There is nothing wrong with personal grooming, pedicures and manicures don't hurt, if they are done correctly.
The manicures are very noticable, even subconsciously, to those with whom you shake hands with or meet. They are an integral part of the grooming process, however they dont mean much if you neglect other aspects and it does make you feel positive.
Do the manicure yourself and you won't get them digging the cuticles and it develops nail growth within the nail bed.
It was amazing how other peoples blood could tarnish them and it is nice to be out of that avenue of entertainment.
Milfs love them too, I do like mifs
