For me, Nexgen is the best nail enhancement product on the market when it's done right. I can go on the average three weeks between needing a fill without having any issues of the nails breaking or lifting. The key is finding someone who truly knows how to use this product line properly and it has proven to be nearly impossible for me to find anyone in the West Palm Beach area who truly knows how to apply the Nexgen product properly. I discovered Nexgen over two years ago at a place on PGA Blvd. in the Gardens called The Polished Nail, and while I think this is an outstanding salon, it is simply not convenient for me as I live in West Palm Beach, about 30 minutes away. So I have been searching for a salon closer to where I live where I can get a Nexgen manicure that has technicians trained in using this product line. It seemed for the longest time that most salons had the product but didn't have anyone on staff who was truly trained in how to use the product properly. Getting a Nexgen manicure by an untrained tech can leave you with nails that look lumpy and uneven but event worst, they will break and chip very quickly.So imagine my surprise on Christmas Eve , while running around doing last minute holiday errands, when I saw a brand new glamours nail salon that had opened up just by the grocery store. I needed my nails done badly and I knew I didn't have the time to drive up to the Gardens. So I figured what the heck , why not give this new place a try. Well the VENETIAN turned out to be one of the best gifts I got this season because I now have a fabulous new nail salon that offers NEXGEN with a well trained staff that is conveniently located in downtown West Palm Beach at City Place. The first thing you notice is how gorgeous the facility is with several fountains, velvet chairs and marble floors - it's obvious a fortune was spent on creating a space that will offer a first class experience. The front desk staff are extremely friendly and ask if you would like a complimentary beverage while you wait to see your technician. With beverage options ranging from wine to water , I was happy to be given a glass of wine I actually wanted to drink! And while all of this is very nice , it would all be meaningless without a well trained staff. So I'm excited to say that the real reason I am able to give the VENETIAN five stars is because they have on staff one of the most talented nail technicians I have ever received a manicure and pedicure from. His name is "TOM" and he is without a doubt my new nail guru. I highly recommend calling and booking him in advance , he's a perfectionist who did exactly what I wanted. Also he is obviously very experienced as the manicure didn't drag on forever like some manicures can with less well trained techs , and while he is very focused on what he is doing ,he is also very pleasant to talk to, just an all around perfect nail salon experience!!!!! My Nexgen manicure was absolute perfection. On this particular day I was getting ready for a holiday party so I thought it would be fun to make my nails longer than usual and pointed, a shape I had never tried before - Tom nailed it making my holiday nails extra festive.I love everything about this salon , it's well priced, spotlessly clean with state of the art equipment and a super friendly, experienced staff. Also it's located at the end of City Place, close to Publix grocery store, making the location very convenient and easy for parking. For me this was a Christmas gift I will enjoy all year long!I've posted two photos of the same manicure but fifteen days apart. The first photo was taken December 24th. But after two weeks, my nails had gotten too long , so I stopped in on January 8th and had Tom file down the length of my nails and change the shape as I find this shape easier to do work. Can you believe - fifteen days since I had the original manicure and as you can see, I didn't need to have a "fill" and I didn't have a single chip or break! This is what you can expect from a NEXGEN manicure when it's been done by a true professional like TOM! Read Less
