I prefer lighter shades on my finger nails and darker shades on my toes. Please qualify your answer with why.

"Deep in thought" is correct in saying that for formal functions, that your fingers and toes should match, especially if you have open toed shoes. Other wise any colours you wish is fine.
I saw a sales assistant with I think it was black nail polish on her toes, and bright red on her finger nails, but the tips were painted black, look rather trendy.

Matching fingernail and toenail polish is a big no-no in my opinion. Most magazines (such as Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Allure...) agree. If fingernails are short, bright or dark colors are perfectly fine--but if they are long then it just looks tacky. So, keep long fingernails a neutral or pale shade--or do a french manicure. On toenails, anything goes. Right now I have my toes painted metallic orange-red and my fingers are pale, shimmery pink. The colors should compliment each other, but not match.

No. Because this is the USA and you can wear whatever color you want wherever you want to wear it.
My nail polish on my hands is changed every week. The polish on my toes only gets changed once a month (or so). I figure if you're down there noticing that I touched it up instead of re-doing the polish, then you see what you see, get over it and get a life.

Brighter, more vivid shades look best on toes.
Lighter shades look best on fingernails.
If you wear a neutral on your fingernails, you can pair any color on your toes. If you choose a more vivid color, the same should be used on your toes, or at least stay within the same color family...i.e. pinks, corals, reds, etc

They are your nails...you can do whatever you want to them:) I tend to usually do the same though lighter colors or french manicure on my fingers and darker colors on my toes.

No, you don't. I once read in a magazine that these guys thought it was sexy when this woman was wearing a light, demure color on her nails but bright red on her toes. It's like the naughty librarian appeal - proper at first glance but passionate underneath.

I go clear on my hands and dark on my toes because that's what I like!
My nails on my hands get chipped too easily with all the typing and farm-work that I do... but I love wearing open-toed shoes and I don't like the way my toes look when they aren't painted. :-D
Go with what you prefer-- that way you'll be comfortable. And being comfortable in how you look is what its all about!!

No but it looks best when the two colours compliment each other. I tend to use a bright color on my toes for open toe shoes. I use a more nuetral color on my hands so it will match more things I wear.

As a guy... I like no polish or a pastel with a design on the pinky finger with only the color on the rest....Any reds ,blues or oranges on the toes...but if you wear sandals or flip flops they should match your fingers base color.
