I haven't had much time lately since I started my new job. :(

I also haven't had time to start taking new customers... :(

Hello Kitty & My Melody LOVE*

Posted by Jen Ko at 5:35 PM 3 comments
New sets, mostly acrylic! I haven't done nails for quiet a long time and now that I'm getting appointments after appointments I am dead beat tired!! I know it doesn't seem like a lot of work but my eyes feel so dry and my back & shoulders are in so much pain. I feel so old now, and my friend joked that it was because I haven't done real labor for awhile. The results still leave me very happy!

Look!! it's hello kitty & my melody! :D (Sculptrue Nails/Acrylic)

It was my first time makng hello kitty, I never get Hello Kitty requested but finally this great customer gave me the chance. I thought Melody would be easier since I've done her plenty of times, but Melody was giving me a hard time with her eyes that day!!

Too bad I decided for this customer to fill up every finger since she had a special day... but if you look carefully there were seashells!!


This set was done on my coworker's hands.

The problem: She has odd hands/fingers, I've never met anyone where my forms don't stick on. Maybe it has something to do with her glands, and on top of that her finger nails flicked upwards. I'm practicing on her in case I get customers like her in the future. Not happy with the results, I need to practice on her more.

Initially we didn't think the pink was going to be that pink since I haven't used my new gel from bio sculpture yet


:) K. always makes me laugh!

LOVE!

LOVE some more.

I love her cause she just lets me do whatever I want. That blinged up finger was her idea not mine!! :) What are friends for??


This is usually how messy I am at the end of a nail appointment. I just keep putting stuff on the table and forgetting to cap everything. After the customer leaves, guess who helps me clean?? Not me of course!! :D hahaha

A random shot I took while in Downtown LA. Is graffiti art or vandalism? This is art.

Komasa Restaurant(recommend!!)

Posted by Jen Ko at 12:35 PM 1 comments
This place is my favorite sushi (nigiri) restaurant. Not only are the prices low, but the quality is superb!! I don't think I've ever been disappointed coming here, and I love places like these. I'm not a fancy shmancy girl, I like to eat fast and leave fast.

I have this secret pet peeve where I don't understand why people sit around at a restaurant(esp small restaurants like this one) and talk when they see how many people are waiting to get seated. I mean, you can go get coffee afterwards OR talk in your car. When I see many people waiting EVEN at souplantation I try to eat quickly because it's the right thing to do. I dunno, I care about the random-est things.


These pictures weren't my best, I always want to gobble up my food before snapping pictures, I need to get better at that!


Ankimo - Monkfish liver ($5)

P1010704

Sometimes the ankimo is really really good, and it's only $5. I have yet to go anywhere where they sell ankimo for $5. :)


Albacore

P1010707

I just recently started liking albacore, and i think one of the main reasons why i like albacore is because of the ponzu it comes with. Komasa's albacore is good.


Snapper

Hamachi

Spicy Tuna

P1010712

They have the best spicy tuna!!! Also their salmon is really good as well.

CalGel sets

Posted by Jen Ko at 2:52 PM 3 comments
I just started doing soft gel since they are in high demand. Although after trying soft gel I have still realized that it does hurt the nail bed like acrylic, but just not as much. I recommend gel for those who DON'T want extensions and want something simpler and natural. I am actually beginning to really appreciate soft gel! :)
