square looks fake and if i start off with square it wears down naturally fast to more rounded

You have inch thick nails and you're concerned with a square shape looking fake?

haha.

french manis never look right on me. i'm thinking all white with sparkles instead

Just got home a little while ago from getting mine done...

They're squared with rounded corners...

Mine too..

I had a nail tech call them squricle...

Has anyone here had an american tip before... they arent the bright white, more of a cream color... its pretty and very natural looking, but i prefer a french tip with natural bed... the pink looks to bright for me.. my nail beds are naturally pinkish anyway...

Manicure (clean up/tidy up) yes. If you get acrylics to "strengthen" your nails I ain't inviting your ass to dinner.

I'll just drink more milk or something.

But the manicure might actually happen...

Manis look great on dudes as long as you don't get the clear polish like they used to do for pimps & gay Baptist choir directors back in the day

But yup, they'll fix your cuticles so the don't look raggedy, will buff your nails, and you get to soak your hands in bubbly water and they give you a hand massage with nice smelling oil after they're dry. I say go for it

I 100% hate long, long fake nails. It's just plain cheap looking...especially when they are painted crazy colours and have patterns. Tacky, tacky, tacky.

A somewhat shorter acrylic more natural look is ok but nothing beats natural, clean, strong healthy nails.

This is the perfect length. It's natural, modern and for lack of a better word, classy.

Sweetie always wanted to get a pedicure, but hesitated because he thought it was something only women did. When we were in Vegas in 2007 (went to see Prince the weekend after the Super Bowl), I found a nail salon a couple blocks from our hotel because I'd broken one of my own nails. While I was in there, I noticed a couple of guys getting their feet done and thought, "Okay, this is it. He's gonna get a pedi while we're here. I'll tell him it's for his birthday."

I told him, "It'll be all right. I saw a couple guys in there earlier, and it isn't like we know anybody here, anyway."

Well...he loved it. And now, he goes into the salon where I get my nails done every once in awhile and gets a mani/pedi, himself. He usually goes on a weekday, though - when it's quieter and fewer women are likely to be in there.

my stepmom treated herself,my dad and me to pedis once. he got clear coat. she moaning like shes orgasming and i hated it. i swear they only did a color strip down the middle. what about the sides of the toenail? loretta's moaning must have distracted all 3 of the pedi givers...it was embarrasing

A lot of men go where I go.

There was one in there Monday.

Personally, I appreciate a man who takes care of the small details like that.

When I get my nails done every 2 weeks, I also get a Honey pedicure (honey, coarse brown sugar and lemon juice). It's relaxing... I put on my headphones and just chill....

I'm very ticklish on my feet, so I giggle while she's scrubbing, but Linda's used to me... (no moaning, tho! )

Yeah, it'll be great in the nursing home someday, when she doesn't know which tongue to put her food on.

I mean, I don't want to be disrespectful or anything, but how does one eat food with those things in lips and mouth?

Oh, okay. I'm not familiar with the mechanics of piercings and wondered how they fit into the mouth without irritating tongue and lip.

They do, eventually. Front lip piercings eventually erode your gums away from the soft rubbing. Great manufactured oral jewelry will be buffed and polished to make it extra soft and comfy, but it will always, 100% erode your gum line over time.

As far as tongue piercings, they also erode your gum line from behind and can erode the roof of your mouth. That and the risk of tooth chipping. What sold me on removing my tongue piercing after over 10 years of having one is that I bit down on it and fucked up one of my molars and needed to have it fixed. Some stupid shit for nothing. Now I stick to tattoos. Piercings that are in your mouth or your nose or on any surface skin are just asking for trouble. Only safe piercings, imo, are ears (and not ones that never fully heal) and genitals.

I have a little diamond in my labret -- I wear bioflex now so as to not have metal rubbing up against my gums.

I used to sleep with an acrylic piece in my labret and just wore a tiny steel stud during the day. I have a small mouth though... Which also adds to the rubbing. If I'd left my labret in, I'd end up with some serious gum damage.

yeah i got mine like 11-12 yr ago and i do see only a bit near one of my teeth with it wearing down a bit. but the dentist never mentioned it and i never had braces or cavities or anything like that soooo...they thought it was neat actually..

i want it!
