All about 'Nails' πŸ’…

My November Nail Addiction... 

I was obsessed with nail acrylics months back and the idea of getting mine done with a coffin outline. I've watched videos of how to apply acrylics and the designs you can make out of it. 

My favorite YouTube nail artist are Naio Nails and Suzie, the woman behind Nail Career Education. If you're the type of person who loves edgy and artsy sculpted nail designs, you need to see Naio Nails artwork.  And if you're into posh and sophisticated look, go for Suzie. 

So, I went to one of these posh beauty salon in Sharjah and had my nails done in acrylic. I'm not sure if they had a promotion at that time but mine cost around 150AED. I tried calling other shops too and most of them offers acrylic nails starting 250AED depending on the design you'll choose. 

I chose the cheapest since I only wanted to try it. I can't afford to pay much then have them remove after just because I'm uncomfortable with it - you know what I mean?   

Off I went to Damas Beauty Center.

When I went inside, I was greeted by a Filipina receptionist 😍. There were a lot of customers that time and I was next on the list for acrylic or extension application. I waited for 30 minutes (I think) since they only have 1 nail technician that day (and I'm not sure if she's the only one working for acrylics or whatnot).

So while waiting, I decided to take a few snap of the place... 


 

The inside is very elegant. I was amazed of how they decorated the place; it fits for a Princess.

The salon is spacious and they offer different services to their clients. A beauty haven for someone vain from head to toe.

If I get a chance to visit the place again, I'll make sure to take a few more shots and discuss services and offers from their management so I can share it with you. I'll make a separate blog for it with all necessary details you needed before getting one done for yourself. 


Take note, acrylic extensions normally lasts 2-3 weeks depending on how you maintain them and the type of nails you have, of course. 


Acrylics applied to my nails without the colored polish.
Application would usually take 1 hour or so.
I opt not to cut the length and decided to have it as it is when it was applied on top of my real nails; then the technician had it filed instead to fix the edges.
It look SO REAL!


The cut is what you called a 'Coffin Nails'. 
Mine is on dark mocha color.
If you choose to have a nail art or french gel tips, you have to pay extra.

After a week, I decided to change the color. haha 
Tadahhh... Gold!
I painted it myself. 

Which is something I regret... After a few days, the middle nail accidentally cracked while I'm doing the laundry. I think what I did ruined the top coat or protection applied by the tech.
Since I can't afford to let go of it yet, I decided to use a fake nail instead on my middle finger. 
Still looks good though!

I think I had the nails on for 2 weeks and decided to get rid of it already. I should have opted to cut the nails to medium length rather than have it that long?! I can't do anything... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…

It's something I've learned in the process. The next time I'll have it done, it would be something I am sure I'll wear for a long period of time.

Overall, I love how my nails was done at that time. And if you'll ask me if I'll go back there for another beauty sesh? Sure thing I will ♥

Whenever I visit a place and get fascinated by it; I always think of the past… then asked myself silently... How did people survive before...
