For ladies who paint their nails...
Re: For ladies who paint their nails...
Agreed! The nail place I go to (off Preston and Alexis near Addison) does it for about $30 and mine lasted 3 weeks. Be careful though, if they don't use the real Shellac (something like Gellac) it doesn't last as long. I had a really great color done for my wedding, but it didn't last more than a week and a half before it started peeling off
What about beauty schools? I've gone to one before and had a good experience. As long as you request someone who is about to graduate, it can't be that bad right?

RE: threading vs. waxing.
I've done both.
I find that threading looks much better - it's much more precise and you can get a fantastic shape - however... it was much more painful for me than waxing. I did it for about two years and when I changed jobs, just went back to waxing since the only place I got threaded at was too far away.
I usually get my nails done, however, I was once told to rub a little rubbing alcohol on the nails before appyling paint. It takes off the extra oils. I tried it a couple times and it helped last a little longer. I also use OPI too.
