    I do not bite my finger or toe nails. I do not bite my pens either. So, I guess they match.
    If you mean nail polish matching my pens, I'm not that kind of guy.

    Neon lime polish will be easy to find...IF it's summer.

    I can see this is going to morph into a girly-squee nail polish thread. And I am all for it.

    If you carry two or more different color pens, I guess you would have to alternate fingernail colors. Or, if you are boring, just carry one color pen. I'm surprised there are no color coordinated photos....

    Great, now you've got my imagination going. >___>

    The most work I've ever put into doing my nails was this, but I bet there could be some pretty interesting pairings, especially around the pens with more interesting finishes.

    If only I could find a pen that matched that. >___>

    I think matching some of the crazy sparkly maki-e pens could be cool. But I have no such pen, and buying one for my nails is... not in budget.

    I haven't found an ink that is exactly the shade of purple I like to use on my nails, but I'm still looking...

    I carry 12 pens and last time I checked I only have 10 fingers; good thing I don't paint my nails.
