Has anyone ever had a full set of false nails done whilst in Korea?

I am thinking of going a bit mad and having a set done complete with transfers on the nails Laughing

How much did you pay?
Where did you have them done?

I've seen them done a lot at pronails in Itaewon, and they looked quite good. I think I've got aprice list for them somwhere at home, will post more info when I find it.

I had it done for 70,000- no nail art, though. All dept. stores have nail salons these days- go to Hyundai, Shinsegae, Lotte, etc. dept. store, and they are usually off in the corner on either the young women's floor or the ladies' floor. Beware, though- fake nails are really dammaging, and every single woman I know who has false nails, gets fills on a regular basis, etc. told me not to do it. You can get nasty fungi if the tools aren't sterilized properly, too.

Also, you'll have to pay to get them removed. Anyway, I just think they are a pain in the ass! You can expect to spend a good 2 hours having them applied, as well. Pedicures, though- they are so worth the money, especially if u get the foot massage for a little extra $ Wink

Ah, I see your point Periwinkle. I don't fancy getting any of those bugs. I guess I will have to grow my own nails Laughing
