Girl dad. It's not hard to understand

Moreover, one fan had a hilarious response as he thought that Ronaldo’s girlfriend is the person behind the nailpolish.
Georgina’s hand work. Without a doubt’

However, there were fans of the sport that might be coming up with the correct answer. They even bashed the trolls that made fun of the soccer legend.
It's proof that you've never kicked a ball. The shoes damage the toenails and some players use this technique to protect their nails during this enduring sport. Look at my profile if you want i know what im talking about.

Similarly, another fan cited the same reason.
Could also be because he wears to small of boots. At one time it was reported he wears two sizes to small for a better touch. I used to get horrible black bruises on my toes playing goalkeeper.
