Kawaii Doggies NailArt in Tokyo! Some doggy nailart upgrades I did in my hotel while escaping the terrible sun in tokyo last week. The heat is really terrible(x10000).. Anyway, the doggy had more details than the last & she's wearing a polka-dot pink t-shirt this time round.. dear Kapuchiinousa  (カプチーノうさ) is posing next to it as usual...Wahaha! ^.^

The KL Nail Show is finally over, we should be hearing from the nail product suppliers this week. Thus, all information on the cost of the classes to be posted by beginning next week.
Special concessions for PRINA students. 
I plan to have the first PinkRoom.Alumni.Nail.Class would start running in Oct 2001.
A summary of what you can expect from the PinkRoom.Alumni.Nail.Classes:  
1. All Classes would be conducted primary by Miss Rachel.T.
We would also be honored to have our PRINA Grand Master Educator Joe Chua for some of the classes.
Guest-Trainers from different parts of the world would be invited to "guest-teach" once a while too. Local Nailist would also be invited to do guest-appearance or demos in the plan to support & promote local nail talents.

2. The PinkRoom.Alumni.Nail.Classes would be held once a month, maximum twice a month.

3. Topics includes all types of Nail Arts like - Acrylic Embossed 3D, Kawaii Characters nailart, Folkart/tole painting, Design Sculpture, Airbrush Designs, Color-Gel nailart, Mixed Media nailart designs, etc. just to state a few topics.

4. The main topic to be taught for each class would be posted in advance on our official internet media. *Topics taught would not be repeated for the next 6-8 classes, thus you would need to wait for the next round if you had unfortunately missed the topics you liked.

5. Each PinkRoom.Alumni.Nail.Class would include demonstration of the advance techniques by the Master Trainer. It would also include hands-on sessions where each participants can work on the designs taught alongside the corrections given by the Master Trainer.

6. Only the nail products brand endorsed by our sponsor nail supplier would be allowed to be used during each class. [Full product list to be posted once we get it from the sponsors. Tentatively safe to say that Charisma would be one of the brands they agreed to allow..hehe]
*Imitation versions of the brands are not allowed; mainly because all imitations contains toxic cancer-causing chemicals and I dun want to have cancer..haha!

7. All available  seats are based on a first-come basis registration. Class size would be limited to the venue we are conducting the teaching.

Students' on-job-experience in Malaysia at The Nail Depot Booth.. The Nail Supplier had only praises for both of our PRINA gals who helped them at their booth, they said that they were very friendly & hard-working. They can now perform "live" demos to any customers that walks-in to the booth.. Yipee! An ultra confidence-booster for both Eugenia Nia & Lici Yang! ^.~

An Inspiration for aspiring NAILS entrepreneurs

Welcome to my shop in a shop MY PAPER - Mon, Jun 21, 2010 
I've been wanting to post about this since I saw it on the MY PAPER in June...hehe..
our PRINA-Gal - Sylvia Tan (SIN09-xx3C) had been featured on our local newspaper about her business venture into nails. But I had been so caught up by a whirl-wind of stuff that I forgot to post... Until she tweeted me a congratulation message on my Successful Entrepreneur Award 2010.
Yeap... I got an award and itz cool that I am congratulated on it... but it is all the more meaningful that the well-wisher is from another successful PRINA-Gal. I wanted to blog about the article as it reflects many of my other students experiences too. I hope to encourage each and everyone of you that it is possible to fulfill your dreams! Like I always share in classes, it is not necessary to rent a full shop as a salon on your first attempt; you can slowly work your way up from doing freelance or home-service or renting a space within another shop..
I know fully that the road taken by her was not easy, especially doing something that is totally outside the "normal" career-path. I understand the many doubts that would always arises during down-times, the courage needed to keep on going. I truly hoped that when looking back now, everything would be worth it for you.
I would also like to say the same for all you aspiring NAILS entrepreneurs! It is not an easy path if you decided to troth it, but it totally beats wondering the many "what ifs" for the rest of your life.

PRINA Alumni Nail Classes

Preparations for the prina.alumni nail classes for the month of Sept & Oct & Nov is now under-way. I managed to get a few nail-product brands involved as sponsors for the classes! This would greatly cut down the cost needed for running the classes, thus students would be able to attend the class at a much cheaper cost... yeah!! \(^.^)/ I am still in the midst of negotiating a good deal for us. Hopefully would be able to give good news before I fly to Japan.

