Yay! Shiny nails! ♥

Sponsored Advertorial


Yay!!!! Shiny nails by @shiningnails! :D
First of all, I have to apologise. I have to apologise to Shining for heading to her home salon with absolutely no idea what I wanna do to my nails, for the second time HAHA. But that's why she never fail to surprise me with a beautiful set of nails!!! Pretty nails makes us girls all happy, admit it! However, I didn't really snap much pictures of my nails this time (which I totally regret) so just in case, you might wanna see what she did to my nails the previous time which I LOVE. Click HERE to view if you wanna see pretty pastel galaxy nails!

ALSO, I have a promotion at the end of this blog post! ♥

TADAA! Shiny nails, by @shiningnails! ♥

Since I didn't know
what kind of nails I want, I just told Shining that I wanted something shiny or maybe holographic! In general, just BLING HAHA. By the way, both Alicia and I share the same nail sponsor and hers looks great as well!!!! Ok sorry for digressing, so very quickly, Shining did all the basic work on my nails first, which is to keep my nails groomed, yay!

This IS my absolute favourite step of the classic gelish manicure. It feels soooooo comfortable! ♥

Shining uses high quality gelish manicure set so don't worry about the UV lights hurting your skin because it won't! :D 

Being over at Shining's
home salon always makes me so happy. I love the environment, all pastel, girly and crazy comfy! I remembered how when I first got my nails done by her, she even allowed me to plug in my own set of favourite music onto her speakers! PLUS, Shining is more than just a very nice lady. She's also a certified manicurist that does crazy chio nails and is very professional as well! :D ♥

Shining told me that the design on my middle finger are actually called 'Sugar nails' and I absolutely love it! It looks SOOOOO much better in real life, really shiny with a hue of pink and I love it's texture too! 

I wish I had taken more pictures of them all! ): 

Although, you wouldn't be able to tell here but my fourth finger is actually holographic-like and iridescent in real life! Looks super pretty when seen from different angles and amazes me all the time! I was so fascinated when she painted that unique shade! :D 

All in all, I'm definitely satisfied with Shining's work.
Thank you, Shining, for always being so meticulous and accurate when it comes to handling of our nails and designs!!! Can't wait for my next appointment with her already!!!! For more information, you may refer to her Instagram page @shiningnails.

And as promised, there's an ongoing
promotion over @shiningnails! Quote my name, to receive Classic Gelish Manicure at $30 instead of the usual $35! Promotion only valid till end of October'15 only. Faster get your appointment fixed with Shining at, 8339 8640! ♥

Pastel Galaxy Nails

Sponsored Advertorial

Ohhhhhh good day earthlings!!!!!!!
Cannot believe I'm actually basking in happiness at 6am in the morning and I just have to blog about it. Truth to be told, I'm exhausted as hell right now. What to do? I'm revelling in my new set of gelish nails and I'm loving it more every second! Ok, before anything else, just allow me to quickly post a chio happy pic of myself below HAHAHA.


This, is of course a sponsored
post. I'm sure you noticed! Despite that, please do not give less fucks to this post or it'll never do justice to my manicurist, @shiningnails. Firstly, I've to apologise for being a shallow person. Initially I had doubts about my manicurist. Why? Because it's a home-based salon. Many have this misconception that home-based salons are not as good as the nail parlours out there, including me. (Please read on and forgive me.)

Today, I'm telling you that it is NOT TRUE.
It goes without saying that there are certainly home-based salons out there that are not as professional and skilful as those of established nail parlours. But I take my hats off to my nail sponsor because I completely underestimated her as a professional manicurist! I reached her place without knowing what I want and all I told her was that I wanted something pastel, minimal dramatic huge blings and a touch of marble galaxy.

She was really attentive and voila! I got exactly what I asked for! ♥


It was such a pleasant
experience and I honestly can't wait to return to get my nails done by her already! I have to say, she was really precise and meticulous with her nail art and I'm absolutely amazed by how comfortable it was when she started removing my nail cuticles as she was so quick at it! Just in case you're wondering about the environment, it is nicely furnished and a little Liz Lisa themed. I kinda regret not taking pictures of the place and would do so the next time I'm there!! ^^

So you may ask, are the nail designs very limited since it's a home-based salon? 

