liner to cover it so the bald spot wouldn't show much.Damn,That hurt! :(

I agree and same here with the shaving.  I get itchy if I don't shave my armpits.  I do pluck my eyebrows, though, but not too much....just the stray hairs from time to time.
You realize you just opened yourself up for an Andy attack? ;D
Yeah, I did, but I'm still waiting.... :P

I get what you saying Dom,but a lot of women actually want to go through the beauty rituals,i do,i like taking care of my body and look nice,first for me but also for others,who doesn't like to be told "you look good today"?.
So unless you're a movie or tv star with with a pancake face,make-up doesn't hide anything,it enhances what you already have,plus it's fun,playing with colors and styles,when i was a kid i was a total tomboy,so now i'm making up for it,i love being a girl :D

When I hear "You look good today", I think about me looking bad on every other day! And the point I'm making here is not a question of whether or not you like yourself, it's just the fact that people don't like themselves. And they should! But whatever. I don't know.

Okay, there's nothing wrong if you want to wear makeup of any kind (This includes nail polish and piercings, as well), but I personally don't like it. I'd rather people be more comfortable with the way they are without unnatural aid. There's always going to be somebody attracted to you, no matter what you look like. Wouldn't you rather have a boyfriend who's met you without makeup and liked you? I would (Although I'd rather it be a girl and I usually don't wear makeup...)

As for fake nails, though, those just creep me out. Fo' serious.


I met my husband while swimming in the ocean...no make-up, hair was wet, and let's just say I'm no swimsuit model, but he found me attractive anyway. 

I don't wear make-up when I'm at home but I do when I'm going out, not a lot of it though.  I do pluck my eyebrows (because I take after my father and I would have a unibrow), I shave my legs and armpits.  As far a polishing my nails, I hate the way long nails look with out any polish so if I let my nails grow long I polish them.

I don't do these things to please anyone but myself.

I usually wear make-up about once or twice a year and yeah, I love all the compliments I get.  ;)  My theory is if you wear it all the time and the one time you don't, you usually get comments like, "Are you feeling ok?" But if you don't wear it all the time and when you do, you get comments like, "You look great".  :D ;D ;D ;D

As for shaving, I really hate to but do when it is necessary. And yeah, I would rather go with hairy legs than hairy arm pits.  :P Carlos' ex came over one time after just coming from a wedding. She was wearing a sleeveless dress and she didn't shave. It was really nasty.  :P

I do wax my chin & upper lip but REFUSE to have my eyebrows done. I had a friend who was a hair dresser and she always wanted to do my eyebrows but I wouldn't let her touch them.

Well, when I was your age, I learned a very valuable lesson. One day, I saw a man yelling for help. He was saying something about his cat being stuck in a tree. I thought he was lying, so I kind of just blew him off.

... Turns out, he was telling the truth, his cat was stuck in the tree. But just because I blew him off, he came into my house that night and slit my throat.

I guess the moral of this story is - Don't accuse people of lying, or they will cut you.
