Impress Manicure Press-On Nails & Kiss Gel Fantasy Manicures

I am awful at keeping up with my nails. I'm a reformed anxious nail biter but, I can occasionally relapse if my nails aren't done; A very possible reality since I can never find the time to go to the salon or paint them myself. I live in a world where I want to do my nails and then instantly stick my hand in a bag of chips afterwards or at least not have to worry about what I'm going to have to do if my nails are wet and I have to go to the bathroom.

I love long natural nails but with having done gels for the past two months that has not been an easy task, especially since i don't have the strongest nails to begin with anyway. they are pretty brittle and tend to flake and peel. Needless to say I try my best to avoid having to open things that require me to use my nails and on the off chance I have to open a can a slight panic overwhelms me because I'm afraid a nail might get caught and rip. I'm sorry if that's disturbing but, it's true. 

Filing Down My Nail Expectations

Like most women (& some men) I enjoy getting my nails done at the salon. Over the past couple of months I've been trying to step up my nail game by actually keeping up with my acrylics...Yet it seems to be becoming almost a bit more trouble than its worth. Since I've been getting my nails done I've gone to 4 separate salons all of which have striked out in their own special and flavorfully ignorant way. I'm actually starting to think that I've pissed off some nail deity and that I will be ever be cursed with bad nail juju. Either way though this salon shenanigans is really getting out of hand. Are my nail expectations too jaded from all of the beautiful nails I see online or are these salons just shitty? I mean I would understand bad service if  I was a shitty tipper or if i was the Hitler of nail salon patrons but, I'm not sooo I don't really get the deal. I'm a little mind blown still so you be the judge- have I hit a string of bad nail luck or what!?
