Something amazing happened...I won a competition! AHHHH! *Gasps for air* So ZA Bloggers Circle (@zabloggerscirlce) and Salon Caprice (@beautyroomsaloncaprice) recently held a competition for us Durban Bloggers, where if we entered, we could win a free mani or pedi done at their salon in Durban North. I of course wasted no time in entering, and then the next thing I know, is that I was one of the selected winners! I legit jumped for joy because I knew that I was about to have some slaying nails done - and just in time for my birthday! *SCREAMS* Here's what my experience was like at Salon Caprice... When the winners were announced I was contacted by Candice, the lovely lady who owns Salon Caprice. She congratulated me and kept me in the loop about more information to come about my nail appointment. Soon after, I booked my date for the 26th June, and everything was a done deal! She asked me what I have in mind for my nails, and I knew that I really wanted to go all out. That being said, I sent her a picture of a beautiful stiletto pink acrylic set - and she assured me that what I want can be done, and boy, was it done to perfection! Come the 26th June, I unfortunately had to reschedule on the last minute, and so I messaged Candice who was kind enough to move my appointment for the 27th June - I was so grateful and appreciated this quick change. The 27th June had arrived, and it was officially nail slay day! I was super excited to get my nails done. When I arrived at Salon Caprice in Durban North, I was immediately impressed. It was in a very private area, and it looked so posh inside. I was warmly greeted and welcomed by Kami, AKA the BEST NAIL TECH OF LIFE! She then showed me to my seat at the nail station. Everything was set up so beautifully and was super organised - which I loved. Kami and I started chatting about what I want done on my nails, and I told her I would love a pink chrome look done on some stiletto nails, with acrylic. To my surprise she even had the colour that I wanted laid out on her table, customised to my taste of pink! If I was impressed before, that was nothing, because I was blown away this time! Kami took the time to custom make the shade of pink I wanted, and that's something that really meant so much to me. The pink shade was the perfect baby pink. She also had a stunning chrome powder on the side, as well as my fave, glitter pink powder. WOW was I about to be spoiled! Kami began working her magic on my nails, and I must say - she was very gentle during the entire process. She first started with adding some tips, and then cut and shaped them according to my taste. She then moved on to adding the acrylic on top of the nails, and it was all coming together. She always stopped to ask me if I'm happy with the way it looks, which I was every single time! I could see how passionate she is about doing nails, which makes her an absolute perfectionist, and therefore, won't be satisfied until you tell her that your nails look perfect. I totally related to her because I am the same! Whilst doing my nails, I was served with a refreshing glass of ice water with a lemon, and we talked about any and everything. She's super friendly to conversate with, and we really had such such a blast chatting up a storm. It took her about an hour to get the pink acrylic and glitter done on my nails, which I was so impressed by. She then moved on to the fun part and began adding the chrome powder on my nails. She suggested a lavender chrome powder to make my nails stand out even more - and I gladly went with her suggestion because I was thinking the exact same! She used an applicator and spread the chrome dust onto the pink, and y'all! It legit looked like magic! I've wanted chrome nails for the longest time, and I finally got it - and I was totally over the moon! After the chrome, she added two coats of clear polish to hold everything together - and I put my nails under the UV Lamp for about two minutes per hand. When I took my hands out, she added a final clear glossy nail polish, and I was DONE! I am super impressed and excited about how stunning and perfected my nails look! Honestly, my nails have never looked so good, and it's all thanks to Kami . She went the extra mile for me, was patient, dedicated and payed so much attention to the details on my nails. Candice, Kami & Salon Caprice truly treated me like royalty and I am so humbled and thankful for that. I can't wait to go back there and get my nails done by a true expert! Thank you Kami, I absolutely love my nails! You can get your nails perfectly done by Kami at Salon Caprice too!
