Birthstones Charts

2011-01-04T23:30:00.004+08:00

In my younger days of long, long, long ago, I was really into stuffs of the mystical kind. I even used names like Le Mystic.
Birthstones was one of the subjects that I was fascinated with. I would stop at shops to have a look at the birthstones available. But it was really odd to me at that time as to why for a certain month, this shop will say that A is the birthstone while another shop will say it is B that is the birthstone and not A.
It is frustrating. Because of this, I had been keeping books & catalogues on this subject over the years. Some of them actually contradict each other. Headache...
Today, I managed to sit down and compiled them together. I have to widen the scope and have also included the modern trends of using Swarovski Crystals and Swarovski Pearls.

My Latest Developments

2010-03-31T12:47:00.006+08:00

Hi ladies, I am sorry that I have not been updating my blog for a while but I was busy with my ETSY shop. I had been listing supplies everyday but at least I got some sales to make it worth while.

Anyway, I think I will go into supplies, I have been sourcing around for what to get for my next batch of supplies & I come up with so many things & ideas.

I also had a good laugh. It seems that some of the ESTY sellers have been buying goods from wholesalers & passing them for their own creations. Damn, don't u hate this kind of people! It is bad sheep like them that let people think that handmade is cheap stuff.

Anyway, I have always been playing with the idea of featuring sellers or handmake creations on this blog but never seems to have the time for it. So for now, I am going to have this complimentary service for my supplies buyers but they must have beautiful photos. It is always wonderful to know what other people have been up to & the masterpieces that they created. N the stories that they can tell us. OHHHHH....., I can't wait!

U all have seen my stuffs but the story behind my handmade pendants, rings etc... seems to be buried somewhere out in the cyberspace so I will start with mine 1st. Hopefully, if I can get the photos ready in time.

So many things to do, is Santa's little helpers reading this? I can definitely use your help.

My Latest Developments

2010-03-16T16:39:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone, I have stopped some of my teaching classes for a while. So at last, I am now able to have time to concentrate on my accessories range & photography. Thank God!

I have been very busy lately taking photos. My finished handmade pendants & rings are shouting at me to hurry up & start taking photos. But goodness, you have no idea the amount of pendants & rings that I have done over the months.

I will try to update my blog everyday with at least 3 designs for now. I do not wish to do everything at once cause I find that stresses me out. 2 many things 2 do at once isn't good 4 me.

Do keep a look out for my ETSY shop! As I am trying to keep the course fees low for my students, I have ordered certain lucite flowers in bulk. I will be selling the surplus items there.

Anyway, I have shifted to Wilkie Edge, #01-03. It is at 8 Wilkie Road, next to Peace Centre. Pls contact me at 8298 9190 for your nail appointments as for now I only go there when I am booked or else I be at home backlogging my work.

Regards,
Michelle

I created these one of a kind pendants using acrylic powder on a bezel. Each piece took me about 3 hrs to make. I did only these 2 beauties.

I was actually playing around with the powders that I had just bought. They had flakes of glitter in them. The photos didn't do justice to the pendants. If you look at the actual pendants, you will notice the flashes of light that was reflected off by the flakes inside the pendants.

Overall, these pendants have a very opal like effect!

Handmade pendants (13 x 18 mm)

2010-03-01T23:33:00.011+08:00

I have just came up with my new range of pendants. They are 13 x 18 mm in size, silver color. So far, this is the smallest size for my pendants.

They are created due to feedback from people that they wanted a more affordable range. These 10 pieces are only available at BEADHUB. The 3 pendants in the last photo are priced at S$33 each while the rest are at S$29 each. Customization is available.

I will try to come up with a few more of these soon but I have been busy trying to improve my photography.

1 of my friends had been giving me some tips. She was a professional photographer before. She was at my place on Saturday to give me some pointers & wow...... my photos turned out so much better. They aren't so dark. It turned out that I wasn't fully utilising my camera's functions at all. I am starting to fall in love with my DSLR all over again.

Actually, I have another new range of rings done but they are not yet available for sale. I was having some problems with their photos previously. Hopefully, with this new photography knowledge, the photos I take now will do justice to them.

