Nail Time {milk+}

After a very long and rather atypical Monday, I decided that treating myself to a much needed manicure and pedicure was well deserved. I guess I have never gone to get a mani/pedi on a Monday before because my usual nail salon was closed. And since my nails had reached the point of no return it was time to branch out and give milk+ (on Polk and Filbert) a try. 
I have to say milk+ has everything I look for in a relaxing nail salon experience.
{comfy chairs and adorable ambiance}
{variety of both trash and style magazines}
{excellent assortment of OPI and Essie polish}


And not pictured but another bonus: they serve hot tea. Sold!
Self-pampering is such a great way to end a Monday, I highly encourage it.

:) Looks like a great place... somehow this whole mani pedi culture is non existent in Europe. We do have salons... but they don't even come close to the ones I've seen in the US. Score for you! :)

There is something about nailpolish all in a row that makes me giddy. I have been trying to think of display options for mine instead of just clumped on top of my dresser!

So glad you made it to Milk+. I've been talking it up since it opened. It's cute, not too expensive, the ppl are friendly, and they can usually always accommodate walk-ins. What color did you choose?! ;) -Sheila
