When Was The Last Time You Had A Manicure?

A friend did a manicure for me when she was training as a beautician many years ago, it took ages and I hated it so I've never had one since, I always file or cut my nails when needed, use hand cream every day and paint my nails a couple of times a week
 

I’ve only had a few manicures in my life and they were due to weddings. All the bridesmaids matching up type deal. Ugly matching dresses. You know what I’m talking about :waiting: otherwise I do my own nails. I’m a big fan of coloured nails. Blues, pinks, purples, turquoise ... yep, I’m a girly girl. :bowknot:

Painted toe nails during the summer is mega cute. I love matching nails.One if the simple joys in life.
My latest manicure was last Saturday. I’ve got blue nails right now.
 
Those people are getting what they want. Attention. Weird way but effective. Personal appearance like shaved head & manicured nails are natural to me. My wife enjoys her hair stylist & spa days. I think most like my wife & me don't need attention in strange ways. More common than long nails, tattoos that once looked OK on firm skin take on a whole different look with wrinkled saggy skin.

Keesha with blue nails what kind of matching accessories are needed?

I can still do my own feet, but I keep promising myself a pedicure...never had one! My daughter has them all the time, she's constantly in flip flops or in the winter heavy mountain boots.. so her feet take a lot of stress!
 
I had a pedicure for my vacation one year.

I saw the most beautiful feet a few years ago! Now, I don't bother looking at anyone's feet, or their shoes but in this case, I couldn't help it.

We were in some lounge and a lady across had these feet that were done up with a silvery mid-tone blue, iridescent polish. Like blue mirrors. She had some silver toe rings and a silver ankle bracelet on one leg. She had on those clear, rubbery sandals that were called "Jellies" back then, and a gauzy white skirt.

Have no idea, what her face looked like, just those feet!

Not feet but same effect when I see Dolly Parton.

Matching accessories are in the hair . There’s matching scunchies and matching hair toys like barrettes, hair sticks, forks etc.
I’ll make these thumbnails pics so to not monopolize the thread. Lol 3030BDAD-EC22-45A1-AA24-9B848BAAD9B2.jpeg583B720D-FF0F-459B-ABE9-7D2779A466EE.jpeg3B5067CE-4BB8-44EE-A85A-7D36A807E0DC.jpegC932499A-F32F-4D09-B3BA-C77553A6AA33.jpeg27FD2456-5038-4181-A84E-A0BA0117B039.jpeg
 
Thanks for the info, that should save me tons of money now that I'll be able to explain to my wife, less is better when accessorizing. Not that she will believe it but I can try.

Hahaha. Well I make my own hair accessories so it doesn’t cost me much and it makes ME happy.
You know the saying; happy wife , happy life 😉😅
 
I occasionally watch a Youtube channel called The Meticulous Manicurist. I am amazed at how truly gross some people's feet/toenails are. If I had to work on those I'd be wearing a hazmat suit.

I do my own manicure/pedicures. I like painted toenails and pretty feet. Back in the '90s I tried the acrylic nails or whatever they were called, but I didn't care for the fake look and ended up pulling them off. It took several months for my natural nails to recover from that. :mad:
 
I've never had a manicure. And until three or four years ago I had never had a pedicure. My gradson took me the first time. He treated me and six of the gals. Since then I've gotten one about every three months. I can't cut my toe nails any longer and a pedicure does the trick. But, I wouldn't rule a manicure out.
 
I've never had a manicure. I simply cannot grow long enough fingernails to look good painted.

I've had two pedicures and the second one gave me toenail fungus, which took strong measures to cure.

Of course, the little 'uns like to play "beauty shop" and paint my nails and toes. That usually results in polish up to the first knuckle, of course. Thank goodness for polish remover.
