Used to have acrylic nails when the nail lady was my co-leader for girl scouts...we did our planning while she did my nails. When she quit doing nails I quit getting mine done. Tried a couple of other places but they did not do as nice work as Jan did. It ended up that the only other place in town was the oriental ladies & I could not understand what they were saying, even though they were nice and did a lovely job. Plus I decided that was $ that I had other uses for...like fabric!
