White syrup one-color pedicure that lasted 3 months: Naeil Didi

Today I want to introduce nail nomads to a great spot for nails in Apgujeong Rodeo! I went to Naeil Didi haha

I first visited this place in summer for a pedicure, and true to its reputation for wedding nails, the finish was so clean and the hold was so satisfying that I came back for an autumn pedicure too

Finding Naeil Didi from Apgujeong Rodeo Station

Naeil Didi is right across from Galleria Department Store! It's only a 5-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station, so the location was really convenient

Naeil Didi is on the 6th floor of the building. Just book through Naver Reservation and show up. There's a ₩30,000 deposit, but it's included in the service cost, just so you know

There's an Apgujeong grilled meat restaurant on the 1st floor of the building, so it was easy to find

You need to head up to the 6th floor for Naeil Didi, but the elevator only goes up to the 5th floor, so you'll need to walk up one flight of stairs

Open until 9 PM

They're open from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM!! Since it's a nail salon open late into the evening, it's easy to stop by after work

Salon vibe - separate seats for nails and pedicures

The salon has separate seating areas for nails and pedicures, and the pedicure sofa was really comfortable

They even give you a hair-salon-style cushion so you can comfortably use your phone hahaha

You can see there are so many colors for nails, right?? As a wedding nail hotspot, Apgujeong sees a lot of clients coming for wedding nails, so they had every kind of color to fit everyone's needs, along with kindness and attention to detail

The nail seating area has such an open view, which was really nice

White syrup one-color instead of powder nails

When I mentioned I was considering the trendy powder nails these days, they immediately brought over a color chart!! Just so you know, powder nails cost ₩20,000 more than the base nail price~! I thought about doing powder nails in the middle of summer, but since it's almost autumn and I won't be wearing sandals much, I just went with a one-color white syrup nail instead

The summer pedicure held for 3 months, so removal first

This pedicure was also a one-color I got done at Naeil Didi, and the hold was seriously amazing, right??? It lasted almost 3 months without a single chip. So I started with removal. Removal costs an extra ₩1,000 per nail

The technician was so kind, constantly checking in to make sure nothing was uncomfortable!

Even after just removal and basic care, my feet looked so clean that I regretted not coming sooner hahaha

The removal was done so carefully and thoroughly, I was really satisfied~!

The pedicure process - from base coat to filing

They start with the base coat!! While applying it, they kept checking in to make sure it wasn't too hot

For pedicures you just sit and use your phone, and they really move through it quickly

Even though I went specifically for a white syrup pedicure, the technician still brought over 4-5 color options to test first!! In the end, we picked the very first white syrup color we tested!

They applied two coats so carefully, and at the end even double-checked that I liked the color

Turned out so clean, right?!

They finish everything off with filing at the very end

The pedicure came out exactly the color I wanted, so I ended up taking way too many photos hahaha

For a one-color pedicure, the basics matter most

For a clean one-color pedicure like this, the fundamental skill really matters most, and Naeil Didi's solid basics — from the hold to the technique — left me so satisfied

It really is a nail spot that earned its wedding nail reputation for a reason!! I left super satisfied and highly recommend Naeil Didi
