I have acrylic nails...so every 2-3 weeks I get them infilled. Though I don't pay anymore, I get them done from one of my girls from college, we fill each others nails and give each other pedis as well.
depends...and i'm too lazy to do the whole procedure!! i usually do it myself,like about every 2 weeks but when i feel like to be pampered,then i go to the beauty parlour (that's what you call here!).
i do my own and only get a manicure every few years when my nails are not breaking, when none of them have broken. other than ~that~ i do my nails 2 or 3 times a month and my toes to match.
tip: you must let your nails "breathe" for at least 3 days in between paintings or they will be much more fragile and break easier. when you remove your nail polish, do scrub your nails with a brush to keep em extra clean and to NOT let the polish remover set into your nails for that makes them brittle too.
I have been doing my nails since I was 10, the only reason I can't be paid to do "yours" is because I don't have a certificate. It's tough and painstaking work 4 me because my hands are a bit shaky. I'd probabl;y do okay doing your acrylics but i haven't practiced ding acrylics yet so I would be slow but meticluous.
I have the konad nail stamping kit, its awesome! you can find some on ebay....
I'm thinking about going to school to be a manicurist because it will be a quick, cheap trade school and i can do it to make money while i find a way to go to a real college. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I get a pedicure and gel fill every other week. Each time I get them done I get a new design on my nails and toe nails. Its fun and I get a lot of compliments on both where ever I go
I have not taken care of my feet properly when I was younger and since starting on the pedicures every other week (two years ago) my feet look great and so do my toenails. And the half hour massage feels wonderful
