I love my new hand cream. I’ve been using it for more than a week and it’s great. For the past 2 weeks, I did lots of laundry and cleaning, my hands were not as moisturized by the end of the day and my nails became brittle. That cream helps a lot in preventing my nails from crapping.
I might not have time to go for manicure this weekend, so I might just file my nails by myself. I like to have shorter and rounder nails because I don’t want to scratch my kids accidentally. It’s best to keep them short with a nail file. That’s why I’m thinking of getting a new nail file because my old file is not as sharp as before. I wonder if I should just get the FOREVER FILE from nails inc. because this nails bar file has grits that last longer, and I just need to rinse and leave it to dry after every use.
After filing my nails, I would normally apply some nail strengthening polish to protect my nails. But if you are looking for related products, you can just get the nails inc. treatment pack specially designed for weak and peeling nails. Frankly, this set is so much cheaper than what I’m using now!
BTW, I need some nail colors this season. What do you think about the colors from “ready to wear spring summer collection 2008″ by nails inc.?
My medicurist asked me to try the black nail polish by OPI but I dare not try it. I always keep my nails short, and she said they will look best in black. I know that black is nice if you know how to carry the look, but I don’t know any stay-at-home mothers that use that color for their fingernails. LOL!
But for young girls, they can easily carry the nails in black just like the celebrities. Ayumi from Japan likes to paint her nails in black too, if you observe her pretty nails. But if you are working in a corporate world, I don’t think black works for your nails. Unless you are making a living selling online auto insurance at home without meeting your clients, then you can paint you nails in any color you wish.
What I really like about my medicurist is she’s not only friendly, she’s very creative as well. I admire her creativity in designing a lot of pretty nail patterns, but too bad I don’t have time and money to try out all of them! Just take a look at some of her work:
Did you see one with Burberry pattern?
I like those in blue!
If you like crystals, these are the few designs available
The lighter colors look great for a bride
So, are you curious about where her nail spa is? It’s somewhere in a commercial real estate in Bercham Ipoh. LOL! Cannot put up her address lah….
I went to pedicure and manicure today. It’s a routine which I will do at least once a month. I have got used to the pampering and I don’t like to file my own nails. I don’t even put any cuticle oil these days as I have been very lazy. LOL!
What I’m craving the most is the foot and hand massage which comes together with the pedicure and manicure sessions. It’s nice to have my feet and hands pampered and it’s enjoyable.
So, are you going for manicure and pedicure frequently as well? Don’t you just love them?
I wanted to try the 3D acrylic nail art when I was having my medicure and pedicure session last week, but my pedicurist said it’s not suitable for me since I practice yoga and I handle my kids a lot. I need to have nail extension since my nails are not long enough, so I will have to learn how to type with nail extension as well. LOL!
After some consideration, I dropped the idea. I should have done this for my wedding. I love nail art, especially those that I found from Japanese magazines. If I’m one of those sui lai lai (a rich man’s wife) who doesn’t have to type a single word, or turn on the faucet of the vessel sinks, or take care of her kids, than I will go ahead and try it. But how about yoga? I will definitely break my nail extension and that is very painful! Just imagine your nails being pulled out or broken abruptly, how will you feel?
So, I admire Jolin who can dance so well with nail extension and 3D acrylic nail art. Her nails are always pretty.
I haven’t been for medicure and pedicure for more than a month. I think I will get myself an appointment the latest by next week, before I am flying off to Bali. But in the mean time, I have to take good care of my nails by myself. I don’t have strong nails so I need to use the strengthener from OPI. It comes with a set, together with the essential oil for nails when I got them during a promotion.
Frankly, I don’t put the nail polisher by myself most of the time because I can’t type when I am waiting for the nails to be dry. Once, I spoiled my nails at 2am when I was cleaning up my kid’s jigsaw puzzle and that really pissed me off. So, I only apply top coat by myself, and do the color at the nail salon. I don’t know why, it’s less lightly to be scratched when she applys the color for me.
So, I better give her a call tomorrow. At the same time, I’ll be checking out the new summer collection too!
For those of you who work 5 days in a week, don’t envy ya? I also work, but when YOU ARE SLEEPING! If, I have every right to indulge myself in some beauty treats once in a while.
This afternoon, I went for pedicure and medicure again. I got some artwork done on the toes, and I love the colours! See, you need steady hands to do the artwork………
Sometimes, I’m out of idea what to draw on my toes. I’ve done so many pedicures over the years, and I have almost tried everything, except 3D artwork. Anyway, these butterflies looked nice on me.
As for my fingers, I did French medicure. But it was so high maintenance!!! I can’t even tried on the clothes when I went shopping later, I was afraid that I would spoil them. And yes I did, I spoiled my French when I was changing my kids into pajamas just now. It’s totally a waste of money! No wonder I didn’t have any French medicure since the day my kids were born. I better forget about it until many years to come.
This afternoon, I flea from the house as soon as putting my kids to their afternoon nap. I went for pedicure and medicure, which I haven’t done for more than a month. The beautician know that I wanted things to be done fast so both of them did the pedicure and medicure for me at the same time.
As usual, we chatted and she told me that her brother found Yun Nan was not effective in hair replacement. I was quite surprised to hear that because they are the most popular company in hair transparent locally, and I thought they are very effective. But well, maybe her brother was the odd one out because he didn’t follow the second course after his first. Dunno lah, all this thing really based on individual experience.
Ok, as long as my nails are nice, I don’t care much. But I scratched my toe nails when I was putting on my slippers and I didn’t realize it until I reached home. @#%%#$^@ Spoiled my nice colour only!
I got myself a little Me time today, but going for pedicure and medicure. I’ve signed a package for a while, and finally, I had the time to do it today!
When I arrived there, he manicurist was still busy with a customer, so I snapped a few photos at the salon.
The nail colours…
The pair of legs I wish to have but can’t forever…
Then I was this stickers…
I haven’t tried stickers before as all the while, I went for work art only. So, I was keen for a try…
After the medicure session, my fingernails are so much nicer! I don’t colour them, unless I will be attending some function. It’s inconvenient to keep them anyway, by taking care of my kids, so what’s the point of colouring them?
Then, I proceed to pedicure…..And the end result was rather disappointing!
*Sigh* The stickers looked ugly!!! I told the manicurist I hate it on the spot, so she suggested that I return a week later and do some work art on them. I should have chosen one of these designs…
By the way, if you are going for pedicure, please wear slippers. You don’t have to mess up the polisher huh?
