Manicures.

Hi!  Does anyone have a suggestion for a reasonably priced place to get my wedding manicure on the strip?  I am getting married and staying at Caesars Palace but a shellac mani runs $135.  That seems super high.  I fly in Wednesday and get married on Saturday so I can't really get them done at home.  Thanks!

$135 for a shellac manicure?! That's insane!

My sister and I got shellac manicures at the Planet Hollywood Salon for $60. They turned out great and lasted 3 weeks for me!

I've been debating this myself, to do it before I leave or when I get there.

I would have them done on a Wednesday, flying Thursday, with the wedding on Sunday. Shellac lasts a long time, and only costs $25 at home.

Thinking I'll do it beforehand and have one less thing to worry about in Vegas.

I'm going off the strip for my mani/pedi. I want mine to be fresh for the wedding so I want it done the day before. I found a place not far from Paris (where we are staying) that is only $35 for a shellac manicure. Here is the link:

I did gellish (similar to shellac) at Mirage, I think it was around $80.  It lasted for about a month.  Also had one done at MGM for about the same price and it chipped within 4 days!  I was not happy about that, but I called and got my money back at least!  The hotel spas are going to be more expensive then a local off-strip place.  The one plus to the spas though is you usually have access to the spa area for day.

Are you looking for tips fake nails or just a polish?

I had shellac mani and reg pedi done before leaving for Vegas. Had them done on Saturday, and wedding was Thursday. They are just starting to chip now over 2 weeks later.

@jaime85129 just polish.  I called the Flamingo, which is a across from CP and they charge $70.  I probably will do that.

Wow im so in the wrong business. My personal opinion is just do a regular polish most professional work will last a week minimum. Just my two cents

I will be doing mine (shellac) almost a week before the wedding. I just cant justify $70 for it. My normal nailpolish with top coat lasts about 7 days without chipping.

A few months before my wedding I started to use Vinylux (from the makers of Shellac). I bought it from ebay and its been great. I wore romantique for my wedding day, which is the same shellac shade I was planning to use. Regardless of the brand (opi,essie, nails inc) I never get more than 2 days without a chip when using a regular nail varnish. I've had a lot more wear from Vinylux, its been lasting a week without chipping and it comes off just like a regular polish. I had been debating whether to get shellac in the UK, which really wouldn't have been successful four days before the wedding (too much growth in four days) or pay over $100 for shellac which would only have lasted half my holiday. I find that my nails grow so much with shellac that after a week it doesn't look very good. I do find that I damage my nail with shellac so Vinylux has been a great find.
