Dew, my wife and a friend of hers get their nails done every two weeks. I feel that for them it's a need because it helps them feel better about themselves.
$24 isn't a bad price at all. That's about what each of them pay as well. I think that your husband just doesn't understand how having your nails done is important to you, and that it helps make you feel better.
Perhaps if you take the time to really explain it to him in some way he could understand then he should come around.

Does sound like a lot of money to spend on something that you could probably do yourself (or have a girlfriend do) majority of the time. And then on special occasion go and have them done professionally. Sorry to have to agree with your mate but he does have a pretty valid point. Besides with the world in the state it is in at present you could do something that might actually make a difference in someones life (like give that money to a good charity or adopt a foreign kid through some donation) and you would probably feel better about it also as you would be helping someone else rather then placing so much vanity on your nails. Maybe it's just the time of year that is making me think like this but I honesty do feel like this today.

Do you have an alowance or something? He needs to get off your case. Give him 24 bucks a month and tell him to do whatever the hell he wants to do with it so he can start enjoying life a little more instead of jumping on your back for a little thing like that.
You're not even doing it twice a month, like most women that get manicures. At least it's not a massage, that would bump you out of a $100!
He needs to get things into perspective. Tell him it makes you feel sexy and good about yourself and your self esteem means more than money!

I think you should continue to do your nails. The two hours I spend in a nail salon all month are pretty much the only time I get to myself and I just might go crazy without it. Doesn't he have anything he likes to do that costs money? My boyfriend used to complain about it but then I had them taken off and not two months later he wanted them back because he likes me to be more feminine.

Somethings you have to do for you. Guys don't understand nails are like a bill to us. If it is financialy putting you in a bind i would stop, but if it's not I would just tell him nice I will continue to do this because it makes me feel good and happy. Girl be happy that my motto. also if it makes a lot of waves I would stop, but will that make you happy. Is your husband controlling or jealous of you for some reason. I think 24 bucks a month couldn't hurt a fly.

I think it is a waste but you work full time and it is your money. I'm sure things I get are a waste to some people as well. He should express his opinion if asked in this situation. I mean come on, $24 a month?

Well see we girls think that our nails really matter all that much. But they don't!!! As long as our fingernails are clean and nice looking they don't care. So yeah he is going to think getting your nails done every month is a waist. But if that is what you like to do for your self then he will have to deal with it. Tell him this, would you rather me spend 24 dollars on my nails or 100's of dollars on jewelry every month like most women do?

It is just $24!!! For Heaven's sake, don't worry about it. And if you love them, then keep doing it, you work and you make your own money which you can use to please yourself. Don't sweat it and tell him that you will keep doing that whether he likes it or not. Sometimes you got to be firm with them.
If he gives you a hard time over such a small amount of money, what would he say if you wanted to spend thousands of dollars on something more futile?
I would just have a talk with him to let him know how you feel.

You work full-time and obviously are supporting the household just fine... I say spend the $24 a month. If it makes you feel pretty, then go for it. Your husband will just have to deal with it.

My mom got her nails done every other week. It was her treat to herself and it was relaxing for her to go, and made her feel better about herself. I don't think that's a waste of money. I could see if you treated yourself to lots of other things how it could be a problem, but if it's just that, what is the big deal. I bet if you tried you could find something that he spends money on that is meaningless to you but that he likes.
