Xmas Collection 1 + Giveaway!


Something exciting to share here, before I blog about the outdoor shoot we did just this week for the upcoming collection!

I recently visited Candilicious Nails, a home-based nail parlor to do up my nails for Christmas and New Year, & I'm loving them loads! & yes, SIX&TWELVE is partnering with Candilicious Nails to for a free giveaway for the month of December (read on to find out more).

Here're pictures that I took from my last visit!



Cosy room with pink walls, which girl doesn't love pink! Loving how the white cupboard compliments the pink too!


Gelish! They're currently having a promotion for Gelish nails, check out their website to know more!
Here's some pictures of the process.

I didn't know what to do for my nails because I usually just paint them with colors I like (like pink, red, midnight blue, yes I know super boring, I don't even do French tips!), so I left it to Shanice to come up with a design for me! I think if you have some ideas in mind, you could communicate it with her, like show her a picture or something? I'm sure she'll be able to do it for you!


Pink gelish with maroon french tips! Loving the subtle glittery nails teehee.
Adding on the blings! I was surprised when I saw that she's putting more and more stuffs onto my nails, haha! But I love them! Especially the flowers on my nails, that are made of acrylic powder.


Drying them under LED light. The good thing about Gelish nails is that it takes only like 30 seconds to dry, and it won't chip and will last for dem dem long! Shanice chose a light pink base for me so that when my nails grow out, they won't be so obvious. So thoughtful right!


The complete product!




With a happy me! heehee :)

Here's the full set of gelish colors that she has, and us in the background looking silly haha!


Not forgetting the basic colors from OPI and other brands! You'll definitely be spoilt for choices.



One good thing I love about visiting a home-based nails parlor is that the manicurist gives you her full attention. & there's no other person around to rush her so it's really relaxing. What's more, Shanice is really nice and sociable, I actually spent about 2 hours at her place without feeling like I spent such a long time there.

SO! For the promotion, we'll be giving away $10 vouchers for Gelish services (U.P $35, which is already super cheap!!! And with this voucher it's only $25! That's how much you pay for a classic manicure, or maybe more at other nail parlors) for the first 30 customers for the upcoming collection! Some terms & conditions apply though, like the standards of having to book an appointment etc. She's located at Yishun, super near YJC. The address will be stated on the voucher, so no worries about that! & really really be assured of the quality because I'm really loving this nails that she designed for me! :)

If you haven't seen the preview photos that I've uploaded onto the Facebook page, here's a little preview for them! I'm really loving the photos that we took in USS!! Zoe & I were brainstorming on places to go for outdoor shoots, because we haven't had one despite shooting together for so so long (almost 1 year odd I think!!). & since USS is sheltered at some places (which is super important since the weather's been really crazy for the past few weeks), and I could get free tickets, we decided to head there with Jing & Shine!





Cover pic that I did up for myself! & if you look closely enough, you'd have seen me in the background, HAHAHA! It was dem hilarious that I couldn't stop laughing at it whenever I see it!

In the cover is the Contrast Trimmings Chiffon Blouse, that comes in Emerald Green, Red, Cream and Purple! Emerald Green is darker IRL, will post a closer pic of the color during the launch! New color on our color palette :)

Blouse does not come with any inner tube or spag tops, but will be priced really affordably! Besides, I think most people will have basic tube tops and spags already right? :)


My darling baby in Emerald Green! :)


Shine in Nude! And yes we'll be launching the skirt in the next collection next week.


Jing in Red!

Another casual top we have here is the Shoulder Gathers Button Up Top that comes in Happy Mustard, Emerald Green (told you it's a new color haha! I just love it so much!), Navy blue and Sweet Pink! Uber love all the colors!



Zoe in Happy Mustard!


Spotted the Kungfu Panda and ordered them to queue to take photo with it haha! It's so cute lor!! & I'm so sad I didn't get to take photos with any of the mascots.


Shine in Navy! Love the piao piao hair here teehee!


Zoe in her fav pink!

Last but not least, my favourite among the lot is this Side Ruffles Racerback Top, comes in beige, forest, navy and grey. The material is super comfy (same one as the scallops dress, skater dress and raglan tops), and there's even a tie-front ribbon at the front! So dainty and sweet looking, and have you spotted another new color here?











So cute, loving this picture. Models are wearing forest green and navy respectively.


Paired the grey with our MNG Jeggings in Blue which we still have a few left!

You might be wondering where was I the whole time, haha! I was the nanny that day, passing them accessories, adjusting their clothes for them, throwing shoes to them, picking out the outfits for them to change into, refilling water and making sure they are all hydrated.

Here's a picture of nanny Est.



We rented the double stroller from USS and it was one of the best decisions made! We just had to dump everything onto it and push it to where ever we wanted to go. FYI, that bagpack I'm carrying is loaded with JUST accessories, HAHA!


& because they kept laughing at me pushing the stroller like some aunty, this Zoe wanted WH to shoot me with the trolley. & I dragged her into the photo when she's chewing on food, which explains why she's covering her mouth hahaha silly girl!


A proper one!


& the two decided to join in and bully me as well. The stroller doesn't look THAT BAD what!!


Back view taken by Shine, I see that you have the potential to become our photog too hor? HAHA.

Okay this is one super long post!! Hope you girls love what we have in store for you, and remember, fastest fingers first!!
