Opening the Nail Files...

This past friday, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the vivacious star of the new TV Guide Channel series 'Nail Files', Katie Cazorla!  She was here in Las Vegas with her mobile manicure truck, which was spreading nail polished tips across the nation! I have to say, she is a total doll. She is every bit as silly and bubbly as she comes across on the show, she's hilarious, fabulous, and as I described her, a total firecracker. Below you'll get to read our conversation, and see a little bit of what she's like!

In honor of meeting Ms. Nail Files herself, I knew I HAD to do special nail art for the occasion. I wish I had her reaction, because it was awesome. It completely made my day to see how stoked she was about the manicure (especially the Katie nail!!). :) I love it!

One sad thing about this manicure is that, while at work that night, I fell and broke THREE nails on my left hand (including the Katie nail!!) :( I was SO bummed, but glad that Katie got to see it before it was ruined.







Watch Katie and her crew Tuesday nights at 10/9c on the TV Guide channel! Check your local listings, or set your DVR! You won't want to miss it! (especially Episodes 3 & 5 according to Katie!)





TDN: You’re from a small town in New York, what made you move to the West Coast?

KC: Ok, so I love that question actually. I went to college for a couple years and found out that it wasn’t really my thing, and throughout college I was telling jokes at little bars, and always making my friends laugh and an agent saw me and was like “You’re funny, you should be a comic.” So she took me to LA, I ended up having a blast, and stayed. Um, unfortunately, I had no place to live, so I was kind of like one of those people that live out of my car for a couple of months until I found a place, and I was doing stand-up comedy for almost 10 years. After the 10th year, I was like ‘This is ridiculous, I need to get a life, I’m almost 30, I am gonna be eating Top Ramen until I’m 50 years old, so I had this crazy premonition and dream about my business and I drew it out and decided to really go for it.


Free mini-manicures on the Nail Files truck!
TDN: I also am from the other side of the country, from Michigan, and made the move to the west. Did you know anybody?

KC: No, I actually did not know anybody at all.

TDN: Was it terrifying for you?

KC: You know, not really, because i was 20, and I think I was kind of stupid, and thought it was going to be so much easier than it really was. So I was kind of, I guess I would like to say naive to the way LA works, and how you think you’re just going to go out there and make it, because it’s not like that. You don’t just move out there, I mean, one in a gazillion chance of that ever happening, and less of a chance for someone to move out there like ‘I’m going to get my own show, and I’m a nobody’, but it’s kind of like that’s what happened.

TDN: I have to comment on Jessica, I have no idea how you didn’t punch her.

KC: Oh my God, everyone is saying that , I think its just that Jessica is nice. The problem is is Jessica did everything wrong from what I really wanted, and I had to pay for all of that stuff. So, unfortunately, I wasn’t happy, and it was probably pretty apparent by my crying. But everyone is just like “God, she’s such a crybaby,” but that cost me $2,000, it’s so expensive, and they didn’t show all the other other stuff, the big banners and signage, and to have the main displays messed up was really a problem for me. So, you know, it ended up being kind of a problem, and unfortunately, we probably aren’t friends anymore after that episode.

TDN: Was she really laughing inappropriately when you were in a state of duress?

KC: Yes, she really was laughing like that. I think it was more of a nervous laughter, but it just didn’t come off that way, and I feel bad that she came out like that, but it is what it is, what can you do?


TDN: So, one of my downfalls, I’ll admit it every time, I love to do the nail art stuff, but I suck at nail care. What is one of your best nail care tips?

KC: Really? Ok, well here. Number one, I think you should ALWAYS use cuticle oil. You have to, because here’s the thing, even if you don’t get your cuticles nipped all the time, which, I don’t nip my own, I don’t get them nipped. I think that actually leads on my personal body to more cuticle growth than what I want, so I just kind of push them back and buff off the extra, and if there is obviously like a hangnail or something, I’ll nip that off. But cuticle oil is my best friend, I use it everywhere, hands, elbows, little dry spots, whatever. I absolutely love it.

