Always. I like to get Spa Pedicures. Whenever I would pick a polish from the salon it would start to chip within a week. I can go three weeks at a time now, and my polish still looks good. I also like having my own colors.

[Flady1]

Yes always!!  For health reasons, and to have at home for chips.  I must have 100 different colors.

A couple of questions:  1) do you get a discounted price if you supply your own polish?  2)  What are the health risks associated with using the polish supplied by the salon?    Thanks!

@Krimpette #1 - I can't help you since I do all my own manicures.

#2 - From everything I've read, bacteria can't grow in nail polish, so that shouldn't be a risk unless the salon has modified the polish by adding inappropriate ingredients.  Any health risks are more than likely going to be due to poor sanitation or use of improper techniques.

Thanks for answering, juperier.  That's kind of what i thought about nail polish.  As to doing your own manicures, I can do my left hand just fine, but I'm not very good on doing my right hand!!!!

Never.  I get gel polish and they have a huge selection of gels at the salon.  Because I get gel polish, I don't ever have to worry about chips or touch-ups.

@Krimpette Practice helps...both applying the polish and cleaning up.

[Nataliesgramma]

I always do....I also like my toes and hands to match....

[NiteStar]

Always!

@Krimpette I have never gotten a discount for bringing my own polish.  I also don't think there is any hygenic reason to bring your own polish.
