But aside from those two salon pedicures each year, I do the rest myself. I still treat myself to a salon pedicure at the start of flip-flop season, and again mid-summer ($30 twice a year = $60). I also spend approximately $100 on an array of nail tools such as files, nail clippers, a basin to soak my feet, cuticle cream, etc. Between purchasing a variety of shades, as well as a base coat and top coat, I spend about $100 per year on polishes.
