I know... you are reading this and thinking, "But it's already over!!!" But hang on... I have more to share and a LITTLE surprise for you right at the end~~!
First, let me just introduce to you what PinkRoom International Nail Academy is all about.
If you are looking for a school to get yourself certified as a nailist and wants to learn everything related to the art of nails, then I would definitely recommend PinkRoom International Nail Academy to you.
The PinkRoom International Nail Academy is authorized as the affiliated training centre for various
International Nail Systems and Nail Associations, to conduct trainings, assessments and certifications in
Singapore.
The school is registered under MOE so you can be sure that this is not just another private school which runs the risk of packing up with your money. The PinkRoom International Nail Academy is proud to be the only nail school in Singapore that is registered as a Private Education Institution (PEI) with the Council for Private Education and this gives students a safeguard protection.
PinkRoom is backed by a group of committed and internationally recognized master educators with
years of experience, all of whom were hand-picked by its founder and principal, Ms. Rachel Tang herself. Furthermore, they are also fully supported by their network of international renowned masters & educators. The school regularly invites experts from this international group of overseas educators to conduct exclusive seminars & workshops to ensure all students remain relevant with the latest trends and techniques worldwide.
We had the chance to meet the founder of the school herself- Ms. Rachel Tang. Ms. Tang previously was a lecturer before making the switch over 10 years ago to focus on developing the local industry. A jovial lady, she readily shared with us her experiences, difficulties and the challenges she faced in this intensive competitive field.
Yes- Ms. Rachel Tang herself meeting us.
1 feature of PinkRoom is their class size of about 20 pax. Do you think it's too huge for a hands-on curriculum? Ms.Tang explained that a huge class size is the better choice as students will be able to practice on more 'nails' of their classmates' and a huge sample size also gives better opportunity to evaluate possible arising problems on different nails conditions= more leaning points.
There is no salon business at PinkRoom so don't expect to get any kind of nail services there. Instead they tied up with other nail salons to set up a network so that graduates can find jobs. From what we know however, most graduates of the school will set up their own nail service businesses and so it's definitely not the interests of PinkRoom to compete with their students in this pie.
Ms. Tang also shared with us that another PinkRoom feature is how they have fixed schedules for their classes while others may offered flexible schedules and timings. A fixed schedule for classes will ensure that students stay focus and not drop out as easily when compared to only attending 'flexible' classes.
We then went on a little tour round the academy and had a basic nail-art workshop! YEA~~ Time for some fun~
Huge pink brand of theirs + Shirt-dress from Headline Seoul.
Some snacks- but we were too busy with our lessons to eat.
Our trainer for the hour- Nicole~~
Happened to be her birthday on the day we visited. Happy BD~
Our first task was to create Water Marble Nail Art.
omg... what? I have zero idea on what that is. And I am in particular not very good with my hands so... ehhmmmm...........
So we are supposed to dip alternate drops of nail varnish on top of each other. Then we are to drag them out from the centre of the puddle to the 2 sides. Lastly drag from the 2nd outermost layer straight down in the middle and then sub divide and drag top to bottom again ( but be careful not to drag till the 1st outermost layer 'cause it would have dried by then and if you pull against the dried layers, then BOOM, the whole piece of 'art' breaks into pieces!
So this is how it should appear.
The tools for the art creation.
Listening attentively.....
looks easy but it's so not..... haha
Okay whatever... time to START!!
So I put 1 Drop of green, then... another drop of yellow.....
Trying very hard to focus and to remember the steps.
Okay the puddle of colors are ready! Now what?
The difficult part is the dragging with the toothpick portion
Eh... which direction to drag huh? -_- stress
So Nicole teacher guided me... opps... haha..
It was until she drew the diagram on the board when I finally got it. I am a visual and pictorial person seriously... And I forgot to take a picture of that cute diag to show you guys!
Min Ru here- a fren I met on that day is all smiles as she did a really great job.
Me? Too stress to smile... ><
And so we went on to do 4 nail pieces each and it was all laughs and fun....
Okay after N attempts....
Still working on chopping the marble art effects
Okay behold, here are my final 4 pieces~~ Tada~~
After many failed attempts coz they broke at different points and I had to restart.
I love them.Though not perfect but well at least I gave in my effort to complete them. *Proud*
And we were introduced to some gelish nail products.
That's PinkRoom's 10th anniversary special key chain shining~~
The Gelish polish can be dried in a few minutes with a LED Lamp which promises to be less harmful than a traditional UV Lamp.
