What Is Your Manicure/pedicure Routine?

Also, what are you currently wearing?

Pictures are welcomed.

I don't anything. I just wash my hands and nails. Then apply a base coat, the nail polish of my choice, and then a top coat. Currently, I'm wearing three different nail polishes, all from Zoya. All three are on my fingernails. The three nail polishes are called Amy, Faye, and Giovanna. I'm not wearing anything on my toes.

fingernails i just generally chew off


ha..you asked

 

I should have been sexist and requested only the ladies.

 

I keep them filed short, cant stand long nails. I use one of those multi sided files that buffs, shines, etc. Then I apply almond oil to the cuticle, then two coats of color and one coat of gel top coat.

I really like neutral coloes right now, browns and nudes and what not

I just trim and paint my toenails every couple of months, they grow slow and the paint never chips. I have this weird thing about my toenails being touched, it grosses me out.so I never get professional pedicures or anything

 

Apparently, using those 2 or 4-sided buffers are bad for your nails because it weakens and breaks them.

And my nails grow fast, but I... too prefer short nails. Long nails kind of look creepy and whenever I see someone on Youtube with long nails, their nails are in really bad shape. For example, they're yellowed, brittled, etc. I don't see the point in having long nails if they're not in good condition. Yea, you can paint over them, and no one will be the wiser. But, still.

I get so ticklish whenever I get my toes done by a professional. I actually tell the person to skip that part.

 

I'm a manicurist, so I redo my nails quite often. Usually at work during slow times.

 

I file my fingernails down when they're getting long or sharp and paint them when I can.

 

I keep mine short as I type a lot work and wear contacts. Plus, I cook a lot and take it pretty seriously. Long nails just aren't for me or my lifestyle, but I have a nail kit, all kinds of polish, hand and foot masks, that file thingy for the dead skin on your feet, and, of course, a footbath, so I don't go out for manis or pedis. I just do them at home, usually with a glass of wine and a PWHL game

EDIT: oh yeah, wearing some magenta Sally Hansen cheapo nail polish and a Maybelline top coat
