$79 for manicure and Shellac. I had one on Quest earlier this year and it was excellent if expensive!

Has the salon begun offering dipped nails? I hate the gel on my fingers as it peels. I’m trying to figure out if I need to shift my maintenance schedule at home to prepare for my cruise dates or if I can take care of it on the ship.

Get nails done just before your trip. Use a light color and relax.

I’m aware that’s a possibility (and what I typically do) but that wasn’t my question. For a 16 night sailing that spans the holidays, it’s easier to NOT disrupt my normal cadence if I can avoid it.

When I was onboard in July/August on Sojourn they didn't offer dipped powder only gel, acrylic and standard. I did find the choice of colours limited and generally conservative but that's just me.🙂. I am taking some chrome powders for my long Quest cruise and hopefully they are okay to use them and mix things up a bit.

Thank you! My nail specialist here thinks I’m the most boring client with my ultra-neutral nails, but that’s a great idea for mixing things up.

 

I’ll start altering my standing appointments now so that I can stretch my dip, but I’ll plan a pedi midway.  😍

I have done it on a pale pink and a slightly off-white and the off-white especially had a lovely pearlescent sheen. Better than I have achieved just using nail polish. I haven't tried it on a nude colour yet but that is my next experiment.
