8 best nail salons in JB for gel mani-pedis & trendy nail art from S$9

Yahoo22-04-2025
One of the wonders (and let's be real — horrors) of being a girl (or any high-maintenance person regardless of gender, really) is the constant cycle of self-maintenance. Some call it self-love or pampering, but when you're going to beauty spas and nail salons at least once a month, it can feel more like a chore than a treat.
That's why it helps to sprinkle in a little sparkle. Instead of just a basic haircut, why not throw in some highlights? Instead of a simple mani-pedi, go for adorable gel extensions with rhinestones on top. It's the little upgrades that make the routine something to actually look forward to.
But we get it — nails, especially gel or even press-ons, can get surprisingly complicated (and painfully pricey). So to make things easier, we've rounded up 8 of the best nail salons in JB that may or may not break your bank — starting from just RM30 (~S$9).
Tucked away in Skudai, Mine Nail Artisan is your go-to sanctuary for a little me-time magic — think manicures, pedicures, and the kind of service that makes you feel pampered from start to finish. With a sparkling 4.9-star rating from 236 Google reviews (at the time of writing), it's safe to say people are loving it here.
What makes this spot even better? They're often available for last-minute bookings — though we'd still suggest planning ahead if you're prepping for a big event, just in case!
From the essentials to full-on glam, their menu covers it all: Express, Classic, Princess, Paraffin, IBX mani-pedis, and more. Love gel nails? They've got you covered with similar treatments — plus extensions, in case your natural nails need a little boost.
Their meticulous designs start from RM80, ranging from viral dreamy cat-eye polish to playful cartoon charms — basically, pure eye candy for your fingertips.

The Dark Truth Behind Disney's Fairy Tale Endings — GeekTyrant

Disney gave us the happily-ever-afters we all grew up loving, but the original stories they were based on are far from magical. Many of these classic fairy tales, rooted in the works of the Brothers Grimm and other folklore, have endings that are haunting, violent, and downright depressing. From tragic deaths to brutal punishments, these tales weren't written for kids, they were cautionary stories with dark lessons. An infographic titled The True Endings of Disney's Tales reveals just how crazy these original conclusions really are. Check out the infographic and see just how twisted these stories were before Disney sprinkled on the pixie dust.

Berlin celebrates Pride parade with techno beats and rainbow flags

BERLIN (AP) — Tens of thousands of people danced to techno beats across Berlin on Saturday to celebrate the city's Pride parade, one of the largest LGBTQ+ celebrations in Europe. With rainbow flags and bottles of beer, Germany's capital city partied under overcast skies, an upgrade after days of downpours, to observe and honor Christopher Street Day. The annual Christopher Street Day parade commemorates the 1969 Stonewall rebellion in New York, a spontaneous street uprising triggered by a police raid on the Stonewall Inn gay bar on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. Berlin's parade took revelers past the iconic Brandenburg Gate and through the Nollendorfplatz neighborhood, home to the city's gay culture as well as a memorial to the queer people who were persecuted and killed in Nazi Germany. The city's first Christopher Street Day occurred on June 30, 1979, in West Berlin. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.

LeBron James is reportedly trying to stop the spread of viral AI 'pregnancy' videos

It seems like LeBron James' legal team has been trying to stop the spread of viral AI videos featuring the basketball star. As 404 Media reported , a law firm representing James has sent a cease and desist letter to a person behind an AI platform that allowed Discord users to make AI videos of James and other NBA stars. As 404 noted, these videos have been circulating for awhile but it's one particularly strange clip that seems to have gotten James' lawyers involved. The video, which reportedly racked up millions of views on Instagram, shows a pregnant James being loaded into an ambulance after telling an AI Steph Curry to "come quick our baby is being born." 404 reports that at least three Instagram accounts that had shared the clip have since been removed, though the video is available on X . The founder of the AI platform used to make the videos also posted about the cease and desist letter he received . It's unclear what is in the letter, or if James' lawyers were also in touch with Meta about the videos. We've reached out to the company for more info on its rules. Of course, LeBron James is far from the only public figure to grapple with unwanted AI versions of themselves. Social media scammers routinely impersonate celebrities to promote sketchy products and other schemes. We've previously reported on such scams involving deepfakes of Elon Musk and Fox News personalities that have proliferated on Facebook. Jamie Lee Curtis also recently had to publicly plead with Mark Zuckerberg to take down deepfaked ads of herself. A still from a clip created with Google's Veo (left) and images generated by Meta AI (right) (Screenshots via Veo and Meta AI) But the videos of James are a little different. They don't feature fake endorsements and seem to be more of a prank meant to go viral in the way that lots of "AI slop" does. And James and other celebrities will likely continue to have a difficult time preventing these kinds of deepfakes from spreading. Some quick testing by Engadget showed that it's relatively easy to get AI chatbots to create images and video of "pregnant LeBron James." We first asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot to make such a photo. All chatbots initially refused, saying that such an image could go against their guidelines. But when given an image of James and asked to "make this person eight months pregnant," Google's Gemini delivered a 7-second clip of the basketball star cradling a pregnant belly. (We've reached out to Google to clarify its rules around such content.) Likewise, Meta AI seemingly had no reservations about producing images of "pregnant LeBron James" and promptly delivered many such variations. While these creations aren't as detailed as the initial video that went viral, they do highlight how difficult it can be for AI companies to prevent people from circumventing whatever guardrails may exist.
