| - My mother-in-law treated us to mani/pedi's this past week and I feel bad that she had to pay for it.
I think her woman's name was Donna? Mine was Annie.
The atmosphere was great, low light, quiet music, great pedi chairs (just be careful pushing the buttons if you have wet nails (for fear of a lecture...) Both women were very nice. We spoke about our families, yada yada yada... however we're not paying to make nice.
Maybe my Vegas expectations were too high?
We got the "Express Mani/Pedi" which is supposed to be 25 min on each hands/feet. I gotta tell ya, "express" was exactly what it was. We totally felt rushed. In fact, when there was an air bubble in my nail, she practically snapped at me not to mess it up again (um, air bubbles are not MY fault) because they were about to close at 7pm. (Why book our appt at 6 if you can't take care of everything that comes with a mani/pedi by the time you're supposed to close???)
So, I carefully spent the rest of my time there not breathing for fear that a fleck of dust was going to settle on a nail and I'd get into trouble.
Anyway, while she was working on my toes, I noticed another flaw in another nail... not something I did... the polish was not evenly layered on my thumbnail... but alas, I stayed silent... I didn't want to be "that" customer.
That was our experience. Later, after looking closely at ALL my nails, I noticed it was very sloppy. My cuticles are all messed up. The polish is missing from most of the sides of my nails. And it's 2 days later and it's already chipping (and OPI polish won't chip like that if applied properly). Also, my nails are not even shaped evenly! How nice to have 2 rounded nails and a couple squared and even a couple more somewhere in between.
I left wishing I had gotten my nails done for $30 (along with a leg/foot massage) before I went to Vegas and would have rather burned through that $90 at the BlackJack table.
