I LIKE CANDY!

I am sitting here at my desk at work admiring the job that was done on my nails at the nail salon. It is freezing in here and we have to wait three days before the landlord can put a new heating unit in. I hate being cold, so I went to the nail salon down the street, which is something I hadn't done in forever. Trying to save on cash I have been doing at homw mani's and pedi's. As I look at my nails now I know that I will not resort to that again. My left hand polishing skills are awful. I go in one nail shop to tell the lady I would like an overlay. She responds by telling me my nails are too short and I need tips. So I tell her I'm strapped for cash and she said the price was the same. (In Memphis, an overlay is cheaper). Convo precedes as so,
Lady: Do you want acrylic or gel?
Me: How much?
Lady: $25 acrylic, $35 for gel.
Me: Acrylic
Lady: If you want to grow nails, gel is better
Me: I'm not paying $35.00 FOR ANYTHING TODAY
lADY: Acrylic eat your nails
Me: Walks out the door.
I got really irritated and went to the shop further down the street.(You know its at least two on every corner) I tell the lady what I wanted and she says you don't need nails, your nails are pretty you get a manicure.
Me: Blank Stare
Lady: Have a seat in the chair
Me: I don't want a manicure, polish doesn't last a day on real nails.
Lady: No you're right, so you get clear.
Me: Blank Stare for what seemed like 5 min, then Look lady, I told you what I want. And I don't want no stupid clear i want pink. Sinful Colors in Scandal to be exact
Lady: LOL! Ok you have a seat.
My Brain: What in the hell is wrong with people today! Just give me what the heck I'm asking for GEEZ!
I must admit my nails look perfect. Like Candy. Good enough to eat.
