On every girl's to-do list before venturing off to Vegas is some rendition of painting her nails.
I wanted gels, but I didn't want a manicure because I had just had one two weeks prior. I was sick of Paulene's, nearby, because of how rudely they treated me. I recalled going to Tia's once back in middle school for a treat. They were still there and I decided to pop in for a gel polish change before I went to my Wednesday night bowling league.
I was told to pick out a color and sit with Cynthia (first station on the left). She was the sweetest woman that has ever done my nails. Very rarely do I feel a connection with my nail technician. It was like having your sweet aunt do your nails, talk about life, and hum along to the music in the background.
I got a light blue polish. She suggested glitter on my digitus medicus. I had not thought of any "bling" on my fingers for Vegas, but that was a brilliant idea. It turned out lovely.
It was $20 for the gel polish change and I tipped her $10 because she is truly the best I've ever been to. Will definitely be going back more often. None of my nails have chipped thus far.
