As every girl.. I LOVE TO GET MY NAILS DONE!

MANICURE

OK. so since we still haven't got a house and I still don't have a job..
I've got all this free time during the day while Mike is at work, so what else is there to do other than GETTING YOUR NAILS DONE? ;)
I've been looking online for nail salons and trying to decide where to go.
There's plenty of them! all of them with different Menu's and Prices...
I lived in Tokyo for almost 5 years and though doing my nails here will be cheaper but i was wrong!
Prices are about the same and depending on the salon might be a little cheaper/more expensive.
One of my friends told me about the place she goes to, its called ASIAN at American Village.
she said they are pretty good and the price is not bad. she also gave me this card which is for customers to give to their friends so they get more people to go.
I decided to give it a try and go to Asian...
The place is really easy to find just look for a big sign "ASIAN NAIL SALON"
sorry i didnt take a picture of the place but here is their link and they have an access map!
http://www.nailasian.com/
I went there without making a reservation and lucky for me they had time! i only had to wait for like 15 minutes while the girl finished doing another girl's nails!
The staff is very friendly and most of them speak english, im sure you will understand them!
so i decided to get a standart course which was the cheapest and you can only choose from gradation or one color with 2 nail's art.
i got a turquoise gradation and after 60 min this is how it turned out!!

I was actually very happy with the results! and because of the card that my friend gave me to introduce me as a new customer i got 500 yen off so it was only like 2400 yen for my gel manicure!
You guys should definitely check it out!


PEDICURE


I was pretty happy with my manicure but i wanted to try different nail salons so i could see which one is the best and weather I'd go back or not ;)
This time for my pedicure i decided to stay on base (kadena) and try their salon!
once i got to the BX i saw that there's actually 2 places, the day i went "The Spa" was full so i decided to check out the other place which is called Simply Perfect Nail.
I wasnt sure if i should get a QUICK PEDICURE (2500) or a BASIC PEDICURE (3500) the difference was that for 1000 you would get art in 2 nails (big toes) and a massage.
I though a massage sounded good so i got the BASIC PEDICURE.

well, I wasnt very impressed with the massage.. It was so fast! less than a minute each leg.. I didn't think that massage was worth the 1000 more.. but the girl was pretty good at doing nail art! it was actually really neat and it looked like a nail seal but she actually do it with a very thin brush and it was very fast though.

here is a pic of the final result. I liked it, but i would definitely try another place next time.

actually after i got my pedicure done my friend told me about COCOK nail salon.
is also pretty popular and according to my friend they do nail art in every nail not only 2!
so i need to check out that place and I'll let you guys know how it went!
