I went to Nailopolis to redeem a Buytopia certificate for a $29 Shellac mani and pedi and a complimentary glass of champagne. When I first walked in I noticed a display of handbags for sale as well as some Jewish music CD's which I thought seemed kind of out of place for a nail spa, but whatever. When I sat down I was offered a cup of tea which was served with a little cookie. The red colored champagne came later.
Instead of the big leather massaging chairs you'd find at a regular nail salon, this place had what looked like IKEA chairs fitted in striped slipcovers. The staff would bring a steel bowl filled with water for the foot soak. This was not included with the promotion, as I was told soaking will cause lifting of the polish.
All that was really done during the mani and pedi was cutting of the nails, a light buff and the polish application as well as applying your choice of homemade scented moisturizer. The staff was pretty friendly, but seemed to take a very long time working on my nails considering the fact that many typical steps were left out.
Overall, for the price I paid, the experience was ok, minus the fact that the polish on my thumb chipped two days later. For the regular price, I would not return here.
