Introducing Revlon Runway Collection Nails...

I am so excited to see a small parcel on my table when I got home today.... Immediately, I opened up the parcel and I received 6 packs of Revlon Runway Collection with beautiful and stylish fake nails with ornate tips and natural nail bed resins.

Suddenly recalled that I was being invited by Revlon via email to try their products as they recently introduced its latest Runway Collection. I understand that if applied properly, they can last up to 7 -10 days! Then, I replied them immediately to go ahead send me some sample gift box by post

Attached the Revlon flyer they sent to me...



When I saw the actual collection, the nail designs was absolutely gorgerous! Natural and classy looks..

I read their preparation instructions behind the box. It is very easy to apply...Quite idiot proof lah...

Each nail pack comes with the following:-
1) 24 Nails in 12 sizes
2) A Maxi Bond Gel Glue (3g) (FYI, it comes in a bottle hor. Not those fake nails pack you bought outside that comes in a pathetic small tube. Worst of all, it may not be enough for you to glue the fake nails onto your ten fingers.... I must say Revlon is quite generous.)
3) Manicure Stick
4) A buffer



A closer view of the collections..

2) #91095 Minx

My Indulgences on Acrylic Nails.....

My indulgence on acrylic nails was influenced by my colleague, Sunnie. She did her nails so nicely that made me so tempted to do arcylic nails too. She is such a bad influence....Wahahaha.

I did my first acrylic nails at my favourite Nail Xpert Salon @ Purvis street . I must say they really did a good job in painting nails and they have wide selection of nail arts for you to choose from. If you really want to consider doing acrylic nails for your wedding occasions. They have quite a bridal nail packages for you to choose..

You can refer to my previous review on this nail salon.


I was totally in love with it despite of the expensive cost involved (usually cost S$100 bucks over depending on the nail designs and colour) and time taken in doing the fake nails. The whole process took me 6 hours to finish doing the acrylic nails. Phew...you must have the patience to do it.

There is two types of Acrylic Nails:-

1) Normal Acrylic Nails using Acrylic White Powder to mix with chemical to form a white paste. That what we usually do for those 3D nail art.

2) Acrylic Gel Nails using the liquid gel to apply on the fake nails and the drying process can take quite long as compared using the acrylic powder.

Of course, Acrylic Gel Nails would be more popular by ladies coz it looks more natural

The process of doing the acrylic nails would require the buffering on the surface of your natural nails and trimming your natural nails short before they can glue the fake nails onto your natural nails. And then mixing the acrylic powder with small portion of liquid chemical to form a white paste...They will use the airbrush and start coating the acrylic paste over the fake nails layer by layer...

This is the first acrylic nails with my normal nail arts that I have done...



The second one is the acrylic gel nails with 3D nail arts...And this is one of my fav acrylic nail design... I totally fall in love with it...

My pedicure session @ Nail Xpert for upcoming CNY

My apologise to all my blog reader fanz.... I know it has been a long time that I have not been updating my blog...kekeke *feel so gulity now*

Anyway, today I went to Nail Xpert Salon @ Purvis street for my pedicure session.

It used to be located at Suntec City Tower 2, then they moved to 26A Purvis Street...you can check out their website at http://nailxpert.sg/

It is a instant love @ first sight when I first step in to their nail salon. They occupy two storeys. The plush and cosy interior is so amazing! They have a big plasma TV with big comfy sofa couch. Very ideal for your bf who accompany you for your manicure session...He can sink himself on the sofa with soft cushions to relax & pre-occupy with the DVD movies while you'r enjoying your pampering treat.

Moreover, their friendly staffs don't ever try too hard to upsell their packages to you.

One thing I like about them is that all their tools are INDIVIDUALLY sanitized and sealed in sanitized packs. which means the tools landing on your precious toes are totally germs free and santitized. :)

Their wide selection of nail arts for you to choose from are so beautifully and creatively designed. The designs are definitely comparable to those Japanese "Kawaii" nail arts which can be found in those Japanese beauty nail magazines. I must say the hand painted nails by their staff are super duper skillful.
Best of the best....they have few selections of designed bridal nail packages. Their nail designs are really so glamorous. From lady french, creative nail arts to shining crystals.....Damnz! Make you feel like you a blissful bride...kekekeke

Curently, they have this special CNY nail arts which costs S$5.00 / S$10.00 per nail depending which design you choose. But both are equally exquistely beautiful and I almost spent half an hour trying to choose which one to put on my toes.

Finally.....this is the nail design that I choose and with the artistry & creatively done by my manicurist...See my toe nails are so bling bling with the shining crystals on... Isn't beautiful?


You also get a good tea/drinks menu and are served with any tea of your choice while they doing your nails...

I tried their pedicure Berries Secret spa treatment. It is their current CNY special promotion And I must say - Two Thumbs up!!

You can see the difference after the session. The skin is so much smoother and radiance...

Really feel like a Princess over there! This is one of the best nail spa salon that I have ever went. Better than the Polished Diva Nail Salon @ Bugis where I used to patronized them..

Below the poster on their CNY BluBerry Special Promo (Vaild from 01 Jan - 24 Jan)
