Fashion Friday: Summer Shoes To Hide Non (or Self) Pedicured Toes
I for one am super missing being able to get a quick pedicure right now. Being 9 months pregnant made giving myself a pedicure last weekend a real challenge. And a couple of you mentioned the same issue, as well as wanting to find some summer shoes that can hide either un-manicured feet or poorly painted toes :) So I rounded up some great sneakers, espadrilles and sandals that help conceal your toes (a little or a lot). My tips- when buying sandals looks for one with thicker toes straps that show only a few toes or ones with bows and embellishments that go over the toes a bit. Classic white sneakers look great with shorts, dresses and jeans, as do espadrilles- and both really cover up your toes.
If you DO want to do your own toes, which most of us have caved and done, I recommend a nude/ neutral polish so your toes look finished and clean but mistakes are not visible. If you can, also look for a fast dry polish so you don’t have to sit around and wait for them to dry. I almost always have bright red polish on my toes inthe summer, so this is a bit strange for me, but I’m kind of liking the subtle/ sandy vibe.
Have a great long weekend everyone! Stay safe, stay home!

Those leopard sandals are so you! Love them.
I just discovered Statc nail polish. I never do manicures because It only lasts a day until I chip it. I used a base coat, 2 polish coats and a top coat. It lasted 8 days! Even with house cleaning, cooking, hard yard work! (Wearing gloves) I will be doing my toes this weekend.
I’m going to try this polish! And also adding a couple of these cute shoes to my cart.
Now Erin, could you do a roundup of cute hats for those of us who haven’t been able to go to the salon? Oh, the things we used to take for granted…
I always do my own pedicures, which look just fine. I file my nails to create an attractive shape, Useand then apply the polish. Don’t forget to separate your toes somehow to make polishing easier. Even paper towels, rolled into strips will work in a pinch. Use strips of the towels about 4 inches wide, folded smaller. Weave them around your toes. Apply a coat of clear undercoat, two coats of polish, and a clear finishing coat. Follow with a coat of liquid fast dry to shorten drying time. You can clean up drips with Q-tips dipped in polish remover. Good luck, everyone!