No. In fact, I told Shining
that it is very risky of her to start a home salon because she've got a wide selection of everything! From nail colours to designs to the 'blings' and even customised 3D nail art! Not to mention, Shining is actually a certified mani/pedi instructor and uses a really good brand of LED lamp for gelish nails which easily cost her $400. (I was kpo so I asked HAHA.) With that being said, you can already imagine how nice it'll be to get our nails done by her. :D 


 I got home crazy happy
that day and started sending pics of my nails to my friends HAHAHA and I'm glad they all love it as much as I do!! Oh and my sister actually complimented my nails on the very same day, I was taken aback because she's someone with high expectations and I never expected her to grab my hands and say, "Eh? You do your nails already ah?! Nice leh!!!" Whoaaaaa I swear that made me even happier than I already was. T_T ♥♥♥

Here's a discount code exclusively for you guys!! Quote my name to receive 10% OFF nail art prices! ♥

I strongly encourage
you guys to check out Shining Nails on Instagram so you can see her work for yourself. Don't miss out the blinking lights and cute hello kitty water globes though! (YES YOU CAN ATTACH BLINKING LIGHTS AND HK WATER GLOBES ON YOUR NAILS OMG)

Just in case you're wondering,
my set of gelish nails would cost around $75 and you can book an appointment with her at 8339 8640. She's located at Woodlands and although I don't live nearby, I was surprised by how easy it was to get there via public transport without getting lost! Considering the fact that I'm a direction idiot HAHA.

For your convenience sake,
you can click HERE for their Instagram page and HERE for their Facebook page. Their basic price list is as follows:

Classic Gelish Manicure at $35
Express Pedicure $10
Extension $80 onwards

Thank you Shining! I'm so satisfied with your work! T_T
Whoa ok it feels so good to just blog about everything I wanna say here with happy vibes. :D Have a great great week ahead guys! ♥

Let me just end this blog post with yet another picture of myself with pretty nails ok. And if you're bored, re-read this post. :D

The sweet stuffs !

Sponsored Advertorial

Omg super happy because
I did my nails with Mynte Fingers again last week ! The other time I had my nails done with her , I had really badass nails with all the comical nail arts on all of my fingers which requires a lot of effort and skills . So this time I told her I wanted something different , something sweet looking & related to cupcakes

I really have got no 
idea how to express how much I love my nails right now , but all I can say is I just keep looking at my nails with all the gorgeous intricate designs ♥_♥ REALLY REALLY have to thank Mynt herself for being such a talented manicurist ! 

  





 I did a classic
gelish manicure with Mynt and as usual , she's extremely meticulous with her work , from removing the dead cuticles to working on very small & delicate details of nail art designs she prepared for me . Many manicurists uses a stencil or like a stamp thing to transfer all of the designs onto your nails . However . what I realized about Mynt is that she owns the stencils but still prefers to draw nail arts on her own ! 

She's able to create
all sorts of designs as I've seen the samples she drew professionally at her home salon all by herself ! So if you're thinking of getting cartoon nail art like minions or even floral designs , Mynte Fingers can definitely help you with it :D 

Knowing that I like 
the color pink & ribbons , Mynt offered me ribbon gems that are available in all sorts of colors . I picked out 1 baby pink & 1 translucent pink but I didn't know which one to pick !!! So Mynt gave both to me on my nails HAHAHA . Pictures in detail : 



 This set of nail art
is so colorful and makes me feel so joyful & happy every single time I look at it ! Like what Mynt said , "happy nails for the happy girl" (': I always leave her home salon feeling all happy & satisfied with her awesome work ! Especially the part where she cleanses my nails , my nails instantly smells seriously good . I'm not sure why but her cleanser comes along with a really sweet smell LOL . 

And finally we've come to
your favorite part of this blog post , DISCOUNT CODES ♥_♥ !!!!!!!
Quote my name , 'Chrysan' to receive $5 off gelish manicures when you visit Mynte Fingers to get your nails done :D

They are located at 
Yishun ave 11 , Blk 427 . You may book your appointment with Mynt via email at myntefingers@hotmail.sg OR reach her at 8444 0406 (What's App ONLY) . It's really worth a try at Mynte Fingers as she's professional & uses proper equipments for our nails which requires a lot of care for . Most importantly , getting your nails done with Mynt is soooooooooo much cheaper compared to the market rate out there now !

Ending this blog post with their price list :  


Once again , 
thank you Mynt for giving me a set of pretty nails that I now love

Badass nails

Sponsored Advertorial

OMG GUYS !
I've been dying to share my experience with my new nail sponsor , Mynte Fingers since the first time I went there few days back ! And guess what ? There will be a CRAZY promotion and discount code for you guys in this blog post (; Especially if you wanna have Gelish at $10 !



