Question about English (US)
If I have both nails (hands and feet) done, how should I say? Is the below sentence right?
I have my nails and a pedicure done.
Does “nails” mean only the nails on fingers?
If I say I have my nails done, do you think I am just taking about my finger nails?
Thank you!

"I had my nails done" will usually just be your fingernails.
If you want to say both, you could say, "I got a mani-pedi," which is short for "manicure and pedicure."

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question

- English (UK) Near fluent
Yes, if you said you got your nails done, I would assume you just meant fingers.
"I had a manicure and a pedicure." would be most common.
You could say "I had all my nails done. Both my hands and feet."

Easy way an but fancy way to say it:
I had a Manicure and Pedicure.
Nails generally apply to finger ones, unless you specify or point out to your feet, which in this case the better use would be Toenails

If you only say "nails", it means fingernails.
For both, you say "I have a manicure and a pedicure (done)."
*People now often say a more slang phrase "I have a mani-pedi". (My daughter told me this.)
It's not wrong to say "I have my nails and a pedicure done."
