Ribbon ball

Really like the ribbon which I meticulously pasted it to form de ribbons. Felt this set looks too cute, wanna do sth like that for myself too!

Aztec x Pastel

I have never thought that pastel will look good on Aztec designs. But this set just prove me wrong. Im not a fan of aztec designs, but I really like the stars I have added in this set and not to mention the not soo visible gradiant on the ring finger.

Nail Venus

Got this set off the magazine and changed the colours to make this set all soo girly!

Floral Lace

Firstly, HAPPY LABOUR DAY! A PH just for all working adults. the much needed rest from all the works you all have put in. Have an enjoyable day with the love ones. (:
 
Think  I did this set before but still decided to post it up as I rmb doing it in a different colour.

Secret Florals

Did this set yet again. I really cant stop doing floral set ehh. And honestly speaking, floral looks good on every single lady! Can get sick of doing florals cos its just soo dainty.

Perfect Combi.

What could be more perfect than having lace & florals done together?! Girls will never say no to floral or lace or anything pretty & sweet! This is just us being girls (:

Stitch & Scrump

Was given the challenge to do this set taken from CynfulNails, Am really in love with the stitch! It looks soooo adorable that I really wish to have it on my nails too! But I cant draw that well on my own nails T.T So, I guess ladies that like stitch can get this done (:

Scallop trims with Ribbon & Heart

Another bridal set for the mth. Customer wanted hearts and ribbon thus I did this (:

Va va voom

Angel came to me for her bridal set, I was pretty excited for her and have already thought of doing the handfolded ribbon for her! added colourful balls at the side of the ribbon to give it an extra sweet feel. She is a fan of crystals and anything bling! So, I added blings on her other fingers and added the Jelly hearts on her thumbs (1 of the latest trend).

AngelPro Ambassador

Hello ladies!

If you have notice, I have already been accepted as AngelPro Ambassador and I have been using their gelly system ever since I started up this business. Let me explain why I love this brand!

1. Angel Pro Gelly Polish is 100% Gel; unlike all gelish polish which is commonly a hybrid mixture of gel & traditional nail polishes.
2. No foul smell from toxic chemicals commonly found in traditional nail polishes.
3. Angel Pro Gelly Base does not require primer & other harmful bonding chemicals.
4. Angel Pro Gelly Polish last a minimum of three weeks & more on your nails.
5. Angel Pro Gelly Polish does not contain harming chemicals found in traditional Nail polishes like Formaldehyde, Toluene or DBP.
6. Angel Pro is probably the only brand with a full range of rich milky pastel colors with no color change, no shrinkage & no crimple effects after curing under the UV/LED lamp.
7. Fast removal as the Angel Pro Gelly Shine does not require filling before soak off.
8. Smooth texture that ensures a smooth shiny finish.
9. Consistency of Angel Pro Gelly Polish can be used for detailed Gelly-art.
10. No curing/hardening of gel in the bottles.
11. Use an Angel Pro Cloud Buffer 180/280 to buff the surface of the nail instead of using a file which is too harsh for the nail.
12. Angel Pro Gelly Polish cures under both the UV & LED lamp. The gel cures best under a UV lamp (36 watt).


Theres only pros for using angelprogelly and Im simply a fan of it. If you do notice my nailarts are usually done with angelprogelly. (I do tag the "angelprogelly") And its sooo thick drawing with gel can make the art last sooo much longer and its proven fact that  the nails can last up to 5 weeks or even more!

I have a total of 35 bottles of Angelprogelly till date and I would expand the collection in time to come, so, request to get your nails done in Angelprogelly TODAY!

Discoball inlays

Most of my customers doesnt really like doing stickers or inlay or 3d. So, I was really happy when YingJie chose this set. She wanted colourful inlays but as de colours didnt really show out I added heart shaped inlays too. So, it looked pretty clean and neat. (: She is a fan of 3d too thus I added 3d ribbons on her alt fingers.

