" In all my time at my local mani/pedi place, I can&amp;amp;#8217;t say that I&amp;amp;#8217;ve ever seen anyone asking for acrylic toenails. But apparently, there is a demand for falsies for your feet, because they now come in a handy DIY kit. The first time I saw these little things I thought probably you&amp;amp;#8217;re thinking now&amp;amp;#8212;&amp;amp;#8220;Um, fake toenails???? Seriously?&amp;amp;#8221; But before you roll your eyes and move on, over the weekend I thought of a time when a set would be really great to have on-hand&amp;amp;#133; You see, the New York City Marathon was Sunday and it always brings the topic of bruised toenails to my mind. Not to squick you out or anything, but what happens in that your nail becomes black and blue from all the pressure and friction on your feet while running. Often, it eventually falls off and then it can take several months to grow back. I know&amp;amp;#8212;ewwwww. But popping on one of these little guys would be a great fix during that awkward no-toenail phase, no? And, now that I&amp;amp;#8217;ve started thinking about it, the ideas of when these would come in handy are pouring in. Like if you have a stubborn nail fungus (Ok, this post is getting really gross&amp;amp;#8212;sorry!) and you&amp;amp;#8217;ve got a big occasion where you want to wear open-toed shoes. Or for covering up that one wonky toenail you&amp;amp;#8217;ve always hated. And maybe, just maybe, some of you are dying to go for the whole set. So maybe they&amp;amp;#8217;re not so &amp;amp;#8220;out-there&amp;amp;#8221; after all. What&amp;amp;#8217;s your take? Is this idea just too bizarre? Do you kind of want to try them? Have you ever had fake toenails? And have you ever had fake fingernails? And if you&amp;#x27;re interested, you can read all about them at the Kiss site.
