LATEST NAIL ART PRINTING – SUR CHARACTER MANICURE FROM KOREA!

ImageImageImage

Now you can PRINT Nail Art & Characters onto your nails WITHOUT the need for any highly advanced or sophisticated state-of-the-art printer!

How amazing is that?

SUR’s Character Manicure set from Korea does EXACTLY that!
It is easily purchased at selected Watsons stores in Singapore.

The SUR Character Manicure set comes with
1) 3 sheets of 12 different patterns on each sheet
2) 1 White Base Coat
3) 1 Transfer Solution

*NOTE: You will NEED an additional TOP COAT to seal in the design and create a protective high-gloss shine.

And now, I’ll show you how to do this amazing ‘Print On’ manicure, in this Step by Step Tutorial!

STEP 1:
– Make sure that your nails are buffed and smooth. Apply the White Base Coat on your nails and wait for the base coat to dry COMPLETELY.

ImageImage

STEP 2:
– Cut out the patterned sheets (or you could cut out the sheets in advance, before you apply the base coat). Take 1 patterned sheet and apply at least 2 Coats of the TRANSFER SOLUTION (Pink Bottle) to the printed side of the patterned sheet and then press the PRINTED SIDE face down on your nail.
– Remember to PRESS and HOLD the paper firmly in place and use the edge of your nail to press down on the sides and corners of the nail, to ensure that the color sticks on evenly to the nail (you wouldn’t want patchy and uneven prints!). It helps to press and hold the center of the nail with the paper first and then proceed to the other areas, pressing down print by print.
– I figured that it’s possible to even Press down on single Prints only (for example a solitary Diamond print) to create a customized mix or spacing of different patterns. Try it! Be creative!
ImageImage

STEP 3:

– Remove the paper. There may be some bits of mushy paper stuck to your nails. You may apply some TRANSFER SOLUTION to the nail to remove the softened wet paper bits gently with the tip of your fingers.
– APPLY Top Coat and you’re done!

Image

And now, for the finished results (Pardon me for the ‘not so professional looking’ application, as it’s my very first time trying it out. I promise to do a better job next time!)!

Image

ImageImageImage

And I’m LOVING my newly Printed nails!

I hope that you’ve enjoyed this tutorial!

We were invited to the 4 Fingers Crispy Chicken Pre-Opening Launch yesterday (23 May 2013), at Plaza Singapura #01-32 (it’s right at the entrance of Plaza Singapura!). This exclusive event saw many VIP guests like industry partners and high profile individuals, as well as members of the media and press making their presence, with much excitement.

Thank you to Jay Lim (Principal Consultant of WOW Productions & WOW TV), Billy Yuen (Executive Producer & Director of WOW Productions & WOW TV), Christina Chung & Winston of Huney’Z World, Matthew (writer of Beaute Runway) for coming down!

Guests enjoyed Free Flow of Food & Drinks, with signature meals and dishes from the much saliva-inducing menu (see below).

Check out the famous juicy Korean-Western fusion Kimchi Chicken Burger, Seaweed Fries and the Korean-Western fusion Soya 4 FINGERS CRISPY CHICKEN Fried Chicken Wings & Drumsticks! Yummy!

We like how the KATSU CHICKEN SANDWICH was served in an aluminum metal box! How cool is that? And we love how strongly the Urban Street Identity is reflected in every brand touch points, from the logo to the collaterals, videos, interior design and Food Packaging! Look at how the business contact number is shown on the aluminum box – instead of calling it the usual ‘Contact’ or ‘Telephone’, they’ve called it ‘PAYPHONE’. How creative and edgy!Image ImageP1080352P1080354P1080353

This is the famous Korean-Western fusion 4 FINGERS CRISPY CHICKEN Soya Sauce Fried Chicken Drumstick! Mmm… just look at how succulent & juicy it is when you bite into it!
