Here it  is as promised! My fabulous Rei Nail Art experience documented from start to finish! How on earth did I do that while Akiko (nail stylist) was busy glittering my nails you’d ask? Well, I politely asked every time she adds a step in the process using my free hand hehe!

Okies, from left to right:

Photos 1 & 2: Cleaning and buffing the nails (*note: I really liked the fact that unlike regular manicures, this technology is guaranteed no ouch; in simple terms no murdered nails)

Photo 3: Calgel base (a new form of artificial nail)

Photo 4 & 5: Nail Art (really, I commend Akiko for having such talent!)

Photo 6: Another coat of Calgel (to seal and even out the nail art)

Photo 7: Hand/Nail drier (perfect for the busy kikay who needs a quick manicure!)

Photo 8: My nail art is complete!

Photo 9: Comparing it with the sample template (You can choose from a wide variety of nail art..you can add rhinstones, swarovski, embed 3D flowers, hearts, etc.)

Calgel color does not chip or peel, so very intricate nail art can be done even elaboarte art ranging from leopard-print to 3D flower and heart designs. Their services include: Nail Gel Basics, French Nails, Air Brushing, Nail Gel Scuplture, Rhinestone Embellishment, Art Gradiation, and Marble Nails
