Since I only crossdress from the waist down, I always wear women's low heel sandals and red nail polish on my toenails. I live in a warm climate and my toes are always on display on women's sandals. I get a professional pedicure every two weeks and my toenails are alway some pretty shade of red. I get many compliments from women on my toenail polish and pedicures. It feels so good to get these compliments from women. It is also fun to compare toenail polish with women and talk about nail polish brands and colors. When I am feeling extra fem, I have the nail tech paint little white dasies on my big toenails. It is really pretty with the red polish. All of my friends accept this a part of who I am. It is really no different than men wearing earrings 10 years ago before it was so acceptable.
I have also found that by allowing myself this freedom, I feel very at peace with myself and relaxed. It is really satisfying to the fem side of my personality to look down and see 10 pretty red toenails in womens sandals and also knowing that they are on display for everyone to see. Also, when I am with women it makes me feel much more like them because red toenails are such a girl-thing.
My red toenails have become very natural for me and I would never consider wearing open toe sandals without a good professional pedicure and red nail polish on my toes.
Girls, if you havent considered allowing yourself this freedom in drab mode I would suggest that you do it. It is so phychologically rewarding.
