Since I can remember I've always off and on had the privelege to have my nails and toes done. Now that I've been making my own money and having expenses of my own, I have chosen to spend about $60.00 every two weeks on having my nails and toes done.
So that $120.00 a month that is all put towards my pretty little fingers and toes. So the question I am asking... is it worth it? When you meet someone and they have their nails done do you immediately notice it or do you ever even notice it at all? I tend to make myself believe that it's okay to spend this money because you can't put a price tag on beauty... but does it even make me more beautiful? Some people like the natural nail thing, I've never been one to even try that out, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper.
I'm always telling myself this is the last time, then we're on our own, but I always seem to scrape up the money from somewhere and go pamper myself. But in the end, that money is being flushed down the drain. I have nothing to show for it once my nails have all grown out and my toe nail polish starts to chip.
This might seem like a dumb question to post, but hey, it's a my blog after all.
I love getting my nails done and I have only done it for special occasions. I noticed most people do their own nails and so that made me feel better about doing my own and not getting it done. I always paint my own toenails (I leave my finger nails without polish), but I spend around $8 dollars for the cost of really good nail polish so it lasts longer and looks professional. Think of this, you spend $1440 a year on getting your nails done. Times this by 18 years and you would have spent $25,920 on nails. So I don't think it is worth it to do on a continual basis, but once a year on your birthday is a great time to pamper yourself and look forward to the treat. Just some thoughts, but you know what is important to you. I am just a stranger, who saw a link on my friend's facebook page and thought I would check out your blog! haha :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey Taylor,
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the blog. Great job on sprucing it up. I will suggest one thing though. Change your font of the post to something easier to read.
I think that if you can afford it, go for it, but if you are having issues throwing that money out there maybe you are feeling inspired to save it for some reason.
It may also be good to try it without for a while. If you make a goal to do without for six months, set the money aside and use your $720 for something else that may make you rethink how important your toes and nails are.
Or just do your own pedi. I only get my feet done professionally about twice a year, and I do them myself the rest. I also prefer not to have acrylic on my nails. It bugs me. They have the new nail polish gel that is supposed to last a while now. Maybe you could try that and just go in every 6 weeks.
