i am not persnickety at all, but i like a good manicure and pedicure. i hate a bad one. i just had a bad one in Pacifica. They poked me, moved me around like a horse getting shoed, and gossiped and watched TV while they were using sharp implements on my feet. They didn't even out my nails. i guess they assumed i want to grow them (i don't). They didn't ask, and i didn't notice. One place i like is in Half Moon Bay, but they only take cash, which irks me.
i am in the woodsy north right now and am about to go get a mani. No one will notice, and it's kinda crazy when i am going to go kayaking and stuff. But i like to. The toes are in good shape. Alarmingly plum colored. i do put color on the toes. Clear for the hands though because i am hard on the paint and i hate to see chips.
My ex, quite conventionally butch, gets more manis and pedis than i ever did. And she gets color on her toes too. Sometimes more than one color. She loves it.
P.S. I also keep my nails short for obvious reason. i have had long nailed femmes fuck me just fine. But i keep mine short. Makes me nervous otherwise. i don't want to be thinking about that when have my hand inside someone.
Also, while i am no massage therapist, i do give a lot of massages, and i don't need long nails.

Guys get crap about being 'butch enough' all the time and personal hygiene stuff is one of those places it happens. Hair products and lotions fit in this category also.
Thanks to the femmes who have offered up tips about nail salons.
Come on guys.....I know I am not the only butch who takes care of my nails.
In my mind nails are tools!!! Tools of the loving touch.
I would be willing to say that part of being old school is taking care of your nails (and skin). What do you think about that?
