Birthday Manicure

A few days ago I got my nails done at Marie Nails in Manhattan~

I've only ever gotten a manicure twice before, but Eden talked me into going and I thought it'd be nice for my 21st birthday.  So I made an appointment for a cal-gel manicure!

I was a little bit nervous about going by myself, but at the same time I was really excited and started cooking up design ideas.  When the time came for my appointment I found the salon with no problem, but it turns out that I'm an idiot and made the wrong type of appointment so they didn't allot enough time for me to get extensions...

Still, the girls at the salon were really nice!  I didn't catch the name of the girl who did my nails, but she was quiet & super sweet.

So anyway, onto the nails~ they're short but still cute.

The cal-gels are sooooo nice!  The whole process took about an hour, and it came out to $52.  It seems like a lot for a manicure but consider this...the cal-gels don't scratch, they don't chip, they're super strong, they stay super shiny, and they last for about a month!  I love that I don't have to worry about ruining them, I think they're totally worth it.

Marie Nails also does rhinestones and other 3D art!

I can't stop gazing at my fingernails!  I think that I could easily become addicted to cal-gel manicures, they're amazing~