The 4 photos shown above are taken using my new knowledge. You will notice that they are brighter, less shadows, the colors are also more exact. The only editing I did is sharpening & cropping.

I was so amazed at the speed which I took them. It was so fast. Normally, it will take me forever to take photos which is a part of internet selling that I hate. Now, it is a breeze.

Lucite Flowers

2010-02-15T17:23:00.007+08:00

My new stock of Lucite flowers has arrived last week but it took me forever to do stock check, take photos etc. I still have a few boxes left to check through. But so far, I have some that are of fantastic quality while there are some that give me problems. There is this particular flower that is 40% unusable. I am so disappointed. I had a few designs in mind using this flower. I have to make do with what is available now.

Well, that is the problem for buying wholesale. I also had a lot of other issues with this company. I am overcharged for shipment, long waiting time etc... I am not going into my long list of complains regarding them but I believed you get the general idea.

But in all fairness, there are some Lucite flowers that are beautiful in terms of quality, colors etc. I have taken a few shots of them to show everyone. They are shown in the photos above. As I have a healthy stock of them, I will put some of them up for sale in my ETSY shop soon. There are 8 colors in all.

Photo Lockets......!

2010-01-29T04:14:00.007+08:00

I did these photo lockets last night. 6 in all, each representing a primary or secondary color of the color wheel.

My personal favourite is the locket with the purple theme. The one with fishes swimming around. I have decided to add it to my personal collection. Haha......!

The rest will be available for sale at Beadhub.

I actually had them for quite a while. It was an impulse buy. I wanted to do earrings with them at that time. It was an idea that I was toying with but things didn't turn out well so they were left lying about the house.

I remember them when I wanted a new look for my pendants. Took me quite a while to dig them out of their hiding place. I sort of misplaced them. Haha......! Well, my room is a mini treasure chest..... ok... that is an understatement......!

So after a night of fiddling with them...... I present to you all these one of a kind photo lockets. Enjoy!

My latest creations

2010-01-24T21:27:00.006+08:00

I have been trying to come up with a simple version of my art these few weeks. At last, these beauties have emerged. I created 6 of these in total, all 1 of a kind.

They are adjustable & the best part is that u can mix & match them. They may very well be the only ones that I will be doing in gold rings & of a 10mm bezel setting. I am not able to get any more of these. I have been searching but so far it has not been going on well. Sighz.....!

These beauties are now only available for sale at Beadhub. Their contact number is 6223 3662.

New Workshops coming up soon...

2010-01-17T15:47:00.006+08:00

WOW... I can't believe it! I can jump for joy! My handmade acrylic pendants are now available for sale at BEADHUB, a high-end retailer for beads, findings etc... in Singapore.

I will also be conducting workshops there to teach the students how to do the pieces themselves.

It used to do a time consuming process but after around 1.5 yrs of fine tuning the process, it is definitely much faster & easier now. Of course, I will still try to make improvements whenever necessary.

I am also going to conduct a whole range of workshops starting from end FEB onwards at a shop in Bukit Timah on a more permanent basis. Sighz... still doing the ground work for these workshops! HEADACHE...!

I used to wonder why my friends prepare about a month earlier for their workshops. Now I understand why. haha...

Some flowers out of the blue......

2010-01-10T22:30:00.004+08:00

I did these pretties a few months back when I was decorating my nail corner......in the shop.

They are fairly easy to do. It helps a lot if you got tons of papercraft & jewellery making items lying about in your house......like me! ......sighz......

Spring cleaning is always a chore for me! No points for guessing why. The answer is pretty obvious.

Airbrush French Manicure - Before & After

2009-09-26T23:27:00.007+08:00

Just did this set of french the other day. I had them airbrushed on. They looked more natural. Unlike with normal nail polish, which looks bulky and uneven at times. Airbrushing is actually a very fine layer and the nail tips all look consistent.

Nail Design - Wild Delight

2009-09-08T22:33:00.011+08:00

I had this photo submitted today to a magazine. Actually, I had no intention of submitting this design in the first place so I did not pay much attention to the structure. This is more of a fun piece that I was doing.

