Maniqure, Lintas Plaza: Dark Navy Marble Gel Nail

It was such a long hiatus. 

Hello readers, it’s been awhile. For the past weeks, I was getting really excited about my upcoming convocation ceremony. 

I wanted to look good on that day because it is going to be one of the biggest highlight of my life. I was considering to re-dye my hair, dolling up my nails and get a new pair of heels. Thankfully, my telepathy message was sent and Maniqure received it! 

I was invited to visit Maniqure saloon to get my nail done last Friday.

La Vie, City Mall: Valentine's Inspired Gel Nail

I was having dilemma on getting a CNY themed or Valentine's themed nail. I didn't like the colour red on my nail cause it makes my hand looks dull so I chose something soft and pastel this CNY. I was searching thru pinterest, weheartit and instagram for nail art ideas. I came across an instagram account, @catsnail, a korean nail arts account.

I love their design, very unique and very ulzzang.  After scrolling the pictures for hours, I finally found something that I like. Snapshot it and asked my manicurist to do it for me. This time I chose La Vie in City Mall to do my gel polish on my nails. The manicurist did a great job on my nails and I am totally enjoying myself during the process. 

Their service is way better than 1930's Professional because they really took care of your hands and delicately clean your nails. Unlike 1930's, they are a bit rough. In La Vie, they really treat you like a VIP, and they smile very often that you won't feel stress there. Thumbs up for a great service. 

The cost of this gelish nail art cost RM100. I am totally satisfied with the amount I paid.

First Try, Gel Nail

I got attracted by the Raya Promotion board standing outside 1930's Professional Nail in City Mall, offering RM68 for gel mani or gel pedi and FREE art stickers. (normally RM90)

With no doubt, I did my nail.

The manicurist suggested me to get two gradient (or ombré) because I have short fingers and the area of my nails are small. I chose transparent and gold, so that when my nails grow longer, it won't be obvious. I'm really happy with the service there as they provide professional advise, and you get to watch movie while they are doing their magic on you. no worry on getting bored. 

but one thing I don't like about the whole gelish process is they use UV light to dry out the nails, which is not really good for the skin. not sure if other nail saloon uses UV light too, if yes, I might need to reconsider to do gel nail.
