Just curious if anyone has posted a how-to guide on exactly how to manicure / trim the perfect buds. Something that would be top shelf in a dispensary, or make your friends go DAAAAAAAAAAMN... Etc.. If anyone can post me a link as to how to manicure perfectly, I would +rep and +appreciate.. I tried searching but apparently my search-fu is weak.

Im not sure it needs in-depth explaining. You need some really small, sharp scissors, possibly some rubber gloves, good lighting, and patience. Try to cut the leaves off as close to the main stem as possible. Thats about it.
Fiskars makes some fantastic small pruning shears that are perfect. Soft Touch Micro-Tip Scissors As others have said have a couple pairs of gloves handy, some razor blades to scrape your scissors, and something to clean them with if you have a lot of trimming. Also, trimming takes a while, so get a movie or two (depending on how much you're doing), find a comfortable spot and have lots of patience.
