This outfit photo was taken after a particularly funny and eventful night so I am surprised that I'm actually smiling in it!! But there was a lovely blue sky so that probably made my mood a bit more on the side of cheery. In other news I branded the inside of my knees with my hair straightener on Saturday which I'm not very happy about as they are quite bad so I'm just hoping now that they don't scar. I've already bought a bottle of bio oil to get the healing kick started, but seriously what idiot goes and burns their knees with a hair straightener? You wouldn't even know that that level of clumsiness existed until you came across someone like myself. As if my heels aren't already dangerous enough to walk in (I haven't shown you guys what I go out at night in yet* **) I now have to be very very scared of my hair straightener amongst all the other dangers in my life, like large neon nightclub signs falling on top of me***.

Love Always xoxo,

*No I am not a stripper or exotic dancer-I know it crossed your mind.

**Not that I have anything against anyone who is.

***True story, an enormous nightclub sign almost fell on me (also on Saturday) 3 seconds after I walked underneath it on Ann St in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley. I definitely wouldn't be here if it had got me so thank God for that one!

100% Gel Painting Technique

Promising Artists

Just finished teaching 3 days workshop with these promising nail artists working on 3D techniques, handpainting and creating a dragon out of acrylics. I was very impressed with the outcome of these first time dragons completed in less than 6 hours. Thank you girls for the wonderful time and the host for their hospitality. It's my hope to see them continue their passion and to see their work on the competition floor in the very near future. 

An Affinity with Colored Acrylics

Although gel is taking the nail world by storm, I think I will always have a soft spot for acrylics because it's such a vital part of nail artistry.

These are some of the designs I've been teaching in my 3D workshops and I love the challenge of cooking up new designs for every workshop so that all attendees can look forward to learning something different and exclusive to every class.

The NailQueen Workshop Series will end this season in October 2010. We are planning a big bash & 2 days of "special" workshop in February next year right after the Singapore Beauty Expo. Look out for our 2 days "NailQueen Presents The ONE" class on 24&25 February, 2011 to be held in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Mark your calendar for the dates and we will announce the details soon.
