Manicured nails make every mom feel special.

Picking up toys, putting away the dishes and cooking dinner every night wears our nails to bits. Don't bite what's left. Dress them up with a manicure.

Many beauty schools have manicurists in training so you can get a manicure at a fraction of the cost of a beauty salon's prices. A nail salon or spa may be pricier, but you may be more comfortable going to a professional who's been in business for a longer amount of time.

Need some extra pampering? Get a pedicure while you're there.
