BEAUTY Perfect Nails

By Helen Taylor

You might spend a lot of time and money buying-up and trying-out the latest skincare, hair care and cosmetic products, but do you pay as much attention to your nails?

It’s certainly easy to overlook your hands and nails, but you really shouldn’t, because they’re often as noticeable to new people as your face; after all, a handshake is the first introduction.

Un-manicured nails can really let the side down, especially when you’re otherwise well-groomed and neatly presented.

But there’s no denying that it’s hard to keep your nails in tiptop condition. Washing-up, cleaning, cooking, and all those other unavoidable daily chores pose a threat to nails, not to mention cold weather, regular hand washing and the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

Even so, it’s worth establishing a hand and nail care routine and then planning a time every couple of weeks when you can treat yourself to a visit to your local nail salon.

There’s more than one option though so we’ve taken an in-depth look at three of the most recent - and popular - nail services.

CND Shellac Nails

Shellac has definitely been one of the most popular nail services of recent years. Its simple application, smudge-proof finish and effective staying power have secured legions of loyal followers.

Applied much like a regular nail polish, Shellac only requires a few minutes of curing time under a special UV lamp between coats.

When you leave the salon your nail polish will be completely dry and you can enjoy chip-proof, glossy, lasting colour that stays looking great for at least 14 days. In fact, Shellac often stays looking so good that it only really needs to be removed when an obvious gap has emerged due to natural nail growth.

Semi Permanent

Make Up MAKE-UP Semi permanent make-up EYEBROWS BEFORE

BEFORE & AFTER Semi permanent make-upis a brow EYEBROWS and eye treatment that gives the is a brow and eye treatment appearance of smudge that gives the appearancefree of make-up all day, AFTER smudge free make-up all every day, day, lasting 2-4 years. It is suitable for every day, lasting 2-4 years.

It of all ages with clients or over plucked is suitable for clients of allsparse ages eyebrows or allergies to EYELINER BEFORE cosmetics. with sparse or over plucked EYELINER At Serenity we use the BEFORE & AFTER eyebrows or allergies to latest advanced techniques to provide the most cosmetics.

AFTER natural enhancements.

The procedure is both safe and medically latest approved.

It also offers the benefit of protecting your nails against breakage meaning you can keep the length much longer than you might usually be able to.

When you are ready to have the Shellac removed, a set of foils soaked in acetone are wrapped round your fingers, although some salons may speed the process by asking you to put your fingertips into a bowl of acetone. This soaking process takes about 10 minutes and then the old polish is gently scraped off and nails buffed to prepare for the new coat.

There is no ‘infill’ option – even if your polish still looks great, when it has grown out you’ll need to start again.

Shellac isn’t suitable for everyone though; if your nails are weak, brittle or splitting opting for a set of Shellac nails - or any artificial nail enhancement - isn’t the best option. Nails and nail beds need to be healthy before application.

Minx Nails

If it’s statement nails you’re after then Minx Nails are the perfect choice for you. Bringing fashion to your fingertips, Minx have been a favourite with celebrities everywhere since stepping into the spotlight a few years ago. Offering a vast choice of designs in show-stopping colours, patterns and prints, there’s no chance you’ll ever get bored when you choose a set of Minx nails.

Minx work on both natural and artificially enhanced nails.

Life’s too busy for boring workouts. 60 minutes of Pilates, yoga, and kickboxing moves will leave you sweating, smiling, and laughing!

This is the new jazzercise!

HEALTH & BEAUTY

JULY 14 • ISSUE 107

Before application nails are given a basic manicure. Minx is a solid film with an adhesive backing that is heat activated that’s why nails and Minx are heated before application begins. The heat allows Minx to take on the natural curve of the nail and bond to the surface effectively.

Whilst still underneath a special infrared lamp, the Minx is smoothed out and filed to fit with the nail. The process is very gentle on natural nails and with a waterproof seal, it means they won’t get damaged when you swim, bath, wash-up or do any other day-to-day tasks. The seal is only broken when they are removed. They’ll last around 14 days.

Removal is easy - the product is heated up, the seal is broken and the Minx is peeled off.

Long lasting Nail polish

You might wonder why anyone would still have traditional nail polish when Shellac and Minx last so much longer. There are several reasons. Firstly you might want a shade for a special occasion or to go with a particular outfit, without necessarily wanting to keep the same colour for weeks.

It’s quicker to put on normal polish and much quicker to take it off. This not only saves time, but will usually be a lower priced treatment or you can do it at home. Particularly for a pedicure, when normal polish will often last weeks anyway, this might be a better option.

And the choice of colours is much greater so you can get that perfect match if you need it.

Some of the new salon polishes dry very quickly too (such as CND’s Vinylux), so whilst it won’t be as instantly ‘set’ as Shellac or Minx, your finger and toenails will be complete dry and hard within a couple of hours.
