The Re-Birth

Most people assume that when they make an appointment to get their nails done, they have to get them long. That's not the case. About 10 yrs ago I had a client that came in with nails that looked atrocious. Really badly bitten and not much nail to do anything to. Seeing as I offer a warranty with the nails I do, it seemed fitting to VOID her warranty as I thought I knew that she would have them all gone in under a week. To my astonishment she returned for her 3 week fill with all 10 nails still in tact. It was just shy of a miracle. Point of this story is that not all artificial nails are damaging. In fact some of us help the victims of improper nail care. Below is a before and after photo. The before is the result of a picker/biter with NO nails on. The after is what a short overlay can do in order to help her grow out her own natural nails. It can be done!!!

Polish Collection 2012

I was seeing a lot of people showing their polish collections and I know I'M interested in seeing new colors so........... A lot of my clients can't believe the amount of polish's I posses so add the two together & here we are.  Now this photo is not to brag @ the amount that I have it is specifically to show potential clients or anyone else that is interested, the options they have to choose from here. It's mostly color co-ordinated as you can see there are some collections I left together like the neon's & the glitter's. There is Sheer's for French looks, there are Magnetic polishes, 12 different Crackle/Shatter effects including Chrome, Holographic, Matte, the list goes on. Soooo when are you coming in for a visit?

Not so Valentine's Day nails.

My client brought me a pic of a similar design, however the pic had a cow french. So I decided to eliminate the cow idea (I think it's safe to say that we are all trying to stay away from any unflattering animal print even if it's only on the nails) & just do polka dots. We used a gray instead of white because I find the white doesn't stay white for very long. Then we did an angle two tone instead of a french. I quite like how it turned out. This could look really neat in a variety of different colors. (& of course some rhinestones &/or glitter.)

New shades.

*NEW* I have picked up 7 new shades to add to the collection. I thought that was exciting....... then I hear that there is a new collection coming out next month of which includes a chrome?! WHAT?!?!? I'm so exited! There is so much that can be done with a silver........& now in a shellac.
