I think my first for both was for my wedding and I did it a few times after that, but couldn't part w/the fee to keep up the work. I'd always done them for myself before and don't count that as a needed pleasure; like massages which I also loooooove!<br /><br />I'm quite boring. No designs here and if I were paying for it because it would last longer, then I would probably go w/a color that would cross outfits (sweats, shorts, etc. :) ) and not be loudly offensive.<br /><br />I have a princess and have been <a href="http://www.milkandhoneymommy.com/2009/04/27/pigs-dont-fly/" rel="nofollow">doing her nails</a> using a non-toxic polish (the only way) and for me I'm wearing clear.<br /><br />I sure would love to get my nails done!Milk and Honey Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155906474217382431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-35255906360066850262009-09-12T10:40:56.017-05:002009-09-12T10:40:56.017-05:00I had one manicure and pedicure, 16 years ago, the...I had one manicure and pedicure, 16 years ago, the day before my wedding.

I have had ONE. pedicure in my entire life when I was preggo with Sofia and it ended up making me MORE tense than when it started!!!<br /><br />Now manicures, I love those! They are VERY expensive with my mom's nail gal, but she is sooo goood, but I always end up smudging my nails right out of the gate. Wah. I think having my hands massaged and my arms swathed in warm towels is divine. Maybe I will do this regularly once we get to be millionaires! <br /><br />Your toesies look great.

(I've probably had 10 in my 40+ish years) But they are so delish! I also love massages, and facials too. (I've only ever had one facial in my life) Talk about relaxing... oh yeah! I enjoy a manicure too, but they don't last nearly as long. I would never consider acrylic nails--way to costly to get and to maintain, and from what I understand, they are terrible on your real nails. There's a spa about an hour from me that uses burt's bees and opi nail polishes, it's in a smaller town, so it's less expensive that the big city. I've also gone to beauty schools... not as nice as a spa, but still nice cause I don't have to do all the work. <br />Oh and the spa has an "expresso pedi" where they'll make a starbucks run for your choice while your sitting in the fabulous massage chair soaking your toesies...ahhhhhChristinehttp://www.homeschoolblogger.com/homeskoolmomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-67081750038456735852009-09-11T13:58:06.016-05:002009-09-11T13:58:06.016-05:00I have never had a pedicure, though I did have a m...I have never had a pedicure, though I did have a manicure once (received a gift certificate for my wedding shower).

Whenever my mom and sisters and I are together, we tend to find a salon - wherever we are - and get nails done. We usually do it for weddings or holiday get-togethers. Now we include my 13yo daughter, my adult nieces, and whoever might be visiting. Now, do I like them? Pedi's absolutely! The warm foot bath, the leg massage, a good movie on the tv's, a Starbucks in my hand, ahhh...if only they would give out pints of half-melted Ben & Jerry's, it would be perfect!!Susan {LilbearMe}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17785763534538807918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-11603420039083108932009-09-10T21:14:46.183-05:002009-09-10T21:14:46.183-05:00I would never bother with a manicure – it wouldn&#...I would never bother with a manicure – it wouldn't last until I got to the parking lot — but a couple of summers ago I started getting pedicures, summer months only. I call the ladies where I go "The Van Goghs of Toes" (although not to their faces). They are true artists. There's a book of designs they've done, so I just pick whatever I'm in the mood to try.<br /><br />I only end up getting it done about three times per summer, since it really lasts. I used to only get the toe nails polished (and I'm all about the flowers and swirls, I can do solid myself), but once I decided to try a full pedicure it was so decadent I have to do it every time now. <br /><br />It is one of my few indulgences. One of my best friends and I tend to go together and sit and gab while they're doing it. :-)Dawn Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306262189212440845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-92039666574075428922009-09-10T17:24:55.664-05:002009-09-10T17:24:55.664-05:00I am such a mani/pedi girl it's not even funny...I am such a mani/pedi girl it's not even funny.

I thought I was set for life until my husband told me he would probably like me with no gray.
