Well… this is it. I officially have my Work Permit for China.
BRING IT ON!!!!!
One brilliant thing about Shanghai? Their amazzzzing MANICURES.
This was only 58? (US$8.50), and it was considered pricey by Shanghai standards!
Layer of OPI pale-pink, followed by 3 layers of various coloured glitter on the tips

woah that’s pretty cheap for a manicure! And it looks fabulous, too!

I can’t believe it was considered one of the ‘more expensive’ ones too… in Australia it’s about 3x the price!

Pretty nails! There is so much more nail pretties to play with at the nail places in SHA, looking forward to see more of your experiments!

I see women with lots of bling (pearls, crystals, etc) on their nails here but i only like the polish, cos stuff on my nails annoy me too much! 😛

I miss the cheap costs of labour! Have you gotten your hair washed yet? I got it for 10yuan per wash, cut and blow dry, at the more expensive place 30yuan! Even the cheapest places in Sydney (Campsie) are still at least $10AUD and that’s a really really crap haircut and no blow dry.
beverly – posted on February 10, 2009 at 12:49 am
Not yet.. dya reckon they wash/cut/dry it well? I’m too scared to venture into one of the random roadside shops 😛

GREAT nails! I’m stealing the look and asking my manicurist to do it for me! 🙂 Sadly I will pay nothing near $8.50 though, lol. Anyway, I’m so glad your move has gone relatively smoothly!
beverly – posted on February 10, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Hehe do! Next time I think I’ll go for the same style, but like a deep deep deep red.. hope that turns out 😛
