I chose a french manicure for my fingernails because I'm not really much for color on my hands. I feel like it clashes with everything and often stands out too much. Plus when it chips, it's really noticeable. It was very nice to have the work done though because my cuticles have taken a beating over the years. I'm lucky to have very nice, strong nails naturally which is why I've never bothered with a manicure before...but it was a nice treat. I think in the future I'd probably only get manicures for a trip or special occasion though because it's only been a week and I've already chipped them a bit....life happens...a girl has to wash dishes or pick dead flowers from the garden you know!
I love the pedicures though. I have pretty healthy feet so I'm lucky, but it's still nice to have someone rub them and scrub them and lotion them every once in a while. :) I chose the dark red "Affair in Red Square" polish because I've had it before and I got lots of compliments. It's a good color for open-toed shoe season!
