So because I am so domesticated, nights during the week are pretty routine. I usually go to the gym after work. Either to play racquetball or do cardio with my bestie Lindsey. After the gym I usually come home, grill a little dinner, walk the dog, shower, and sadly that's pretty much it. Your jealous of my wild lifestyle, I know. Well, tonight I decided it's time for a "Modern Maiden Manicure". It's really no different than just a regular old manicure, I just thought it sounded cute. So for those of us who don't have time to go get a manicure every week. And frankly don't want to pay for a manicure every week, we resort to having a girlie nails night. This is the thing. I like getting a manicure at the salon. However, if I'm going to get my nails done, I might as well get a pedicure while I am at it. This brings up another point...two things I don't enjoy regarding a pedi. 1. Your legs must be freshly shaven. It's not that I don't shave often, because I do. But sometimes I'll go without for a few days when I wear pants to work. The little Chinese ladies DO NOT like giving pedicures to chicks with hairy stubbly legs. Trust me, the leg massage is much shorter when you have stubble. When your legs are nicely shaved they take their sweet time and let you enjoy your 5 min leg message. Seriously, test it out. 2. They laugh at your calluses and make jokes between each other in Chinese about how horrible your feet are. You know this is true! And then they try to use that razor instrument to shave off your calluses. First off, do you think they sanitize those things? Second, I usually reply "No thanks." Call me frugal if you must, I'm not going to pay 5 more dollars for you to cut off my skin and laugh at me. It sounds so exciting but I'll pass. Anyways, back to my manicure night. I usually go through phases when it comes to the color of my nails.Usually I find a color I love and stick with it for at least 3 or 4 months. Right now I am really into OPI "You Don't Know Jaques!". It's kind of a grayish dark brown color. You've got to try it! See the following photos of my Terrific Tuesday Night! ~