Mynte Fingers is a friendly
& professional home salon by a really wonderful owner , Mynt . Mynt has 4 years of experience in nail art etc & has sponsored many celebrity bloggers & I'm lucky to get my nails done by her ! 

At first I felt afraid heading to 
a home salon , but after having my first visit , I take my hat off to Mynt ! Getting your nails done is one of the most relaxing activities ever , so to me comfort is number 1 , followed up by professionalism and skills . 

Within less than a
few minutes , I was happily chatting away with Mynt already ! She's a very friendly & talented owner and uses professional gelish kit which costs about $400 , which is a huge comparison to the outside $40 kind lol . The gelish machine she uses is also much more faster than the mainstream kind & saves a lot of time for both you & Mynt !

 And since I can get my nails done
 twice a month with her , I decided that this time , I will go for something more badass
 that I've NEVER tried & here goes :

Mynt had designed each finger according to my liking , from the sexy emoticon to diamonds , dope , the f word & the crosses !

Mynt is REALLY meticulous
with all the details I asked for , not to mention , a very attentive person ! Even till the end , she still fixes my nails a little bit here & there and I asked her why , she said "I make sure the nails are all nicely done before my customers leave , otherwise I'd feel uneasy !" A tad bit of a perfectionist , but that's exactly what we , customers ask for :D 

Besides , I love it when she 
helps me remove my damaged & dry cuticles from my nails , super comfy ♥_♥ ! 





Bronze cross


I know many of you
will be asking , so how much is this how much is that , how do I book an appointment with Mynt etc etc , no worries because I'll be telling everything you need to know here ! 

Price list of Mynte Fingers : 

LIKE UH HELLO MAD CHEAP PLZ ?!
Well , I'm not sure what's each and everyone of you guys' market rate because I believe everyone has their best rates out there . However , I do know that this is by far the cheapest I found , WITH quality work & service ! 

The next thing I'm about to
say will blow your mind . Because Mynte Fingers is actually having a promotion now where Express Gelish manicures are going at ONLY $15 !!!!!!!!! OMG AND GUESS WHAT ? If you quote my name upon payment , you'll get $5 off your total bill ! Which means , Express Gelish with Mynt will only cost you $10 ! 

CRAZY CHEAP RIGHT ? I was still asking Mynt if she's ok hahahahha

So yeap , 
if you wish to book an appointment or any queries , feel free to reach Mynt at 
8444 0406 (WhatsApp ONLY) OR email her at myntefingers@hotmail.sg ! They are located at Yishun ave 11 , Blk 427 . WORTH THE TRIP ♥ ! 

Also do follow
Mynte Fingers on Instagram at @myntelicious or read their blog at myntefingers.blogspot.sg !
 (I personally read it as well , it's quite interesting to be reading it in perspective of a nail salon owner hehe) 

Thank you sooooooooooo much , Mynt for
the pretty nails I now own & being so warm and welcoming towards me , handling my nails with much effort and care . I can't wait for the next visit already ♥ ! 

Still staying around ?

Nails ♥ !

I was so bored that 
one morning that I decided to pamper myself and give my nails a treat ! I am not an expert on nails , I even have problem shaping and painting nails myself ! Especially when I paint my right finger nails with my left hand , it always end up looking like this : 



Don't you feel me ?! Hahahha . 
So that morning I had trouble picking what colors to apply on , and tested out my top favorite colors , and from there , I picked myself neon pink ! I haven't tried neon pink at all and decided to give it a try (: 

Picture taken from my Instagram @ChrysanLee !

After about an hour 
of letting it dry and all of that buffering time , here's how it looks : 

Picture taken from my Instagram @ChrysanLee as well :D !
And in case you're
wondering , yes I painted my finger & toe nails both with a mini bottle of O.P.I !! It's such a tiny bottle it's really cute , but it probably won't last a long time at all . Just imagine if you're painting your nails and then halfway through it runs out of nail polish O_______O ! 

Hahahha anyway , 
more photos in detail (actually below are just photos that are enlarged from the previous one)


From here , you can see how tiny the bottle of O.P.I is !



Did I lie down to take this photo ? Yes . Hahahaha

That's about it ! 
A really random post but thought I would just share this with you guys ! And by the way , here's a confession : I've never tried gelish nails before , would love to try out one day ! Hehe . Anyway , in case you don't know , just THREE days back I decided to use ask.fm for the first time . 

So if you've 
any questions , direct them to my ask.fm at http://ask.fm/chrysanlee ♥ ! They will be answered everyday and also linked to my twitter at @ChrysanLee as well . See ya guys ! Mua ♥
