In a contest of Hunger Games nail art, you wouldn't stand a chance. But to you, avoiding chips in your mani is an act of survival in itself.
We're offering a gel manicure for $19 (reg. $40) or two for $37 (reg. $80) at Valley Nails.
If you haven't heard of gel manis, you must be living under a rock where nobody cares what their nails look like. The hypoallergenic gel goes on like regular polish, but doesn't chip (holla!), lasts up to two full weeks, and requires no drying time. Plus, it contains no formaldehyde, toluene, or icky toxins.
Head to Valley Nails to perfect your digits—and may the odds be ever in your favor.
From Yelp (where Valley Nails has a 3.5-star rating from 44 reviews):
"I had Karen as a technician and she did a beautiful job. My regular manicures normally last about 24 hours before some chipping occurs or a nail breaks (my nails are so weak). The gel was like an answer to my prayers. My nails looked perfect for almost 3 weeks and not a single nail broke. Love it. I highly recommend Valley and Karen." - Mary M. (6/20/11)
"This place is AMAZING. I will honestly never go anywhere else for my nails. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed, the employees are delightful, and my manicure (I got a full Valley Set with red polish) is still flawless after 3.5 WEEKS. I still get compliments on my nails every single day." - Amy K. (12/7/10)
"I was in love at first site since in Jersey there is nothing but your typical mani/pedi and simple nail art. When I arrived i was in love. The shop is so quiet and relaxing and intimate. The lovely lady who did my art was spot on. My fiance went with me and had fun chatting with us ladies about the show Jersey Shore lol! Overall I had a great experience and cant wait to make a return." - Jessica H. (3/31/10)
