| - I wavered between 4 or 5 stars, but finally settled on 4. All in all, a fantastic gel manicure for $40. Just about perfect.
This was a spur of the moment visit on Black Friday afternoon. I wasn't about to brave the crowds or insane traffic, so Yelp led me to this place. Actually, it led me to a different place across the street, but they were actually closed, so Nail Story already beat the competition just by being open.
No one was in the salon. No other customers, that is. That did worry me a bit, but for $40, I was willing to take a chance. The place is open, airy, and clean. The lady at the front was nice. She had me sign in, and sat me at the table next to hers. Then another lady came to do my manicure. She was also polite, but not much of a talker. I'm ok with that. The small talk gets a little boring after a while.
She did a superb job with the cuticles. She didn't rush, and was very meticulous. The same can be said about her polish application. I didn't have a single bubble. My nails were absolutely smooth.
They had 2 different sets of colors. The set that she had me pick from didn't have a large selection of colors, and I had to settle for a shade of gold that I didn't prefer. It was fine in the end, but I'd like to see more colors. 2 weeks later, the polish is still intact, with not a scratch in sight. I had her paint a little snowflake on one nail, and while it looks more like a bamboo reed, it still did the trick.
