#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.

The Most Loyal Award goes to....

Our Overhead Projector (OHP)

Award for serving us silently & loyally for the past 10 years in our school. 

 Just realised today, during Theory lessons in school, that the OPH is as old as our school!

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!

GUESS WHO? Realistic Face Painting.

I found a bunch of photos of hand-drawn nailart done by our "King of Nail-Gurus" Mr JOE CHUA~ It was done some time ago but we have never shared before...so here goes!! 

GUESS WHO? LOL~

Yes~ it's ME!

This was done by PinkRoom's Master Educator Joe Chua some time ago~ I remembered he just sat there drawing away with a fine brush and an array of paints... silently on his own drawing and drawing (those who knows him, know what I meant~ LOL) And after a while, he just turned around and asked "Nice or not?" 

I took a peek and my first reaction was: "WOW!! itz me!!"

 Followed by my second reaction: "Ewww...itz me!!... on a nail tip!?!" Honestly, it was rather weird to see yourself, as a painting... needs some getting used to~ Hahahahaa~ 

On closer scrutiny of his "nail art", I was amazed by the fine strokes and realism of the person's facial expressions!! It is easy to "just draw a face", but it is damn ultra-difficult(in my humble opinion), to draw someone you know; coz it is not just a face, but a person you actually know, bundled together with his/her character.

It's hard to critic his art coz it's my own face,lol! 

Frankly, I felt that Joe managed to catch a person's personality & characteristics in his paintings.. He also managed to create a 3-Dimensional image onto a 2-Dimensional surface..aka, that of a small nail tip!! All these from his many years of high-technical skills & in-depth knowledge of facial proportions and colors. 

Cheerios to our Master Joe!! \(^.^)/

By the way, Joe ended up drawing not only me, but a couple of us... So keep a lid on your curiosity and I would try to upload all of them asap... ^.^
