I never pamper myself when I'm in Vegas, it's more the other usual stuff- buffet, drink, party, repeat.
On this particular Vegas trip, I just wanted to hang with my friend and relax while hubby went to dayclub, so I found this nail salon on Yelp. The plus it's on the strip and next to Encore, so I just had to skip across the street!
I made appointments earlier in the week, but we still had to wait a little, and my friend and I didn't get to sit in chairs by each other, but we were still close enough where we could talk.
Gel mani- they have a TON of colors for you to choose from, and also a bunch of nail art samples. I chose a light pink and showed the nail artist a pin of glitter nail art, which she was able to easily copy. She was super friendly, chatty, personable, and took care that the color was the right pink I wanted
Pedi- a guy did my pedi, and he did a great job with the massage and polish application. He also pointed out that I had an ingrown toenail, and trimmed it off. I was literally amazed because I've gone years thinking that's how big my toenail was supposed to be!
It took about an hour 45 minutes for my friend and I to get our manis and pedis done, but they did a great job. Of course, it's pricier than it would be to get your nails done anywhere else not in Vegas, but if I want to relax again, I'd definitely come back here
$40 gel mani
$30 pedi
