"0"^^ . . . "I am revising my previous review. This is a WARNING to others. After visiting regularly, at one appt Paul talked me into trying acrylic nails since mine were splitting. As he applied them he kept jamming his long thumbnail under my nails. (He kept his right thumbnail long - I guess for this purpose). When I complained that it hurt, he said he had to break up the glue. Regretfully, it didn't even occur to me how unhygienic his fingernail could be. A few hours after he applied them, my finger tips and around the nails became tender and red. It got worse and worse. The next day, thinking I was having an allergic reaction, I went back and asked him to remove them which he did. As he was working, I noticed something dark under my nails. I asked him if it was fungus and he replied, \"dirt\". But there was nothing I had been doing that would account for that much dark dirt. \n\nWhen my nails continued to get worse over the weekend, I went to the doctor. I had a serious nail infection and the dark under my nails was dried blood. The doctor put me on antibiotics. My fingertips were so tender and painful that I couldn't even pick up a paper clip and when I bumped them, I was in serious pain. This went on for over a week. When I went back to Glitter Nails, they promised to pay for my doctor appt (which I had to pay in full because of my ins deductible) and the antibiotic. When I tried to collect, they denied it was an infection or that it was their fault and refused to pay. Six months later, my nails have not yet completely recovered. I still have big white spots under my nails. DO NOT USE them if you value your nails."^^ . . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . "2014-12-12T00:00:00"^^ .