You know what I just discovered? This product called ‘Get Fresh’ based out of Santa Monica. Oh my God, their lemongrass foot products... I want to eat. They sent me their lemongrass pedicure kit, so now we do the lemongrass pedicure in my store. Amazing, and they have a heel balm, and all these fun products you can use to do upkeep at home.

TDN: What are your thoughts on nail art? (this was a question I had planned to ask, but it got answered in the middle of a conversation about my blog...after I mentioned the huge response from Brazilian women, and their love of all nail art in general)

KC: I love nail art, and people who don’t like nail art are just not my friend. They can’t be, it’s not fair.


The contents of my goodie bag! :) Click to enlarge!
TDN: Because it’s fun! Yes, it can go into the tacky range, but it’s mostly fun. 

KC: Oh, ok, here’s where it gets tacky. When somebody’s nail is really long and it curves like a corn chip nail tip and it’s got someone’s name on it, and it’s pierced with a charm. (we both said the last part at the very same time) You get me...we speak the same nail language.

You know what’s really annoying, is when people say, “Oh, you’re not a real nail tech because you didn’t graduate from nail school” and I’m like, But I went to nail school, I just didn’t graduate because I found my salon in time and it was like ‘Oh my God, I have to get this before somebody else does.’ and I’m sorry , I want this space, it’s my dream space.” Plain and simple.

TDN: Right, when opportunity knocks, you can’t let anything stand in your way. You can always finish nail school, but that space might not be there tomorrow.

KC: I can always finish when I want, because I have hours that don’t expire. I think I have two hundred and some hours. Gosh, that’s a lot. I only need like 180 more hours or 200. I have finished almost half, but it’s 3 1/2 months, it’s a commitment, every single day, all day long.

TDN: But you’re one of those people that don’t go to college and still become insanely successful.

KC: Jet Blue guy, didn’t he drop out of college? (I looked it up...yes, he did, from University of Utah after 3 years). The Microsoft guy (Bill Gates), he dropped out of Harvard. Hello, one of the richest men in the world. (my words: bazillionaire!!) You know what, so eff you college, I don’t need you. I don’t need you today, or any other day!

TDN: Your nail pet peeve. We’ve already discussed corn chip nails, but do you have any other ones?

KC: Oh my God. You know what else I don’t like? Long, French manicured toes.

TDN: I read your interview with Michelle of All Lacquered Up, and actually cheered when I saw that.

KC: She said the same thing. It’s so gross!

TDN: It’s the worst. You see it a lot here in Las Vegas, it’s everywhere.

KC: It’s because there are so many strippers, and they love French manicured toes. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it’s just not the look I’m going for. (me: It just doesn’t look classy) I don’t think I’ve ever seen a classy stripper, but if I did, she wouldn’t have French manicured toes.

TDN: So on your first episode, Debbie Gibson came in, and you said that you have to treat celebrities like everybody else, even when on the inside you’re really squealing.

KC: I know, I totally wanted to sing Electric Youth. It was hard for me because I was like ‘Oh my God, Debbie Gibson is in here,’ and I was totally like a mall rat crazy person fan of hers and I needed to hold it together and be a normal person. She looked ridiculously amazing. She’s the type of woman that could grocery shop in a thong, and it’d probably be ok. She’s awesome.


Katie's funny hand sanitizer. Click to enlarge.
TDN: On that note, if anybody were to walk through the doors of your store, and you would absolutely lose it and go all fan-girl, who would it be?

KC: I’d love to give Ryan Reynolds a manicure.

TDN: I’d love to give Ryan Reynolds more than a manicure! (Aaron, one of the promoters commented that I was a dirty bird...oops! :-D What can I say, he’s adorable, funny, and sarcastic...need I list more?)

KC: I know, he’s hilarious, and so cute. I love it. I think that would be my number one, he’s a doll. It has to be a guy...but if it were a woman, it’d have to be Barbra Streisand, because she has the most insanely gorgeous nails I’ve ever seen in my life. They’re beautiful, and I want her to wear my polish. (Get some sparkle on her.) Yes. I want sparkle on Barbra.

TDN: So you’ve got a lovely rock on your finger, I know there is no date set for a wedding, but what color do you plan to wear for your wedding?

