It's sweldo day for almost everyone! And because the holiday rush is felt more than ever, we suggest you treat yourself to a quick trip to the nail salon this weekend. Plus, Christmas is just a few days away, so you have an excuse to spend more. Instead of getting a regular mani-pedi, indulge in gel polish services!
Gel nail polish services are a bit more expensive than regular mani-pedis because: 1) Gel nail lacquers require both precise and careful application, so the nail technician must be trained well; 2) Their formula is cured under UV light, so it dries quickly; 3) Gel nail polish lasts longer so it's sulit because you won't have to worry about it chipping—your paint job will look super fresh and glossy for up to four weeks!
Now that you're convinced, here are our fave nail salons that offer gel polish services.
