I'm in the same boat as Shannon. My Japanese sister told me that water marbling and airbrushing is the most expensive form of nail art these days. All I know is that around where I live nobody really care for any kind of nail art. Water-marbling is way too over the top, and airbrushing is oh so cheap like only chop shops around here do. What's wrong with this picture?
