# Apgujeong nail salon: 40-minute magnetic gel one-color, Naeil Didi - By Yerin Mun (https://superchart.com/en/@euljiro-mirror-shelf-3/) - Written Sep 19, 2026 - Local places › Hair & beauty salons › Gangnam, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was provided by the business in exchange for the treatment featured in this post. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@euljiro-mirror-shelf-3/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@euljiro-mirror-shelf-3/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/index.md) ## In short Naeil Didi is a nail salon on the 6th floor near Apgujeong Rodeo in Gangnam, Seoul, a 5-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station. After three months with bare nails because of thin nail plates, the visit was a magnetic gel one-color in color No. 1 from the Nunnu line, kept short in a round shape, and it finished in 40 to 50 minutes since there was no old gel to remove. Even the fragile cuticles were tidied up without a single nick, making Naeil Didi a satisfying choice. ## Good to know - **Location**: 6th Floor, Unit 601, 18 Apgujeong-ro 50-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (5-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 - 21:00 - **Parking**: Available (paid) - **Pets**: Pets welcome - **Service received**: Magnetic gel one-color (Nunnu line, color No. 1), short round shape - **Time taken**: 40-50 minutes, with no existing gel to remove *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* It's been about three months since my last nail appointment! My nails are naturally on the thin side, and getting nails done regularly just made them snap and break like crazy ㅠㅠ So I took a whopping three-month break, and this month I finally decided it was time. Since it had been so long, I was debating what design or color to try, and realized I'd never done a magnetic gel one-color before — so I figured, why not this time. While searching for a nail salon with good longevity, I found that Naeil Didi near Apgujeong Rodeo was pretty famous, so I went to check it out. They had so many magnetic gel colors and types (I thought magnetic gel was just one thing, but turns out there are pearl versions and so many more..?), the view was great, and the color I picked was so pretty > < Let me show you in this post. ## Where is Naeil Didi and what are its hours? Naeil Didi is located at 6th Floor, Unit 601, 18 Apgujeong-ro 50-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Open daily from 11:00 to 21:00, with paid parking available and pets welcome. ![Exterior of the building where Naeil Didi is located in Apgujeong Rodeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-01-1niss-966.webp) ![Street view of Apgujeong Rodeo on the way to Naeil Didi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-02-6i21v-966.webp) ![Signage for Naeil Didi's 6th-floor entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-03-7wjp5-966.webp) ![Entrance to Naeil Didi's Unit 601 storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-04-1ot8p-966.webp) I followed the map and arrived. It's about a 5-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station — felt like it's been a while since I came to Aproh (haha), and it put me in a good mood being back after so long. ![Interior of Naeil Didi's manicure service area](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-05-owa09-966.webp) ![Naeil Didi's dedicated pedicure space](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-06-19oxn-966.webp) ![Nail table and lighting at Naeil Didi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-07-1uc5e-966.webp) ![Overall view of Naeil Didi's interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-08-1xytg-966.webp) ## Inside Naeil Didi: the 6th-floor view and salon layout Naeil Didi is above ground level, so the view was great. There's a separate space for comfortable pedicures and a separate space for manicures :) ![View of Apgujeong Rodeo from Naeil Didi's 6th-floor window](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-09-apx7f-966.webp) ![Window seating at Naeil Didi that feels like a rooftop café](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-10-gr4l0-966.webp) Naeil Didi 💖 has an amazing view since it's above ground level. It felt like being at a rooftop café. ![Sign displaying Naeil Didi's membership benefits](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-11-19kxq-966.webp) ## Membership perks and the nail art of the month Here's the membership sign-up perks at Naeil Didi, and the benefits were seriously solid. Nearly everyone who was there getting their nails done seemed to have already signed up for membership! ![Sign for Naeil Didi's art of the month design](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-12-sijm3-966.webp) This is Naeil Didi's art of the month — Naeil Didi's strength is this kind of extended, elegant, feminine nail style, sitting somewhere between Aegyo-Sal and femme. That's why they're also known for wedding nails, and a lot of brides-to-be come here before their wedding. ![Display of magnetic gel color tips at Naeil Didi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-13-1846h-966.webp) ## Which magnetic gel color did I choose at Naeil Didi? This time I decided on a magnetic gel one-color. While browsing the colors, I settled on Nunnu's color No. 1, circled in the photo. The pearl in Nunnu's magnetic gel line sparkles like it's been sprinkled with jewel dust — so pretty. The nail artist told me No. 1 is genuinely their most popular color > < Everyone take note ✨ ![Selecting Nunnu line's color No. 1 magnetic gel](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-14-1wz6a-966.webp) I came in a rush and hadn't even taken off my old nail polish, so my nails looked pretty rough ㅠ Let's get this glow-up started!! ![Nails still with old nail polish before the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-15-kfhw1-966.webp) ## Short round shape and cuticle care on thin nails My nails grow pretty fast, so I asked for a short round shape. She checked the overall length of each nail carefully, examining every angle as she shaped them! ![Shaping nails into a round shape during the service](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-16-r8zko-966.webp) ![Cuticle care in progress at Naeil Didi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-17-1htzn-966.webp) Then came the cuticle removal — if you've seen my other nail salon reviews, you'll know my cuticles are really, really weak. Out of five salon visits, three or four usually end with blood and scratches. But at Naeil Didi, my cuticles were cleaned up perfectly with no damage at all. If you have weak cuticles too, I think Naeil Didi would work well for you. For a magnetic gel one-color with good longevity in Apgujeong Rodeo, I'd definitely recommend Naeil Didi!! ![Finished nails with Nunnu color No. 1 magnetic gel one-color](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-18-eu1xg-1200.webp) ![Close-up showing the sparkling pearl of the magnetic gel one-color](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail-19-1jogs-966.webp) ## The finished nails and how long the magnetic gel took Here's the finished shot of the magnetic gel one-color — since I had no existing gel to remove, it took about 40-50 minutes. If you need gel removal, it'll probably take a bit longer. The color is so pretty, right..?!! Magnetic gel really looks best in person, ㅠ it's a shame the camera can't fully capture it..💖 With the view, the price, and how kind everyone was, this visit to Naeil Didi in Apgujeong Rodeo left me in a great mood. At Naeil Didi, they apply a nutrient treatment before the nail service, which apparently helps the color last longer. Looking at other reviews, everyone praised the longevity too. I think it'll easily last over a month > < ## Where it is - Naeil Didi (내일디디) - 6th Floor, Unit 601, 18 Apgujeong-ro 50-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 압구정로50길 18 6층 601호 - 37.5272405, 127.0377807 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%B4%EC%9D%BC%EB%94%94%EB%94%94/@37.5272405,127.0377807,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@euljiro-mirror-shelf-3/apgujeong-rodeo-magnetic-gel-one-color-nail/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
