I decided to give Nail Spa one more shot, mainly because the pedicure I got on my original visit was so long lasting. And also because it was a Sunday and the place I was going to try for a gel manicure was not open.
I am definitely happy I gave them another shot. I didn't catch the name of the lady that did my nails this time but she seemed like she was in charge. I had her cut my nails down a bit, I think part of the problem with the last manicure I had was how long my nails were. She also used a glittery sheer pink on my nails which I love... They look natural from a distance but if you look closely they have a nice shimmer to them.
The only downside to my visit is that the lady that did my nails was doing another gel manicure on someone at the same time, at the station next to mine. The lady had received a pedicure by another employee, which makes me think perhaps Nail Spa is only having specific employees do the gel manicures.
I was there a little longer then I would have liked because of this, but almost a week later my nails are still absolutely perfect... Being there a little longer then expected is worth a better quality manicure in my opinion. I just wish I could get the same, high quality and long lasting manicure every time...
