A local nail salon in Betoota’s inner-city suburb of Roma Hills has been rated as a solid 9.5/10, judging solely off the smell.
ToP pOLiSh can be found at the the sixth left-hand shopfront in the grimey Roma Arcade, just between the RTA and the prominent Australianised Chinese Restaurant, Red Lotus.
While no one you know has actually gotten their nails done at ToP pOLiSh, the fact that there’s always someone in there says enough – when you take into account how many nail salons exist in the world.
However, the real selling point in the stench of chemicals that smell like they could fuck you up if they were exposed to any part of your body that isn’t made up of the protective protein known as alpha-keratin (finger nails).
“Mmmm…” says one shopper, Kelly, while walking past with her girlfriends.
“Remind me to go in there next time”
While Kelly can not identify why she needs to go into that store more so than the two others in the arcade, her dilated pupils suggest her senses have been stimulated. Most likely related to the smell wafting out.
Much like the laundromat further down the shopping centre, the very visible lack of white people working inside the store also indicates that this is the best place to get a manny peddy.
