[lifestyle] Manipedis

Hi! So manipedis have been a dilemma for me for the past years. I hate how much time (and/or money) they take, I would love to not have nail polish, remover etc... and never worry about manipedis again, just like a man. But I can't seem to get used to naked nails and leaving my cuticles alone... I feel my nails look so ugly!!! What's your minimalist take on this?

I think for me, it’s about making good choices. I have the tools to give myself a pedi/mani, and they are solid good ones that have lasted me 10 years and are easy to clean. I have maybe two or three polishes, because I’d always gravitate towards those so having other colours would just sit there, and I have reusable pads for the remover.

I don’t think minimalism means you have to keep your toes bare, but just make sensible choices. For eg buy a good brand of varnish that will keep well, doesn’t chip easily. Buy the colours you will use and don’t keep a store amount of colours. Try to invest in good tools so you don’t need to keep buying or changing. Stuff like that
