I paid $160 for a Japanese gel manicure, and they really are way better than American ones

• I get my nails done every three or four weeks with extensions, gel, or intricate designs.
• This time, I paid $160 for a Japanese gel manicure at Tokyo Nails in Chicago.
• The manicures are supposed to last longer and be better for your overall nail health.

When I worked in retail after graduating from university, I found that having well-manicured nails caught customers' eyes and made all the difference in making a sale.
