How to get heavily designed acrylic sets?

I've never gotten acrylic nails before but I'm wanting to try it. I know nothing about how getting sets works though. If I want a really intricate design like possibly with charms is that something I need to tell the artist before hand so they can prep it and just apply the nails or do they do it there like they would other types of sets? Do I need to bring the charms I want?

I hope these aren't dumb questions but I really have no clue lol

Creating buy-in under admin expectations?

I'm at a new school this year teaching 7/8th choir. Admin has decided that every class for the first 2 days of school we need to present a lesson on school expectations(that we're already going over in homeroom) and do the same activities across the board. My concern is that I want to get them engaged, making music and having fun basically right away so that they buy in and want to stay in the program. In my experience middle schoolers are fickle and it can be a struggle if you don't hook them quickly.

I'll sneak in what I can, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced something like this and if it affected the buy-in from students to have things sort of be delayed? If so do you have any advice? Thank you in advance.

Alternative texting app to Google Messages?

I'm on an Android phone and they're discontinuing the default text app and pushing to Google Messages. Even if I didn't care about the privacy aspect it has nothing but 1 star reviews from the past few months so it's just trash it appears. I don't want anything fancy, most people I know don't use WhatsApp so that's not an option, I just want a basic messaging app. What's a good option? Thank you in advanc

Trying to dye red keep getting pink.

I've been trying to dye a white dress red which I thought would be easy. It's 100% polyester and I'm using Rit's synthetic dye the scarlet color. I've used 3 bottles in 2 rounds at this point, I'm boiling it super hot the whole time, I leave it for the full hour(even a little longer) and the 2nd time I used their color fixative on it afterwards. When I rinsed it looked like the color I wanted but then it dried dark pink. I dont know what I'm doing wrong please help.
