Pray for Japan

Since one of the most biggest earthquake and Tsunami struck Japan, I haven't had any intention to update my blog.
Even after 10 days, the victims are still suffering from hunger, fear of aftershocks and etc. with no lights, no water, no life lines.
I was so sad and at the same time I was so frustrated because I didn't know what to do even though I wanted to do something to help them.
Fortunately, my families and relatives in Japan were all safe, but still, I've been depressed for a few days thinking about what I can do.
Only thing I could do from far away from Japan was donation, so I did, and wanted to do more so I sold my crafts as SaSa Handmade at EJCA on March 19th.
This event was a success and my friend and I donated $379 together to the Japan Red Cross thanks to the customers who cooperated with us and EJCA members who quickly and kindly accepted us to be there and sell our crafts.

We are not finished yet.
We will do it again at the same place on April 2nd.
Details to follow.



Anyway, here are my new set of gel nails I did on the same day that the horrible earthquake and Tsunami struck Japan having no idea such a disaster was happening...
Even now after 11 days, they still look as new.
No lifting, no chipping, still shining.

Practice on my sis-in-law's hands

I got some handmade orders done today and wanted a little break so I called my sister-in-law to my house and practiced on her hands.
She wanted mono toned simple nails, so I did silver, black and aurora glitter gradation and put a little flower and heart on them.
A little bit of rhinestones here and there aaand done!
It took me about an hour to do everything, that's not bad ;)




Actually, I am not satisfied with the gel products I am using right now.
It shrinks a little bit when cured, so it's kind of difficult to put gel really close to cuticle lines.
I really like how it shines like a hard gel even though it's a soak-off gel so I think I will still use this product but try different ones too.
The new products are on my way from Japan~:))))
