#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.

PinkRoom Jap Mag Feature + Melody Workshop + Nail Mag Subscriptions...

Every weekend, I like to look back and reflect on all that happened during the week. This Saturday, it won't be any different and here goes a long honest post before the weekend...

PINK ROOM FEATURE IN NAIL ネイルUP!

Firstly, my heart was so full with pride when Japan's popular NAIL ネイルUP! Nail Up Magazine featured us in their Vol. 57 (March issue)! Though I had already known of this coverage as their editorial team flew down to Pink Room's 10th Anniversary Pink Party Bash, it was truly exciting when I finally have the hard copy of the issue in my hands, reading and drinking in the words that talk about Pink Room & Japan TAT's collaboration... Most touching for me is that Pink Room is in our 10th year, and they covered our Pink Party Bash too!! ♡♡.

Here's a sneak peak of the English version which our design team translated. They were so excited and did our little own "English Nailup":

For those who are interested to see the original Japanese version Nailup, you can now grab a copy at Shoppink Room, located at International Plaza #06-18 (Tanjong Pagar MRT Exit C).

MELODY PRO NAIL ART CLASS@PinkRoom

This coming 15th, 16th & 23rd April, 12pm - 6pm, I'll be conducting our most popular Melody Pro Nail Art Class!!

I would be teaching many various designs for the kawaii Melody character. With these nail art techniques I taught,  you gals would be able to create many many many types of cute Melody nailart with other accessories too!!

Ooooh...  It's really exciting fun!! In fact, I'm always excited for every seminar, nail class or workshops, because there's so much happy smiling faces, makes learning fun!

( Here's a sneak peek of our students happy faces at our previous Melody nailart class !)

JAPAN'S MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS WITH SHOPPINK ROOM

This is a rather old news but I do want to share it with you guys. I've been in talks with our partners for a very long time before this collaboration is possible; so everyone can now have a copy of all Japan's most popular magazines in Singapore!

You can signup for their yearly subscriptions and have the magazines delivered to your doorsteps. This service is only available at the Shoppink Room.

This month's latest issue of Nail Venus is out!!, Get your copy now~ it is available for sale at Shoppink Room and Kinokuniya stores:

I myself have paid and signed up for the yearly subscriptions, I'm really glad for this delivery service, before I had to travel all the way to the shops before able to get a copy.

Most times they are out of stock, disappointing~ I've always have a love for Japan's cute magazines, so much info! Now I can finally have them at the convenience of my own home  ^^)V

THE ENDING OF MONTH OF MARCH

I barely had time to collect my thoughts and March is already coming to an end... I really do hope to get a break soon. I believe that with amply rest, I can refuel myself and bring Pink room to the next "pink" level. 

Nevertheless, I love creating more new techniques nailart and sharing this passion with everyone from all over and I will never stop doing this.

Happy Saturday girls, xox!

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!

Teddy teddy Nailart~

Hehehe! My super kawaii act cute teddy bear nails~

It's been a long time since I actually did such a kawaii set of nails for myself, since it doesn't really goes well with the "typical principal" look~! I'm actually very fun loving!! >.<

  The whole set of nailart is done on my natural nails using the Angelpro Gelly Polish.

#4 beige colour for the base,

#31 dark brown for the paw and face features,
#32 the lighter brown for the Teddy's face,

 and #23 for the hearts!  

Tip: Replace the colours if you prefer a different effect or if you don't have the colours that I've used! Have fun exploring the different possibilities~ Add a ribbon on the Teddy's head or even a bow tie!!

 

Bling up my toes with Angel Pro~*

My super *bling bling* pedicure to welcome the Snake Year~ 

I finally had a little free time on hand few Sundays ago, and decided to do a pedicure with the new Angel Pro Gelly Polish colours... there were so many colours, I couldn't decide!

Since it's CNY round the corner, I went for bright festive colours~

super Bling Bling no less...

If you can't decide which colour is the prettiest, do all! 

We have 10 nails for a reason!! ^^

Our PinkRoom nailists all over Singapore must be busy fulfilling customers' requests right now! Hang in there girls~ 

The weeks before CNY are the busiest period for all our PinkRoom nailists! I've seen many of them post on Facebook that they are fully booked till the eve of CNY. Some are even providing nail services till the wee hours at their home-based salons... these girls are highly sought after for their professional skills! 

  They have transformed from innocent-eyes-looking girls without any idea about nails to successful nailists & business owners... to be able to earn their own keeps, to support themselves and their families. To create pretty nails and smiles on their customer faces! 

Sashimi for you too?

Was a happy lunch with a new friend today!~ ♥

A healthy Japanese meal with probably no oil, no fats, no MSG!! Haha!!
