Rainbow Nail Salon

So this place is a bit expensive but good. I got tips which came out beautifully. Not too long which I like and coffin shaped. They have an extensive Essie collection which is amazing because my two favorite colors are wicked and ballet slippers, which are both from Essie. I got gel pedicure which I wasn’t extremely happy about because I got a light grey and you can see through it. Other than that, one of the employees did my pedicure, she was really nice and polite with a bubbly personality which I liked. The owner (she’s asian) did my tips, she doesn’t speak english, but she knows what she’s doing. As I said, it was a bit expensive, I payed $ 73 for everything but for right now I’m happy with the job.

Not a bad experience. The lady was nice and helpful even though her English was broken. A convenient place for a quick and dirty nail job. I’m happy with my results but I’ll probably update later to report how well my nails held up. They have a large Essie collection, and new pedi chairs still wrapped up. Pretty sure they will be upgrading soon.
Update: I has to scale back the stars because the nails did begin to lift pretty bad. Fortunately, all of the nails made it to my weekend event, but not without at least 5 of the 10 mails lifting some on both sides of the nail. Even a male friend of mine commented about them looking like they were getting ready to come off. Embarrassing!
I think it has to do with the technique she used. The brushed on some clear gel polish, then would dip my finger in a tub of acrylic powder. Then repeat about 2 or 3 times per nail. I had never seen this done before, and I have also never had my nails lift so badly.

Don’t go out of your way. I was living in the Heights with no car at the time, so basically, the perfect customer. My acrylics lifted so badly within the week that I couldn’t even get them filled.

Esther rocks this place!
Get the permanent french gel! yeah, it’s pricey, but guess what? it actually makes sense to spend more if it will actually save a trip back sooner than anticipated, so, you save money in the long run, capiche?
