Posh Nails Magallanes

After all the last minute shopping for gifts, meeting up with friends and family reunions that I did last December, it was really such a treat for me to experience the pampering treatment at Posh Nails Hand & Foot Spa - Magallanes

When I entered the spa, I immediately felt relaxed for it was painted in soothing shades of of white, pink and lilac. The place looks so feminine and comfortable, especially with its soft couches and plush pillows.  The chandelier at the center of the room also gave the room an added touch of fancy.

I just love the quatrefoil pattern on the divider - certainly added to the chicness.

"Posh Nails Magallanes offers ultra luxurious pampering packages for both hands and feet. Among the most in-demand services include the hand spa, hand and arm scrub, foot scrub, foot and leg mask, foot spa, reflexology, Posh spoiling, Basic Refresh, Green Tea pedicure, Coffee pedicure, eyelash extension, Paraffin dip, nail art and waxing.

Posh Nails is the first spa chain in the Philippines to offer themed manicures and pedicures such as Green Tea, Coffee, Chocolate lovers, Margarita, Cremee Brulee and Citrus. Themed manicures and pedicures differ for each month to keep clients excited and up to date with nail salon services all across the globe. Posh Nails Magallanes also offers cocktail drinks, coffee, tea, hot cocoa along with the themed service."

The first thing I noticed as soon as I took me seat on the couch, was how immaculately clean the place was.  My attendant made sure to sanitize her hands before she started my treatment.  She said that all the instruments were sterilized with a disinfectant after every use.   She also shared that should you have the desire for instant pampering, and finding yourself dressed inappropriately (read: skinny jeans), Posh Nails Magallanes also offers the use of shorts and robes so you can avail of their services comfortably. The staff of Posh Nails Magallanes are very friendly and well-trained.  My attendant made my experience even more comfortable by offering a robe and drinks.  

After washing and soaking my feet for a few minutes, my attendant rubbed a mixture which looked and felt like a brown sugar scrub.

 

Once it was all washed off, she began to apply this peppermint mask.  

 

I had the hand and nail treatment, so I felt like a princess for close to an hour.  Thanks so much Posh Nails Magallanes for this luxurious treat!

J's 11th {A Pampering Party}

Fo J's 11th birthday, she requested for a spa-themed party.  You know that I do not indulge in spa treatments, so looking for a suitable (read: clean interiors, good quality of service and affordable rates) nail spa proved to be quite tricky as I had no idea where to start looking.

As my days are quite hectic, I just decided to look up a list at spot.ph.  I made a few calls among the nail spas on their list, and Posh Nails seemd to be just perfect for J's party.  I made reservations at Posh Nails along Connecticut st. in Greenhills.  For 2 hours, J and her friends had the entire spa all to themselves.  

My girls and I managed a quick photo-op before the guests started arriving.

The guest soon came one after the other, and everyone was treated to an hour of foot soak and cleaning, foot massage and pedicure, too!

The customary group shot

B had herself a good time, too!  She invited a few of her friends... and together, the young girls kept on giggling and chatting.

 

Initially, I thought of bringing the girls to a restaurant for some after-spa snacks, but since I booked the spa for an exclusive event, the management was gracious enough to offer to set up a buffet table at the reception area.  Here is J taking charge of decorating her buffet spread:

Brie and I helped a little, too...

...to bring the reception area from this...

 .....to this!

I designed her invite, cupcake toppers, birthday banner and other party labels using photoshop and some graphics I just grabbed from the internet.  

 

To ensure that we do not leave the spa too messy, I served finger foods.  Chips and cookies to munch on while having their nail spa.  For the snacks proper, I ordered a 36-inch pizza from Big Guys Pizza and several boxes of Chicken Charlie.   As is our custom, the birthday cake is from Estrel's.  

 

My friend, Meng, is a heaven sent as she made the best-tasting cupcakes, which were a nice and perfect addition to J's yummy spread. I just added my own cupcake toppers which I hastily made on the day itself.  Just look at those beautiful cupcake towers!

And of course, I also served my Chocolate Chip Cookies!  I always get compliments whenever I make this, and J's friends are ALWAYS craving for this and begging for more.  And I am not one to disspoint, so...

The birthday girl blowin' the candles on her cake

I am very happy with how Posh Nails Greenhills handled our event.  I definitely recommend them to anyone planning for a spa-themed birthday party.  Thanks to Ms. Kelly for coordinating! 

J was very happy with how everything turned out.  She just loved the experience of gathering all her good friends in one place and having lots of girly fun with them.  She enjoyed taking on a more active role in decorating the place and of course, in the hands-on practice of how to become a good party host.  At the end of the party, she commented how tiring it was to move from one group of friends to the next, but that the compliments and the smiles on her friends' faces were more than enough to wipe the weariness away!

Let me end with a shot of the girls' colorful pedis!
