Do you know that manicures are one of women’s many secret weapons?  One of my friends who recently had a Maryland eyelid lift surgery says that she gets manicures because they are cheaper than therapy. A manicure can be a nice quick pick me up when I am feeling blue.  They also instantly make me feel prettier (or at least a little fancier).  There are pictures everywhere of women with perfectly manicured fingers.

You can’t open a magazine or turn on the television without seeing a set of perfectly manicured digits these days.  Maybe it’s the ease of which we can now get manicures.  There are nail salons popping up everywhere.   They are so competitive that some salons offer a first time free manicure, while others have half price days.

You see pictures of different types of manicures in magazines and catalogs.  Lately, I have seen a lot of different images put on the tops of people’s nails and toenails. The last time I got a pedicure, the manicurist asked me if I wanted a picture of a flower on my big toe for a special occasion.  I thought about it for a minute before answering no. I guess it would have been cool to have a picture of a butterfly or a flower on my toe, but in the end I decided that this must be her way of getting me to spend more money.  After all, I’m not the trendiest person in the world and I’m not a teenager either, so I would have probably looked ridiculous with a picture on my nail or toenail.  That being said, I think that pictures or images have their place in the manicure world.  I’ve seen a lot of other people with these images, and it looks great on them.
