May be looking for a gel manicure, any recommendations on the Dutch side? I have natural nails so don't need to soak off.

Have you ever used Georgina’s? Or possibly Georgianna’s in the Simpson Bay Area? Assuming they’re still there, used them years ago and was well-satisfied with them. But again, it was years ago……and things can change! 🙂🙂

I have two places I go to. Beautique is closer to where you will be: on the corner of Airport Road and St. Patentia Rd. next door to Pollos Hermanos. You get a card that entitles you to a free mani or pedi after six visits. The gals are very nice and they also have beautique items for sale (flip flops, purses, dresses, etc.). LINK to Beautique

A bit further, but in my experience, better at the cleanliness aspect, is Georgina's Nails in Miss Lali's (sp?) center; it's the orange 2-story building down the road from Bush Road Carrefour. Extremely clean, and Lidy (Georgina's daughter) does an excellent job. Even though I'm staying at Horny Toad this trip, I think I will go back to Georgina's even though Beautique is closer.

I get acrylic fills with gel polish. If all you want is a gel polish, Beautique would probably work well enough for you.

Thank you both. I've ran out of time and may have to go if I can tear myself away from the beach.

I use Beautique. Love the punch card for a free service. When hubby and I each get a mani-pedi, it adds up quickly.

But also, I have natural nails, so I cannot speak to gel or acrylic. I stopped getting those a few years ago as I felt I was just pouring money down the drain.

Out neighbor also uses Beautique

I managed to go prior to arrival but thank you all for info.

Lidy is the best! Even with crappy nails. They come out great.
