APL Nailtique

APL Nailtique is located on Holly Street in Thornton, Colorado, and is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM, with Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays closed. The menu is grouped into nail services and pedicures, with a combined Nails and Toes appointment for clients who want both done together.

Acrylic work is a core offering. Acrylic full sets start at $70 and take about an hour, while acrylic fills start at $65 and are recommended every three to four weeks, including cuticle cleanup and a shape and design of choice. Fills are only done over solid nude colors, so changing the base color means a soak off and a full set. Gel-X full sets with nail art start at $90 and can be done short, medium or long, and the price moves with the nail art chosen. Structure gel manicures, starting at $90, use a thick gel on natural nails and include a dry manicure, shaping and a design of choice. Structure gel fills and rebalances start at $80 for sets applied at this salon, and removal of work done elsewhere has to be booked as its own appointment.

Pedicures are offered as a dry service starting at $40, which trims, shapes and files natural nails and tidies the cuticles, then finishes with acrylic or gel toes and lotion or cuticle oil, without water. A wet pedicure can be added to a Nails and Toes booking. Soak off removal is available as an add-on, with a small extra charge when polish is still on the nails.

Booking details matter here. Clients who want to book two full sets together can use an appointment for two, which runs about four hours and requires a $30 deposit. Rescheduling has to be done at least 24 hours ahead to keep the deposit, and same-day cancellations forfeit it. Clients who don't show up and don't let the salon know may be blocked from future booking. Nail breaks or lost rhinestones reported within 72 hours of an appointment are repaired at no charge. Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000 with approval before the appointment, and gift cards come in set amounts or a custom amount and are final once sold. Questions can be sent through the website contact form, which goes to Ana De Luna by email.
