Manicure And Pedicure For the Mom To Be

The Daddy To Be came in to the Salon and purchased a Gift Certificate for his wife for their first Wedding Anniversary.  In four weeks they will be welcoming their first child. On the Mommy To Be's nails we used Zoya Nail Lacquer as it contains NO formaldahyde our Toulene.  Perfectly safe nail polish for Expectant Mothers.  The shade we used was Sofia.

On her toes we created something special for her delivery.  Pale Gold Zoya Nail Polish as Zebra Stripes over Zoya's Sofia nail polish.

Glowing Jack-o-lantern Tips

Little Jack-o-lantern faces glow on top of Black/Silver glitter Acrylic tips.  Something fun for Halloween!

Natural Looking Acrylic Overlays

Natural Looking Nail Enhancements.  I use a pink acrylic that compliments your skin tone and apply a thin layer of acrylic.  They grow out nice and look great.  Full Set $50.  Fill $33.

Halloween Time!!!

Almost mid October.  Are you dressing up? Have you picked your costume? Nails make the perfect accessory!  Colored acrylic tips are fun!  Pick a color and let your alter-ego express herself.  As one of my clients put it, "It's only a two week commitment."  Colored acrylic are $40 for a fill and $60 for a full set.

The spooky nail art is an additional charge.  But each nail art creation is one of a kind.

Have fun being creative, carving pumpkins, dressing up and candy tasting.  Whatever you choose to do have a safe and Happy Halloween.

Do You See What I See?

Do You See What I See?

I see shredded cuticles.  I see dry hands that if not treated will crack with the lovely change in weather.  I see a stressed nail biter.  I see nails picked or bit, so bad that the finger tips are sore.  I see these hands getting much worse if a plan of action does not take place.

What is the plan?

Manicure, pronto!

A Manicure will help address a few of the above mentioned sightings.  Filing the rough edges will help the appearance of the nails.  Soaking the finger tips in a warm bath will help moisturize and soften the cuticles so that they can be pushed back and dead tissue trimmed off. 

A hand massage with Pure Fiji or Epicuren's After Bath Moisturizer will be a beneficial addition.  A dip in Paraffin would be another treatment that would help these hands.  The heated Paraffin wax when applied over lotion helps seal in some moisture.

This manicure will be finished up with Qtica's Natural Nail Growth Stimulator.

Now the experiment...

The Client will be advised to follow the following regimen.

Use Qtica's Natural Nail Growth Stimulator. Apply one coat daily.

Nourish the cuticle area with Qtica's Solid Gold daily or as needed.

To help maintain moisture in dryed out hands use a rich hand cream or lotion.  Apply before you go to bed.  You and your hands need their Beauty Sleep!

Three simple things daily will have those hands looking better in no time.  Well, maybe a week or two.  Look for the next post in a week and then another in two.  Manicures can be performed on hands with acrylic enhancements.

Manicure $25       Spa Manicure $30           Paraffin Hands $10
