What do you do with your nails?

I don't know of many moms with nice nails, unless they have the money to go to a salon.
Mine are typically left to their own devices, but once in a great while I will file and paint them. It's not often though.

im semi obsessive with mine.. but like you, i do them myself. only colors i use on em tho are clear and sometimes black. i DO however love putting designs on mine too. but only one, the pinky nail on my right hand gets done up. i got tired of trying to paint withmy left hand tho.. so when i do get creative with it now, i usually just fuse something to the nail.. a silver star.. a cresent moon.. a little kitten.. and then put the clear polish over it to seal it in. those shaped glitter things are awesome for it.

Hi there gemini, I actually don't manicure..I cut them every week and clean but not applying any color on it...If ever I need to attend special occasion, I will just use colorless to enhance a little bit..I admire women who can do it but for me, my nails will die easily if I will put some colors! Not very healthy! So, I just love to be in natural~

There was a time when I had quite a collection of nail polishes. The colors ranged from deep red to purple or blue. My nails were long and well kept. As I sit and admire my long nails now I know that I will soon need to cut them back. Long nails in my line of work are frowned upon. But, until the time when I need to get out those clippers I sit and admire them. I do not polish them as I prefer to have them as they are. The polish would flake off too soon after applying. Not worth the effort. I do occasionally polish them with clear polish to add shine to them.

I do my own nails and they do grow really well.. I have to file them to keep them within a normal usable range.. I do love the longer nails but not so long that I can't work with them, I guess you could call it a sensible length.. I also polish them but not as often as I need to.. I try not to let them get so chipped that they look bad.. My toenails are kept the same color.. I like my toenails filed short also.. I did use to do a lot more with my nails but those days are over, just enough to keep them neat and clean and looking nice.. I have also never been to a nail salon.. The fanciest that I have ever really gotten lately is the French manicure..

Even though i'm really young to most practically 21! I don't find much time at all anymore to polish my nails. Before motherhood I really used to spend alot of time decorating them. Although I must say Gemimirose that I don't think I was as good as it as you may have been. I could never really get the polish to last on my fingernails for long however. Do you know any good brands?

I have never had the time to take care of my fingernails. They are so brittle and chip and break off anyway. the only thing I have ever done with mine, is paint them and file them. My daughter goes and gets her nails manicured though. She also gets some tips put on and some decorations. I work too much to have nice nails.

I wasn't much into painting my nails because it would always get chipped off. I did see a manicurist and had my nails done with fake ones but that got to be tiring because I could only do so much with them being, well, sort of long. Besides, I don't like the pampering stuff. I'm more of a tom boy type with a feminine body. lol

That is a treat I give myself at least once a month. I walk on down to the nearest nail salon and get myself a manicure and pedicure. I never use to before I moved to USA though. My nails were always short because I played sports, even in Summer. My friends and I would paint them once in a while but not that often. I think I have just one nail polish bottle in our bathroom lol

I used to be a nail picker, but now I trim my nails when they need to be trimmed. I am letting my nails grow out.
