As mentioned, I have the power combo of the dexterity of a 4 y/o and the desire to at least have my nails communicate that in my own quiet way, I am still a lady, not just a human form adorned in a pile of scrubs, and thusly, assistance is required for all of my nail needs. Was next door getting my watch battery replaced, had 15min to spare, decided to ball out, lured in by the OPI display - mildly heart broken to find that after I'd committed, most of the polishes are actually OPI knock offs (Princess or something equally humiliating to say), though decent polish can be found if you dig enough. If you're not a brand snob, the color selection is adequate, but if you're looking for that goodgood shit, you're going to have to settle for a shade that's almost there but either matronly or tacky, not in a fun way.

I will say, perhaps I wasn't playing to their strength - which, judging by the talons my fellow patrons were rocking and the mild respiratory distress I entered upon inhaling the nail dust in the air, I think that fancy ass acrylics are their jam. And as great as it would be to not have to use an amni-hook to AROM a patient, gotta keep it under control. Clean, quick - perhaps $1 more than it's worth - but again, I'm a D for complaining abt how someone paints my nails. Totally adequate, but my heart was not won. Read Less
