Shi-Nail Salon grand opening!

A.K.A.: "How 3 VERY under-dressed bloggers attended an opening event".
Conveniently located on Saba Road across from Richmond Centre, Shi-Nail is Taiwanese owner Shirley's biggest dream come true. With its minimalistic black and white decor, Shi-Nail fuses high tech nail salon with spa like serenity. Curl up in one of their space pod like chairs and surf the web on the provided netbooks while getting a pedicure or just lie back and take a snooze.
In addition to regular nail services, Shi-Nail also offers Japanese style deco nail - glitter, 3D flowers, pastries, cakes, crystals, you name it and they'll put it on your nails.
OPI, Gelish, Sparitual, Zoya and Qtica are just some of the brands they use in-house. For bling, they use only genuine Swarovski crystals for their unsurpassed shine.
A product catch your eye? Shi-Nail will order it for you and call you on its arrival! (usually the next day!!). We each hauled a bottle of the highly sought after and hard to find Zoya Remove+ after seeing it take off my China Glaze Atlantis in 2 swipes.
In addition to manicures and pedicures, Shi-Nail will also bling your fings! Bring your fing for them to bling!
Prices are really quite reasonable, $25 for a manicure, $36 for a pedicure, or get a combo for only $55! A full gel set plus extensions is $55 and an acrylic set plus extensions is $50. Deco nails start at $10 for French, glitter or gradation tips, 3D art is $1.50 and Swarovski crystals are $0.30 each.
Their address is: 115-8033 Saba Rd, Richmond, BC
Tel: 604-273-5888

The finished product

Obligatory NOTD. Notice how my fingers are the shortest and fattest. Kinda like the rest of me really.

Huge thanks to Ian of Special Design Unit and Shirley of Shi-Nail for inviting us to the fun filled afternoon!