Colourful Floral

Alyssa went to japan and got some nail stickers back to sg just cos she thought it looked pretty. So, she came to me with the stickers and ask me to do a set with the stickers she had. I chose the floral stickers cos I really like the colourful combi. We actually mixed 2 different sticker for this set. Im a girl that looooves anything pretty & sweet.

Play Nails

Cant help it but when I see the heart tips with eyes it just reminds me of  the brand "Play" and I do feel it looks kindda scary cos suddenly your nails have "eyes" hahaahha! but I think its pretty cute to have it in a heart tip.Only wished I could add a mouth to not make it look that scary.

Everything a girl can ask for

A bride always wants an almost perfect wedding, thus when it comes to nails most of them couldnt decide on what they want/need. And so, I did this set with ribbons, hearts & crystals. Everything a girl can ask for and in the perfect colour tone of pink which goes well with anything.

Bold Colours

Have been doing lotsa pastel colours for the past few mths and finally Cecilia came to me and asked me for sth very daring. Silver with Blue halfmoon. Am really amazed by the colour combi as I would have never thought of such colour combi. I would usually go for sth more "safe" pink, baby blue, purple or red. Yes, pretty boring thus I do really like this combi which makes me want to do a set in red & silver! Mayb I shd get it done when IronMan 2 comes out. hehe

Bridal Set

March is a good mth to get married I believe? There were quite a few brides that came to me for that mth. Thank you for trusting your nails to me (: 
 
This is done on 1 of the bride that had her photoshoot done in Taiwan! (I wanted to get my wedding shoot done there too but couldnt as I had to rush thru my plannings :/) She wanted sth simple yet eye catching, So we did the ever famous florals and added white and rainbow blings !! Such a demure set. Perfect for brides that doesnt want to have too fancy nails.

Challenge accepted

Again, customer came with NailArtExpress work and chanllenged me to get it done unto her nails. I almost fainted when I saw the design. its soooooo detailed and every single stroke is sooooo light. But still I took up the challenge an did it unto her nails! I know its not as good as Ying but I really tried my best!
 

Floral with stripes

My customers always love the pastel hues I have! And Im glad to have found AngelProGelly! The gel is sooo good that I can drw using the gel colours and the colours are sooo pretty! Im sure you will receive alot of praises by choosing this range of colours. (:

Go Red for CNY

Red french x crystals x charms. Every girls favourite.

Mix match nails

I guess this is my 1st mix match set, whereby having everything Kelly likes unto her nails.

Crystals with hand drawn ribbon.

Customer showed me this set from Nail Obsession and I did it unto her nails. had a hard time drawing the ribbon as I wasnt very good in drawing ribbons back den.


Colourful Leopard Prints

Got this design from the web. and instead of doing a full leopard print, Teresa decided on doing a half leopard print instead. Love the rainbow french.

Floral heart

This design was taken by Cynthia and we changed the colour of it. Alyssa wanted a design in yellow and thought this set was not bad.

A lil more hearts

Im sorry for all these overdued photos but CNY nails are almost over! And I have quite a few more other nail designs I did to post. (: As it was the vday season I did received a few customers requesting for hearts design. Customer decided to have mini hearts drawn on 3 fingers/hand.

Shine bright like a diamond

Stuck 1 of the biggest jem I have in my crystal collection, was realy in love with it as most of my customers would prefer to have sth drawn on instead. But Im thankful that more and more ladies are willing to try putting crystals on their nails. I have managed to find a way to secure the crystals unto the nails but I do need to let you know that it might comes off due to wear and tear. I have customers that could have it intact for 5 weeks! So, I do hope that clients will be understanding and not put all the blame on me. (:

Nailartexpress Design

Customers usually would sent me pictures of what they want before coming and this time round customer took the design from NailArtExpress. For a moment I was sooo afraid I couldnt do it as Ying designs are really detailed, but I managed to pull it off. Of cos it isnt 100% alike but I guess that I have already did my best and manged to "copy" this design. (:

Everything pretty

And so, if you decided on a certain design, but yet dunno which to do, why not try all the design into your hand? HAHA! Clarissa wanted scallop french and yet she wanted floral too, an despite all this she wanted a heart as it was during the CNY-Vday period. We end up having this set done. Loving this set ALOT!

