Can't stand tacky fingernails, good haircut much better way to spend money.

I have amazing nails, yet dress badly.
Nails are cheap to keep lovely at home, clothes, not so much

withagoat · 14/03/2011 17:14

but make NO difference

Guilty as charged.

I am a bit of a scrote, but like to have nice nails. I don't have tarty / long / painted / French crap. Just nice short square clear, and a good old scrub of my feet and colour on my toes. I bloody love it.

:)

Nails are SO EASY to do yourself

Glitterknickaz · 14/03/2011 17:18

hey ho if the OP is that shallow to be bovvered about the choices of others then something has to be lacking somewhere....

withagoat · 14/03/2011 17:19

NettoSuperstar · 14/03/2011 17:20

One of my best traits is not being cack handed-hence I have lovely nails and spend very little on themGrin

Rannaldini · 14/03/2011 17:24

nicer to get them done at a nail bar cybertina

cyb · 14/03/2011 17:26

Oh I HATE being pampered

Makes me feel uncomforatble

Maniicures/pedicures YUCK

Rannaldini · 14/03/2011 17:27

why so presbyterian?

AlfalfaMum · 14/03/2011 17:27

Well I have shit nails, but good hair and nice clothes. I don't like my hands, and opt to just ignore them rather than do something logical like make them look nice Hmm

aStarWithHerOwnWays · 14/03/2011 17:28

But nail bars stink of chemicals. I had to walk through one once and nearly choked. It baffles me that people can sit in there for any length of time, chatting away, as if they're not being fumigated with solvents.

cyb · 14/03/2011 17:28

Dunno Ran

Just feel weird having anyhting done

Even hair

(Hence home cuts sometimes)

cyb · 14/03/2011 17:29

And i'm LOVING the name cybertina

When I was little I wanted to be called Crystalina

So its nearly the same
