Everything looks like a nail

Oct 15, 2019 16:10

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been really hard on my feet. Played all kinds of sports, but figure skating was particularly hard, especially since I rarely wore socks or stockings. My callouses had callouses, and for years afterwards, I had scars from the cuts my feet would get from being in hard skate boots unprotected for hours on end ( Read more... )

I love getting pedicures, I probably get one every 2-3 months.
I do my own manis (I’m a Jamberry consultant part time - feel free to message me if you want info) so although I keep my nails medium short they always look pretty and presentable.

Luckily, I have pretty nice hands, so not getting a mani isn't usually an issue.

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

Pedicures have saved my belly dancer feet, too!

I DO wear socks, but I blister easily and most shoes rub or cause some kind of pain, so my feet go through much of the same grief yours do. I've had one pedicure, and it was amazing, and if I ever made the time for them I would probably fnd them addictive!

But manicures would be wasted on me, too. I use my hands as actual hands, you know? They're not just decorations on the ends of my arms... ;)

i'm absolutely the wrong person for manicures because i bite my nails, but pedicures are great. (not that i go often. i think i've had two in the past three years.) this is such a self-pampering post, i love it. seriously. manon and stef sound like very dedicated, very skilled people, and your feet are probably lucky to have them.

and i had no idea that calluses were white even on people of color! you learn something new every day.
