My wife is dumping a lot of old magazines and I found an article in a July, 2005 issue of Vogue magazine. There was a quote by a pedicurist named Bastien Gonzales who said, "It is much more elegant to have naked nails. Bare, Polish-free toenails is the latest trend in foot fashion." Tis guy apparently does the nails of "The Rich and Famous!"
I like them both ways (painted and naked) but I know many of you guys want polish only. Any of you noticing the trend?

Thankfully I haven't noticed it becoming a trend or anything like that and with a little luck I never will. Polish-free toenails are definitely not my cup of tea since vibrant nailpolish colors account for a monumental part of my comprehensive foot fetish. Bastien Gonzales may find naked nails to be elegant, but I personally find them completely devoid of sex appeal.

I haven't really noticed it but I hope it doesn't become a trend because I hate the polish free look.

Though I do like feet without polish and would never turn down a pair if they didn't have polish on them, I do have a preference for polished toenails. I like seeing all those vibrant colors on women's toes as well. Hopefully, this "fashion trend" won't catch on among anyone besides the "rich and famous".

There are no absolutes since this whole thing is as subjective as it is, but I'd say that nailpolish is a tool which can sometimes be absolutely crucial to the perceived degree of sex appeal that a woman's feet may elicit. The vibrant colors of nailpolish that I'm attracted to operate on as much of a psychological level for me as they do on a physical one. I admit that an incredibly shapely pair of feet with exquisite nail beds in immaculate condition may not necessarily need nailpolish in order to satisfy my visual cravings on a sexual level, but I've no doubt in my mind that adding nailpolish to those same feet would amplify my interest far beyond. Similarly, a gal with less than stellar feet can often use nailpolish as a means of making her feet far more appealing than they otherwise would have been. We've so often seen gals both in the celebrity world & elsewhere whose feet have been "saved" by the presence of nailpolish in particular photos or on particular occasions. Some folks out there prefer natural nails and I say more power to them. For me though, nailpolish makes for a win-win situation all around.

I'm sure that I'd still prefer the polished nails after doing an A/B comparison, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't still have a big ol' smile on my face from looking at the other pics of your sexy tootsies as well, Elz. All pictures of your sweet feet are welcome in my mailbox anytime!

On the whole, I'll always like painted toes better. But there are certain situations where I do like unpainted.

I can live with it once in a while, but as a general rule, I refuse to date woman who never polishes her toenails. Therefore, I hope the polish-free look does not become a trend.

I agree, though most of the time I would express a strong preference for polished toes- a beautiful foot (sans polished toes) is a beautiful foot. The nail polish is an addition that just makes their feet and toes REALLY catch our attention. I tend to accept and not be put off by non-polished toes on darkly tanned caucasians or dark skinned gals (like Latinos). To me, their dark skin or tan helps "bring out" even plain, non-polished toes.
