Creative Thinking – I love getting my nails done and love getting designs done. I chose this picture because its a picture of my friends nails when we got them done, I love the gems and the shade of green. The gems was a extra design that she got.

Critical Thinking – My information is the rough amount I pay for a acrylic set. I made sure my calculations were the same to what my salon charges me. To get a deeper French tip that is harder to do, making it a extra 10-15 dollars, which is a extra design. For my current set I have a glitter line on each nail which cost me a extra 10-15 dollars. I made sure my calculations would work by making sure each extra design would be worth the same value.
