Avant's Manicure Stations

After my toenails were painted and I was escorted to the manicure room to enjoy one of my favorites, a spa manicure. If you must know, I get a professional manicure quite often--it's one part of my body that looks good whether I've gained a few pounds or not, lost a night's sleep or broken my leg.

I have to admit, though, that I don't know that much about "fake" nails. I have my own set, naturally attached and have never had to buy some to wear. One of the manucurist at Avant explained to me the whole thing about acrylic nails, though. Now I'm an expert, I guess: there are two types of nails: tips that you just glue on or the sculptured nails that are handmolded and shaped. At Avant Day Spa, they only do the sculptured nails.

There are three manicures to chose from at Avant: express manicure, full manicure, and spa manicure (cuticle treatment, clip, file, hand massage, paraffin treatment and polish change). You can also get the polish change and paraffin treatment separately.

After my nails were buffed and polished, I was headed for my European facial.
