5 /5 Mara Ruth: I was tired of my manicures lasting less than a week from a different salon in town. I live close by to Tropical Nails so I decided to pop in. I got a mani/pedi. My manicure lasted beautifully for just shy of 3 weeks. Pedi still going strong. Linda did my manicure. She is an artist who works with her heart. I went back and she recommended for me to put powder under the gel manicure to help keep my nails healthy. I am in LOVE with this fresh mani and will definitely go back to Linda!
