I'm very excited when I entered this nail salon because the ambiance was very relaxing. I was also enticed by the color scheme of their interiors and the furnishing because black is one of my favorite colors. I call their nail salon theme as modern gothic chic. I enjoyed looking at the displays and their Christmas decors were unique. It's only October when I visited the place and the white Christmas tree made my stay there more special.

Agenda of the day was to get gel polished! So to start, Ms. Helena introduced EzFlow TruGel nail polishes to me. She explained briefly what's the difference of conventional nail polish and gel nail polish in particular. At first I was thinking that gel nail polishes were soft and would easily chip but after this, my idea gel polishes changed big time! To tell you honestly I was a bit hesitant to try gel polishes because of the negative things that I've heard from friends of friends but when I tried it, I can say I'm a convert!

EzFlow TruGel Nail Polish Intimate Sparty at The Nail Lounge Manila So many colors to choose from :) |
EzFlow TruGel Nail Polish Intimate Sparty at The Nail Lounge Manila Wide range of nail polish colors because ten a dozen is not enough! |
There were so many colors to choose from and I got confused what gel polish color I really wanted to paint on my nails. Can you guess what colors I chose from the palette below? I actually chose four colors first then round down to one. It's one tough decision because once the gel polished was applied onto the nails, it's not that easy to remove. There's a service offered also in this salon just for the removal of gel nail polish.

I really had a hard time choosing the right gel polish color for my manicure, but before that I also had a pedicure using Seche Colors. This was a premium nail polish from Seche- the makers of Seche Vite, world's fastest drying top coat. I chose a bold color nail polish for my toe nails. My apologies I forgot the exact shade that I got. My feet was pampered first- soaked, trimmed and cleaned lastly, painted!

The Nail Lounge nail technicians and attendants were very meticulous in trimming and cutting dry skin and cuticles from my toe nails. I can say that I like how they cleaned my nails and they were very approachable and courteous every time I asked some tips on how to take good care of my pedicure and my nails. I told them that I have very thin skin and they carefully trim those dry edges.

The very most awaited and exciting part, the gel polish application. My finger nails was trimmed and cleaned then four steps prior to the application was done. There's a bonding agent, a protecting agent and a conditioning agent all applied one after the other to protect the nails from drying because of the gel polish.

Another important thing that one must have, if you're planning to paint your nails with gel nail polish is the UV lamp. This is very important and was made in conjunction with gel nail polished.

Here's my newly painted nails! Amazing and beautiful! I fell in love with gel nail polishes the moment I've tried it because the color pay off was very different from the conventional nail polish plus the glossy gel like shine that I had in my nails looks gorgeous. I also like the fact that it only takes a few minutes to dry so no need to worry if your in a hurry. Since this will take more than two weeks or a whole month to chip, you will notice that your nails will just grow and see the bottom part of your nails unpainted. If you're the type who likes to repaint your nails in just a matter of days, then I do recommend using gel nail polish unless you're willing to pay every day or every three days for example just to remove it. There's a specific way and product that nail salon uses to remove gel nail polishes.

I've never tried Gel Polish before, but the application process sounds so complicated! How long does it take the whole process normally?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fun of art nails but i wanna try it :)
ReplyDelete@Phylicia Marie Pineda- yes, the application is a bit complicated and the process will last around 1 hour including the cleaning and buffing of nails.
ReplyDelete@Rubbie Anne Abad- yes, you can try this for a change :)
looks expensive but it think worth the price!
ReplyDeleteOh...a beauty routine for hands and feet! I loved this way, if I'm a female, but I love it. Recommend this to my female friends.
