I do my own. I used to get them done but the adhd and dythskenisia make it so hard not to fidget and all I could think of was when it was gonna be done. Plus I started to get grossed out of what must be underneath because I have seen some looking gross. I have a huge nail kit and the great part is none of the stuff is expensive. Nearly all of it is fast/speed dry so I have a chance at not messing it up and every one gets a glitter top coat or polka dots, confetti, etc. The best way to hide imperfections is to smother it in some kind of glitter or textured top coat. I love fast dry by wet n wild and I have some gel polishes from them as well as Sally hanson. I got my cuticle nippers at Sally Beauty supply and I order my nail polish remover cups off amazon. I have a corrector stick for small mess-ups and always use a gel clear coat. I found my favorite file by Revlon. I guess I got way to excited over this topic!

Oooooo, pedicures are the best! My nail place has a youngish man who does them for $20. He’s a little remote, so its not creepy.
I would love to have acrylic nails again but they make your real nails weak and I do water aerobics now and that would ruin them. __________________ Bipolar 2 with anxious distress mixed states & rapid cycling under severe stress tegretol 200 mg wellbutrin 75 mg, cut in half or higher dose as needed Regular aerobic exercise SKILLSET/KNOWLEDGE BASE: Family Medical Advocate Masters in Library Science Multiple Subject Teaching Credential-15 yrs in public schools |

I LOVE having my nails done! But I do it rarely. i think i feel bad spending money on it. Though that's not a judgment....I think it's just because my mother never had her nails done when I was growing up and she was my female role model. But when I am invited to a wedding or other special occasion, I get my nails done for a treat....really completes the look. And it looks SO much better than when i do it. Pedicures are the stuff of heaven on earth. You've swayed me RV
![]() Blue you said....fantastic! I've seen women with that color, very striking! On my toe nails, I like a nice deep purple. Looks cool on finger nails but I never do both, one or the other, or french manicure on fingers and color on toes. Great thread! ![]() |

I've had them done, but they break so easily that's it's too much of an ordeal to keep having them redone.
Anybody do french nails? |
