Me toooooo! I love how chill and relaxing it is to go for a nice pedi at my amazing local nail salon and not have to do nails. I sit in the chair, do the massage, it’s the best. Nails are natural, they grow well and sometimes I use a whitening pencil and coat of Mademoiselle at home.

What color?

#1 or #4 or the pink Illuminating Nail Concealer. 1 coat for a tidy look, 2 coats for more of a nail polish look.

Thanks!

54. Watch those women wasting all that time with gel manicures and destroying nail bed when I get my pedicure. No way. I always kept short, bare fingernails. Grossed out by long nails— unhygienic.

I watched my mother go through months and months of babying her nail beds that were jacked up after years of acrylics. It took so long for her natural nails to recover. She's happy to be out of the vicious cycle.

Same!

Keep short, trimmed bare nails.

Always get pedicures though

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm always looking for sheer colors

what is a nail veil? Looking it up.
I always have bare nails barring special occasions. I still get manicures and pedicures occasionally, mostly for nail shaping. Minimal cuticle work , but I let them go to town on my calluses with the file. I'm 50 and my natural nails on my hands and feet look great. Once caveat--I started to get a bump on my thumbnail that I think was from overbuffing (instead of polishing) so now I ask them to lightly buff, or not at all. It grew out.
Natural can look and feel...amazing.

Pedi only for me

I always have bare fingernails. I only do pedicures in the summer.

I have bare fingernails but always do toes.
