Acrylic Nails

[Living_life2019]

I know that I got a full set of nails done on the ship before, but it has been a couple of years.  I looked at the service menu for the spa but I do not see that they offer acrylic nails or something similar.

 

Does anyone know if they still offer this service?  I will be sailing on the Pride...:)

I don't think so. I wear acrylic nails and I had a couple chip and needed some nail glue when I was on my last cruise (Feb 18 on the Glory) and they couldn't even find nail glue in the salon.  I know they can do polish but I don't think they can do acrylics

FWIW, find a nail salon you trust at home and get them done before you leave.  Even if they could do it on the ship, you would be paying at least 4 times what you would at home.  I always prefer to leave for my vacation ready to go (nails done, hair freshly cut, etc.).

I usually do, but I have spa credit that I need to use up..:)

When I had acrylic nails, I would carry a heavy duty nail file and non acetone nail polish remover when I traveled. Don't use nail glue for "lifting" as bacteria can get trapped and cause an infection.

I agree with others, not only are they not equipped, I wouldn't pay what they might ask... if you have a spa credit, maybe consider a massage or a facial?

I believe the spa is now doing gel nails.

If you do it incorrectly, yes it can.  I have been wearing my nails for 20 years and my nail tech is my best friend and she has taught me how to properly "tack down" lifting nails in cases like this.  I was on a 2 week cruise and was not going to be back in her salon until we came home a week later. No one except her (or one of her co-workers on rare occasions) have ever done my nails.  I would not advise any one to do it themselves, I just stated that I went to the salon looking for nail glue  and they did not have any.
