Ok, people...let's share your beauty horrors.
Here's my story....
The other day while I was walking up and down the high street during my lunch hour, I decided to venture out into a swanky little nail saloon. I don't know what, but something pulled me in. I only had 30 minutes left of my lunch hour and thought what the hell, those women look like they're enjoying their manicures, I might as well get one. So I went in and though it looked absolutely fabulous, I was immediately offered a drink and a seat. Next, my nails were enjoying a good old soak and I was busy daydreaming and staring at Usher on the big plasma screen.
And then out of nowhere came this piercing pain. Quickly turning back to look at my nails, I noticed the little indhayar woman was mercilessly hacking away at my cuticles, my fingers were bleeding and I felt like screaming. But I couldn't, I didn't want to look like an idiot. So, I sat there, listened to her chatting away in her native tongue to her colleagues.
Then she quickly finished off my treatment with a single coat of nail polish and before I knew it, I was sitting with my hands underneath a little dryer and thinking to myself, this better look good tomorrow and wishing I had spent my time reading my silly book instead.
Anyway, it didn't look better the next day or the day after that, my cuticles started peeling and looked swollen. Now they're starting to look better after thorough moisturising but I'm thinking of getting them done again. Properly this time.
