Trouble TTC

Manis and pedis

Do you do them yourself or do you go get them done? How often?

Re: Manis and pedis

  • Normally do them myself.  I did get a mani/pedi done on Friday because I had a gift certificate to this one place.  The pedi was great, but the french manicure was mediocre.  It started chipping in only a few days.

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

    I rarely go to a salon, usually for an event. Normally I go with buff and clear and if I use color I take it off after 3 days, especially on my fingers.

    L&R, I can't stand the chipping and like clean nails for cooking. But I feel boring.

  • Ok when I use to make bank I got a mani and pedi done 1 time every 2 weeks. Embarrassed So I love getting them done. Now that I make close to nothing I do them myself unless MH pays for them. I know I am spoiled and it's bad.

  • Oh, yes please! Big Smile

    I always ask for a gift card for a pedicure for Christmas, I like to get one done in the spring to take away the "winter foot look". If I can justify spending money for another one I'll get it done otherwise I'll do them myself and upkeep every couple of weeks.

    We are on a tight budget these days, but I have to admit a pedicure is my favorite thing in the world. I love going to this nice spa in town - they give you a hot herbal neck thing and a foot massage and it's heaven.

    I don't do it often at all, but sometimes when I really, really need a pick me up, we fit it in.

  • I get them done, about every 2-3 weeks.

  • I used to get a pedi every 2-3 weeks, but now it's more like once a month. I hardly ever get a mani because I'm weird and I don't like polish on my finger nails. It actually makes my palms sweaty if you can believe it. yuck. So, if anything I'll get one coat of a very pale pink, and just for special occasions.

    I have pink & whites that I get filled ever 2-3 weeks. I was getting pedis too, but back in November I bruised my big toenail. It basically fell off and I am still working on growing it out.

    Lolo, back in the late 80's when red nail polish and red lipstick were in, I used to paint my nails red and take it off the next day. I just couldn't stand it, but I love how it looks on other people.
    I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    This made me cringe! I hope it grows back soon!

    haha. Yeah, colored nailpolish just chips too easily and my nails grow soooo fast, so it's pointless to paint them. My toes are a different story though. I love trying different colors.. & my fave is bright pink. :)

  • Manis I do myself because I can't wear polish at work, so I can't justify paying for one.

    Pedis...it depends on my mood. I usually have one done twice a year and do them myself in between.

    This is about right for me too but I usually start my monthly pedis in March.

    Yup.  After 20+ years of acrylic fills every two weeks and pedis once a month. I now do my own hands and treat myself to a pedi once every 3 or so months.  The last one I got was a major disappointment (I had a gc) and I wish I could go again sooner.

  • Manis I get done every now and then. We just bought a house, so I have been getting the manis done because of all the house work we have been doing. Pedis I get every 2-3 weeks. I LOVE pedis!!! I will eventually go back to pink and white and will have to go back every 2 weeks for a refill.
