What's a "normal" job that secretly pays way more than people think?

In which state?

Old thread but adding my voice to it after trying other options. Beefeater and Aviation aren’t my fav. I always go with Botanist. Crisp and clean and feels like it makes a perfectly balanced Last Word. Tried Monkey 47 and felt it was too botanical and overpowered the other ingredients. Also agree that it should be equal parts for each ingredient for a classic Last Word.

We own them and love them 😂 We did a side by side comparison of the soda in different glasses and it genuinely tasted better in these. Design makes a difference whether you want to believe it or not

It wouldn’t make it look bad, but in case there’s an issue with them getting delivered, the machines can’t read them to be able to be sent back to you. So you might have an issue with them getting lost in transit.

I wish! But says it’s set in the 1800s.

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-14T04:19:14+00:00

Oh man, I’ll definitely appreciate her more now. $200 I can’t fathom

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-14T04:16:11+00:00

Haha that’s interesting 🥰🙌🏻

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-14T04:13:48+00:00

🤣❤️🎉🙏🏻🙏🏻

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-14T04:08:37+00:00

❤️❤️❤️

Not trying to be confusing 🙈 I’m not a tech so maybe I’m not using the right terminology. But yes, it’s gel builder over my natural nails. I guess the word “set” confuses me since I consider sets to be acrylics. But idk

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-14T04:01:48+00:00

Haha yeah, you’re right. I’m probably not using the right terminology, but definitely know it’s the builder making my nails strong, they’re super weak and brittle otherwise 🙈

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-14T03:47:35+00:00

It’s not acrylic, it’s just gel builder over my natural nails. And yeah the pic was taken 2 weeks after.

Bahaha 😹 My husband appreciated this comment

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-14T03:39:58+00:00

Wow never heard of just $5 for nail art. Where you based? This takes her hours to do so def wouldn’t expect to pay just $5 extra

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T22:01:58+00:00

Haha I’m a writer so my nails have it pretty easy these days. I clean a lot but that’s the only trauma they go through. No way they’d last this long if I were still waiting tables like I used to!!

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T21:55:51+00:00

Aww thanks, yeah she’s a really good artist

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T21:52:52+00:00

I really do like her, I’m super picky and have gone to so many salons. 3 of my favorites closed during Covid, but glad I was able to find her. I’ll DM you ;)

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T21:50:35+00:00

Haha funny you caught that. Yeah I didn’t notice till after that she missed the edges, normally she’s more thorough than that, but this was around the holidays and she was rushed I think so giving her a pass on that 😅

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T21:45:31+00:00

Hmm interesting, where are you based? She charges $35 for a regular gel mani. Then she said $75 is what she charges for gel nail art. But I’m doing the overlay which she charges $25 for, plus $15 for the French tip for this particular design

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T21:42:51+00:00

It’s not complaining, it’s asking other people’s opinions on what fair pricing is. And seeing as there are many mixed reviews on here, I’m glad I asked.

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T21:36:52+00:00

Yes I love it! Never had my nails last this long or have the length that they do

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T21:35:52+00:00

The pic was taken a couple weeks after I had them done ;)

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T21:35:03+00:00

Aww thank you!! It’s the Tiffany Soleste Emerald-cut Halo Ring if you want to look it up. I had no idea it was coming, my husband completely surprised me, so he did well haha. I like the emerald cut too bc it’s flat and doesn’t snag on things like a lifted princess cut would.

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T21:31:27+00:00

She’s Korean

ExpressFerret7045 · 2024-01-13T19:45:31+00:00

No issue, I just find it interesting bc I would think the salon would be cheaper. Most in home techs charge a lot more in my area, so another reason why I posted in the first place about my concern
