[CLOSED] Manicure & Paraffin at Pink Parlour + GIVEAWAY!

When Friday rolls in, everybody seems to be in a happy, chipper mood! We live for the weekend, huh? :D

Where I work, I'm in front of the computer 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, typing away 'til there's no tomorrow. Sounds boring? Wait 'til you hear this: When I go home, I'm almost always in front of the computer, too, typing away on my blog. LOL. My hands definitely need some pampering!

Just yesterday, I went to Pink Parlour in SM North ESDA after work for a Royalty Treatment. My weekend pampering started here, where I had a Manicure + Paraffin. I said started, since today I just had new lash extensions done, plus haircut and hair treatment. (It's so fun being a girl! Haha)

Stepping into this place really makes me happy. I love Pink Parlour's girly theme with the bright walls and pink accents. Also, check out their wall of nail polishes! :D

My throne! :D

It was my first time to try a hand paraffin treatment. (My nails were cleaned and shaped before the paraffin, to prep it for the manicure that would follow.) This treatment is a luxurious add-on to the normal manicure we usually get. Not only is it able to make our hands softer, it also serves as a heat therapy that relaxes sore and tired muscles.

Each hand was dipped thrice into the melted wax, which immediately solidified.

After that, each hand was wrapped in plastic and towel to let the wax set (for about 10-15 minutes). At this time, the wax works its skin-softening magic on my super dry hands.

And now the fun part! When the wax has dried up, they'd pull it off like gloves. It looks as if my hands were peeling/molting. Eww! :D

Ta-da! Soft and smooth hands. No sign of stress or tiredness here!

After that was the most difficult part - choosing what color among all the bottles on their shelf. I spotted Tony Moly, China Glaze, OPI, etc. Some even had sand texture, while others have the cracked effect (which I am not a big fan of).

In the end, I went for China Glaze in Lubu Heels. It's black with red shimmers, inspired by Christian Louboutin heels (in the classic black pumps with red soles). My photo doesn't do the shade justice; it looks black indoors but it looks totally awesome when light hits it.

Because Pink Parlour and I love my readers, one of you lucky kittens is going to get the chance to try this Royalty Treatment for FREE!
