Title: Mani /Pedi
Post by: Dawn Kellie on January 24, 2026, 05:28:51 PM
What is everyone doing for mani /pedis right now?
I have gone with a glittery deep red on my toes and clear matte on my hands, but have glitter on my pinkies. I work blue collar and somethings don't work yet.

I go with Essie buns up when I get my pedicures. I do switch it up periodically when I get bored of buns up. I don't get manicures as my hands get beat up at work.

Sadly, Life just isn't allowing such luxuries right now, too much going on. When it does I love bright and bold colors.

I love being able to go with my wife and getting our nails done. I let her pick the colors. Feels a lot like a girls day

My job means I constantly damage my nails. Have considered using acrylic nails but not tried yet. In the summer I might do my toe nails. Only problem is my second toe overlaps my big toe from ill fitting shoes as a kid.

I work maintenance in a production facility. Keeping my nail neat and clean is difficult.  A matte gel polish works great and gives my nails some strength. With the glitter on my pinkies is a fun touch

My cousin took me with her to get a pedicure a few years ago. I was joking with her about getting color on my toes, and she said to go for it. My toenails have been painted ever since. We got Starbucks afterwards. It was my first girls day.

My first time was with my daughters. My youngest asked if she could pick a color. On the outside I was "I don't know". Inside i was all giddy and happy to do it. I have left it on since

Lavender/pink glitter leftover New Years.  Deep red glitter for XMAS.  My next nail appointment is tomorrow and I have NO idea what color it will be.  Spur of the moment works.