KC: I really don’t see myself having a wedding, if I did, it’s going to be glitter, I’m not going to do anything traditional, I’m such a non-traditional person. (What, so no french manicure?) No, maybe I’ll do a picture of Walter on my nail.

TDN: So, you’ve conquered the nail world, you’re conquering the TV world, what’s next?

So Katie did confess what she's up to next, but she also said it was kind of a secret!  Until she gives me the go-ahead to share it with you, you'll just have to eagerly wait!  It's definitely something fun!


Katie & I in front of the manicure truck - it was over 100° outside!! SO HOT!



What'd I use?

I used American Apparel Cotton as a base for all nails...

Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

QWeekly - My birthday wishes are noble.. Lol.

Guess.


It's my hair lah.


I quote Jacqueline, after she touched my hair, "Omg, like pubic hair" =.= Lolol.


I grab a small bunch of hair, but it won't settle. It's like a furball or something. Lol. Pong Pong one.


The ends are the worst.


They shamelessly keep saying hi and want to appear more on my blog. Lol.


Pull out shot.



My birthday is gonna happen on Tuesday 28th, I think one can make as many birthday wishes as possible, lol, so if one super good one doesn't come true, some other will.


So i'm looking for a new hair-salon services sponsor.


And the location of the salon gotta be..


Along purple line!!!


The main reason i hardly visit Artica (and they have agreed to my request to stop the sponsorship) is becox it's on the red line! And here's the travel log for the laziest person on earth if i visit them.


- you can skip it, it's lame. Lol -


Get out of the house - Difficulty level 10/10
Take the lift down - Difficulty level 1/10
Walk to LRT station - Difficulty level 3 if weather not hot, 5 if hot
Climb up stairs to LRT platform - Difficulty level 3/10
Wait for LRT - Difficulty level 1/10
Take LRT to MRT station - Difficulty level 1/10
Walk from LRT platform to MRT - Difficulty level 2/10
24 mins trip to Dohby Ghout from Punggol - Difficulty level 3/10
Walk from Dohby Ghout to Red Line - Difficulty level 3/10
Wait for red line MRT - Difficulty level 2
Walk from Orchard MRT to FEP - Difficulty level 3 or 5


So.. Every little part that takes me away from my bed, my computer chair, my house, i also super geh gao one. Lolol!


And to cut my travel by half, which will in turn make me more motivated to treat my hair, i've decided to look for sponsorship only along the purple line.


To work out the rest, email me qiutinger@gmail.com Thank you!!!


So my birthday wishes revolves around looking slightly better. Lol. Like better hair for one. Better skin (already happening cox Adonis is freaking near me!!! =DD) and maybe a chioer pair of eyes, smaller nose, less saggy butts and less cellulite on thighs. Thank you.


And my wishes are all to look better becox like this people see me also good mood. So it's all for you. Lol.
I'm tired, it's 5am when i type this. Night! ^.^ Show you lotsa pictures soon!!!

Ad: Who is your favourite Candydate? ^.^

*** QWeekly update below this post! Do remember to vote and stand a chance to win! THEN, read QWeekly ^.^ ***


*gasps* WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!? =OOO


Why are all the happy colours separated from each other?! All the colours should be united and mixed around harmoniously in bags of happiness! Right?!


Typically YES. But NOT for now! Cox there's a election going on!


It's an election to


VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE CANDYDATE!!!


Vote and stand a chance to win USD1,000 worth of e-shopping vouchers from M&M’s World!


EXCITED TO VOTE NOW?! Wait!!!


Know more about the candydates first then decide which is YOUR favourite! ^.^


Before we get to know them more, do you already have a favourite?!


I used to love the green one most but that's before blue came out. I know there isn't any flavour difference to the M&Ms based on colour BUT BUT BUT, what colour we like says a lot about our characters and personalities okay.


I first liked green the most, only cox it's very rare. Lol. In every packet, there just seemed to be more brown, red, orange and yellow than green. So my sisters and i would always fight to get the green one. Haha. Fun!!! Sometimes we'd trade two unwanted colours for one green. LOL. Omg, suddenly a bit ashamed of my own past. Why i so childish one?! Haha! ^.^


And all that, is before BLUE was introduced! Then of course, as shallow as i am, newer is better. So blue became the favourite M&M's colour =DDD


See this short video clip!


