Yes, it was an Israeli guy! He actually got a little too close for my comfort: standing close, picking up my necklace to admire it (I think he was just buttering me up). I mean, he was nice and he wasn't trying to make me uncomfortable, he just went past my personal space bubble and didn't know it.
I just did the whole kit on my nails just now, and I do feel like it worked. Made my hands look pwetty.