To my surprise, some of the photos turned out very well. They speak to me!! So after much inner struggle, I decided to share it with other people. Enjoy...!!

Professionalism in the Nails Industry

2009-08-25T22:29:00.003+08:00

- Don't use & sell inferior products to clients. It is not ethical & lowers your credibility.
- Have proper training. Years of experience doesn't mean that u know what u r doing.
- Don't tell clients that they have fungus infection just to sell ur products. U r not a doctor.

Discoloration of the nail plates

2009-08-03T22:22:00.005+08:00

A student asked me the other day why her nails turned yellow. This is actually a question that is asked all the time.
In general, nail discoloration is caused by dyes, damage, drugs, disease, injury or illness. Basically, our nail plate can absorb a lot of substances as it is porous. For example, smokers will find that their nail plates turned brown because nicotine is actually absorbed. Intensity of the stain increases as nicotine accumulates. Other substances can also cause discoloration.
Dyes can also stain the nail plate which is why I always recommend using a high quality, professional nail polish. Some inexpensive brands cut corners & actually use large amount of dyes to reduce cost thus discoloration is more likely to occur. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.
Some topcoats can also cause yellow or light brown stains when applied to the natural nails. Therefore, always use a good base coat as it also help seal & protect the plate from staining.
Damaged or injured nail plates also tend to be more absorbent.

Nail Design - Twilight Flowers

2009-07-08T23:48:00.004+08:00

I just finished this set of nails & had the photos submitted today to a magazine. I am not too happy with the way the photos turn out. I did not have the time to take a lot of photos as I was rushing to go to a class later. I will take more photos of the design on Friday & post it up on this blog.

One of my students said that these are the empress dowager Cixi's nails. haha... The rest are shocked & they wondered how I did these pointed beauties. Well, they will know in time to come...!

Mini Cards (2 in x 2 in)

2009-07-02T01:44:00.008+08:00

I have just finished some of my Mini Cards. These 3 are my favourites. I love the intensity of the colors. The PINK flowers also add a nice touch. I managed to get the last bottle of flowers in this color. LUCKY ME!

All are handmade by me. You can see more of these MINI CARDS at my shop.

I am now shooting in RAW format so I am able to capture the colors better. It took me weeks to learn how to use it. But the results is so worth it. At last, my photos are able to do some justice to my creations. Of course, there will always be room for improvements. On the bright side, I will have less sleepless nights because I do not need to worry so much that the colors in my photos are off.

I shown the whole collection to my colleagues & they went wild over all of them. Each of them has their own mini favourite. Haha.....!

I taught a new batch of students for ITEC today. They are one of the better classes in polishing. Signz..... I need to redo the ITEC nails tutorial steps one of these days. There is some revision.

I also need to do more Mini Cards. Need to clear my table first of them so I can then concentrate on doing jewellery later. Wow.....! Come to think of it, it seems like ages that I picked up a round nose to do a loop.....! Haha.....!

My Handmade Pendants

2009-06-23T23:05:00.003+08:00

At last, after 1 month of starting this project. I have finished these beauties (9 new pendants in all). All are handmade by me. You can see more of these pendants at my shop.

Now, I am going to take a break. Doing them are neck breaking. Going to concentrate on papercraft for a while. I did a lot of mini envelopes the other day but i still need cards too so that will be my next area of concentration.....! I am going to die cut away.....so happily.....! Just finished die cutting a whole stack of baby bunnies & butterflies.....! I also need to get my hands on some black paper so I can start doing my HOLLOWEEN series.....PUMPKINS.....anyone?

I am also teaching a new nail course from 010709 onwards, it's going to take up a bit of my time but I LOVE NAILS.....!

My Handmade Pendants

2009-06-07T23:32:00.004+08:00

These beautiful pendants are all handmade by me using acrylic powder. They are all one of a kind. I am currently doing more of these unique pendants. So do keep a lookout for them!
Colors may be a bit off due to screen differences. But don't worry, they are much more beautiful in real life!

