pink and white nail repair in Playa????

blondyinnh · 06-13-2007

I'm trying these new pink and white. Does anyone know anyone around Playa who does them in case I break one???? Thanks in advance

No idea (not surprisingly).

But you could try the 'Bleu' salon on 10th Avenue just North of Avenida Constituyentes. They're one of the more professional places.

I have no idea what that is, although I do get manicures and pedicures regularly. My guess is whatever that is hasn't reached Playa yet.

Is it a French manicure?

There is a place I walked by on 5th that did Acrylics....Also off 5th on the way to Royal PDC they do gels & Acrylics...

Take a nail file just in case!

I think the pink & whites are just as strong as the regular acrylics so they should be ok, just don't do any mannual labor!

I do pink & whites in the summer and painted in the winter...all acrylics So you should be just fine. If you break one, more than likely it's going hurt like a mother

and you'll have to bandaid it for the duration. I usually take extra polish for the tootsies since the sand is harsh on them. Have a safe trip!!!

That is called an American Manicure. I think the French Manicure one is clear with white tips, but any spa that does nails should be able to do that for you.

Pink and whites that I get have white acrylic on the tips then a pink acrylic on top. I do have a habit of breaking acrylics on occasion. These actually feel a little sturdier though

pink & white r the best!!!!

i always have them at home....

but if i'm in PDC

i can' worry 'bout my nails

I am cracking up right now!! My husband complains that I break my nails on every vacation we are on, but I never do at home (it is true)....I have spent hours looking for a nail place in Las Vegas (not hard there), Cancun, South Beach/Miami (expensive), Key West, Grand Cayman...
I appreciate your foresight Blondyinnh!!!

Just wanted to bump this up again seeing that I'm coming back and still have these puppies? Any new salons doing these? Good to know these things lOL

If all else fails, ask at the front desk of your hotel where you can find a salon to have your nail(s) repaired.

Depends on who you ended up renting with, I guess.

Resort have manicure places. i don't know if the Ai's would let someone just go to the Salon or Nail shop if you werent actually staying at the hotel. I just get my nails done 24HRS before I leave and hope that they stay strong. I had a paint color change in Playa and it was $20.00 USA

. i pay $7.00 for color change in USA. Expensive there. On a similar topic, is there a tanning salon with a spray tan service in Playa? I tend to burn so I like to spray it on like the Mystic Tan. The lotions from stores make me streaky. Do this too before leaving on vacation so I have a base tan for the beach.
