Gelish: Party Like A Rockstar

Happy new year everyone! It's not a good new year for me at all. Am done with a bad flu and cough, been feeling so dizzy the minute I'm out of bed that I had to lie in bed almost the entire day. What a way to start the new year. =(

Nevertheless, I'm feeling slightly better now so I'd better post before it gets worse again. Shirley came over for a Gelish mani yesterday. Felt really apologetic towards her. We had to push our appointment time and time again because both our schedules couldn't meet. She's a really nice customer who tried so hard to fit both our timings together. (: Had a great chat with her during our mani session and found out that she's not the sort of lady who'd go for typical roses and flowers. She wanted something different.

After flipping through my nail mags, this is the design she picked.

Shirley wanted something rock. Here's my take on it. (:

As I felt that I didn't do a great job with the art, I charged her much lesser than how I'd charge when I perfect this set of art (esp the star on the thumb).

Gelish: Black Shadow

Flora requested to do her nails to suit her dress for her niece's upcoming wedding dinner. Her dress was black with white designs. I suggested doing something simple and classy to avoid clashing with the design of her dress. As she is a working mother who is required to do housework daily, I suggested trying out Gelish since it's known to not chip and peel. Flora was really sweet! She said, "I trust you. You do whatever you think is nice."

I had to do 3 coats of Gelish's Black Shadow as I painted each coat very thin to ensure its smooth finish. I sponged on Gelish's Waterfield on the tips before topping it with Swarovski Crystals in ss8. Lastly, I massaged on cuticle oil for her to nourish her cuticles.

I personally like this look. A pity I didn't manage to take a very good picture of it.
