Gelish by Pink Parlour

Long overdue!!! But I'm here still okay?

And I was talking about Gelish nail polish some time ago when I blogged about JNails. I said I'll come to the actual post talking about benefits of Gelish. Remember not?

Pink Parlour was very nice to offer to let me try Gelish nail polish for the very first time. 


I love the interior of this particular outlet at Orchard Central. It's very different from its very first outlet at Far East Plaza - this one's so much more spacious!


 Check out all the nail polish colours they have~
See the white bottles at the bottom? Those are the Gelish Nail Polish!!!

 And will you check out the waiting area???


Pedicure corner...

Seriously...why have I NEVER been to this outlet before???
Now I'm a convert. 

Anyways, I was talkina about Gelish....

So what's so great about Gelish?
Gelish is basically Gel Nail Polish in short. It works the same way as a nail polish in the sense that it gives your nails pretty colours the way normal nail polish would.So how is it better?

  • Lasts for up to 3 weeks without chipping. Mine lasted a good 3 weeks. ;) 

  • May take a little longer to apply because it needs time to cure under a UV lamp, but it takes seconds to dry. Compare that with a manicure session using normal nail polish and having you walk around everywhere looking like you have handicapped hands, or claws...

  • While conventional nail polish may stain your nails over time and cause yellowing, gelish nail polishis basically an odourless formula that will not cause any damage to the nails, even after prolonged use.


I don't know about you, but those 2 points are more than good enough for me. Lasting for a good 3 weeks means I do not have to bother about my nails or make additional trips to the manicurist to keep them looking in tip-top condition. Taking seconds to dry means that after I step out of the nail salon, I could dig my hands (or nails) into my overstuffed handbag and NOT worry about getting my newly-done nails smudged.

So what if the Gelish required 15 minutes to soak off completely? Travel time to the nail salon for each manicure? That's one-hour for a return trip. Each session at the nail salon? 1-3 hours. That's probably 2 hours each week for a normal nail polish manicure. Gelish nails? 1 session of 1 hour plus 1 return trip, and I don't need to repeat that for 3 weeks. Hello? Can you do the Maths???

So enough about the benefits, let's get straight to the my nails!!!



Er...yah...that's me when I'm filming anything. -.- Yah what, most times they just want plain nails, "dowan so nice can or not", so whenever I'm filming anything for TV (especially dramas) I just don't give a shit about my nails at all...

Urgh....

Anyway that is the past...after that I got really hooked on Gelish... Guess what? They have "non-striking colours" so I can still have plain looking nails that look beautiful...



The colours available. Actually Gelish comes in more colours la...I think the manufacturers have come up woth 48 colours, to be exact.

I wanted colour #4 but the girl at Pink Parlour told me #3 would be nicer. Alright then...I shall gamble and trust the professional...

Though I still wanted something nude-looking. I think pastel pink's more of her colour than mine.
I'm kinda bad in that way, not firm enough with trivial things like these. To think I should have learnt to be firm enough with regards to the things I want, anything I want....

=(

Nvm.


This was what she did.

Since it was already so not nude and faintly decorated, I told her I wanted bling. Lol. Might as well right???
Either plain plain, or super 夸张. Don't like neither here nor there. 这是本小姐的个性。

My fingers looked so shiny because of the moisturizer they used - it has some glittery ingredient so you'll feel like you have diamonds applied on you. Lol~

What happened at the end after she was done removing the tacky layer of the gel top coat surprised me.
"It's done."
I touched it. It was COMPLETELY DRY!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! I pressed on it. Nothing happened!!

I'm officially a Gelish convert. Right after this I went and bought myself a nude Gelish Nail Polish, but that's really because I have a UV Lamp and I know how to do this at home myself. Plus, when I do start filming and getting busy, I really won't have much time visiting nail salons. But for you, please, do go and try this product. Always look for this:

So you know you're getting the real deal.

Pretty Nails from JNail!

Omg I can't begin to tell you how much I'm loving my new nail design now!!! It's the kind which, the more you look at it, the more you'll like it kind. Very 耐看.

It's done by this lady called Jess. At this super unassuming place beside Bukit Panjang Plaza, called Jalan Lompang, in a nornal-looking HDB flat. When she brought me into the room, I was impressed by the home-salon's decor...

 Super Korean/Victorian!!! Very sweet!!! And the whole feel is just super cosy~
Love the wallpaper TTM!!! It kinda reminds me of Milly's, the same feel~ Only difference is this is a home~


 And the clock!!!! I recently acquired a similar one for my room, but this one's much much nicer! And it says LONDON!!!! My favourite place second to home!!!!!


 Even her curtain has been specially chosen to match the whole theme. Nice. Aku suka...



Yes, Jess is an award-winning nail technician. She's also a qualified nail tech instructor. Whoooaaaa....don't play play. 来头不小哦~


She's got like the full set of the Gelish Nail Polish okay!!!! Tell u guys more about gelish in another post. Woohoo!!!! LOVES!!! I'm going to use THOSE!


I'm terrible when it comes to choosing nail designs. And knowing that, somehow I always go unprepared even though I ALWAYS tell myself to choose a design from a nail magazine then bring the mag along and ask them to do. I ALWAYS forget. ~.~

Anyway I just told her the colours I like, and I told her I'll let her do whatever she feels like doing. Lol.

 So while she did my nails, she kept me occupied with Jay Chou and Jolin... The room's got a TV and a DVD player, so if you want to bring your Gossip Girl or whatever drama you're in the midst of watching, feel free to. ;)


 Cherries?

No...she worked on them a bit more...

 Mini roses!!!!!!!! It's amazing how the design suddenly came to life after she added the leaves! 
The design's so Cath Kidston! OMG!!! She's good man...
Okay so she painted a total of 84 ROSES on my fingers!!!!

 
 Finished product. She added a ribbon / 2 heart shapes across the french nail designs. 

The colours shown in this picture are almost as close the ones on my nails now. 
This was done using Gelish Nail Polish and Gel Overlay across the entire finished design. It's been 1 week and the nails are still intact with no chipping!

Thank you Jess for the lovely nails!!! 

Want to see what else she's capable of?

 Skirting, leopard prints, ribbons and bling... If you can't decide what style you want. LOL!




She MADE the Hello Kitty okay...if you want this you gotta tell her in advance so that she can pre-sculpt the kitty before you come (saves you waiting time!).






Pssst...she's got a promotion now....


A design like my nails will probably cost you around $48-$68 using Gelish. And the most important thing is...the designs LAST LONGER when you use gel overlay!!! So really, it's considered very affordable!!!

Still hesitating? Just go make your appointment now!!!!!!!

Blk 175, Jalan Lompang (it's JUST beside Bt Panjang Plaza!), #07-53
