So I just got what is probably the best — and without question the cheapest — french manicure I’ve ever gotten. Weigh that on the one side.

On the other, I’m a teency bit skeeved by a couple of things. First, granted, it was 2.30 in the afternoon, but I was the *only* customer in the joint.

Second, the guy (yes, guy) who did my manicure *itched*. Non-stop. And paused to scratch something about every 45 seconds.

So: super-cheap and really good manicure? Or does everybody in town know something I don’t?
