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

Cuticle Care

The definition of cuticle is the nonliving epidermis that surrounds the edges of the fingernail or toenail. One of the most common complaints a client has is their cuticles.  "They are dry." "My cuticles are a mess." "They split. They are peeling."  Whatever the complaint, Qtica has formulated a wonderful product to tend to your cuticles.

It's not the average cuticle oil.  Qtica Solid Gold is a gel oil made up of a blend of 12 special oils. In addition to it's conditioning and moisturizing properties it also contains an antibacterial agent that kills bacteria around the cuticle area. The precious cuticle oil blend is housed in a spill proof applicator.  The citrus scent is energizing and clean.

You can purchase a tube of this amazing cuticle gel at Nail Designs by Jamie for $11.00.  It is well worth the investment.  A little bit goes a long way.  Cuticle gel makes your nails and toes picture perfect and freshens up any manicure or pedicure days after.
