Earlier today I had a little nega vibe hangin around in me. I blame it on the PMS. So it's a good thing, my cousin paid me a visit and we decided to hit the spa.
One of my cousin and I's favorite bonding activity is going to the spa for either a massage or a mani-pedi.
A quote from Cosmo Phils Magazine, November 2010 Issue:
My nails got a different color:
My cousin decided to get a paraffin wax:
Paraffin Wax treatments are defined as:
"Paraffin wax treatments are luxurious spa treatments that are intended to moisturize and soften the skin. Paraffin wax treatments are most often applied to the hands and feet as components of manicures and pedicures respectively. Paraffin wax is unlike more common spa wax that is used for hair removal on the face and body. That type of wax is much more viscous and bonds to the skin." (Source: WiseGeek )
A guy beside me was getting his Pick-Me-Upper as well.
And while waiting for my nails to dry, I usually go through all the colors of the nail color that they have and discovered almost similar shade and name of the nail color, manufactured by different brands.
Meet Violet Velvet (Brand:Chic) and Blue Velvet (Caronia)
After 2 hours in the spa just for mani-pedi,( well my cousin had several stuff lined up for her) we decided it's time to go.
Note: I do not recommend putting on a "quick-dry" solution. It'll only make the surface dry, but the deeper part, like the middle part of the painted nail is nt yet done. I read somewhere that if you want to make sure that your nails are now ready, make sure to do the ff:
- Double coat is the max, do not exceed with the color/ nail color application.
- Listen to 3 songs consecutively while basically doing noting. (Just waiting for your nails to dry.)
- Dip your fingertips into a cold water for 10 seconds and pull it up. Then Air Dry.
I tried it and it worked!
