OMG--I can't believeI'm the first one answering this because--I never get manicures! :icon_eek: I know, I'm a complete freak, so my answer doesn't really count. Actually, my younger sister gives them to me maybe every six weeks, if she's impatient enough with me, but for the most part--I just cut and file my own nails and occasionally paint them--by myself.My rather dreadful next door neighbor "can't function" w/out her weekly manicure, and when I told her I never got them,she simply didn't believe me. She is a complete snob & I realized she thought I was ashamed of where I went to get them done! (She goes somewhere in Beverly Hills,as she proudly tells anyone who doesn't ask, including me. As if there's some visible difference!)
