My Manicure Review on Nail Works, Latham NY


Last week was the weekend getaway in Latham, NY. I stopped by in a local nail salon called Nail Works. Wonderful! Not too expensive compare to the city and the service was ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. The salon itself are pretty clean and spacious, no Jerry Springer type stuff on t.v, It was pretty quite.

When I said I wanted "something different" for my nail art they actually offered me more than just a flower. The girl was nice enough to actually put the nail polish on her own nail first to show me so I'd pick the color I wanted!


After a long drive from New York City, it was a very relaxing day. They did wonderful foot, leg, and hand massages all included in the deluxe mani and pedicure.


Quality of Manicure: I am pleased with the end result of my manicure. The color was applied evenly and fully covers each nail nicely.

Quality of Service: The workers were careful, diligent, and polite. They weren't talking smack on the customers in another language or anything like a lot of other places.

Overall Impression of Facility: I was very impressed with the facility. It appeared very clean and very relaxing, with huge pedicure chairs, lots of seating in the front of the store, and a small Zen fountain on the reception area.

Conclusion: Overall I enjoyed my experience at the salon and would definitely consider going back

4 Things I Hate About Summer

Everyone is putting as their Facebook status how excited and happy they are that summer is here and their don't have to go to school anymore.

Uhhh... I don't feel like that. Yes. I'm glad the semester is over, eventhough I'm taking 2 summer classes, but it will be done in July 1st. Everything else, I feel quite the opposite.

Don't get me wrong. I like the sun, but I just hate the hot weather, the sweats, the BBQ's and the bugs.


1. The Heat

The heat is by far the worst thing in summer. You’re sticky, sweaty, and smelly. You sit down and wanna take off all the clothes you have but still feeling hot. Every time when turning on the pipe, You feel like you can make a sunny side egg on any outside surface. Hate! Hate! to go into kitchen, it feels like an oven.

2. The Bills

I'm a lucky gal who have air conditioning in my apartment, but hey! My winter electricity bill gone up from $65 per month to $120 per month in summer time!


3. The Tan

I'm not pale skin or whatsoever, but I don't need sun tan and neither do skin cancer. I hate the sticky feel when wearing a sunscreen, but without it, I will damage my skin if I have too much exposure to the sun


4. The Insects

Flies and mosquitoes. Need I say more?

There's one pro. The beach was pretty nice :p
