I mean, it started out the way I imagined: file my nails, get the bumps out of them, stick on the tips. Then, I figured it was just a matter of painting the tips, putting on an overcoat, then I'd be out the door!
Ha. Wrong.
She used a cool powder/liquid combo that works like a gel, which got dabbed on into the design I wanted. Then She filled in the rest of the nail with a clear powder/gel thing. So, right now my nails are like 1/8 inch thick. It's intense.
But that's not all! After that, she got the basic design down, she pulled out a handy sander, and shaped the nails to my liking. Then she did the fantastic little flower design, using a brush that had maybe one bristle in it, then switched to a needle for the half circle dot pattern. I thought I'd be done after that, but no! They she painted a gel over my nails, stuck a rhinestone into the center of the flower, and stuck my hands in the dryer--after a few minutes there, she put another coat of clear gel on, and put my hand back in.
Finally, I got a nice selling finish put on that made my nails shiny!
As you can probably tell, I'm fascinated by the process. :D

Anyway, tune in next time for the humorous escapade of an orange, my almost being spirited away, and mystery!
