OPI Soak-Off Gel Lacquer is here! Pinkies is excited to bring you this brand new treatment. No need to fear the drilling and filing associated with acrylics and other non-natural treatments. Gel lacquer goes right over your natural nail and stays shiny and chip-free for up to 2 weeks.

This service is perfect for long vacations, special occasions, and your busy lifestyle. Soak-offs are also ideal for people who have weak, nails prone to splitting and chipping.

Unlike a traditional nail polish, soak-off gel polish is painted on with a brush and each layer is “cured” under a UV light to dry. The result is a shiny, long lasting manicure. Removal is easy because the polish soaks right off. Similar to non-natural treatments, Pinkies recommends receiving a soak-off gel fill every 2 weeks.

We offer several of your favorite OPI colors, including Bubble Bath, Cajun Shrimp, Lincoln Park After Dark, and many more. You can also receive Soak-Off Gel Pedicures. You can slip into your shoes right away instead of waiting and waiting for the polish to dry because the color sets under a UV light.

We offer our Soak-Off Gel manicures and pedicures at all of our locations. Just call to book your appointment! Sign up online or over the phone to receive special email offers.

You walk into Pinkies, and you are standing in front of our extensive OPI and Essie nail polish selection. The color possibilitie are endless! You sit down for your manicure, and the manicurist asks what shape you want. Huh? Not to worry! Read on for what is trendy this winter and get inspired.

Shape

Nails should be less rounded, and more square…think “squoval.” They should be filed following the natural nail line.

Color

This season’s colors are BOLD, as shown in the latest runway fashions. Try out dark reds, pretty plums, rich purples, and navy blues. Pinkies has a lovely OPI purple perfect for this winter-”Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not.”  Take some fashion-forward risks and try dark browns and dark oranges. Copper and grey tones are also on the rise, as seen on actress, Blake Lively.

If these trends don’t appeal to you, just remember, it’s all about matching your nails to your own personal style. Healthy nails of any shape and color are always in style!

Your wedding is a really big deal to you and to us. Regardless of your taste and personal style, your nails will be on stage with you. Everyone wants to see you ring, and it is captured in photos forever. We’d like to be in know on all you can do with your special wedding nails.

Many choose a beautiful French Manicure. What you may not know is you can decide the type of pink and the type of white colors for your French Manicure. Options range from sharp to subtle, pinks to grays-oh the possibilities! This makes French Manicures our most popular bridal option…even for brides who never considered themselves “French Manicure” types. A fun alternative is an American manicure: white on the nail bed and the pink on the tip. Again, the color choices are many…extreme to subtle.

If a French manicure isn’t your style, we recommend a sheer polish treatment. We have so many options here from clear to silver to every soft pink you can image. This polish treatment includes a base coat, two layers of soft color, and top coat. Your entire nail surface will be the same color. We recommend this option for brides concerned about chips because chips are much less visible with light sheer colors.

Of course, you can always go with a bold color. We always apply a basecoat, two layers of polish, and  a top coat to help set the polish. If you do not regularly get nail treatments a deep color option can be risky for your wedding day. Polish takes hours to cure, and it could ding and dent if you are active. If you are set on a deep dark and beautiful color you must be aware of your nails. We want your day to be perfect too!

At Pinkies we offer color alternatives for those who prefer a no-color treatment. Even when you don’t want color, you can still get trimmed cuticles and shaped nails on your special day. Clear polish or a fabulous buff will leave your nails picture perfect.

Our Deluxe treatments include a massage and will fully moisturize your hands and feet. Deluxe Pedicures feature a fragrant exfoliating scrub that leaves your feet and lower legs smooth and glowing as well as a 10 minute lower leg and foot massage that will relieve you from stress. Deluxe Pedicures allow you to soak your hands and nails in warm oil and lotion and also include a massage.

Note to Maids and Matrons of Honor: we honor you. We’ve learned many things over the years, and at the top of the list is don’t mess with you. Let’s face it, you couldn’t love your bride more. You are under stress, on stage and responsible for your bride until she leaves for her honeymoon. Stay prepared for any emergency by picking up a bottle of your bride’s polish color (tip color for French) before you leave Pinkies. We will make this easy for as we are here to assist you. You matter to us too and want you to feel pampered.

The groom MUST get his nails done, too. Pinkies is hardly too frilly for men. We’ve been providing men’s nail care for years and men are a common site in our salons, and we take care of our guys just like we care for you. His hands are photographed with yours so his cuticles must be trimmed, nails clipped, shaped and perfectly buffed. A pedicure is also a nice touch for him on the Big Day. You see those feet…and wouldn’t clean, trimmed, filed and buffed toe nails on him make the honeymoon a little sweeter? We think so…

What better way to get ready for the isle than to book a party at Pinkies the night before or the day of? We can accomodate as many people as you need. Simply visit our website and fill out a party form.
