Manicure day!
Monday, 16 October 2017 12:40Well, more like 2 days ago....
I wanted to get a very Fall-y manicure (something matte, and in grey maybe), but then I found out the parlor now does simple artwork as well. And they had a nice black-themed design and I thought, "oh wow, Halloween-ish but not too childish and I can pretend it's got nothing to do with Halloween!"
Lesson learnt: don't. For those extra lines, they still charged the extra "artwork design surcharge" (WTF if I do it again I'll go all intricate baroque design damn them) and the lines weren't even straight. Then when she applied the top overcoat, the lines didn't really dry out yet, so the lines got smudged. It's particularly obvious on the white one (doesn't show in the photo though).
But, again, I'll never do an "artwork" manicure with them. I had to buy a package with them just because of some work-related things... when my package runs out, there's another manicure parlor I'd like to try, so I will go there!
My contribution to the shitty drivers topic. The park house was full, and I only saw this stupid tight park space. The parking spaces are tight as they are, and this black Honda has gone over the line too. Will that stop me from parking? No. His passengers will have to think about how to get in later. Did I mention I'm actually quite a good driver and can park backwards really well?
(It's just parallel parking that I need some maneuvering and outside help.)
