I had to pose with and hold art up for an auction and decided a little glitz and glam wouldn't hurt my money raising skillz.\n\nCut to this week: I move out to AZ, I'm searching for a job, my nail polish is in RUINS and I REALLY need this gold stuff off my nails. The bottle of polish remover in my grandma's overflowing manicure basket does NOTHING to repel the golden glue. Halp!\n\nLuckily, my U-Haul storage unit is right behind this little nail shop and I popped in this morning for a quick mani.\n\nWell...\"quick\" being a relative word, since it took about 40 minutes to get just this basic manicure done. However, I'm OK with this because my gal did a marvelous job. Not sure if it's store-wide policy or just her, but she was crazy about detail. Hey, slow and steady wins the race, right? No smudges, great paint job. And she only tried to upsell me ONCE, which is such a plus for me. I hate being badgered for more nail services than the ones I walk in for. I now have some pretty purple digits clickity-clacking away on my keyboard.\n\nSpace was clean. TV was playing \"The Haunted\" on Animal Planet, which cracked me up but whatever. Manicure? $12! I'm pretty sure they only take cash tips so remember that! Very happy this place is right down the street."^^ . "4"^^ . "4"^^ . .
