NorthAlabama Posted August 12, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Has anyone had acrylic nails put on while sailing on the Holiday? If so---were you satisfied with the results of them and what was the cost of it? Trying to decide to do them before I go, or just wait and treat myself while at sea one day.

luckycruzer Posted August 12, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2007 any Beauty services are uber expensive....If you dont already have nails..I wouldnt start there..not only high price..but if you intend to keep them after getting home, your nail tech will not know what to use, as not all products are compatable..I cannot use the primer..highly allergic...your cuticles get hot with a fever, itch, get red, blister and peel..been there done that...If you already have nails..get them done 2/3 days prior to cruise.,.My area and my gal is $25 for a re-coat w/gel..that is a brush on my real nail, and dip in powder..you dont have to cut your own if long..if you want tips, go at home to a reputable salon..if your just doing it for the trip, just get some glue on and do yourself..remember to bring glue etc for repairs..also if you dont wear them now, it will take you a few days to get used to them..dial phone, car keys, door opening, personal grooming etc.also sterilization practices may be lacking...good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
