| - Great deal!
My test for every new spa I try is always a French style manicure and pedicure. Chances are if they can't paint a straight line, they probably don't have an eye for detail and perfection that I'm expecting. Shiny Nails did a good job.
It's not bad since you aren't paying premium. $35 for both manicure and pedicure (no surcharge for French style - that's a bonus).
My French pedicure was great. It's been 3+ weeks now and it's still intact. I think my nails are growing a little long now, so I'll have to cut them, but they haven't chipped. I put my feet through a lot too... especially with dragon boat, running and gym...
Because the shape of my fingers (they aren't all uniform), it's tough for the aesthetician to do a nice job on the French manicure. They suggested I went with a solid colour for my hands instead. I'm glad they did, otherwise I probably would have been very frustrated with the results. I like that my aesthetician took the initiative to make suggestions that suits me rather than try to wing it, just to please me. My manicure didn't last as long as my pedicure did, but that is because I'm banging my nails at the keyboard all day and scraping them against the side of a boat several times a week. Regardless, good job!
I wish the girl had spent a little more time soaking my feet, but I couldn't blame her since it started to get busy at the spa. I wouldn't suggest coming at peak hours (e.g. after work on a Thursday). The area where you dry off your nails got a little snug, but I had a good time chatting with other ladies.
If you are here just for your nails and don't want to shell out too much, this is the place for you! Don't expect a massage... but I my feet needs it so badly especially in the summer.
