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.

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.

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 ♥♥♥
