Went to stay at Hilton hotel on Friday with my cousins and nanny (actually my ex-colleagues). It's our get together session once in every 1 or 2 months. Always just pure nonsense, jumping around, shouting, yakking, laughing... but happy!!
Anyway I did pedicures for the 2 ladies. Brought all my stuffs for the pedicure and I actually called Housekeeping for a PAIL!! ha ha ha. A tub would be ideal cos they would need to soak their feet but then.... how to carry a tub to take MRT har? Ok, housekeeping called me back and asked why would I need a pail, I answered saying I need it to soak my feet. (they must be thinking that I'm so dumb. ha.)
I took pics of their feet even though it's just classic pedi. No nailart cos I forgot all bout my nail art pens!!
More pics and stories tomorrow!
Nights (:

Konad Stamping nail art
Yestoday received the package with my Konad stamping nail art kit.
I have ordered it from www.wowsocool.com, and i am very satisfied with the service and quality of the product. Service was really amazing, they kept in touch with me all the way - sent me lots of notifications on e mail, and i even get a chance to talk with them on the phone. The package was delivered in only 3 days from California to Colorado. So i advice this company for everyone who would like to order konad stamping nail art. And i swear that this is not a commercial but just a summery of my own my honest experience.
Actually this is the one of only 2 sites i have found on the interent that allow you to build you own kit. Even though the other site seem to sell it cheapper, i have red a bad reviews about them, that they sent just a regular nail polishes, which is useless, instead of the "special ones" And after all this other company is located in Singapore.
So i didn't really order a kit, but i have got all the polishes plates and tools separately, and for my 45$ - i have got 3 image plates ( M53, M60, M36), 3 special nail polishes (white, Dark purple and Gold), Image plates holder, scraper, and 2 sides stamper. Actually getting a 2 side stamper was the mail reason was essential for me, since my own nails are really small, i expected that smaller green side may be more comfortable to use fro me.
Sertanly as soon as i got my package i immediately started to play with it. Even though where is a lot of complains in the internet that it is hard to make this stuff work, i didn't find any difficulties with it. Nice, fast and easy. In the beginning it turned to be a little messy, but i believe with practice i ll get better with not making a mess. Also in my very first try for some reason, i couldn't make the image stick on the stamper. Later i realized that the only reason it wont stick, is because i had to use stamper faster - as fast as it possible, right after scrap a polish from the image plate. Another thing is that you have to scrap it really fast too or not all the polish will be removed. But once picture is on the scraper, you don't have to harry any more, even after five minutes it sticks on nails just fine.
i also have tried to use it with the acrylic paint instead of the special polish, it worked, but not as good as with special polishes, so i don't really think that acrilic paint can be an option. In fact the thin layer of the polish that last on the image plate, turns into a thin plastic film, and sticks on the stamper. This is pretty much like making your own nail stickers, except that it is much thinner.
As about polishes my only disappointing is gold one. I actually mentioned before - watching numberouse examples of designs, that most of them use white, black, dark purple ( which in fact look more interesting when just black) red and blue. And in fact i think that all those pink, blue ad reds, does not provide and impressive effect. The best look is with withe and dark purple. But i still decided to try the gold one. Well, it is absolutely useless on the light polishes, and you actually can see it only on black. It even does not seem to be visible even on the dark red and and blue base polish :(
Actually interesting detail is that you can mix the polishes and make a new colors.
Here are the pictures of my very first try of this product, and in fact i d like it a lot, and i do not think that it is bad first try.

Nail Polishes IN!
Super happy! I received my batch of polishes this afternoon. Opened up the parcel and checked. Everything intact! No damages, nothing. It makes me super happy.. just to see the colours.
My range of colours for now.. There will be more coming in on 1oth August and that will complete my collection of more than 70 bottles. :)
OPI colours part 1. Everyone's favourite. I'm too lazy to type out the names. I think my camera captured the colours pretty well.
OPI colours part 2. pink, shimmer, gold, champagne, silver... all the happy and wedding colours.
Here are the pictures:

OPI colours part 3. I love RED! Different shades.
OPI colours part 4. I wanted to buy both of these colours when I was browsing. I found this set, it also comes with a free pink pouch. Strawberry Margarita looks very edible. Ha ha.
OPI colours part 5. Sheer colours. Makes nails healthy looking.
ORLY colours part 1. Most people would actually know OPI more than ORLY, right? But in my opinion or rather if you've used their polishes before, they're as good as OPI. Some colours here are from their wedding series.
ORLY colours part 2.
Ok, these are all the colours for now. Call CYNTHIA at 98270271 for an appointment now! :)

:(
ok.. I ordered 2 batches of polishes, bout 30-40bottles per batch. The first batch was sent to a US address as my cousin is there. He's coming back 10th Aug. He told me last night that one bottle broke and it's in a shade of green. I suspect it's the OPI Green-wich something. :( Really upsetting cos I love that colour sooooooo much!
Can't blame him as his luggage is already overweight... gotta xie xie him for bringing it all the way back from US. I'm gonna pray hard that the others will arrive safe and sound.
The 2nd batch I ordered should arriving very soon. Delivery was stated between 6-10days and it's almost 10days already.
*Prays really hard that everything will arrive in perfect condition!
Lesson tomorrow again!
415am. yawns. I should cultivate the habit of sleeping earlier.