Simple set

Customer wanted a different set of nails and chose to do alt fingers in different colour and pattern.

Bits and Pieces about me part2

To continue my story.. to my giving birth experience.

On 20th may 2011, I woke up at 6.30am to actually have a last good bathe before heading down to Thomson Medical to receive my lil prince. He was an overdue baby, he was 40weeks & 4 days old.

Left the house at 7am as we had to reach the hospital by 7.30am to do the administration and other paper work. I was scared, wondering if I am brave enough to go through this. I have always been afraid of pain, be it when I was younger or now. I would always cry when I feel helpless.

Warded into the observation room, the nurse came in and actually inserted some liquid stuff into the buttock and told me its best if I can wait for 5 mins before going to the toilet to shit. I was still thinking 5 mins only, shouldnt be a problem. But within 3mins, I couldnt take it and ran to the toilet as fast as I could, the feeling was the same as having a diarrhea. And completed my business and headed back to bed and wait for my doc to arrive.

She came in only at 8.30am and told me that I was only 1cm dilated. I was like OMG! how long more am I suppose to wait?! (Just for non mothers, you have to be 10cm dilated before being able to give birth.) So Dr Tan inserted a pill into my vagina, just so that it could speed up my dilating process, and I was left to rest.

Shortly after the doc left, I started having contractions and I told myself to sleep and not be bothered of the surrounding just so to not feel the pain. I guess it was 10 or 11am before the nurse brought me into the delivery room. The pain was starting to be unbearable, the feeling was like having mensual cramp x1000000.

At 2pm, Dr Tan came back into the room and check my cervix and broke my waterbag, and as my cervix only opened another 1cm after 6hrs of waiting I decided to take epidural. The pain is beyond words, imagine a thick needle being inject into your spine and not feeling pain but relieved! Thats how much pain I was experiencing to not feel that needle pain.

I took my nap and slept for the next 4hrs+, Dr Tan came in at 6.30pm and mentioned that we can prepare for delivery, guess after the jab I was pretty relaxed and slept throughout thus the cervix manage to open faster? As I was still on epidural, I couldnt feel a single thing from waist down, for a moment it sucks to be half paralysed. Waited for the husband to be back before we started pushing, as he went out to take a call.

Within 10mins of pushing and with the help of Vacuum, Kayler was out!!! It wasnt easy, especially how I cant feel my tummy and I dont even know if I am pushing the right thing. The moment the lil man came out he cried for a good 15mins! Dr Tan was saying how angry he was cause we were disturbing him. HAHA.

The man went out with the nurse to check out Kayler's weight & height while Dr Tan stitch me up, I still cant feel anything cause the numbness was still there. After awhile they sent me back to the room to rest, as the single bedded was fully booked (Yes, Tell me about it! I will book my single bed for my next pregnancy) I had to make do with 2 bedded room, felt really irritated that evening as I couldnt feel my leg at all and my butt was feeling rather tired but yet I cant move it :/

My inlaws, mum, bro, sis in law, Junying & Sean came to visit me & the newly arrive prince. But they had to wait till 10pm before having the baby pushed in as the nurses needed to clean the baby up before being able to push them into the mother's room. And so, cos I didnt get to have a single bedded room, the man needa secretly stay back and accompany me. He slept on the hard chair that was provided for visitors while I slept on the bed that night. Even so, we didnt get to sleep that night, the women beside me was SNORING so damn loud. It was sooo bad that both me & the hus got woken up a few times and wanted to inform the nurse for a switch in room, but cos the hus was secretly staying back I decided to just keep quiet and wait for the next day.

