Nail Salon

I got the idea to build a nail salon when I saw feathers spinning around on a motor. I wanted to make something that did something for me. My nail salon does three things; it buffs your nails, it plays music and it can dry your nails. I used a reflectance sensor to tell when you put your hand in the box (it's really good at finding your pinkie). -Xavavier
