Before gel nail polish came out I was in the pedicure chair weekly getting spruced up. I feel like pretty feet and hands are expected when someone books my time. Nail fashions are really stepping it up these days. The big thing is to paint the 4th finger a different color, to add rhinestones or hand painted nail art. Long red eagle talons are out. Short, squoval (square-oval) are in. I like the short oval because you can wear all of the latest dark browns and purples while looking tasteful and trendy. I also like them short because short nails go into closed areas a lot easier than long daggers do!!! : )