Now then i realise, each M&Ms colour has their own personalities!!! NOW THIS IS HEADACHE! What if i LOVE the colour but dislike the personality?!


What if i LOVE the personality but dislike the colour?!


It's almost like choosing bf/ gf!!! Inner-beauty or outer-beauty!!! Brains or beauty?! Smart or pretty?! I don't know! Let's see shall we!


RED is a strong, independent character who seeks attention because he knows he deserves it. He is bold in his choices and cheeky in his actions, choosing to do things the more mischievous way.
 
Do you like him?!


"Hey dude, look here! Obvious choice, duh?"


If you're the VAVAVOOM and LOUD and CAREFREE and ATTENTION-SEEKING kind of person, RED is just for you!!! ^.^


"Get some red M&Ms and vote for us!"

* Vote for RED HERE *


BLUE is confident and cool, with nothing to prove because nothing anybody else says really matters. He is good in a dilemma as he is not easily panicked. He knows his priorities and keeps a straight head whenever decisions need to be made.



"Chill, yo. Let's just enjoy this.. Ya like Jazz music?"


"Ya know, honestly, i don't care if i win or lose. I mean.. Look at me, i'm balancing on one finger. Not tryna impress you but seriously, vote for the cool yo"


"No pressure, dude.."


"But be cool, vote blue." Lolol. Cool people do rhyme their words, don't they?!
I'm bad with cool!
 * Vote for BLUE HERE *


ORANGE believes in “better safe than sorry.” He is cautious to the point that he comes off as paranoid and scared. He is jittery and looks over his shoulder a lot as he likes to avoid trouble whenever possible.
 
Neurotic human in picture: I think somebody might be following me..
Jittery orange M&M in picture: Don't drop me pleaseeeee..... I'm sooooo scared~


Nail-biting.. typical. Hahaha.


Orange is paranoid and easily suspicious of things.


"But would you take some of these Orange candies and vote for us?! I double, triple checked, with the professionals, these are all certified yummy and taste like the feeling of WIN!"
* Vote for ORANGE HERE *


GREEN is the only girl in the line-up, she is seductive and feminine. She is sultry and knows she is desirable, so she takes advantage of that. She is charming and knows the way to a person’s heart!
 
"Vote for us pretty girls, pretty please?"


"Yeah i love these long white boots. Your hair looks great on you."


"Hey Sugar, you know it in your heart.. Deep, deep down in your heart.. That going GREEN, is the new black.. *blow kiss*


So take some greens? Yummiest green-beans ever, promise *flutters eyelash*
* Vote for GREEN HERE *




YELLOW is a character who although adorable, can be rather naïve. Of course, this is why people adore him. His simple ways and gullible nature makes him easy to approach and relate to.
 


Right Yellow M&M: I think people like us cox we're.. Not so smart?




Left Yellow M&M: It doesn't matter why they vote us! We just have to work hard for the votes! See, i made the best signage in the world to garner votes here!


Right Yellow M&M: Yeah it looks great! It says.. "Moll........." Never mind, i'm sure it's great!


Left Yellow M&M: Yeah! ^.^


Right Yellow M&M: We're like the best! ^.^


"So would you like some Yellow? Don't believe rumor from people trying to ruin our reputation. They say Yellow Yellow, Dirty Fellows. We're still a little upset about that!"
* Vote for YELLOW HERE *


Now you know the characters of all the candydates! It's time to vote to stand a chance to win the USD1,000 worth of e-shopping vouchers from M&M’s World!!!

Green and blue are my lucky colour but i really am not cool and chill so blue is out =(


Now we have green. She's just soooooo feminine i can't catch up with the sensuality! Lol.


And then i'm left with Red and Yellow! Of which i think my character is more of red but my inner-inner-innerest-most personality is Yellow.. LOLOL.


Yah lah, i am also saying i'm innocent and nice and approachable which is in many sense, TRUE. Lolol.


Also, it's really hard to choose between red and yellow becox whichever i choose, i'd display the picture again. And both set of pictures are so chio. LOL.. Oooh, the self-secured RED in me..
