Umm, I usually just make sure that they are clean, which I admit can take some effort when there's mud, leather fat and engin grease under them. But I think it looks disgusting when people have a long black line at the end of their nails.

I do have nailpolish on one of my finger nails, since it cracked near the top when I was trying to change the stir-ups on my sadle, so I borrowed some of my mums clear nail polish to try to keep the nail together, it still hurt like hell though.
If you don't take care of them they become really weak (well, mine do) and also bad dirty nails are so disgusting.
I like painting them and making them look nice anyway, however I can't stand long fake nails though and them chavvy acrylics... they look cheap, god knows why people pay £30+ for their nails to look like that.
I think having nice nails makes you feel good about yourself instantly. To change other parts of your appearance is either expensive, hard work, or takes place over a long period of time.

If someone is old, wrinkled, obese, generally not a supermodel etc, it's something they can do easily, quickly and cheaply, and can make a part of your body look beautiful, expensive, cared-for and feminine.

I don't see why anyone would begrude them that?! :s-smilie:

You know, they actually offer manicures in care homes sometimes...it gives elderly ladies the sensation of being cared for and being made 'pretty'. :smile:
