Is it weird to bring your own nail polish for a manicure?

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

The place that I go to get my nails done is awesome with one exception: their color selection is horrendous. They have mainly old lines of OPI and I love the new Essie collection. Would it be a little out there to bring in my own polish and ask them to use it in lieu of their ugly colors?

No it is not strange, i have artificial nails done every month and i bring my own nails and powders. They do not think i am strange becoz i do this, many people bring their own items, like nail polish as its their favourite colour or something similar. No one wants to get their nails done in old horrendous colours, so i suggest you take yours with. and even if they do think you are odd, what do you care in the end? You will have GORGEOUS looking nails instead of having to sit with nails you dont want. It doesnt matter what they think of you, aslong as you are happy with your nails then go for it. And seeing as you are paying for your nail job, they cant really refuse you for wanting to use your own nail polish, the worst they can do is still charge you for using their polish. And even if they are rude enough to refuse, simply walk out, cancel your appointment and book another at a better salon where the person will do a better and more respectful job.

Anyone know of photographers that take photos (beauty) of nails? For brands like YSL etc.?

Currently researching this for photography project and need some photographers. People that shoot for advertisements – hands/nails up close.

Thanks!!

Could you be a bit more specific?
Do you need a photographer to do research on, or a photographer to send you photos to use in your project?

Either way I could send you hints on both, but privatly through email- paint_the_sky_blue@yahoo.com
