I’ve been spending way too much money on Mani/Pedi’s. And while I think Pedicures are important to get monthly (by a professional), manicures simply don't last as long, and so I’ve made the executive decision to do them myself.
Here's what you will need:
Scissors/Clippers
Cuticle Trimmer
Nail File
Remove any leftover polish, wash hands and use hand lotion. Trim nails, clip cuticles and file - square or rounded (whatever you prefer). I sometimes use a little body oil on my cuticles if they’re extra dry. Paint 2 coats of polish – and wait 20 mins before any activity. I like to watch my favorite TV shows during this waiting period.
If you absolutely can not DIY, and you live in SF, I recommend: New Age Nails on Grant. Warning: it is a hole in the wall, but I’ve tried my fair share of nail salons in the city and they do a great job for only $10... ask for Debbie.
And if price doesn't matter - try this cute, and very girly place: Teashi on Polk.

Oh how I need a mani AND pedi! For some reason here in Idaho the cheapest you can find for a pedicure is $30, and they do a HORRIBLE job! I mean really, it's bad! I haven't even checked how much their manicures are. :( Maybe I can come visit you and we can go to the whole in the wall in the city together!!
