First I'm getting my nails done in Iowa. Let's see how they do. Stubby fingers. Um, I'm a little nervous. I've been with the same nail lady for a very long time. Denise, love you. So sorry I'm not in Chicago anymore. We're hoping it goes well. Round one so I don't have to look for any other nail artist. I can just always come here. Let's look at the price difference. Denise had great pricing for what I get. So we can stay near the $100 range. I will be happy. See you when I'm done. We just got done. We're back in the car. Uh, here's what we got. This is a very simple design. No 3D. Um, I will not lie. I showed a picture of before and she, she didn't like it. She said she didn't like the matte black. I'm not sure if she couldn't do it and just said she didn't like the matte black. But my nail tech, shout out Denise, hated white. She refused to do white. That's why I got white and black. But anyway, she said she didn't like the matte black and the design. She showed me was superly complex. It was 3D. Um, she said she loves to do those kinds of things. I kind of gave her another picture and then she kind of did that and combined it with some other things. She wanted to do. I told her that she could. Superly nice. More expensive than Chicago. Uh, I do have to say, my nail tech, the prices are too low. Because when I showed a design that my nail tech did after she had surgery, she decided she was gonna abandon us. Denise, um, it was a $240 quote from one place and $280 quote from the other place. Denise would have probably charged me $100. Okay? So I do know I was very blessed in Chicago. This design here, because it is a full set, did cost me $95 no tip. I am completely happy with that. It is less than $100. Um, these are short for me. I'm going to a new school and I don't want people judging me off anything. I don't want them to judge me off anything. Um, I got no color. I got more classy, if you would call it. Um, but after this time, the colors are coming back. The 3D's coming back after they get to know me. So, um, yeah, these are my nails. I did pay $95 no tip. Uh, of course, tip well. Um, tip 12. So, um, yeah, these are what they look like. And completely hand designed. And also it did only take an hour and 20 minutes. That's very fast for me. I'm used to being in there for two to three hours. So, um, yeah. She did a great job. And I'm very happy. And shout out to the nail tech. Nail artist. Very different. All right. Love you guys. Bye.
