Shucks i mixed up the sequence of my entries ... Derrick is sure to scold me again...
anyway one of my oldest friend Xiumei was celebrating her XXth bday on 20th May so we had an early bday celebration for her...
Xiumei and Lihui at Gardens by the bay before meeting me...
i couldnt join as i was sick after going just the day before!
the hot sun and the cold domes do not go well for my old body!
Happy Birthday to my dearest babe! Glad you are finally "grounded" with the rest of us!
Me with Lihui babe who introduced us to the yummiest Korean Fried Chicken i have ever tasted!
even beat my previous fave 4 Fingers (though i still love 4 Fingers for the more pocket friendly price)!
Kko Kko Nara at Tras Street is a must go!
My iphone crashed that night so i lost all pictures of the yummy fried chicken but would be back again to take more pics for sure!
Outfit of the day:
Forever 21 floral and lace clinched waist tunic (bought a long time ago online so i forgot the price)
Uniqlo white spag top underneath ($7.90 at the recent Uniqlo sale! great layering tool!)
(Unseen in pic) Black Uniqlo skinny Jeggings that are super comfortable!
Great for heavy flow days and cold overseas trips!
also did my nails that afternoon before meeting the gals...
an apple a day keeps the doctor away!
loving the apple and glitter tips combo (though picked mainly to cut cost and save $)
20 Nails at Dawson Place #01-03A is where i have my regular package on top of my groupon ones (oops cheapo accountant!)
they never fail to disappoint and the gelish manicures that they do for me usually last beyond the 3 weeks stated!
For the above the glitter tip is free with the $59 gelish manicure
$3 for each apple and i had 4 so $12
additional 20% discount for their package holders!
deeply pissed with my recent deal bought at Palette Nails @ Star Vista
i bought a Groupon for 3 sessions of Gelish Manicure and Express Pedicure with them in January
could not get an appointment for CNY even though i was willing to pay the top up
so in the end i did at 20 Nails above
made a 2nd attempt to book in March (cos as mentioned my 20 Nails gelish usually last beyond a month)
could not get an appointment till 2 weeks later approaching end March
person assured me that as long as i start the first session before the package expiry date in April i would be able to use all 3 sessions
the first session with Palette Nails was disappointing for various reasons
1) i waited very long even though i made an appointment cos they accepted an ang moh lady who walked in just before me even though they were already fully occupied... so i had to wait behind the ang moh lady... what is the point of making an appointment with me then?
my other nail places always told walk in clients to come back at a more acceptable time if they were fully packed...
2) they charge extra $5 for the new OPI colours... like WTH? i never heard of such rulings
extra $5 for a glittery gelish colour too... just the colour mind you... the glitter tip which is free at 20 Nails cost $15 there!
3) the glitter purple colour that i paid $5 extra for chipped and came off within a week! Gelish is supposed to last 3 weeks!
But still when you pay peanuts u get monkeys....
So i just wanted to use finish my 3 sessions and didn't bother to go complain within the 1st week when the gelish came off as some of my friends suggested...
which proved to be a huge mistake!
because when i next tried to make appointment and headed down for it, they said the deal has expired and told me to get back the money from Groupon!
hence the above was a last minute visit to 20 Nails...
emailed Groupon but they said since i already utilised the voucher (even if just 1 of the 3) i cannot get back the refund unless i can get email proof from Palette Nails stating i have only used 1 of the 3 sessions
which to date they have refused to reply all my calls and emails!
need to call back on a day when i am feeling especially nasty!
bad experience at Palette Nails do not ever go there!
i mean i paid peanuts and is cheapo hence the quality of the gelish sucks i accept it.... but i should not pay for services they promised i could utilise and yet do not allow me to after that!
