I used to have my nails done, but the filing is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me and I just can't take it! <br /><br />does it all remind you of that Seinfeld episode? ugh.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573297642256822464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904630798235983419.post-25392162448615917362010-07-22T13:07:16.874-06:002010-07-22T13:07:16.874-06:00So, the "for real" nail tech told me to ...So, the "for real" nail tech told me to let my nails grow out and to fill them with gels. Unless, of course, I develop an allergic reaction to the toxins. <br /><br />She wouldn't even be able to do gels over my nails if I took the acrylics off. Too much chemical damage has already been done.<br /><br />Getting my money back just doesn't pay for that kind of unethical dealing. It's going to take months.<br /><br />But hey, I learned a ton. One day older and wiser too.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390956322434938751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904630798235983419.post-86574027342504760022010-07-22T11:41:18.283-06:002010-07-22T11:41:18.283-06:00Sad!

They ALWAYS drill, and they ALWAYS do what THEY want, not what you ask for....!! SO SORRY SIS!!! If my girl wasn't in Caldwell, I would recommend her...but I do know of a great one in Meridian. I will ask my friend what her name is again...I went to her once a few years ago, and loved her, just didn't love the drive for as much as I get them done (usually every 3-4 weeks). Anyways, I will ask my nail tech for sure to make sure she uses EMA, but she doesn't drill, so I am thinkin' not...<br /><br />SORRY...there is NOTHING worse than a shotty nail job...and it DOES hurt!!!!! NO GOOD!!!!Synergy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048561511592432307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904630798235983419.post-55667552549957782212010-07-22T11:04:27.243-06:002010-07-22T11:04:27.243-06:00You haven't destroyed your nails for life, I p...You haven't destroyed your nails for life, I promise, but you might not like them for a while...<br /><br />I've had acrylics and gels both, although I didn't know how frighteningly different they were until reading your post. I've also had good jobs, where the nails looked like they were my own, and bad ones where I looked like a five year old who got into her mother's falsies... It all depends on where you have them done, and I've learned that you have to be very forward and opinionated and stubbornly know-it-all sometimes to make sure you're getting just what you want.<br /><br />The last job I had done was rather questionable, as the woman doing them squared them with corners that could have gutted a cow. The only good thing that came of it was that before I got the corners rounded, we had an emergency at the farm where a mare gave birth with a prematurely detached placenta and I was able to tear it open with my fake talons, thusly saving the baby from brain death... who knew that bad fake nails might come in handy?Artemis Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849091563671031929noreply@blogger.com
