Acrylic Nail – Vanity or Good Grooming?

,
Before the discovery of acrylic nail, people just went to a nail salon to get their regular manicure and pedicure. If you wanted to be creative and wanted your personality to shine through your nails, you would ask your nail attendant to put on whatever nail polish color fits your style. If you are laid back chances are you would go for the earth tones – brown, tan and the likes. If you are somebody who is daring and loves bright colors, then the sky is the limit in terms of choosing a nail polish.

Now, going to a beauty salon for nail treatment isn’t only limited to the usual manicure and pedicure. You can go for a hand spa, foot spa, foot scrub, acrylic nail and the list goes on. Others would argue that going for these types of nail treatment is purely vanity. They say that you don’t really need to have all these when you can just push your cuticle gently, apply cuticle remover, brush and buff and off you go.

On the other hands, those who go for these kinds of nail treatment also argue that it is not about vanity at all. According to them nail care is all about good grooming. This is especially true if you are working and are dealing with customers. For them, the state of your nails will greatly reflect on how you take care of your body.

For me it is a little bit of both. Who doesn’t want clean and well maintained nails? If having an acrylic nail gives me the satisfaction of feeling well groomed while making my nails look beautiful, then why not?
