Might come from my upbringing...but Mr. Lixy constantly tells me to "pamper" myself and I just can't justify it so I back-peddal and tell him, "I can manicure/pedicure just as good as anyone else can"!

I've had manicures (acrylic...4 times) and I find that my natural nails have become damaged from the work. Despite the fact that my mom and older sis have long/strong nails, I have always had thin/splitting nails. What I'd really like to find is something that'll strengthen my natural nails without damaging them Sally Hasen is OUT! Every thing from her product line screws with the already damaged stuff and makes it worse.

But...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I envy you girls who can get this "pampering" without remorse or need for justification.

Don't get me wrong...I know I am in the minority in "need of justification". As I said in the beginning it's stems from my upbringing and I know I have issues...even at my age!

P.S. Beautiful nails hun! Top and bottom!
