I first went to Kali’s Nail Supply on Thursday, May 6th around 1pm. Through a change of plans I ended up going with my boyfriend and my grandma. Quite interesting shopping partners and I still don’t know if I found the experience of taking them enjoyable or not.

Walking into Kali’s is like walking in to the proverbial candy store. Hundreds of bottles of polish line the shelves each in its own unique shade looking out at you calling like a siren song, welcoming you to get lost in their colors. They have a large selection of China Glaze, essie, and ZOYA with some ORLY and other manicure and pedicure essentials.

Kali herself is a wonderful experience as she flits around the store showing you new items, helping other customers, and giving a big dose of humor; all the while making you feel very comfortable in her little beauty oasis. Her husband Roger is very knowledgeable and helpful. Self-restraint is a must when shopping here, seeing so many beautiful colors will make you want to buy them all.

If you must buy everything in sight I would suggest waiting until the first Sunday of every month for their 1st Sunday Sale Day! Retail customers get 20% off store-wide with a $20+ purchase with cash or check and 17% off with credit or debit. This is a great time to stock up on the essentials like top coat and base coat along with picking up some of those higher end items.

The prices are higher than from many places you could buy from online, but they’re reasonable if you consider where we are plus personally I would rather spend a little more and be assured I know the color I’m purchasing. The convenience of being able to do down and pick up a bottle as opposed to waiting by your mailbox is also a plus.

Kali gave tried out a buffer on my boyfriend and this is what 5 seconds with the D-Files Buffer did to his thumb nail. She let him keep the buffer after and he kept being amazed at how shiny his nail was.
