. . .AND NOW THERE ARE TEN

Part of my renovation to a new phase of life has been in the area of trips to the nail salon. There was a time when first of all, I was a nail biter and a trip to a nail salon would have been fruitless and secondly, I thought only the wealthy or extremely pampered frequented a nail salon, and thirdly, I would have been hard pressed to find a nail salon in small town Fort Payne. That has all changed. Now there are ten nail salons and almost everyone I know goes to one of them. I have fallen into the trap - I absolutely have to have my nails done ! And sometimes I even get my toenails done ! Talk about pampered !

Yesterday, on one of my visits, they told me I needed to have the fake acrylic taken off my nails so I could have more fake acrylic slathered on . I soaked my hands in a solution which I am sure ate off my skin as it was eating off the fake goo. Then, my nails were free and natural and long ! Then they told me I needed to cut my long nails off so they could glue fake tips on and put on more acrylic which I had just spent 30 minutes having removed !

$40 bucks and two hours later, I walked out of there with my pretty new nails - having succumbed once again to the pressure of my new renovation.

Go figure . . .