At the moment, I've posted more nail art photos to show what type of nail art designs would be taught during the up-coming prina.alumni nail classes.   
*Side note: Thank you for everyone's "oh so kawaii ah..." comments onto the FaceBook posting of Hello Kitty + My Melody. Once again, we can see the power of the "mouth less cat".
All these talk of Hello Kitty Nail Art reminds me of a dear student of mind.. The-free spirited- Clara..*click to see her early melody nailart..  Perhaps the craze with Hello Kitty/Melody began way before her, but hey...she's a PRINA-gal, so it's just her in my earliest memories lor..LOL...
She loves making Hello Kitties & Melody with acrylic powders. I still remembered the time she went up with me to KL for one of our Nail Shows, she was studying for her JNA with me at that time & we were worried she have not much time left before the JNA exams with me always traveling. So I took her with me for the trip, in the event that if she have any questions, I'll be around for her.. Thinking back, abit 委屈 for her to travel about with me like that.. haha.She was supposed to study at the PinkRoom Booth, once a while help out to do demo to practice her skills before the JNA exams... I figured it's good experience & exposure for her skills.
i managed to find a photo of her stressing out
with the Japanese JNA textbook! (@ lower right side)
That's me long-hair behind her.. haha.
and yes..that's joe doing demo at the booth.
I guess she got bored & needed to destressed..
so she started doing Hello-Kitty Deco for everyone's hand-phones...
I was quite bemused by her actions but needed to have a stern-face & reminded her to go back to her JNA study. Haha...It is good memories..

dear clara: "wondered if you still remembered or not?"...*tag u..lol


Personally, I think nail art of Miss H [Hello Kitty] + Miss M [My Melody] are totally over-done by so many people; so much so that it is totally not original or creative anymore! That is reason why i seldom do them..Haha. But I guess the reason so many of my students kept asking me to teach & want to learn how to make them is because Miss H + Miss M are really so cute...\(^.^)/  As for me, I'm just reproducing the characters & teaching students to recreate them oni..
We should all thank the person who created Miss Hello Kitty-Ms Yuko Shimizu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuko_Shimizu). Of coz must oso thank Sanrio for letting everyone copy their characters without paying lah...haha! Oppss... would we all get sued? I've credited Sanrio on my blog...dun sue me pleazzee...Super-LOL!!!

Hello Kitty(ハローキティ)+My Melody(マイメロディ)

 Done on 2 thumb-nails. By the way, ハローキティ & マイメロディare not frens, they don't even know each other as they are from different anime series lor. They just "work" for the same Sanrio Company... Just in case you are interested..Wahaha...!
There had always been a constant nagging from everyone to get me to teach cutie nail-art from Sanrio on a more regular basis...usually, I would teach our own PINKROOM staff and during school nailart seminars these kawaii nailart ケアベア ピンク Good news for you all...すまいるBad news for Joe (...he considers cute nail art "er-xin"...)
I had finally succumb to the array of nags & begs & what-nots.. to teach kawaii nail art more often!
I'll be doing these alumni nail seminars-classes for the month of Sept & Oct & Nov.
The nail art topic scheduled for these few months would be "kawaii-series" type of nail art. You would learn the techniques required to create the "pong-pong" ultra-3D-rounded-look for all the cute sanrio characters or kawaii art. There would also be other cutie-nail art besides sanrio characters.

I hope to equip everyone of you with enough cutie-nail art for the up-coming festive seasons. Hopefully you can all "HUAT!HUAT!" for your nail-biz in the coming holiday season months. 
I'll post details of the [PinkRoom.Alumni.Nail.Classes] in my next post on Monday.

A Student's Study-Log @PinkRoom : I'm happy!

A Student's Study-Log @PinkRoom - Stella [SIN10-xx1B]
Student since February 2010.




I’m happy!August 5, 2010


♥LOves

Just received my acrylic certificate today! I’m so excited as had always wanted to learn acrylic and gel extension and that’s the motive of me applying for a diploma course to be a certified Nail Technician.
I’m very happy with my performance as well as I guess I had a better grasp of arylic than my fellow coursemates. Moreover, I want to perfect it! I want to go for higher level of standard.

Therefore, I guess I will specialise in doing acrylic and gel extension as a freelance Nail Technician(:
I’m contented. No matter how tired I am. Its worth working hard to earn that money for my expensive course fees(:

And I realised that the Expensive Course Fee is due to the fact that they have this Educator, Joe Chua.
He’s my Acrylic teacher as well!



Joe Chua (the guy on the right)
Senior Educator
EZFlow Nail System’s Master Artist Educator
Star Nail Certified Educator


Basically, He has a lot of certificates(;
But I would say He’s AWESOME! He really can teach very well…
