french pedi @ fingerwork

Went for a French pedi @ Fingerwork at Boat Quay on JZ's recommendation. It's really not bad! The owner, Melissa is a really nice lady and she makes you feel comfortable right from the get-go. It's probably the only place where you'll feel relaxed enough to start chatting to the other customers about overseas trips and the likes. I feel that at Fingerwork, I pay not only to get really awesome French pedi (special discount for SMU students!) but rather you pay for the whole experience.

I first went on Wednesday night, and accidentally scraped the not-yet-dry white polish. Came back the next day and she fixed it for free, throwing in a homebaked chocolate cake! Really really sweet. And she called me 'young and sweet'. OK fine I can hear you laughing... But hey that was a nice compliment!

But then on the way back to work I experienced an acute phobia for feet. Do you know how many feet there are in an MRT??? There was this overweight fella who lumbered around and pushed everybody into the MRT with just his aura. If I get stepped on by him that's it for my French pedi! There was this aunty who was SMS-ing and wasn't looking at where she was going. Harlow??? And then the kiasu office ladies who pushed their way around with their boobs and pointy heels. And the workers carrying trolleys around - OMG! I think I was the most high-strung person in that train station.

Anyhoo will post a sample pic of the French pedi once I figured out how to airbrush bruises & bunions away (my feet are really grossly deformed after rolling all around the Victoria Theatre stage). Here's the website for Fingerwork in the meanwhile:
