I am actually thrifty


The reason i started doing my own nails is because i find going to a nail salon regularly is very expensive. And then it just snowballed from there.

One day, i was surfing instagram and saw this:


Suddenly remembered how much it costs to do some simple nail art outside, and then developed this urge to find out if i really saved by doing my own gel manicures.


These are all the manicures ive done for myself since i bought the gel polish set, there are some ugly diy manicures but i shall let them pass hahaha.

14 manicures total. Lets use conservative price of $60.

14 x $60 = $840 is how much it will cost me to go to a pro manicurist.

Moving on to costs, my 1st gel starter kit is $208.


My 2nd new and improved gel LED lamp is $188.


Not to forget my gel polishes.


16 bottles bought in Singapore at average of $18, 3 bottles bought from Taobao at the price of just 1 in Singapore. $18 x 17 = $306

Total Costs = $208 + $188 + $306 = $702

I still save $840 - $702 = $138 !!

Now i feel so much less guilty when splurging on nail stuffs HAHA.