The next day, I managed to get a single bedded room thus I change into it. Friends & relatives came to visit me and see the lil one. All were looking at him and no 1 dared to carry him, i guess cos he was pretty small & fragile.

That sums up my giving birth process, and embark into my next stage of life. Motherhood. I cant actually say much but somehow, after being a mum I understand why our parents are always nagging and screaming at us. And yes, I have changed alot. I believe alot of my closed friends can be witness of this, I was a pretty playful girl in the past but now Im only thinking of my future and how to give Kayler a better environment for everything.

To those that actually read my post, thank you! but to those that actually only wanna see pictures, stay tuned to tml post den. hehe^^

Love,
Trina

Hearts with blings

I know how much customers really likes blings thus now that you can have crystals on the nails without worrying it may drop off within few days I have more customers requesting for crystals! And so, this client with short nailbed wanted some gems on it for that extra bling!

Kitty x Kimono Girl

Got a picture of the kitty from a nailist, cant rmb her name for now. Kimono girl was taken off from google images. (: Simply adore the lil girl.

Jelly Hearts by Cynthia

Tried Cynthia's jelly hearts and am really in love with in. Just nice for Vday! By the way, I have finally found a new way to actually secure the crystals from coming off! So customers can have put their mind at ease and have crystals on their fingers already! (:

Polka dots x floral

Things will never go wrong with pastels/florals/polkadots. And cos this client love this set with everything on. we decided on floral on ring & thumb and bal 3 nails in polkadots.

Rainbow!!

I always looove rainbows, it just makes a smile on my face whenever I sees them. Having different colours on the nails would actually brighten your mood for quite awhile tooo.

Lilac gradation with ribbons

If I am not wrong this set is actually taken from a nail magazine. I cant rmb which nail mag thou.

Black Gradation

Yesterday was nude, today's black. The are actually friends that came together and I was sooo surprised that this lady wanted black for CNY but she really like it so I gave her a black gradation. with my black charm too.

Nude Gradation

1 of the pretty yet simple set. Customer wanted nude cos her dress was in nude and she wanted to match her dress and her much love for blings thus she asked me to add glitter, charms & crystals on her nails for the extra blingz.
 

Bits & pieces about me

A surprise post for the readers. Decided to get off topic and talk something abit more personal about me and of cause I know there are quite a few of young readers here and would really love to hear this story. Its gonna be quite a wordy post, I do hope this post helps a little for mum to be or preparing you to be a mum.

Lets start off with me being pregnant.

As most readers/customers have known, Im a young mummy. Am only turning 23 in sept 2013. And of cause I aint gonna hide the fact that I was pregnant before getting married.

Everyone asked me how I actually handled it when I found out. All I can say was, I was lost, blinded by love & happy.

Just so to let you all know more about my r/s with my hubby, we were really happy during his NS period and yes it isnt hard for us as he was a commando and he only gets to book out on sats and have to book in on sun which was only a day of meeting (where got enough?) And there are times where by he needa have guard duty and not being able to book out. Than, there are times whereby he needa travel overseas for his 1 mth training.

I thought things would have gotten better after NS but no. University was the most challenging part of our R/S. As most of my customers would have know, I quit sch at the age of 16 just so to follow my heart and work as a manicurist at Far East Plaza. (Not really a good example) So, I was pretty unsure of my r/s as why would a grad wants some1 this dumb :/

And yes, true enough we broke up once he got into uni, reason being he wanted his freedom and have time to concentrate on his studies but of cos I found out he was actually going out with girls -.-

I actually tried ways to forget him but no, I still couldnt. We got back together after seperating for a mth plus to only realise I was pregnant. I didnt know what to do at first, Happy cos I ever went to a doc and he told me I only had 20% to being pregnant and fact was I thought I could marry the guy I loved (blinded by love -.-) Lost, cos I was only 20 still pretty immature in thinking and didnt know if I could be a good example for my baby.

