Pick a flavour of your favourite ice cream or create a sundae by mixing different flavours, we were told, about the creamy, new ice cream manicure and pedicure treatment at Nailspa Experience. In our head, we were craving for a sweet smelling raspberry scoop.

However, as with drippy ice cream, these visions came to naught when we learnt that it was not the real deal and this manicure was just trying to be as “cool” as an ice cream. The core ingredient of this delicious sounding manicure is a piece of salt with different nourishing minerals and softening oils mixed in it, which is shaped like an ice cream scoop. If not for the shape, it could pass off as a yoghurt manicure. The flavours available at the spa include, strawberry, chocolate, we choose summer rain, which had a sweet, citrus-ey aroma.

The process is like a regular manicure, which begins with filing your nails. This is followed with a scrub. After selecting your flavour for the scrub and salt, the sundae element comes in. Our nail expert, Asen, scrubbed our hands with deft movements, and even though it was just a manicure, we began to hit slow mode, soon enough. With cuticle softener rubbed in, our hands were dipped into a bowl with the bath salt and a cleaning gel.
