Ladies, in addition to my hair salon thread, I'd like to also collect the latest recommendations for nail salons. 

I'd be looking for a salon that does Shellac / UV cured nail polish thinly on top of a natural nail and does it well with a good choice of colors or perfect french manicure with UV polish. A place where they are careful when removing old Shellac / UV polish, so that they don't take off too much of the natural nail. 

I'm not looking for gel extensions or acrylic.

Location wise, the south of the island or around Chalong / Central would be ideal. 
 

I would visit  Central phuket Floresta . There are a few nail salons, and I should imagine some of the best on Phuket. I would not go to the smaller ones. Go and ask. I know the ones I’ve visited in Central malls elsewhere are very good. Not cheap but quality. If you don’t have your own transport you can take the local bus direct from Chalong to Central Floresta.  
ps, there are two sides to the mall, don’t miss the newer one. There’s an inside connecting bridge.

Perhaps a trip to soi 6 Pattaya?

Great to see ladies active in the forum!
