Synopsis: Drove an hr for nail artwork and left with none. Even though I had 2 cut nail beds, overall nail experience wasn't all too bad. Certainly not the BEST in town.Before I drove to Santa Rosa, I wanted to call Nail Artwork and confirm whether they specialized in nail artwork. I called and asked the lady over the phone, if she was able to create two nail artwork designs from a instagram picture... (snowflakes and a reindeer). Once I heard a yes, I jumped in my car and drove north.I came to Nail Artwork around 1:05PM (NOV 23, 2016). GPS took me to the wrong side of the plaza (near Anytime Fitness) *face-palm*, so make sure you call for directions, that plaza is hug lol. I came in and apologized for being late. I was waved over to a chair closest to the other side of the salon. I sat down and let the technician take a look @ my nails. She insisted I keep my flower designs since they looked pretty. She would "add to the design... fill in the gap that is your new nail." Unfortunately I had set my mind to a more Christmas theme and reindeers + snowflakes were it.*Note to reader * My nails were done on October 29th while visiting my mother in law in LA (more specifically "Polish Me Pretty Nail Bar" in Fountain Valley) if interested READ review.I guess they don't do powder gel here, so I ended up getting an acrylic fill. Wahhh! I had powder gel done and it looked weird to see a two tone nail. Oh well, i guess if it's concealed under two coats of nail polish, so be it. I handed the technician my phone in order for her to see the design I had wanted. She couldn't do the reindeer design, only the snowflakes. *Sigh*I drove an hour to be told "I can't" ? Oh well. You win some and you lose some. I ended up choosing a white polish and a coffin nail shape (AGAIN). Two of my nail beds were cut and the technician didn't even seem to notice... until she heard me say "ouch" when she sprayed alcohol over my nails. 35 dollars for an acrylic fill, 2 coats of white polish, 2 top coats, 2 cut nail beds, coffin shape and shortened nails? UPDATE: NOVEMBER 26, 2016My nails have chipped & peeled in a matter of days (3 to be exact). I called to have them redone and although she was willing to "take a look...", the hour drive isn't worth it just having someone inspect my nails. UGH. Read Less
