No not much yet. I’ve had a few of their offerings before but recently just the GOAT.

I think the holy braille was just not my kind of stick. Very aggressive flavors in the first 3rd 2nd third smoothed out a bit and went back to kinda aggressive in last 3rd.
 
I'll hopefully catch the late crowd tonight. If I miss you, have a good week! (If I catch you, have a good week too!
 
So, after our conversation on nail salons last night, I dug into it a little bit as I had a nagging feeling that the individual I named was incorrect. Alas, it was Tippi Hedron who pretty much jump-started the manicure business for the Vietnamese in the 1970s, and not Ladybird Johnson. From Wiki:

"Hedren played a role in the development of Vietnamese-American nail salons in the United States.[118][119] In 1975, while an international relief coordinator with Food for the Hungry, she began visiting with refugees at Hope Village outside Sacramento, California.[1] When she learned the women were interested in her manicured nails, she employed her manicurist to teach them the skills of the trade and worked with a local beauty school to help them find jobs.[118] Hedren's work with the Vietnamese-Americans was the subject of several documentaries: Happy Hands, directed by Honey Lauren, which won Best Documentary Short at the Sonoma International Film Festival in 2014[1][120][121] and "Nailedit: Vietnamese and the Nail Industry" which won the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) 2014 Documentary Fund Award.[122] CND and Beauty Changes Lives Foundation (BCL) have announced the BCL CND Tippi Hedren Nail Scholarship Fund to support professional nail education and will be administered starting January 1, 2014.[123]. Hedren was instrumental in helping a desperate Nguyen Thi Chinh to enter the US after the fall of the South Vietnam government in 1975, she arranged for an air ticket and a visa for her and then invited her to stay in her house.[124]"
