# Sky-blue one-color gel nails before travel: Naeil Didi, Apgujeong - By Sena K. (https://superchart.com/en/@powder-room-walks/) - Written Sep 6, 2026 - Local places › Hair & beauty salons › Gangnam, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@powder-room-walks/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@powder-room-walks/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/index.md) ## In short Naeil Didi is a nail salon on the 6th floor near Apgujeong Rodeo Station in Gangnam, Seoul. Ahead of an overseas trip, the writer visited on a weekend morning with a saved reference image, tested the shade directly on her nails, and got a clear sky-blue one-color gel manicure in 50 minutes. If you're indecisive about colors or looking ahead to wedding nails, Naeil Didi's consultation style is especially helpful. ## Good to know - **Location**: Under 5 minutes on foot from Apgujeong Rodeo Station, Room 601 on the 6th floor (elevator to 6th, then up half a flight more) - **Reservation**: Naver Reservation; non-members pay a ₩30,000 deposit - **Hours**: Open daily until 9pm - **Service time**: About 50 minutes for one-color (no removal of existing nails needed) - **Parking**: Available, per the salon *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Nails finished with sky-blue one-color gel](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-01-1ed7y-1200.webp) I don't usually get my nails done, but with an overseas trip coming up I wanted that travel feeling, so I went looking and found Naeil Didi in Apgujeong Rodeo. It's close to my office and the reviews looked good, so I booked right away for the weekend. From the consultation to the actual nail work everything felt so thorough that I'm satisfied — let me lay out the review haha. ## How far is it from Apgujeong Rodeo Station? ![Exterior of the building housing Naeil Didi near Apgujeong Rodeo Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-02-quzhd-900.webp) ![The path leading to the building where Naeil Didi is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-03-h8mzk-900.webp) Naeil Didi is less than 5 minutes on foot from Apgujeong Rodeo Station, which was super convenient! The building has an elevator up to the 6th floor, and then you walk up about half a flight more to reach Naeil Didi. ![Stairs leading up half a floor further to Naeil Didi's entrance from the 6th floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-04-tm156-900.webp) ![Door of Naeil Didi, Room 601](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-05-1byte-900.webp) ### Deposit and same-day guidance Booking is through Naver Reservation, and if you're not a member you can reserve right away by putting down a ₩30,000 deposit. ![Screen showing the Naver Reservation and same-day guidance text](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-06-stvqx-900.webp) On the day of the visit they sent me a text with guidance so there was nothing to forget, and they said parking is available too, so people driving over don't need to worry much. ## Salon atmosphere and color consultation ![Interior of Naeil Didi with natural light coming in](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-07-tddjq-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged nail treatment seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-08-xv6i5-900.webp) I visited on a weekend morning and the inside of the salon was really clean, with sunlight pouring in warmly through the windows — just being in that space put me in a good mood. Maybe because it was the morning slot, the natural light made just sitting there feel so much more pleasant. I'd brought a screenshot of the color I wanted, and they recommended a shade to match that feeling as closely as possible, which I really appreciated. ![Nail color candidates laid out during the consultation](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-09-wye16-900.webp) ![Nail color chips used for the color consultation](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-10-14pp6-900.webp) ### A consultation that shows the color right on your nails On top of that, they actually painted a few candidate shades onto my nails to show me how the color really turned out!! It's definitely different from just looking at a screen or a color chip — I could see right away which shade matched my skin tone, which made choosing so much easier. ![Comparing colors tested directly on the nails](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-11-17rfz-900.webp) ![Additional nail color options brought over](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-12-1xxpe-900.webp) Since I don't get my nails done often, I had no sense of what color suits me, but being able to try it on directly like this made me feel like the chance of a bad pick dropped way down. And since I'm a bit slow to decide... haha, while I was still mulling it over, they asked if nothing appealed to me and brought out even more options — I was so grateful, ㅠ. ## One-color nail service took 50 minutes ![The one-color gel nail service in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-13-13q61-900.webp) ![네일 시술을 받고 있는 손](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-14-1wdbr-900.webp) I didn't have any existing nail work to remove, so maybe that's why it went faster than I expected, finishing in about 50 minutes. There was nothing uncomfortable during the process, and I noticed they even adjusted the direction of the fan for my comfort — it really felt like they paid attention to every detail. ![Gel lamps set up for both hands](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-15-gqe0k-900.webp) ![Both hands placed in the gel lamps](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-16-lua5m-900.webp) ### Two gel lamps, one for each hand They also had two gel lamps set up separately, one for the left hand and one for the right, which was so much more convenient haha. Usually when I get my nails done I have to alternate one hand at a time in a single lamp, which is a bit awkward on the arms, but here each lamp was placed right where both arms could sit comfortably at once! It felt like they'd thought about even the small details. ![Sky-blue one-color nails in the final stage](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-17-gnot1-900.webp) ![Detail of the nails just before completion](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-18-1abxr-900.webp) ### Planning wedding studio nails two months from now I heard Naeil Didi is also known for wedding nails, so I'm thinking of coming back for my wedding studio shoot in two months. This time I just got a one-color, but with how carefully they handled every detail, I'm already looking forward to what they'd do for wedding photo nails!! ## Final thoughts ![The finished clear sky-blue one-color nails](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-19-1y2ok-900.webp) Ta-da, the clear sky-blue nails I wanted are done haha. Naeil Didi's careful consultation and the technician's skill were both really satisfying. They're open late enough that you could even go after work on a weekday — open daily until 9pm! Especially if you bring a reference image of the color you want, they'll show you the actual color test on your nails and match it for you, which should really help anyone who's indecisive about color. ![Close-up of a hand with sky-blue nails](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color-20-ffez1-900.webp) I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a daily nail salon, or anyone preparing for a wedding and searching for a nail salon~!! ## Where it is - Naeil Didi (내일디디) - 18 Apgujeong-ro 50-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 6th floor, Room 601 - 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/@powder-room-walks/apgujeong-rodeo-nail-sky-blue-one-color/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
