I am a nail Tec. I keep my hands short and natural, and my toes moderat and polished. Thow I can do them I don't like what acrilic does to ones natural nails.I do believe in Manicures But Pedicures are my favorite. People come in with sore tiard feet and I can really help make a diferance. If you have nails that are dry and brittle or soft and pealing I sudgest NailTec a clear nail strengthener that can help with one or the other problem!
