At this point, it just doesn't seem worth the effort, and I like the idea of valuing my natural appearance in more ways. <BR/><BR/>I did get my very first manicure ever this weekend, for a special occasion. The end result? Meh. There's definitely better ways for me to spend my time and money. <BR/><BR/>Loved hearing your perspective on the topic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355169292089791281.post-56316633696721162342008-08-09T11:10:00.000+01:002008-08-09T11:10:00.000+01:00I know what you mean about not wearing gloves, Cat...I know what you mean about not wearing gloves, Catz. I don't either and am often breaking my nails because of it (well, I was... back in the day when I could still keep up with the gardening that is). Gloves take away too much sensitivity - I like the feel of the plants and the earth too much. <BR/><BR/>I don't wear washing up gloves either, another thing that isn't particularly nail friendly.Sharon Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09050104785278502068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355169292089791281.post-26463459290360639972008-08-08T22:39:00.000+01:002008-08-08T22:39:00.000+01:00Nail polish on my fingernails is a waste of time a...Nail polish on my fingernails is a waste of time as I constantly forget to wear gloves when I am gardening etc and so would chip them in no time! so it is a special occasions only event! another one here who can't tolerate the smell!

What changed my mind was visiting a manicure parlor (not sure if that's the right word, sounds a bit sordid!) and the smell was overwhelming, made me very aware of chemicals. After having my nails done I accidentially put a finger in my mouth and the taste was terrible - no chemicals for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355169292089791281.post-31311273478382029242008-08-08T17:48:00.000+01:002008-08-08T17:48:00.000+01:00I'm too lazy to keep my nails up!
