The first manicure I ever had definitely wasn’t the greatest. I wasn’t very impressed with the work which was done. My second manicure the manicurist got on my nerves telling me my nail on my baby finger was crooked (very slightly and the only one who would notice would be a manicurist) and I should get a tip to put over it. I would tell her know and she was very persistant. Now I know better, she just wanted to make more money. LOL! But I refuse to get false nails because they ruin your real nail beds. Besides my fingernails grow very long on their own.
Since then I very rarely get my nails done. Besides I work with lots of paper and boxes and my cuticles are very bad. Manicurists always mention it too. Besides paying someone to just paint my nails seems a bit excessive (I’m cheap if you haven’t noticed). But I do like to treat myself at times.
The picture above is of my latest manicure. I really loved the color! But here’s my question to you folks out there. How do you prevent this?
Three chipped and peeled off polished nails after two days! TWO DAYS! I was very upset by this! I must say the first day I did end up with a dent in my nails soon after I left the shop to run my errands. I guess my nails weren’t as dry as I thought.
So what do you do to keep your nails from doing this? Do you apply clear polish over them often or what? I really would love to know! Otherwise I might need to rethink manicures and just stick to pedicures. Those last much longer for me. They really do!
How long do your manicures last? Any help would be appreciated…
