Way to go, Genie.

I wouldn't wait a month before getting the fills however, there is too much risk of them detaching at the back. I have mine done every ten days.

I am unfortunately no longer able to avail myself of the services of the Vietnamese nail techs in the States, but I have found a sonsy Scottish lassie in Perth who does a pretty decent job. All done without power tools as well, but she manages OK.
