Appreciation night

They say, "Work hard, Play hard." Indeed, we had a memorable day at Pink Your Nails, Colour Their World charity event.

I am really really touched that so many of our graduates and students actually make time for the charity event. To the extend of applying leave from work! #super感动 to see everyone get together for a good cause. The event was a great success thanks to everyone of you!

To show our appreciation, PinkRoom organized a party to reward everyone who had worked hard along with us, including all of our partners and PRINA salon network members ♡♡♡

The theme for the night was " Something Pink"~ I reckoned it was be the prefect theme sinow we are Pinkroom!! LOL~ so all the other themes suggested such as retro night and PJ party was cold storaged.

And yes, everyone kept to the theme. Haha!! I was actually worried they won't cus not many people actually WEAR pink. So every time I see the students in school, I'll nag them to keep to the theme. Look~ the results was spectacular!! I love you all!!!

Glad that our team managed to get food sponsors for the night too~ as it won't feel right to spend on food & celebrations. The money would have gone a longer way to helping the street kids.

We had cupcakes, traditional kueh from D'cake and pizzas from Pezzo Pizza!! Much loves~ and thankful to the sponsors for bringing the food down to PinkRoom. It was a pity they couldn't join us in the celebrations.

We had a nice catch up networking session. Something that we didn't had amy chance to do in the past. Our grads and students have feedback that they enjoyed such sessions, so looks like there will be more to come. I guess it's only during such times that we all put time aside from our busy work schedule and appointments to make time for our friends. 

I also shared with our PRINAgals the latest nail trend that is popular in Japan right now! It is always about motivating and inspiring our girls with new and creative ideas so they stay up to date the latest nail trends. 

Certificates of appreciation were also prepared and given out to students to show our gratitude and as a souvenir for memory. 

I was glad that all of them had fun that night and I guess the pictures tell it all. They really did had a moment with the selfies and party props. It also reminded me that it is as important to bond with my students and enjoy our time together apart from the lessons in class. 

Looking forward to more events to come, and wishing everyone a good and fruitful weekend ahead~

#TGIF

I love Fridays! It marks the beginning of my self-proclaimed, much needed, break! ;)

My past few days have been filled and occupied hour-to-hour (*cries a river*). But it is not without fun with my colleagues and my never-ending passion for nail art. Once again, I've seen so many of my students coming in and out for self-study and classes to further improve on their skills, i'm really touched by their determination. 

So hence, it is Friday (and the time to look back and reflect) and I do feel like the Will Smith in this picture:

Sharing a little of what Japan's Nail Up! has feature about Singapore and our local beauty industry:

Many girls (and foreigners, mainly Japanese ladies) have approached us for the Nail Up! magazine as it is really hard to get their hands on it. But from now on, it'll be readily available at Shoppink Room (International Plaza #06-18) and if you subscribe to Nail Up! right now, you'll get a free issue (Vol.57). 

Cheap deal, good deal ;)

Well, I guess the most memorable event that happened was the exclusive customized nail art class we've hosted for the ladies from Bobbi's Pole Studio! They are a group of bubbly and fun ladies who finished their session with a changed perception about nail art! 

-Hehes-

Isabella (right) thought that nail painting was easy and she was so cute throughout the class, talking about giving up on her nails. I guess learning nail art really takes a lot of practice and can be hard for individuals with no prior experience. 

Not forgetting my invitation to Singapore's annual biggest fashion event which I attended last Saturday, Fashion Step Out 2014 (FOS2014)! Because I had my Gelly Tole Class that afternoon, I brought along a dress to change out and I'm so glad I decided to wear my mandarin red dress!

I met many fashionistas and designers during that night! Their models were strutting it and the fashion pieces are breathtaking! Due to this event, the street along Orchard is actually cordoned off and the traffic have to be re-directed, it was really an eye-opener watching the models walking up and down a usually busy road.

Fun aside, I'm still conducting nail art classes regularly and here's a peek of my Hi-5 Knit Seminar! The turnout was great and I'm glad to share my skill with them:

God has been good to me and it has been another pleasant week. I'm off for my break and i'll look forward to the next week, xo.

Pizza time~ YUMMY!!

I brought Eriko-san for Pizza at a little cozy restaurant near our school at International Plaza. It's one of our favourite hangout.... especially with overseas guests. I bought the team from Nail TAT for this pizza too and they loved it! It was good since Japanese do not favour spicy food.

We ordered the usual ham pizza and tried the salmon one for the first time.

One of those things I like to do in the afternoons (that I never get to do)... chillax at a cafe or resturant, sip on ice cold beer, casually munching on pizza... catching up with an old friend. Chatting about random topics under the sun.

Chilling on my favourite drink before boarding~

Strawberry hearts

Yummy goodies from Osaka~ Don't you noticed how packaging can make a difference to everything~ a simple strawberry wrapper made so many girls happy! *^▁^*

PRINA mini graduation party

 The gals brought over cakes for a mini party at PinkRoom last week~ The feeling is one of heartwarming and a bit of reluctance, because we have bonded and grown close to each other over the months. 

But more important than that, I am so proud of them that they have reached a new milestone! Seeing them progress to their current achievement reaffirms that starting a nail school is the right decision :)

 

 

Group photo with the gals, Master Educator Joe & Senior Educator Nicole. 
Does the two frosted log cakes look tempting to you?

BFF! Every time I see these photos, I can't help but smile. It captures more than just the smiles on their face, but also the friendship our gals have with one another. 

  

 Jiayou girls! All the best!
