Attendees will be able to achieve each look, design and structure of the nails in the most efficient manner. Each class is a one day hands-on intensive workshop limited to 15 participants.

It is advisable that all attendees must have prior training in nail enhancements and have completed a professional nail course before joining this programme.  

So proud of these work by the  professional nailtechs in Malaysia recently in Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru :

Roaring 20's Fantasy Nail Art

Fantasy Veteran 1st Place - Premiere Orlando

Had so much fun with this set of fantasy creation, didn't think I could make the entry with all the travelling in between, but it's definitely an exciting theme to work on.  The formation of my design was based on the art deco inspired Roaring 20's theme

Amazing Taiwan

Education is never enough, what an amazing class as always...

I love this girl, she's not only multi-talented, but she actually wears these awesome nails and work with them !

The night market in Taiwan is famous for its food trail.....oh yes, these Taiwan sausages is a worthy competitor against the Bratwurst :):):)

these ice-cream are like cotton candy that melts in your mouth and the fried stuff are equally yummy...

there cute little puppies were for sale at the night market....I was so tempted to buy one !

This was the most memorable Mixed Media entry from the competition by a taiwanese ONS educator (YiWen) which came in a well deserved first place win. Simply stunning and high quality work!

Competition organized annually by Taiwan Nail Association (TNA)

Check out the trophies !  We had fun giving them away :)

Design Sculptured Nails Spring 2010

This entry placed 1st in veteran for Design Sculptured (Flowers Theme) at the IBS Las Vegas, at the last minute I hooked up with my hand model who happens to be a nail student finishing her natural nailcare training. I was told recently by her teacher that this experience motivated her to pursue further to study nail enhancement. I'm so glad for her ! 

These were demo nails done at the booth in April and she later had them filled and shorten

 and just had it removed when I saw her recently in June !

HotRods entry for Mixed Media placed veteran 3rd Place. I'm so sad that I lost one of  my favourite tip with the beer glass because the liquid inside the glass moves...I'll just have to make one more, but it will never be the same :(

What does Hershey and Nails have in common ?

.....they took my breath away! The world of Hershey chocolates is huge that they have a town named after it, a convention centre, theme park, hotel, school, factory and even Hershey chocolate martini! In the bedrooms, Hershey's kisses welcomes each guest and also served as after dinner sweets. It's also here at the Hershey convention centre in Pennsylvania that 2500 cosmetology students gathered for a great event of shows, competition and classes. I admire these upcoming talents and their dedicated educators and feel greatly honored to spend a few days with such wonderful people. If you're in the US, and you want to have the best education for cosmetology, check out the Empire Group of beauty schools.

Another memorable part of the event was being able to see the amazing hair maestro Nick Arojo in action! He made me wanna do hair! LOL...that's the power of inspiration...
