Recently, I was browsing through Google Play for applications and came across an app named "Princess Nail Salon". It is quite interesting to see all the gorgeous looking women in this app. A basic look at the application reveals that this is a community chat application that allows users to post notes about their manicures and pedicures and also to get text messages from friends and family. Being that this is a community-based application, there is no central database or server and the application uses its own queue, local storage and some open source features to connect to the Google Play servers.
In fact, I think it is a clever idea to use a mobile application as a traditional chat application but I was somewhat disappointed by its primary focus of "spas"nail salons". With regards to the salons feature, it should have been more personalized and there should have been more focus on its own database which allows users to search for salon services by location, type of nail equipment and hours. But despite these issues, I really liked the application and how it changed the way I communicate with friends. It is highly customizable and makes your phone appear a lot more chic.
The app can be downloaded from Google Play and is also available for free download on the Android Market. The way to download it is as follows. You need to first go to Google Play Store and login with your Google account. Then, click on the menu and select "Download Application". In the screen that appears, click on the link and save the application.
