Do you paint you nails? If so, what color?

I can’t keep a manicure because I never use rubber gloves for dishweshing and other housework–I have to “feel” the dirt. Plus the few times I’ve been to a nail salon I’ve been both terribly bored and driven to distraction by all the Korean chatter going on around me. H hates nail polish (I think a lot of men feel that way), so he’s happy with my choice. In the summer I do my own pedicures (in front of the TV) because as I’ve gotten older my unadorned toes look less and less attractive. I may not get as perfect a result as a professional would, but it’s not like anyone is looking that closely at my feet–at least I hope not! I stick to the pink family, from deep to pastel, depending on my mood. I hate the look of black or other dark colors–they always makes me think of a mechanic’s grimy nails.
