It's not fake to be plastic

When I think of acrylic nails, I think porn stars and Tara Reid. I think of those horrid red French manicures and I just recoil and turn to my sensible ballet-slipper-pink nail polish. Now, doing your nails need not be a demure venture. Dashing Diva Nail Salon at Beauty Bar at Rockwell Power Plant Mall makes nail maintenance a fashion adventure. Unlike the tough and brittle acrylics of the past, Dashing Diva customizes your next-to-nail plastic pieces (very breathable and quite easy on the nail given its flexble but sturdy texture) to your nail shape. Like thumbprints, no two hands are alike! Using the fun but high quality products of Dashing Diva, your manicure becomes an instant party for your digits. Consulting for Dashing Diva is this year’s nail technician of the year in the US, Patricia Yankee. YStyle’s Wendy Puyat-Hotung and I were lucky enough to have her do our nails. Having my first Dashing Diva set on my hands, I’m a convert! The spoiled Diva treatment is a mini micro-dermabrasion feast for nails, while the nail and feet spa are indulgent treats using masque and moisturizing potions. It won't be open till next week, but anyone worth their cute tips should start booking their Dashing Diva day at Beauty Bar.
