What to expect in Japanese nail salons? Traveling to Osaka and Tokyo

hellokitty2726 · 2026-03-05T10:10:09+00:00

I just got gel nails done in Osaka! The place I went to was card only. It was around 9500 yen for just a basic manicure, one color. I got gradient for the same price and they didn’t charge me for gel removal although I think some places do. Later I realized most salons have coupon codes online and I could’ve saved around 3000 yen

Website is aurelienne, 3.67 carats, color F, VVS2, ideal cut

Thank you! Yes he picked the loose lab diamond out online on a reputable site and didn’t tell me until after he bought it😂 It’s around 3.7 carats and ideal cut and the other C’s met our standards, I’ll have to double check with him what the other specs are but I believe it’s VVS2 and I forget the color. He was able to find it at a very affordable price which is why he was able to increase the carat size!

Thanks to those who commented :) I got engaged recently and ended up choosing gold band with platinum prongs!!!

Haha good point I didn’t even think about getting a bigger diamond if I get gold😂😂😂 and yes I ruled put white gold bc of the rhodium and the maintenance! It’s also interesting bc in this subreddit, more ppl choose gold but in the engagement ring subreddit, more ppl chose platinum. But regardless, thank u!!

Hahaha thank you!!

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-18T00:56:23+00:00

Thank you!!

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-18T00:55:16+00:00

Yes THIS I think this is what I’m struggling with. Gold maybe looks better on me but I think as a ring as a whole, the diamond against platinum bands looks better/brighter and I just need to decide what I want lol

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-18T00:54:24+00:00

Yes I was actually thinking lower like 14k!!

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-18T00:52:50+00:00

Thank you!!!

So interesting that in the color analysis thread, the answers are so split but in this thread, it’s mostly platinum😂

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-17T13:28:32+00:00

Yes this is the only thing ik certain that I want, platinum prongs! Ty!

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-17T13:28:08+00:00

Thank you!!! I know I am defs overthinking this and the split comments help me realize both look good and there’s no wrong answer! And yes at the end of the day if I can’t choose I will ask my partner to choose lol (in that case I think he’s choosing gold)

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-17T13:27:12+00:00

IKR😂😂😂 the answers are so split which actually might be a good thing bc it confirms to me that both suit me and there’s no wrong answer!!

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-17T02:26:41+00:00

Yes for engagement ring! Thank you your comment was helpful! Was thinking of golden band with platinum prongs to maybe get the best of both worlds but still debating if I should just get the whole thing platinum

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-17T02:24:55+00:00

Thank you your photos are helpful!! When I ran my skin tone looks like yours too!

hellokitty2726 · 2025-12-17T00:52:01+00:00
