Question of the Week
Be honest: How long do you go between pedicures?
G's answer: If we're talking summertime, I try to do a pedi (trimming nails, removing old polish, applying new polish) at least once a month. But during wintertime, let's just say I've gone over a month. I'm not proud of it, but hey, it happens. Oh heck, I'll admit to something else while I'm at it. In the winter, if my nails need a trim but my polish still looks good, I might trim my already-painted nails and not remove/repaint at all. Also, if my polish chips before I need to trim, I might "touch-up" the polish and add a fresh coat on top of my existing pedi. Please don't think less of me now. PS: I exfoliate my heels and moisturize my feet every day or every other day, religiously, all year around. I have chronically dry heels and I cannot stand the feel of dry heels on bed sheets, etc., so I stay on top of that, no matter what.

Although I moisturize my feet every day and do a pedicure about once a month, I actually give my toenails a break from polish during the cold months when I'm not wearing flipflops.
ReplyDeleteMy toes are polished 365 days of the year! In the summer, the color is changed once a week because I have a lot of polish I want to rotate through. In the winter months, it still gets changed every two weeks. What can I say? I get bored easily with the colors and want to change it...:D
ReplyDeleteI've never had a pedicure in my life. Ever. My feet are gross, no matter what I do, and i'd rather not subject a nail tech to the horrors that are my feet ;)
ReplyDeleteI have recently started using the Spongeables, and love how they make my feet feel, even if they haven't really been great for removing the alligator skin. Polish-wise, I don't think my toes have seen polish for a year or two. I have few goals in life, but one is definitely making my feet look a lot less like nasty, icky troll feet!
Agreed with the touching up after growth. In the winter all I want are soft feet no polish necessary. In the summer I'll even paint over color with something darker to keep from taking polish off...shameless isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThis winter has been crazy, and having my feet hiding in boots, I have really have been ignoring my tootsies. But for a quick pedi, I love fast drying nail polish. I can remove polish (if I am wearing any) before my shower, and when I get out slap some on, do my face routine, then slap another coat on, and it is dry before I reach for my blow dryer. Quick and easy and no fuss. And I have been known to do Mrs. Jefferson's trick as well ;) No shame in that game!!
