McQueen's inspirations.

This is McQ by Alexander McQueen's fall 2010 Lookbook and here is what I noted:

1. Looks suspiciously like Marc Jacobs's 1992 Grunge collection for Perry Ellis with which he was promptly fired because of.

2. The boots used in the lookbook I believe are the Chloe/Doc Marten collaboration from not long ago.

3. Finally, the patchwork jeans look a Lot like a pair done by Cheap Monday not too long ago.

4. I can't get enough of grunge so regardless of all of the other designer influences in this collection, I am LOVING it. Excuse me whilst I go find myself a nice long floral maxi dress at Lifeline!

Love Always xoxo,

Pink Inlays~

this set of inlays are done on a soft pink base (:
unlike my previous inlays which are done on matte purple and blue~


inlays are nail art embedded within the nail extensions, its not easy to achieve as i have to maintain the thickness of the nail.

Thick looking nails doesn't mean it can last longer, its a misconception of many customers (:
As long as the nail structure is done correctly, inlays can look thin and pretty ^^


lovely crystals decorating other nails so that they wont look "left out"

Rose Garden - 蔷薇 + Notice

May promotion >>>here<<<

Notice : From May onwards, a deposit of $25 is required to secure your appointment.
The deposits are non-transferable and non refundable for no shows (:

I do seek your understanding for this new implemented rule because ever since I started this business, I gave customers my trust that they will turn up for their appointment thus I didn't collect deposits.

But a minority of them just have to break the trust and decided to go missing in action without informing me.

This is my full time job and I can't have customers not exercising responsibility on their own. Apologies to u babes but this new rule has to be strictly followed from 1st May 2010 (:
