I had a wonderful experience at Fancy Nails. First of all I walked in about a 1/2 hour til close, but I was desperate and they were open on a Sunday, when my regular nail salon wasn't. So bonus there! They have a great big selection of polishes too.
I got a gel manicure from one of the male nail technicians and he was wonderful. He did such a meticulous job!! I think this polish will stay on for three weeks. It's been nine days and I usually see the start of the polish wearing off/growing out and .... nothin'. I bet I go 16-17 days with this polish on.
He also gave me some tips about my nails and how I should request that no drills be used to remove my gel polish at all as it burns and pits the nail bed... something I didn't pay much attention to as I thought I was going to a professional before who knew how to take care of nails. Salons that are in a hurry and treat customers like cattle tend to use those drills to get clients in and out fast.
The salon was very clean and the staff is wonderful. I highly recommend! Great experience and spot on dollar wise... $25 for a gel mani. I'm going to try a pedicure this weekend.
