Absolutely Nails

Few weeks ago, I headed to Absolutely Nails for a (one-time sponsored) classic mani/pedi session.


Absolutely Nails (previously known as Nailcoholics), is located at Marine Parade Central. Their services include Classic/French Manicure & Pedicure, 2D/3D Nail Art, Acrylic/Gel/Extension, etc.


For those staying in Katong, Marine Parade, Joo Chiat and Siglap area, you might wanna check out Absolutely Nails.


Pardon the lack of photos. As I was there after an event, my hp/camera batteries were officially dead by then. 

Upon reaching Absolutely Nails, I was promptly served by Yaxin, who has been working there for more than 2 years. I like how meticulous she was, be it filing and buffing my nails, cutting my cuticles or scrubbing away the dead skin. She did a good job in painting my nails evenly as well. 


I initially wanted a pastel combo for my mani/pedi, but the color (nail polish) I wanted was dried up. She recommended this taupe color with a glittery tip, which look really good in my opinion.  


Instead of the usual square nails, I opted for oval nails as I was told that they will give the illusion of longer fingers. On a side note, pls ignore the blue stains... the woes of having blue hair (lol).


As for my feet, I chose this Tiffany blue. Absolutely love this color!

Overall, the service was commendable. Location-wise, it will be great for easties like me.

addictive; i'm officially hooked

this is a picture-intensive post (as usual). makeup hauling makes me a unusually happy girl (umm.. lady). my friends can never understand why i can haul on makeup/skincare while i can never understand their love for shoes/ clothes/ bags (i mean expensive branded ones). oh well, everyone has their own spending habits.

first up, my paul & joe haul from robinsons expo sale.

paul & joe light cream foundation SPF 15 PA++

• soft texture & instantly melts onto skin
• contains rich moisturizing properties

• ensures a dewy, sensuous skin
• makes skin feel fresh & comfortable
• leaves you a beautiful appearance

 

paul & joe protective dual powder foundation with SPF25 PA++

• the coated powder lasts long without making your complexion look dull. giving you a light, smooth, soft focus, semi matte finish
• contains superfine SPF powder, enabling outstanding sun protection with a thinner coating on the skin's surface for a luminous finish

 

i love the floral casing, so pretty !

revlon colorstay mineral foundation SPF10

this is a long-wearing, loose powder foundation that is good for the skin. it combines the patented colorstay technology and softflex for lightweight comfort, together with minerals such as rose quartz, mother of pearl and topaz, all of which are beneficial to skin. it applies evenly and blends for a soft, natural looking, seamless appearance and a smooth, flawless finish. it is non-irritating and fragrance and oil-free.

to apply, twist the cap to release the full sized brush. swirl brush into powder and tap off excess. blend powder evenly all over face, buffing in circular motions.

this gapbody lotion smells really heavenly :3 it's glass bottle not the usual plastic one. and so, this sums up my robinsons expo sale haul.

color deco nail colors, aren't these colors gorgeous !? not to mention the prices are to-die-for LOL

i love getting free samples since i can try before buying the full-sized ones. but sometimes it can be really troublesome to ask for samples especially you meet really nasty or black-faced sales ladies.
