R500 Dream Nails Voucher courtesy of Cosmopolitan

So a little while ago I won a dream nails voucher through Cosmopolitan Magazine.

Having recently received the most amazing Shellac mani and pedi at Urban Apothecary, I was quite excited for another one!

However, Dream nails don't do Shellac, so I booked their version of a long lasting paint job (some strengthened nail polish, I forget the name, and trust me you don't need to know it) in a mani and pedi, at the Canal Walk branch.
Now, let me just refresh your memory:

Urban apothecary:

Stunning.

This is Dream Nails's version:


So. Gross.  And the entire experience was just revolting.  And I bled.  Pedicures are not supposed to make you bleed.  Not only do I have a pretty terrible paint job on my toes, I also have scabs.  Lovely.

AND, the whole thing cost R575 (!)  so to add insult to (literal) injury I had to pay extra!

This was a prize, a freebie, and in hindsight I would rather have thrown the gift card away, as I now have to pay someone (else) to remove this mess.

A petty big fail for Dream Nails Canal Walk.  Urban Apothecary every time!
