I have recently spent almost $800 on nail equipments and accessories for doing acrylic nail extensions and nailarts! I thought I would only spent about $200-300 initially, however, as I shopped more, I realized that I needed more and more equipments and accessories so as to make my practising more realistic. Still, I have yet to buy all the equipments needed!! But I think I can open my own manicure business already! Hahaa!!! Anyone interested to be my hand model for practising?? But to say first, I will not be liable for any accidents or injuries caused. =P
Anyway, I realised that I have been 'cheated'!! Reason being that I thought purchasing the necessary items from a nail institute would be safer and cheaper... but I was totally wrong! Only after making my first purchase from the nail institute (at Far East Plaza), I learnt that the other shops are selling their nail supplies at a much cheaper price!! I felt so so cheated! Especially for their acrylic nail brush, I bought mine at $60 from the nail institute and it does not even have any brand yet the salesgirl told me that it is the cheapest that they have in-store... only to find out that the branded ones under the brand 'Kolinsky' are sold at the same price and some even cheaper for the smaller sizes... and they look very much nicer than the one I bought! Arrgh!!
So if you are interested in purchasing nail supplies, never buy from the nail institute coz I think they are there to 'cheat' the student's money!! Stupid me kenna cheated eventhough I am not their student! Sigh...
I would recommend that you can go to this shop called Enamour at Bugis Village Level 2 Unit CSLA 2/3... They bring in plenty of beauty and nail products, equipments and accessories. And the prices there are considered not too expensive... cheaper than what the institute is selling. Their sales assistants are also more helpful and friendly... One of them is called Meijun... she was the girl who did the blings for me on my V3 last year. It was such a coincidence to see her again when I went to this shop and was really glad that she still remembers me! Kekeke...
Oh yah, they also have a website whereby online purchases can be made and goods will be delivered to you! The url is http://www.nailsupplies.com.sg/. But of coz the physical shop has more products.
I have tried doing an acrylic nail extension with artificial tip on the fake finger today... Tadah~! Here's the end result!
Nice?? I know the nail looks slightly oversized for the finger but this is actually due to the fake finger which needed this size of fake nail to be inserted into its slot.
I will try doing the sculptured extension the next time round, meaning using acrylic to sculpt out the nail tip as the extension instead of using artificial tips then overlaying with acrylic.
