I have severe dexterity issues with my hands...my hands are permanently frozen in a fist position. I have serious problems with cutting nails and having them cut by someone else is nearly just as serious a problem. My doctor told me that I need to have all of my nails surgically removed , on both hands and feet, so that nails won't be an issue any more. I just haven't gotten the courage to do this. I'm afraid of what it will look like...geesh.

Can you have a podiatrist come to your home? I know senior housing developments sometimes have a mobile doctor that does feet. I would think a doctor would be able to cut nails that are challenging. Maybe a good manicurist could do the hands.

I just keep my nails plain and neat for the winter. I paint my toes in spring/summer and most always leave my fingers natural. I have too much oil in my fingernails to keep polish intact more than a few days.

I like the gel nails but sanding ruined my fingernails and the polish still bubbled and peeled.

I do my own pedi. In the winter I do no polish.

I just did Baby Foot so I'm getting sandal ready. I bought some new polishes! (and ummm more sandals too) I can't wait!!

I get a pedicure at a salon every 4-6 weeks all year. I do my nails myself about once a week or more often if chips are noticeable.

I don't like pedicures. It's too much money and time and not that productive for me. I am not fond of people messing with my feet either and I'm worried about getting some kind of fungus or cootie.

I don't do salon pedicures or manicures....I do my own. I live in a winter climate, so any toenail polish during those months would be rubbed right off with socks, boots and heavy shoes, so I give my nails a break. I love doing my first at-home pedicure in the spring when it's time for sandals and flip-flops.
