Sally Hansen's Workshop Tea Party

Joined my friend, Jessie, on a girly treat last Sunday with Sally Hansen. It was a Workshop Tea Party organised by Sally Hansen Singapore held at Little House of Dreams, Dempsey Hill. Pretty cakes and refreshments were prepared for the event.

Sally Hansen has been in the market since 1946 and has become a household name, famous for its dedication to making innovatively-formulated and affordable beauty products. It encourages women from all over the World to DIY, taking beauty into our very own hands. To be salon done but better, because we are empowered to do it all by ourselves.

I ordered Earl Grey English Tea to pair with the lovely cakes.

We were given some nail care tips and were taught on the correct application of nail polish at the workshop. We also get to play around with the different nail polish displayed on the table and tried them on our own nails.

Gel polish can be done at the comfort of own home with Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel polish. It is the ultimate chip-resistant nail polish with patented technology for longer wear. Best of it all, there is no UV lamp required. Their new 2X Volume & Shine Miracle Gel has over 21 shades and is retailing at S$16.90 each.

Nail care starts with the proper technique of nail filing (swift motion towards the centre and each in the same direction) and having a good base coat. Sally Hansen also offers some really great everyday nail care products;

Instant Cuticle Remover : Maximum strength formula leaves cuticles smooth and soft. Great for calluses too! Formulated with Chamomile and Aloe, known to help calm and soothe. (S$14.50)

Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil : Strengthens and nourish nails and cuticles for soft, healthy and smoother nails. Massage in to help increase circulation to the nail bed and stimulate new nail growth. (S$12.50)

Miracle Cure : Exclusive Mirco-Mineral formula fils in cracks to instantly strengthen and reinforce nails with up to 50% stronger nails in 5 days! Instantly stops peeling, seal the nail plate and bonds layer together. (S$23.50)

Miracle Nail Thickener : An advance thickening treatment targeting soft, thin and ridged nails. Exclusive calcium and ceramic gel formula reinforces and smoothes nails. Expect up to 70% thicker nails in 4 days. (S$23.50)

Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat : A 2-in-1 base and top coat that protects and strengthens nails with double protection. As a base coat, double duty moisturizes and hydrates nails with panthenol. As a top coat, double duty protects with nylon. Nails are shielded with a hard, shiny, chip-resistant finish. (S$11.90)

Complete Salon Manicure Dry & Go Drops : Dries polish on nails in 60 seconds and expect completely dry in less than 2 minutes, preventing smudges and dings. Vitamin E and Jojoba formula helps hydrate and nourish dry cuticles. It gives a smooth, glossy manicure without the wait.

Now there is no reason not to start my DIY nails at home with all these wonderful goodies from Sally Hansen. Looking at how easily my nails usually chipped, i start off with applying the Miracle Nail Thickener and then the Moisture Rehab before going to bed.

Thank you Jessie and Sally Hansen !!

[Media Invite] Launch of PONY X Swarovski 'Refraction' Collection

This Christmas holiday, Product Of New York, PONY releases its latest collection - entitled "REFRACTION", embellished with Crystals from Swarovski, where quintessence of street style meets the realm of luxe.

 

REFRACTION offers cooler than ever unisex street wear and in bold colours of Black, White and Red, classic pieces embellished with Crystals from Swarovski. Besides, who doesn't love blings? This collection got its name inspired from crystal's diffusion of light to emanate its exceptional state. It revolves around the idea that we all have a spark that lives in each one of us. However, just as any fire fuelled, we need help from people around us to kindle that light within. We need people who can refract our energy, so we can discover sides of ourselves we never knew existed. Ultimately, with the help from our family and friends, we can ignite that spark and discharge our light to the world. Through this light, we radiate our innate strength, our passion and our true essence – maximizing our fullest potential to become the best version of ourselves. This philosophy is what the collection aims to achieve as it fuses two distinct brands into one.

PONY - an American footwear industry veteran works with Swarovski to assemble classic pieces seamlessly infused with crystals. Through positioned at two opposite ends of the spectrum, these brands will project a unique disposition and a platform to illumine inner perfection.

Taken reference from the rugged yet jaunty streets of New York City, the collection features a bold and androgynous collection of oversized shirts, drop-crotch shorts, jackets and footwear ranging from $89.90 - $199.90. It embodies a carefree and laid-back attitude tempered with sophistication for a fresh take on street-style. With its clean silhouette and streamlined shape ornate with detailing, the collection brings certain glamour while retaining brand’s youthful energy. Every piece transcends time and trends – encapsulating the brand’s celebration of individuality and eccentricity. The PONY chevron continues to point forward, to the future.
