I go through mixed feelings regarding nails. Thirty years ago, my husband who was an airline pilot, came back from trips to New York reporting, 'Nails and nail bars seem to be a big thing over there.' Oh right, I thought. That's to be expected in their culture.
All these years later, nails and nail bars have become a big thing over here in the UK too. Can look pretty and polished and feminine (as yours do) or can (in my opinion anyway) appear too self-conscious.
My husband and I are big watchers of French films and like to observe their culture. ('Venus Beauty Institute' is a good one). Most Frenchwomen tend to take a minimalist approach to nails: short, neat, clean, and functional. No nail polish. No fuss.
So in balancing my budget and not spending too much on myself, I put money into my hair, but go the Frenchwoman way as far as nails are concerned.
