okay, so i've made a fetish of cleaning my nails. i've been doing this when i was in college (coz my allowance didn't include salon visits!). usually, it would take me an hour or two to attain the grooming that i want for my nails. believe me, it's difficult when you do your own toes. it takes some acrobatic skills just to be able to get those cuticles properly removed. just imagine how delighted i was when i finally get to afford salon visits! i always treat myself at least twice a month for a good manicure, pedicure and sometimes foot spa (nakaka-miss naman!).
but that was then. now that i am here in sg, i couldn't afford going to nail salons anymore. :( it's so expensive leh! averaging a thousand pesos for well-manicured nails, and another thousand for a pedicure. no way would i spend money for that. i'd just buy myself a new pair of shoes. i'm practical too, y'know.
so, ever since i came here, i only had nail-cutter clean toenails. it's frustrating sometimes seeing your nails pale, with the skin around it easily getting dry and dead skin growing around them. you might think that nail-polish would be a quick solution to that. but that would be cheating your feet and i'm not a nail-polish kind of person.. well, polished nails are good when you're attending some events that require you to dress up and you need to wear really, sexy strappy sandals. but it's not good to wear them daily. it keeps your nails discolored and unhealthy looking. but most of all, i'm
really bad at nail polishes. i can't get it's worth coz i couldn't keep them for 24 hrs without getting smudged!
anyways, i finally bought me a manicure/pedicure set (pusher, nail brush and cuticle remover) last weekend. and tonite, i finally got a quality time with my feet just like when i was in college. well-groomed toenails always lifts my mood! (hmm, reminds me, i was tagged by claire to write about my joys and delights... this definitely is one of them).
blogging about nails might make me seem that i am a shallow person, but i can't help it. my slight obsession for pedicures has its history - i love shoes! i can't go on about that here, this blog is supposed to be about my toenails. so i am dedicating a separate entry for my love for shoes. :D
