I almost never bother painting my fingernails, as I find that it lifts straight off as soon as I wash my hair and my hair ends up getting snagged in the polish shards! Ouch!!!

However, I love painting my toenails
, as if you do it well, it looks good and lasts for weeks!!!
At the moment I'm into red polish and can't recommend Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer, in Jungle Red, highly enough!
Jungle Red is one of those universally flattering colours that would look good on virtually all skintones (not too orange, or blue).
Also, the polish consistency is great, it lasts well (I find some nail polishes 'go off' after one or two uses) and
genuinely covers, evenly, in one coat.
Finally, I know this is slightly off-topic but I also highly recommend; Creative Nail Design's 'Stickey' base coat, 'Super Shiney' high gloss top coat and 'Solar Speed Spray' (which not only speeds up the drying process, but also prevents dog hairs sticking to my newly painted toes!
).
