Union Turnpike Nail Salons...The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

     As we all know, when driving up and down Union Turnpike basically anything we could even need can be found.  Tanning, sushi, Coldstone, numerous banks, bars, bakeries are all on a strip just a few steps outside of Gate 3. One thing that I've especially noticed is the plethora of nail salons that line the street.
     I swear, every three buildings is a nail salon. We have Cozy Nails, Kim's Nail Spa, that one building that just says Nail Salon and many more. If you walk down the street toward Beach Bum Tanning you will find a nail salon who has had their Grand Re-Opening sign up since we got here in August. Anyways, I want to fill you guys in on how good, or bad some of these salons are.
     I remember talking about my bad experience with the Shellac manicure at the one nail salon that had the Grand Re-Opening. So you can bet that I will not be giving good reviews on their services. My friend came along to get a manicure and nail polish was left on the sides of her fingers (so not cute). Although the price was very inexpensive the service was exactly what we paid for.
     Cozy Nail Salon was my second encounter with salons on Union Turnpike and lets just say that I was again, less than impressed. I actually didn't get my nails done there but my friend Veronica got her acrylic nails filled. Besides the dirty, dungy environment, Veronica's nails just flung off one by one in the following days. Now that is not worth the price she paid. Although $25 is not that over the top, I spend about ten dollars less at home and get way better quality. It is safe to say I will not be going to Cozy Nails!
     Now today my friend Melissa and I decided to pamper ourselves a little bit and get manicures and pedicures. She got the pedicure while I got the manicure if you were wondering. Anyways, I was very impressed with Kim's Nail Spa. The service, price and environment was everything that I could've asked for. Here's a picture of my finished product!
The Sparkly one is called Rainbow Connection and it's part of the The Muppets line through OPI!
