Mani Monday: Do Something for You

Over the weekend, I read a survey claiming that 3 out of 4 men could care less if women have manicures; meaning a manicure doesn’t make a woman more — or less– attractive to a man.

I believe that. And I think it proves what I’ve always advocated; feeling pretty is something you do for you, not for a man… or anyone else for that matter.

OPI's Extra-va-vaganza

My husband regularly compliments my manicures and he was smitten with this week’s hue, Extra-va-vaganza from OPI’s Burlesque collection (two coats atop Essie’s “Lady Godiva”).  And while I think the hue is a fun change from the norm, it won’t become my go-to polish hue. I prefer red, black, grey or brown on a day to day basis.

So even though hubby loves this glittery copper, I’ll no doubt be back in Lady Godiva or Iron Butterly or Chanel’s Coromandel by mid-week. Because my manicures are for me, not him.
