Endurance Beauty II
2 days later, I went to Beauty Expo. Lending my friend a helping hand by becoming her model for professional nail art competition – white tips overlay or better known as French manicure (FM).
Have done mani & pedi before, but yet to try FM, especially this one with nail extension. Yup fakey nails. Trying it for fun since I like trying new stuffs. Well, the outcome is nice.
How I wish to keep it longer? It’s not cheap if to get it done outside, probably around RM150-200. But I wonder how one able to have such nails for long term? Unless, she’s from the rich profile and doesn’t need to work, otherwise having such nails is totally nuisance.
Firstly, you need to be careful in handling. If you accidentally break the extension, it will break your natural nail too. That sound so oouchhh… thus, I give myself a restful weekend went shopping with my mum instead of doing house chores. Mum is so scared that I might hurt my nails.
When you have such nails, it is so difficult to type the mobile keys. Taking long time to type one sms using my middle finger tips… (at least won’t have much trouble if I were still using the pda phone). Not only on mobile phone as it also affects when working on the computer keyboard. Slower speed and the many-hits-of-delete key for all the typo mistakes.
Besides the length extension, you also gain in the thickness. And when you have nail of 0.2cm thick, you can hardly peel of things. And also, difficulty to get your fingertips into small areas such as the power-button on tv or the door knob. Worst is when trying to get your cons out! Oh mi… I’ve no comment.
Hence, in less than one week I got it removed. Heard it can actually last up to 2 weeks long… but hey, for what? Again, beauty for unnecessary endurance ~ a definitely no-no to me! Take it away from me….. and now taking time for my natural nails to grow back smoothly, hmm.