Thank You Cards/Tags

2009-06-06T06:47:00.008+08:00

I just got myself a papercutter a few weeks ago. It is so amazing. I had so much fun with it. It gives me such beautiful designs. The flowers shown on the cards/tags above are cut using this wonderful machine. I am going to fill my ETSY shop with them soon. Keep a lookout for them.....!

I did a craft session making bookmarks with my students just the other day. My colleagues went wild with the paper cutouts when they saw them. They asked me to decorate the office with them when I am free.....! haha.....

I still have 3 more sessions with the kids.....can't wait to see their creativity.....! I forgot to take photos of their work but you won't believe the work that I had seen. 100% for creativity. I can also see their inner soul through their pieces.....! No wonder, people have said that art is a extension of you. You expressed what you are at the core.....!

Hot Baths VS Cold Showers

2009-06-05T01:37:00.008+08:00

The curative powers of water have been known since ancient times: archaeologists have identified bathing places where early cave dwellers treated the sick.

We used water for also everything.....drinking, bathing..... No wonder, Water is called the essence of life.

Hot Baths

A warm bath relaxes the muscles & eases pain. A hot bath serves the same purpose & also promotes sweating, which removes impurities from the body.

Cold Showers

A cold shower in the morning & at night increases muscle tone, speeds up metabolism, stimulates circulation & the glands, strengthens the nervous system, increases hormone production, improves digestion, builds up resistance to colds & infections, helps to prevent premature ageing & keeps you younger.

They were a popular health measure in the 19th century.

**I always take warm showers but now I think I will start having the cold showers. "prevent premature aging....." are the magic words! hahaha.....

Health Tonics

2009-06-05T00:32:00.009+08:00

People once swore by health tonics which was believed to stimulate our body systems to function more effectively.
"Spring tonics" were especially popular & some modern experts believe that their effectiveness was because fresh fruits & vegetables were less available during winter so people were starved of fibre to keep the digestive system working efficiently.
Today, some of these health tonics are still drank by people because of their restorative effect on a slow digestion.

Barley Water

It helps to clear the kidneys & bladder & also helps to promote clear skin. It is also a good substitute for tea & coffee.

100 grams of pearl barley
3 cups of water
lemon

Boil the pearl barley which is covered with water in a stainless steel or glass saucepan.
Pour through a strainer & throw away the water.
Add 3 cups of water to the barley & simmer for 2 hours.
Add the zest of a lemon & leave to cool.
Strain the liquid & refrigerate.
Serve with a slice of lemon.

Dandelion Leaf Tonic

This tonic stimulates gastric secretions & increases the output from the kidneys, creating a diuretic effect.

1-2 teaspoons of dried dandelion leaves
1 cup of boiling water

Steep 1-2 teaspoons of dried dandelion leaves in 1 cup of boiling water for 5 minutes.
Strain & allow to cool to lukewarm before drinking.

Herbals Teas for Detoxifying

2009-05-19T21:38:00.009+08:00

Dandelion, Licorice & Ginger Tea

This tea can help after a night of binge drinking. The bitter dandelion root will rejuvenate the liver while the sweet-tasting licorice acts as an adaptogen for the adrenals, cleansing & nourishing the system. Ginger will help to unsettle that feeling in the stomach.

1 teaspoon dried dandelion root
1/2 teaspoon ground licorice root
1/2 teaspoon peeled & grated fresh ginger
2 cups (500ml) boiling water

Combine the dandelion, licorice & ginger together in a warmed ceramic/glass teapot.
Add the boiling water, cover & let it steep for 10 mins.
Pour through a strainer into a warmed cup & drink.
Drink 1-2 cups a day for a week to help the body regain strength.

Nettle & Clivers Tea

This tea is nourishing & cleansing for the lymphatic system.

2-3 tablespoons dried nettle herb
2-3 tablespoons dried clivers
2 cups (500ml) boiling water

Combine the nettle & clivers together in a warmed ceramic/glass teapot. Add the boiling water, cover & let it steep for 10-15 mins.
Pour through a strainer into a warmed cup & drink.
Drink up to 3 cups of this tea each day.

Footbath (Mint Footbath)

2009-05-18T11:57:00.004+08:00

Mint Footbath

After a long day on your feet (especially after shopping), try soaking them in this soothing footbath. The methods for preparing it is relatively simple.

