How was your Easter? Ours was wonderful! We spent the day over at my mom’s and step dad’s house along with my sister and her family. We didn’t have your “traditional” Easter meal though, my sister smoked ribs, sausage, and chicken that just feel off the bone. Talk about some good eats!

Enjoying lunch with the family!
After we rested a bit from all that food, they brought out the Wii!! There is nothing more fun than seeing grown men compete on a Wii!! Well, maybe there is. It maybe seeing two grown sister’s competing, boxing at that!!
It was a tie match for the record!
(Sorry not posting pictures of that event!!)

The “boy’s” boxing…they REALLY get into it!

Bowling with Brittney and Lee…Brit won!
We had a great time with the family. It was a wonderful way to spend the holiday!

Cousins, aren’t they a cute bunch!
The day ended with me having a reaction to my solar nails. Now I have worn solar nails for years, but I went in for a fill on Friday and noticed that my fingertips started to burn slightly and itch later that evening. It happened the time before, but not as bad, I had asked if the tech had used anything new, she said no.
Well, to make a long story short, I started noticing that not only did my fingers really burn and itch but they had developed blisters on my fingertips!! My hands were swollen and red, started to really hurt so my sister went and got some acetone for me and we spent about an hour getting my nails off. I have to say, I was pretty miserable, it felt as if ever nerve was on fire and I was about to jump out of my skin.

Pretty, huh? See the blisters under the nails…they HURT!
I took some benadryl, put some cortisone cream on my hands and prayed for the best. By the time we got home, I took some more benadryl and went to bed. This morning my hands look and feel so much better! Couple little blisters, but the swelling and redness is gone. I’m really curious what they used on my nails. I have never had a reaction like this in all the years I’ve worn them.
Have you ever had a bad experience with a nail salon? What did you do about it?

I haven’t had a bad experience, but I’ve never worn “solar” nails; acrylics, yes! Glad you had a good Easter!

Cool weekend! Our’s was pretty lowkey = just the way we like it.
Mine were acrylic though. I have no clue what solar nails are.
Yes! I’ve had a horrible experience with nails before too - they drilled through my regular nail bed and it bled like crazy. They jsut said, “Sorry” and kept on going. Yikes!

I’ve never had artificial nails, but last fall my nails were all grown out to the same length and looked really nice, so I decided to apply some polish, which I rarely wear. Found a very old bottle, applied it. Things were fine for about a week, then they started to break and peel. One nail has never stopped peeling. Your situation looks awfully painful.

Loved the pictures and I am so glad you had such a wonderful Easter and a good time with family. That’s just the best!
OUCH….I am SO sorry about your nail experience. I wear solar nails and have never had a problem. I hope you are able to find out what happened or maybe you should look for another salon!!!
