If going to a nice event, do you match fingernails and toenails?

We have a fundraiser for DD's school tomorrow - cocktail dress attire. I am wearing strappy sandals and am going to have a mani/pedi today. I like a French manicure on my fingernails, but not on my toenails. I don't really want color on my fingernails, but prefer color on my toenails. Is it really a fashion faux pas to have my fingernails not match my toenails?

I'm thinking a French manicure looks more natural, so it would be OK to put color on my toes?

Edited to clarify: I don't want two different colors - just French on fingers, color on toes.

yes!!! I wouldn't do two different colors (fingers and toes) but I think a french on hands and color on toes is fine. I see people doing it all the time.

French mani and color on toes is fine. There's something about french on toes that just looks weird to me.

Yes! I always put a color on my toes and an neutral/nude on my hands.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so!

I never match my toes and hands. I like a neutral on the hands and a color that pops on the toes. I am not a fan of a french manicure on the toenails. I like toenails that are cut short, so I don't like the emphasis on the white toenail. So I think your idea of a french manicure on your hands and a color on your toes sounds great.

I thought toes and fingers aren't "supposed" to match anyway. I swear I've read that in fashion mags. I never get manis, because my fingernails are short and weak, best not to draw any attention to those.

Nope. They are in 2 different parts of the body. I aim for the fingers to look good with the outfit or a neutral like a french manicure. Toenails? Whatever color I am drawn to.
