Pink Your Nails, Color Their World

Happy weekend everyone! ♡♡♡ 

Hope you girls are doing well. Pardon for the lack of blogging due to my busy schedule. It's been a fulfilling and happening few months, and I would like to share with everyone what I have been up to.

From 10 June 2014 to 16 June 2014, Pink Room was at Suntec City giving gel manicures for a charity event, Pink Your Nails, Color Their World. Through the efforts and kind help of many, the event was a success. On the second day of the event, there were more than 50 manicurists gathered at the atrium and held a manicure marathon. It was such an eventful day for me and indeed satisfying. It was a sight to behold as our iconic pink shirts could be spotted everywhere in the hall! 

I was glad that the responses were good and everything turned out well. Our professional graduates did an excellent job and I am so proud of them. Though we were all exhausted after the charity, it definitely felt great to know that we did participate in a very meaningful event for a good cause. Taking part in such an event with our skills and passion, it felt like killing two birds with one stone, isn't it!

I would like to thank our generous graduates and students who had came down to Suntec City last week to support our cause in providing gel manicures that'll go a long way to help the World Vision. Not forgetting members of the Pink Room Network who came down to help, Top Brand Asia, Nail Shop TAT and 1Q32 Instant Gellish. I have enjoyed myself in the process of this event and appreciate everyone who took part in this. Stay tuned to my blog for more updates coming!

THE WEEK AHEAD:

It has been a while since I last met up with Eriko. When we had time and were together, we would have so much discussion about various nail art, nail techniques and nail tools in each other's country! I do miss her but I guess I'll just make do with the memory of our interview and features for now.

Both of us are featured in Japan's popular Nail Up! Vol.58 issue and in that article (see below), it describes our journey in the nail industry in detail. Coming from a little red dot, I am, of course, very honoured to be working with Eriko and getting featured in a Japanese magazine (not just any mag, but Nail Up!, which is pretty amazing!).

My journey in Singapore's nail industry has been a long and tedious one, making mistakes along the way and learning some valuable lessons from past mistakes. Alas, my hard work has paid off in the most unimaginable way and I'm thankful for all those who had came into my life and contributed to The Pink Room International Nail Academy. 

It was Easter Day last sunday and one of my student gave me this set of Easter Bunny ears and nose. It's super adorable and my staffs and I decided to put it up on our glass doors (HAHA)!!

On a much somber tone, I'm glad my students thought of me on Easter Day and got me such a cute deal. THANK YOU ALL

On a side note, I've been browsing through the web for all the latest nail art. I may be a principal, educator and a judge, but I'll still have to keep myself updated and on trend!

Anyway, I found this particular nail design which features an accent on just the ring finger and I'm in love with it. It is suitable for bridal nails, but if it were for daily wear, it's a soft and muted form of chic and hipster style. 

I'll definitely be pimping my ring nail with this design this weekend! ;)

The week ahead is still long since it's only the mid-week, but I'm looking forward to my overseas trip with my students for their international nail examination! [I hope they've been practicing hard!] From the bottom of my heart, I wish them all the best and let's have fun together on that trip!

Mid-Week Blog (Break Time!)

Had a short break so I'm going to do a proper blog post now. 

This week is the so-called "workshops" week, conducting workshops after workshops and guiding our students to master a themed nail art. On Monday, I had the Gellish Manicure Class, teaching the techniques and precautions of using gel polish and on Tuesday and Wednesday, I was totally immersed in teaching the Melody Pro Nail Art Class~

Hehes, it was an afternoon of 'kawai'. 

Of course, being featured in Japan's Nail Up! latest issue (Vol.58) has the highlight of the week for me too! My good friend from Japan, Ms. Eriko, and I did an interview together and I even brought her around Singapore! It was a rare "day-out" for me where I finally managed to truly enjoy Singapore. I thank God that the weather then was all sunshine and breezy!

Eriko has always been very passionate about nail art just like me and we would always text each other about nail trends in Japan or Singapore, exchanging ideas and tips. It is also why when I wanted an international judge to be present at our Pink Room Cup, Eriko was my first choice!

Read more about our interview below or you can grab a copy of the magazine at Shoppink Room, located at International Plaza #06-18.

Finally, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Open House next Monday! The previous one was really great and I got to meet ladies who are genuinely interested in nail art. There was even a lady from Indonesia, who committed to flying over to Singapore for half a year just to study with us! 

I am extremely touched and I vow that Pink Room do its best to train our students, xoxo. 

Well, it's only mid-week so I'm going to 'gungho' a bit more and push through till Saturday (Pink Room closes only on Sun)! Wishing strength and good luck to all those working hard on a Wednesday too!

LAST WEEK OF MARCH ALREADY??

Omgoodness, it’s the last week of March! I’ve barely finish planning nail art workshops for the month of April…

Well, to update you girls, this coming April, Pink Room will be having a Melody-ProNail Art Class and we will also be having the Knit Hi-5 Seminar again.

Do stay tune to Pink Room’s FB Page for more upcoming workshops: https://www.facebook.com/PinkRoomNails.PRINA

Well, other than fancy nail art workshops, do you girls know about the few basic foods that can give you strong, healthy nails? Scroll down to find out!

It has been another fulfilling week and the recent Knit Hi-5 Seminar has been rather meaningful for me. It really warms my heart to see that there are girls willing to pick up such an intricate technique!

I still remember when I first learnt it myself, it was not easy! As I had classes and events to attend in the morning, I had to stay up during the night to constantly practice this Japanese knitted design. Although it’s difficult and back-breaking, I was so infatuated with this nail design! It is so cute~

When I finally mastered it, my first thought is to tell all Pink Room’s students about it so they don’t have to start learning from scratch like I did. Save time for them! The Knit Hi-5 seminar that happened last Wednesday was a fruitful one and we had such a long session that it ended around 9 plus at night! Hahas, too much loves and feels for this nail design.

Well, I’m in the midst of prepping for another Knit Hi-5 Seminar this coming Monday, do join me if you’re equally passionate about this nail design! Cheers and peace girls XOXO

Halloween

Met up with Eriko-san at the Nailympics Asia Nail Competition in Korea~ 

*LOL* at my Halloween nails!

Here's a close up of the nail~

I did it using Angel Pro Gelly Polish. It coincidentally matched the Halloween ice-cream at TCC! Sweet or treat??
