...when they're related to sports that is...
So I've been wearing Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Lime Lights. Didn't really like it at first, and I'm still not a huge fan, but apparently, when you paint your nails a color that matches the mats, guys notice. From "nice nails!" to "pretty green nails!", the pastel take on our mat borders have been a hit.
"Did you paint your nails to match the mats?!"
"Yeah!!"
"Really??"
"...no."
I was around push-up number 20 today, stationed next to one of the kids who'd noticed I'd changed my color to a less respectable cafe au lait color.
"Why don't you have the green anymore??"
"Gotta keep things exciting."
"Awww."
I should totally start a line of BJJ themed polishes...Garish Gi White...Black and Blue Bombshell...Mat Burnt Umber...Ringwo...I'll stop now.

The week after I got my blue belt, I painted my toenails a matching royal blue. Everybody noticed.
I once painted my toenails a metallic silver so that they looked like chrome. A guy accused me of trying to distract everybody by blinding them with my toenails, so that I could grab for a sub.
I don't bother very often. After just one class, there's always a line worn right down the center of my big toenail where half the color's worn off from rubbing on the mat. Fingernail polish wouldn't last 3 min on my hands.
My teammate Sanya and I were also talking about school logos on our toes.
HAHAHAHA That's awesome!
It's so sad, every time I get a pedicure, within 12 hours my big toes have a half-moon-shaped spot on the tips where the mats have worn off the polish. It's a "grappler's pedicure."
lol@ Savage...TOTALLY going to do that when I hit blue
@Jennifer...that's kinda cute. Isn't your logo a little complex?
@ Georgette, I've only found two brands that don't IMMEDIATELY chip/rub off. The Sally Hansen brand that I just mentioned and OPI, but I use them with CND base and top coats, which get me through 2-3 training sessions ok. Not great...but ok.
I ruined my first pedicure on the mat this winter. Thanks for attending to all my BJJ needs with your helpful product suggestions!
