went to do my nails just now. wanted to do gel overlay/infill (no extension), in the end did acrylic as the manicurist said the removal process is less harmful (i know both are harmful to nails). when the session was halfway through, i felt excruciating burning sensation on my nails -__-" i nearly teared... at the end of the session, i was super unsatisfied with the results. check out the pics below...


seems ok? looks fine? my real nails are longer than these. i mean the "white" portion. but the tip was covering only 2/3 of it. not what i wanted.


can see what's wrong? still can't see?


the top part is not "white" enough. see through one...


it's very uneven.


can you see my real, yellowish nail portion. it's not covered properly.

and... now ALL my fingers are very painful *wails* can't even wash a cup. to my horror, i just realized that 4 fingers are not properly done. some a bit "blurred", powdery feel. called the salon to ask, they say maybe didn't put under the UV light long enough. but when i called, they are already closing, hence ask me to go back tomorrow for the touch up. but but... i really dread going back!! *sob* the stupid painful nails cost me $60 (for infill) and $20 for french tip. and the french tip SUCKS. everything sucks! anyway, i checked the prices already. other places are $50 + $20. but i just feel that with this kind of skill, the manicurist shouldn't be helping people to do infill and french tip! think better sit at the cashier will do. leave the nails alone lor! humph!!!

i want to re-do my nails! i want back my regular manicurist! where is she??? =( think i'll go to my mother-in-law's regular manicure salon. its at city plaza.

i'm not happy.
