I just do it myself. I keep my nails short as its quite hard to type on my keyboard with long nails.lol! I use to paint my nails as well, and make some designs using gel pens, but now, I find it too much of a bother to continue doing it.

Here in the Philippines, I usually do my nails at Tips n Toes. The best nail salon I ever tried here in our country. I love french nails with a natural pink base and I want the tips arched perfectly. Also do an alternate color after that of either bloddy red or classic dark red. I used to do airbrush polish in the States when I did gel nails. They last longer and are definitely better than acrylics.

i do my nailpolishing stuff.before i used to go to a parlor and make my nails. my nails are one of my very favorite part inmy body so i make its clean. but due to my schedule sometimes, i dont have the time to go to the parlor so i just bought those nailpolishing stuff and do it on my own. its fun and cute thing to do though.

sometimes,when i am too lazy to go out,someone does my nails at home. it is cheaper than going to the salon.the only differencewhen you go to a salon is that they can offer foot spaand other services.i have this trustedlady who does home service.

I go to the salon twice in a month to have my pedicure. I dont have my manicure because i hate how it always looks like only days later. I prefer colored toenails thought and if i even have my manicure, its more likely to be french tip:)

I do my own, I went to school to become a nail tech and have been really busy raising my children and so I am my best customer! I usually do acrylics but have been trying my hand at gels recently! Sometimes I do french manicure most the time I polish them tho. I love airbrushing but moved recently and do not of any one who does it in my new town!

i've heard bout air brush on doing manicures on salons but i never tried on it as it is much expensive than the manual services. when i was in the Philippines i can afford to go to a salon twice a month for a manicure & pedicure but when i got here in US it's very expensive already that's why i just do it myself! sometimes i do french tips or when there is a special occasion to attend but on regular days i always cut my nails evenly & trimmed cuticles only.

I guess you could say I do my own nails. I just leave them natural. I think acrylic fingernails are too thick and they do not look real. You also have to constantly have them "filled in" every couple of weeks. If you pay someone $20 to do them every time, it can get expensive. I like my extra money to earn interest. I also like my nails to look clean. That is just my preference. I am an active person and I do a lot with my hands, (cleaning, gardening, oil painting, etc.) If and when I do polish them, they always start looking bad within a few days. It is easier to just keep them at a nice length and keep them clean.
