I have a "funky" toenail since it never grew back right...I always keep it painted and go a little heavy so at first some of my toe is painted. I have also painted the nail bed (before toenail grew in). It did ok. No one seems to notice if they don't get their face down to your toes. Thank goodness for nail polish! I wore it all the time before I started running and it is a must to make toes (toe nails) presentable now!
