Updated July 2013: Accent on Nails is no longer offering Mobile Nail Treatment but they invite you to book an appointment at their salon in Kitsilano.
As soon as I wake up in the morning I think about my little one and start planning our day based on what actives we are doing. Usually going to our weekly mommy and me classes, play-school, play-dates, Science Center trips and more.
We are busy pretty much everyday and there is not really enough time in the day for me to go to a salon to get my nails done. Besides, I can’t imagine him sitting in a chair for almost an hour while I get them done. Not possible.
That’s why I was super excited when I found out that my favorite nail salon in Vancouver {Kits}, Accent on Nails, was now offering a mobile nail treatment service (Shellac Manicure and Pedicure) specially for busy moms.
The last time I went to the salon was before I got pregnant so getting my nails done in the comfort of my own home was amazing. A girl from the salon came to my home right after my little one went down for a nap and I got my nails and toenails beautifully done with Shellac Gel.
She was very friendly and professional (She has been doing my nails for years before I became a mom so it was nice to see her again after the looong break) and she brought all of her nail equipment with her. Including the new nail files that she uses for you only and then you get to keep at the end of the appointment. Love that!
All of her equipment was super clean and neat and my favorite thing was that the special Shellac gel she uses has no harsh odors or fumes. It looks like regular nail polish when applying but it doesn’t smell like nail polish. It goes on top of your natural nail and it can last up to 4 weeks.
I just absolutely loved the look of my nails. I love having beautifully done nails without having to worry about peeling. My nails peel so fast when wearing regular nail polish so I usually have bare nails to avoid having to do them every other day.
So far it has been two weeks and after multiple showers, cooking, washing dishes, changing diapers, washing my hands many many times during the day, giving my little one baths and more my nails are still looking great and I have no peeling.
Something else I have to mention is that she is great with little ones. My son woke up after his nap and as he came out to say Hi! she was really good with him and made him laugh by making silly faces etc. I really love when people get along with my child and she was great and easy going.
If you are local and want to try her services be sure to mention discount code “OneSmiley” when booking your appointment for a $5 off discount on her mobile Shellac manicure/pedicure services of $80.
I find the $80 price range very reasonable for getting a Shellac mani/pedi at home considering that going to a salon means you have to pay for child care, gas, plus the regular non-mobile nail fee of $60. Be sure to check out her website for more promotions and before and after photos of her nail services.
Note: There is a small fee added to her mobile service package depending on some locations (remote locations pay extra). Contact the salon for more details at 604-732-3117

Great idea! Love they come to you!
I would like to try the mobile nail services because I like the idea of them coming to me. That way I don’t have to get a baby sitter or take my kids with me to the salon.
Because I’ve only had time for one manicure since the kids were born (December 2009). If someone came to me, I’d FIND time.
I like the idea of them coming to me which saves me time.
Your manicure looks great
Thank you Elizabeth 🙂
Considering I can’t go anywhere without my kids either taking off, touching then breaking something, or just being annoyed by the whole experience this would be an amazing treat.
would like to try because my nails have never had a manicure.
your nails look fabulous!
Thanks Emily 🙂
I have very little time and am always on the go, so their service would be perfect!
I’d like to try because manicure makes me feel pretty.
I like the use of in home service, this would be good for other ages, not just the younger generation but for the elderly or the people with disabilities who can not go out. A pampering can make you feel better.
I’d love to try the mobile nail service as it would be so convenient to have someone come to your home at a time that fits into your schedule to do your nails.
convenience with having kids at home

it would be great in time for grad
What a fabulous convenient idea! This is so appealing in so many ways. Obviously she did a great job and whats better than having them come to you? It would sure make life easier especially when you have to haul your kids around with you.
I am having hip replacement surgery in a couple of weeks, so this service would be such a blessing!
especially in the winter months it means not having to go out in the nasty weather

this would be great for my mom who has some mobility problems right now and would love to have her nails done
I’d love to get a french mani from her! 😀
i like the idea of getting my nails done while LO naps!
The mobile service is very handy for the women on the go!
I don’t live in Vancouver, so I can’t try this, but it would be great as I have 3 small children who are not in school yet and no child care.
because I’m so busy
I work at home and log a lot of hours every week. It would be great to have someone come and do my nails rather than me having to make time to travel to the salon.
Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity. ~Pauline
Am disabled and it is sometimes hard to leave the house
It would be great when i need to be pampered but can’t find a babysitter
thanks

I think that it would be convenient that they come to me and for a busy mom of three that would be great!
The convience of having someone come to your house and not have to run around is ideal.
I have youngs and hardly ever get to leave the house without them! This would be easier.
I am physically disabled and rarely leave the house or bed for that matter. Not complaining, it could be alot worse- but this would be a nice change and treat for myself.
I went for a a manicure once and to be honest I was a bit self-conscious. So I believe I would use their mobile service for sure.
It would be so relaxing to have a manicure at home. They did a nice job on your nails. So pretty.
It’d be a good gift for my mother or wife.
It seems fast and convinient.
I would love to try their services because I have never had a manicure before,and would be so excited to be able to get someone to come to me!

Convenience!
I think it would be so much easier than trucking my toddler to the beauty salon where I know she’d get into instant trouble!
I think it would save me time and would guarantee my nails would look great.
I would try them because it would mean I could get these services in the comfort of my own home instead of braving a busy salon
Great idea and your nails look fantastic!
It is very convenient for the busy woman.
I would love to try the mobile nail service as I am always in a hurry and the convenience would ber great for me.
Love the idea for the busy woman
It is very convenient.
I like the idea of having this service in the comfort of my own home.
I don’t like the smell of salons
Sounds like a great time saver, and a manicure is always a great way to spoil yourself!
If they had one in my area, iw ould love to try it. I have never had a manicure before
I would like to try it because it is so much more convenient than having to go somewhere
it seems to be time efficient
It would be nice to be able to get my nails done in the comfort of my own home. I wouldn’t have to worry about getting all done up or being late for an appointment because i wouldn’t have anywhere to go.
What a fantastic idea! Sometimes it’s so hard to get out and get my nails done, would be great if they come to me!
because my nails look terrible!
I love the look of nicely done nails – but never have time or money!
i love having my nails done, but i never have the time to get around to it or the money it can get expensive and it hard for me to justify spending money on nails but i love gettin them done! i think its cool that they come to you i would totally love to try it out!
oops under follow with G+ i accidentally put my email i meant to put Myra Rzepa! sorry!!
I work with my hands in the mouth and wear gloves, I really need to have some sweet nails/nail care done… one day!
FB ID: ladybugcda finds me
Such a great way to have a moment of relaxing without having to leave the home…awesome idea.
i would try the mobile nail service it is so much more convient
not having to smell the nail salon
I would LOVE that! My life gets so crazy busy and it is so hard at times to get out to the salon. I used to go faithfully to my local nail salon every 2-3 weeks and I quit because I just didn’t seem to have the time and when I did, I was too exhausted to go out. I would love to be able to sit at my table with my tired heavy eyes and get my nails done. Great idea!
A convenient way to host a bbq & treat the girls … a great addition to a girlie get-together!
I’d like it because it looks convenient
I like the conveniency!
This would be very convenient.
It sounds like such an easy and convenient way to pamper ourselves, I would love to win
I could get my nails done while the baby sleeps.

To save time.
I would love to try it for the convenience.
I am usually very busy and it would really help me because I love getting my nails done but don’t always have the time.

What a great idea!! As a busy lady I’d love to be pampered in my own home!
