French Manicure

It was a good weekend of manis and pedis. Had a pedicure at a nail salon, and did my very first French manicure, all on my own, WITHOUT nail guides (I used Sally Hansen's French Manicure Kit). It was quite a feat, painting the white stripes on my right hand, using my left (I'm a rightie). Took me 3 to 4 tries on each finger before I actually got it right. Sorry, no photos to show as I obviously can't take a photo of both my hands by myself, and I was too embarrassed to ask anyone else to do so. Anyhoos, I find French manis very clean, and definitely very chic. For those who have never had a French manicure (or am I just hopping onto this train now?!), I'd recommend you give it a go.

Hahaha...I got my first french mani in S'pore airport last year and having never had one before, I didn't realize that I could touch anything, open doors and the manicurist had to dig out money from my back pocket to pay for the mani. So embarassing.

Hehehe, tell me about it. I look so weird handling things with my fingertips stretched out, curved outwards. And after all the hard work, no one noticed any thing different! Ish.

I never could get the whole "white stripe" thing working for me, so I guess I wasn't meant for a Frenchie... ;p

Maybe you go waggle your outstretched hands in Queensbay Mall lah - they might appreciate them there!! *laughs*
