first world problems, i know.. but what would you do?

i seriously need a manicure that stays. i didn't LOVE shellac because of how my nails looked afterwards but i found a salon i really like and haven't tried it there.

last week i stubbed my big toe at the pool and broke off part of my big toenail.

my bff wants to meet up for a pedi. i need both. but should i pay for it when my toes look like shit? even though i need a good clean up? and you get a discount when you do it together? or should i just get shellac? or should i just nix all of it and go home and sleep?

[sarack]

anyone? lol.

I don't get my nails done at all, because I have a terrible habit of picking all the nail polish off within a few days. But if I were YOU, I'd go ahead and get them done. I'd try the shellac at the new place you like.

if you don't want to, don't. say you'll go with her and just get a mani. double up the clear coat, ask for an extra, go home and add another. add another clear coat each day. that's what i always do. my polish usually lasts until i stop caring about it (about 1.5-2 weeks).

I'd still do both. I love pedicures and I live in sandals, so colored piggies are a must.
No suggestion on polish, I usually get a mani to clean up my cuticles, etc. and don't get polish.

Yes, I would still do both also. No need to deprive your other tootsies just cuz one is out of commission!

I know this sounds weird, but if your toe nail is broken down far they can do a "nail extension" on the stubby one. it's like getting a fake nail slapped on top so that you don't further damage the nail. It's like $10 or less at a little Asian place.

Also, I'd do both, but I never get my finger nails painted, just buffed. That way there is no grow out line and no polish to chip.

Where is this new place? I need a nail place!! I love pedicures but was unhappy with the last two places I tried in Magnolia/Ballard so don't want to try any more places without a recommendation.

I'd get your toes done if you enjoy it. Just because one little piggy is unhappy doesn't mean they all have to be!

uw- is it bad that i totally thought abuot that. i'd pip but you don't wanna see that hot mess!
