I don't wear enhancements any longer. I used to do my own pink and white sculpts for a looong time, and I did them very well. Perfect smile lines and all. I have to say it was a grueling 2 hours of work!! LOL! I'd be sore and tired by the time I was done, and NEVER felt like doing the fills. So taking the advice of Vicki Peters, I decided to find another awesome nail tech to do my nails. What a relief!! It's so much nicer to sit on the other side of that table, and be the one pampered for a change! I too am very picky, but I learned that if you go to a nail tech who is known for outstanding work, and just relax and keep your mouth closed....lol...you enjoy the experience much better. Two years ago, I decided that I no longer wanted to wear enhancements, and instead take care of my own natural nails. So I have been manicuring, (or letting my co-worker) manicure them ever since.
