Elle Nails - Pedicure

I went and got a pedicure immediately after school (work) today because I have been wanting to get one for the last few weeks and haven't had time. (Or, lets be honest, whenever I have had time, my legs weren't adequately shaved.) Today the two lined up like stars in a constellation, and I was able to get my pedicure.

I went to Elle Nails on 86th and Zionsville. It was a fairly standard walk-in nail place with comparable prices. It was simply decorated, but nice. It did not seem to be well ventilated because it was the strongest nail chemically smelling place I have been to. The place was fairly busy, but I got in right away. The pedicure chair massager was really strong and almost hurt my back. My pedicurist was thorough, and gave me a great leg massage, but did not massage my feet at all which was disappointing. I originally picked out a crackle nail polish that should have looked something like this (but on my toes):

  

But the pedicurist had never used it, and couldn't figure out how it worked. There was a top coat somewhere that we were lacking. So instead I just went with a plain red. When I went to the nail dryer area and sat down, I was momentarily excited when I realized that that chair had a massager also, but alas it was broken.
