When I arrived for my manicure & pedicure session BreadTalk IHQ outlet, the staffs wasted no time and started with me right away.

I am sure most ladies are familiar with the steps of a manicure/pedicure session but here's a quick recap of what they had done:-

Soaked my feet in warm water
Disinfect of nails
Cutting and shaping/filing of nails
removing of cuticles / remove foot callouses
buffing of nails, etc to prepare for nail color application

I would say the steps are quite standard and doesn't differ much from any other nail salons. The manicurists suggest that I do gel for both hands and feet because it dries almost instantly! It's my first time doing gel nails so I was amazed. Because in the past, 98% of my manicured nails will end up badly smudged by the 2nd or 3rd day. It is frustrating.
I'm sure gel nails is not something new to ladies who did manicures very often, so please pardon a mother of 2 like me who simply had no time to do these for a long long time!

The manicurist asked me to choose the colour and nail designs I want for my hands and feet.
At this point, I'm spoilt for choices. They have very unique nail art designs, especially the hand-drawn ones! I believe these are one of their selling-point! Nail Salons are everywhere, their services are largely the same but there's always something unique that sets each of these salons apart. So If you are looking to get very pretty nail designs & arts, look no where but Bejeweled!! They have hundreds of designs for you to choose from for ANY occasions! Even if nothing caught your eye from their collection, you can also show them your own image/design that you want.

After choosing my desired nail arts, they started to apply the gel on my nails.
- Base Coat
- Two layers of color coat
- Nail art / nail glitter / mirrornail design
- Top Coat
Each coats are carefully applied to perfection.

The silver-like coating u seen on my alternate fingers are called the 'mirrornail design', they told me its in trend now, again, I'm totally unaware of the trends right now. So I just went along with whatever they suggested as long it looks nice!

Here's some snippets of their services. They also had a wide-range of facial treatments which you can see from their website.

Loving my bling nails!

For my feet, I had chosen an Eiffel Tower nail art for the big toe. So nice and unique isn't it?! The design I chosen for my fingers are rather simple as I reckon it is too hard to maintain no matter what kind of designs I've did. But I love the shine effect of the mirrornails. My session was done in 1 and a half hours because my hand and feet was done at the same time, and gel nails dries instantly so there's no need to sit and wait for it to dry like what seems forever.