After lotsa discussions with family members & friends. We decided to not kill the innocent life and gives my son a perfect family. We got married on the 28thNov2010.

Throughout my pregnancy times I felt I was going to die, I still had to go to work.(working in an office at that moment of time) My morning sickness came only when I was 2 mths preggy and it was really bad. I vomitted every single morning. Even if I had water I will puke the water out. Every morning, my office toilet is my best friend. Would run to the toilet just to puke whatever I have eaten. And if I dont eat, I puke my gastric fluid out. :/ Thats how bad I had to handle everyday.

Things when on till I was 4 months preggy. Things got better cause the vomitting stopped, but thats when my brain when crazy. Randomly scolding people (My husband), its like PMS but far worst. You cant seem to control what is happening, you get reminded of sad stuff than you will start crying. It was like a roller coaster ride during pregnancy and Im glad its finally over.

It finally came to a time whereby everything in the world was agaiinst you and your confidence seems to be the lowest during that period guess thats the reason why Husbands plays a good role of keeping the wife happy nd giving her whatever she wants during that period (or best throughout their relationship).

I didnt had much cravings, felt hungry more often. My 1st 2 months I was basically in need of fastfood, anything with fries or burgers will curb my craving. Den came 5th mth onwards, my love for ice cream grew I had to have a tub of ice cream everynight before I sleep and once in awhile in need of meaty food (bak kut teh, kway chap, steak etc.). I used to like having kois before preggy but I actually hated bubbletea during preg somehow I cant even finish a small cup of it.

Went for monthly checkups till the day I was due on 16thMay2011 but my lil boy still didnt want to come out thus doc gave him extra 4 days before inducing him. Shall talk about my giving birth process the next time round.

Soooo sorry to those that are here for pictures but I kindda felt I should pen this down so as to let more people understand about going through pregnancy & labour.

Love,
Trina

White French

Filionia gave me Cynfulnails design and wanted me to have it on her nails. I have to say it isnt easy to do cynthia's design and I really try my best to imitate to the best. But given of my experience and cynthia's theres surely a lil different in the outlook.
But anyway, felt this set is suitable for bridal nails too. Clean, sweet and yet elegent.

Blue Gradation

Cust was getting married and cos she has always like blue, she wanted a blue set of nails for wedding. added flakes into her gradation just so to beautify her nails a lil bit more. Added 3D  on her ring finger so that when shes putting on her wedding ring that would be de main highlight. hehe^^

Short nailbeds

Customer came with super small and short nailbed, I realise alot of my customers have very short and small nailbed. And becos of that they feel that they can only do very simple things, such as french gradation etc. But no, This set I did for this customer is super pretty and she has very small nailbed. I know the pictures feel as thou they are long but trust me her nails are super short its the art of the nail that makes it look longer.
 
And becos of the super short nails, I managed to bring in super small charms( ONLY FOR SHORT NAILS) as it would look too small on long nails.

Red CNY Set

Sorry for the super long hiatus, CNY period have been a hell week for me. Yes, I love doing nails but NO I do not like having to deal with all the weird customers (I actually wanted to swear.) But despite meeting all the weird customers Im still pretty much happy about all the nails/customers I have done/met during this period. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME!!
 
I have quite a no. of pictures in my camera but not all are taken as I was quite busy that I actually forgot :/ Anyway, you can check out my instagram theres more pictures there and ALL of my cny pics are already uploaded. hehe^^
 
Im trying my best to edit the pictures as soon as possible just so, I can post it all up on my blog and FB page. Please do give me some time (Im still in the holiday mood) Trying my best to get back to business and trying to crack my brain for more promotions.
 
This lady was de 1st to start doing red as CNY was approaching she decided to have everything she likes on her fingers. thus the polkadots x blings x Handmade ribbon.
