I haven’t had a professional manicure in over a decade. I was
never a regular customer; I’d go in from time to time if I needed a morale
boost or wanted to look particularly nice. But the last time I had a mani-pedi,
the salon’s proprietor used a razor to remove a callous on my heel, and it bled
for three days. Maybe someday I’ll have the guts to go back. Meanwhile, I manage
well enough on my own. I have all the tools I need: a decent set of nail
clippers, a nail file, a buffer, cuticle oil, and an orange cuticle stick. I
don’t generally wear nail polish, and I keep my nails very trim. With all the
things I use my hands to do, long nails and nail polish would just be a
nuisance. I even make my own exfoliant scrub: half a cup of sugar (white or
brown), three tablespoons of olive oil, and two tablespoons of honey.