12 large sprigs mint
120 ml cup cold water
2.4 litres of boiling water

Place the mint in a food processor & add the cold water. Process it until it becomes a green paste. Pour this into a large bowl & add the boiling water. Once the temperature has cooled to a bearable temperature, soak both feet at once until the water is too cool to be comforting.

Massage your feet with an cooling gel after this.

Simple ways to detox your body

2009-05-15T22:06:00.005+08:00

Detoxifying is about improving the digestive system (liver, kidneys & bowels) to provide an overall feeling of well-being. Years of dietary & lifestyle neglect can lead to a sluggish system. This can cause skin outbreaks, headaches, fatigue etc.....

A glass of warm water first thing in the morning after you wake up gives the kidneys a thorough flush. It is a simple & gentle way of cleansing your kidneys. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime for an extra flavour if you want.

To help digestion, mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into a glass of warm water & drink this before each meal.

Oh Shit! My polish CHIPPED.....again.....I just had them done.....!

2009-05-14T22:50:00.006+08:00

Well, I heard that quite often..... & I am always explaining the "whys....." to them. So today I will list the reasons down beginning with the most common culprit of them all.

improper prep work
polish was force-dried
flaky nail plate
no base coat or an unsuitable one was used
polish was applied too thinly
polish was thinned down too much

**Personally, I find that most of the time it is improper prep work that cause all these chippings. I am sorry to say but nowadays manicurists are produced in droves but where is the quality? Where is their knowledge? They are trained to do nails but are they trained to understand nails?

Why do we use Base Coat & Top Coat?

2009-05-14T21:52:00.005+08:00

Base Coat

improves adhesion
protective barrier to prevent staining of the nail plate

Base coat is available in plain or ridge-filler formulas. Ridge-filler base coat is usually milky with a matt finish.

Base coat must be thoroughly dry before applying polish or peeling/bubbling may occur & the manicure/pedicure will not last as long as it should.

**I prefer the ridge fillers as they even out the nail plate thus making the following polish application looks more even but they will take a longer time to dry compare to a plain formula.

Top Coat

gives a protective shield while increasing gloss/shine

Featured Nail Design

2009-05-12T00:07:00.003+08:00

One of my featured nail designs. It's a step by step tutorial that I did for Beauty Cosmedica. This tutorial is available at www.freewebs.com/michelleyip.

Lint Free Cotton

2009-05-11T23:05:00.008+08:00

This is one of the few brands of lint free cotton that I had used that is really lint free & also still reasonably priced. I just brought a new box for S$3.57 at NTUC.
Years ago, it was only available at a particular shopping centre in Orchard. Now, I am able to get it near my place. Lucky me!
A box can last me about a year depending on usage. I used it on my nails & face but I used it more for nails. I got a particular brand of cotton balls that I loved to use for face but sadly it is no longer available in Singapore. I was told by the salegirl that people found it expensive. Obviously, they have no idea what is quality!

Pros- no fibre will be left on nails when you used it to remove polish, cheap.
Cons- not absorbent enough, have to cut into small pieces.

I had some that are of better quality than this brand but those are in the high-end range.

I did this set of acrylic nails on myself more than a month ago. I actually wanted to do 3D flowers on them also but I just don't have the time. I still have them on but they had been shorten. I'm going to remove them tomorrow & hopefully I'll have time to do a new set.
But first, I am doing to do a new set of gel for my toenails. I've removed my last set of gel(shown below) a few days ago. I didn't do a new set cause I've no idea what color to use...! I'm spolit for choice! haha... I got a few comments on flick for these 2 designs. Check them out!

2009-05-06T23:39:00.004+08:00

Fancy acrylic nails that I did before. I actually did this design for a good friend of mine for her wedding. She is also a trained nail technician but she has lost touch. She was so fed up with the nails that she did herself for her photoshoot that she decided not to do her wedding nails herself. She actually brought her kit to me so that I can use her products instead of mine. She has no idea what to do with them. Just the other day, she was asking me if there is anyone that I know who is willing to buy them from her. Haha... I remembered her saying "They are all white elephants now."
