Part 2 (finger & pedi-cure): July 10
Misaki and I went back to the nail salon, Theory, three weeks ago. I chose a different design and color this time. I always wanted to do a french nail before, so here was a chance. I add a black lace (sticker) to each nail to the french nail. It was good on the picture I found on Yahoo, but when I looked at my nails, it was very questionable. My nails were too short to have a french nail with a black lace. Black lace does stand out. Well, this is still just a practice run. I also did a pedicure as well. Each big toe was supposed to have a marble design, but it unfortunately didn’t come up as I expected. Oh, well, no one is going to look at closely to my toe nails after all.
Part 1 (only finger): April
My friend and I went to the hair/nail salon, Theory, in Saratoga to do my first gel nail. I didn’t know how popular this gel nail in Japan is until my friend, Misaki, told me. I wanted to find out what this gel nail is about and if I can wear for my wedding in October. As per her recommendation, I searched many different colors and art designs of the nail from Yahoo Japan and printed some samples I like. I really liked how this art design and color looks on my fingers.
According to Misaki, it is supposed to be last up to one month! (Her case was two months.) I have to wait and see what happens to my nails after a couple of weeks. Well, this was my first and practice trial. If this will be last long as my friend says, I will definitely try a different color and art design for my next visit!
