More gel nails...

I've been doing lots and lots of gel nails lately. It's the trend now I guess? 


Pink tips and crystals and ready made roses. This shade of pink gel color is my most popular pink! 


This is not overly sweet. I like!
Gel overlay on her natural nails. A proper overlay must not be too thin or too thick, and of cos the structure and surface of the gel nail must not be bumpy. It took me some time to understand the importance of this, and also how to create a smooth surface gel nail cos gel is not easy to control. This is also a reason why I feel that going to a nail school is important. Check out my school, Pink Room, if you're keen to learn.


Summer colors. Crushed shells inlay.


Blue, green and yellow crushed shells. Refreshing!

Hand made ribbons


Hand made ribbons in baby pink glitter. I love it.

Spring is here!


Fresh and clean! And this is what a Japanese girl would wear, everyday.


Floral designs are so IN now! I see them everywhere in Jap nail mags. Absolute ♥! :D

Mad about polka dots

Are you mad about polka dots too? *grins*


Gold, pearls, soft pink roses and polka dots. So sweet!


Dark red tips and roses.


Tiny pink disco balls along the french line, cute tiny bows. Another version of the Minnie Mouse nails. :D

Lots of bridal nails!

Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been doing sets and sets of bridal nails and loving them. The nail session never gets bored with brides to be. Booking of banquets, ROM, gowns, table seating arrangement, guest list......etc. I think I'll be a pro when it comes to my own wedding. Haha!

For now, I've picked 2 sets of them which I really love. French nails with a twist. Something different from the usual french, but at the same time, still retaining the original look, pink and white.


Modified this design from Nail Up! Hand painted simple pink flowers and it turns out surprising well on the french nails. Has a really sweet feel! Pink and white french details are all done with colored gel.


Oh and I forgot to mention that this is gel overlay on natural nails. She has long nail bed and it's perfect for either overlay or extension. :)


A set of soft gel sculptured extension. And this lady has got super nice nails as well! Nails are only extended a teeny wee bit cos her nail bed is crazy long! Perfect for french nails.


The french twist and 4 petal soft pink flowers.


I love this cos it's a mix of the classic french and twisted french.

Pink acrylic nails.

First I must apologise to this lovely lady cos I took forever to send her her nail pics! Sorry girl! There you go!

She did her first set of acrylic nails with me during Jan and have since infilled twice. I didn't take pics of her first set of nails cos it was pretty simple. Pink glitter with crystals. Her first infill, she decided that she wanted bows and this is what I designed for her.


Her pink glitter remains. Added crystals along the french line cos her nails have grown and a few pink bows upon her request. :)


A design suitable for first timers and those who love pink and bows.

Her second infill. She came back 1 month later, nails grown. So... it's near impossible to keep her pink glitter cos nails are filed down n trimmed to a shorter length.


A design she chose from my archives. Painted pink and white stripes, silver lines to enhance the design. To complete the look, I finished it off with some roses and crystals.


Lovely eh? And totally can't tell that it's been infilled. Twice.

Acrylic nails. French tips with pink disco balls inlay! We have the super cute polka dots without having to paint. Hehehe. :D


Orangey and pinkey roses too!
