UNGATEKEEPING MY BRIDAL NAIL STUDIO
So just a little #storytime, I actually don’t have a regular nail technician doing my nails because my nails are always so thin and brittle 😭
I only choose to do my nails on occasions ie holidays, CNY, Xmas etc and of course when it came to my wedding I had 2 criteria:
1. A classy, elegant with some nail art element for the ~vibes~
2. To ensure my nails would last and not crack/chip before the big day
I was planning to do it 1 week before the wedding, just so I have time to correct it if it goes wrong LOL (blame me and my paranoia) esp since I don’t have a regular nail technician and decided to go with someone I’ve not done my nails with before (+10 points for my bravery 🤣)
It turned out SO WELL so today I decided no more gate keeping!!! Sharing the deets here for the rest of the BTB, or in fact anyone that ’s looking for a good nail tech cos IM IMPRESSEDDDDDD that after 1.5 months, my nails are still looking amazing!!! Look at the pics for the progress through the weeks.. the retention is SOOOO GOOOOD 💯
So anyway, long story short, here’s her IG handle: @bq.nailstudio (refer to last 2 pics for her profile)
A bonus if you’re in the North East, but I would say she’s worth travelling over for! 😍 best part? Arnold’s is just opposite so you could even kill 2 birds with 1 stone and indulge in a lil guilty pleasure after your mani ;)
For those curious about maintaining elegant bridal nails, especially if you have thin or brittle nails like me, here are some tips that helped my nails survive long after my wedding day. First, choosing a skilled nail technician who understands delicate nails is crucial. Though I didn’t have a regular nail tech, trusting @bq.nailstudio turned out wonderfully—her expertise ensured my nails didn’t chip or crack for over a month. Second, timing your mani is important. I recommend getting your bridal nails done about a week before your wedding day. This gives you time to fix any issues without rushing. Planning ahead reduced my stress and contributed to flawless nails on my big day. Also, opting for a clean, simple yet elegant design with subtle nail art makes a big difference. It suits wedding vibes perfectly without appearing over-the-top. Using minimal embellishments like tiny gems can add charm while keeping the nails durable. Lastly, aftercare is key. I avoided harsh chemicals and wore gloves when doing chores to protect my nails. Regular moisturizing of cuticles and gentle handling helped maintain their look. Bonus: If you’re in Hougang or the North East, BQ Nail Studio is fantastic. Situated near Arnold’s, it's a great spot to enjoy a treat after your nail appointment. Whether for a wedding or special event, this studio is well worth the visit for lasting, classy nails that keep getting compliments!
hello! how much did you do it for?
