Hari Raya Haji & Puasa!

2011-11-05T02:45:00.000+08:00

Hello!

APA KHABAR ("How are you" in Malay)?

Selemat Hari Raya Haji!

Hari Raya Puasa- Celebration for the Malays who have completed their fasting period. Yeah! Most of the families will give out duit-raya, which is commonly known as the green packet during this celebration. Hari Raya Puasa lasts for a month.

Hari Raya Haji (which is this coming Sunday!) Are you excited my fellow and lovely Malay customers and friends??? – This festival is different from Hari Raya Puasa. Very different in fact! It is a celebrate for scarification. (Yes, commonly known as the "Goat story"!) It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail in an act of obedience to God. Some families will still give out duit-raya but it is not commonly seen because fewer families celebrate this festival.

"On that day itself, muslims worldwide sacrifice sheep, cows or camels for the sake of religion and community. Some families will fork out money together to buy a goat. They will then bring the goat to a mosque to perform the sacrificial slaughtering after the Hari Raya Haji congregational prayers. This sacrificial slaughtering, also known as korban, is a voluntary act. Sheep, goats and cows are ritually slaughtered as sacrifice. The meat is then distributed to the community, neighbours and relatives, with special attention to the needy and poor, as a reminder to share one's wealth with others. Muslim Singaporeans are increasingly doing korban with Muslim associations and mosques, locally and abroad.

During the sacrifice, prayers are uttered and the sheep's throat is slit with razor-sharp knives. This act must be done with confidence and quickly, so as to minimise the animal's suffering. This is in accordance with Islamic law, where halal does not literally mean that the food contains neither pork nor lard, but it has to be prepared properly according to Islamic requirements."

Some of the resources and background information are extracted from: http://infopedia.nl.sg/articles/sip_694__2009-01-02.html

:) ;)

To all TNS' beloved Malay customers, we sincerely wish all of you a very happy and blessed Hari Raya Haji! To all, spend this time to wish your Muslim friends and send your warmest regards to them!

Not to forget, remember to visit us, The Nail Status too! We will be really glad to see all of you! :)

Xoxo, TNS! ♥

Halloween, over?

2011-11-02T13:32:00.002+08:00

Hi y'all! :) How was your Halloween event this year?

Fun? Exciting? Scary? Too much too handle? Boring? Disappointed? Traumatized?

Whatever it is, we hope all of you are doing well! :)

If you have noticed, we actually placed a jar of candy just right on the cashier counter at #04-83! :)

It is a little token of our appreciation towards our loyal customers and at the same time, wishing and hoping everybody a happy scary Halloween!

What really is Halloween and the story behind this origin? Just plainly making yourself look like a ghost?

Read what we have found!

"Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. In a number of countries around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats."

Yeah! So now you know! It is not representing the ghosts but to ward off the ghosts! Have a great Halloween next year! ;)

Xoxo, TNS!

Happy Deepavali!

OPI Spa Mani

2011-09-25T16:05:00.020+08:00

Wow wow wow! What are all these O.P.I products?

Hang on tight as The Nail Status explains and amazes you!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All of these are O.P.I's delicate range of spa manicure products The Nail Status uses. It Exfoliate, Revitalize, Renew and Protect your delicate pair of hands! Four precise steps of ERRP to beautiful and younger looking hands!

Here we go!

First of all, we begin the spa manicure session by applying anti-aging hand serum called the

Rejuvenating Serum that is enriched with grape seeds and licorice extracts.

Benefits: This professional treatment infuses skin with natural lightening ingredients to diminish age spots. Nourishes skin with Vitamins A, C and E!

Grape seeds known for its powerful antioxidant protection!

Step: Applies Rejuvenating Serum in the back of both hands. Apply Avoplex Exfoliating Cuticle Treatment to push cuticles and clean nail plates. Remove residue and buff nail surfaces.

Secondly, your hands will be soak in Effervescent Soak so as to dissolve the scrub.

Benefits: Brighten nails and revitalizes hands! Nutrient-rich minerals helps purifies skin, leaving hands feeling refreshed! Nurtures, soothe and hydrate overworked skin!

Step: Soak hands in Effervescent soak so as to soften more stubborn cuticles.

*TNS adds in classic manicure in this step AFTER soaking your hands.

It includes cutting, shaping, trimming and pushing of cuticles and buffing of nails. We will top it off with applying avoplex cuticle oil INSTEAD of the in-house salon cuticle oil on your fingers.

Thirdly, we will scrub your hands using the

Skin Renewal Scrub.

Benefits: Ultra-fine dissolving sugar crystals gently exfoliate away dryness and dull-looking skin, leaving your hands smooth and healthy glowing!

Step: Gentle massage with Skin Renewal Scrub

Lastly, we finished off by moisturizing your hands with the Finishing Butter *with SPF 15, a skin massage.

We love GELISH!

2011-09-17T02:09:00.030+08:00

Many of our customers and interested passers-by have been asking us what GELISH nails are and what is the difference between the normal nail polish?

The Nail Status answers...

It is actually similar to the regular nail polish, but the MAIN difference is that it lasts for up to three weeks with no chipping or fading of your nails. It is not just using the nail polish remover with cotton wools when removing gelish. In fact, we will need to buff the surface of the gel to rough it up, soak off the gelish and finally using a nail pusher tool to scrape it clean.

When we apply the normal nail polish, we usually have it painted with the base coat and then the colour polish that customers want. Gelish, however, includes many steps of applying different layers of coating. First is "Ph Bond" (dehydrates your nails), second is "Foundation Gel", third will be the "Colour" of the gelish that customers like and lastly it will be the "Top Coat". This is also why gelish can last up to 3 weeks with minimal chipping or fading of nails! The Nail Status is using all of these coatings from Harmony.

"Gelish is UV nail gel that is applied in several steps, requiring either a 36 watt UV or LED lamp to cure the gel."

Many must be wondering how much damages/negative effects etc will it have? Fret not, gelish can be applied on to your natural nails, without causing the damage of your nails due to acrylics. It is healthier and less damaging compared to the normal nail polish! That's why people love it! Who doesn't want healthy and good-looking nails at the same time right? :)

The above is the Gelish brand that we are carrying! It is from the States and the brand is Harmony. Most of you should be familiar with this woman here:

SHE CAN BE SEEN AT MOST MANICURE SHOPS! Yup, this is the poster of Harmony's gelish colours.

How can I not mention something really IMPORTANT?
Gelish takes only 10 MINUTES to dry when placing your nails in the UV/LED lamp!
10 MINUTES! I bet many of you have gone through the painful waiting time to dry your nails! Look, gelish takes only 10 MINUTES to completely dry up!

So many advantages and benefits right?

Now for the disadvantages...
Gelish costs more than the normal nail polish. Troubled? No worries!

Having customers' welfare in heart, The Nail Status is pricing:

Mani gelish at $50
Pedi gelish at $55

On top of that, members can get 15% off for gelish prices!

Not tempting enough? Well, TNS includes classic manicure and pedicure for you in every gelish session you do! Yes! Only at The Nail Status! Mani gelish ($50) includes classic manicure and the same goes for pedi gelish ($55)! So what are you waiting for?
