Hello hello Nailista’s very expensive!

Today I show you a small manicure full of pep and good humor, history of being in the tone of this lovely sunshine and tap on my screen!

Home, which says neon pep said, especially now! A few months ago it was inconceivable for me to wear such colors, even less on the nails. I am by nature rather discreet and sober, and even if I allow myself bright colors on the nails, I was not really ready to get through the neon. And then gradually my eyes and my tastes have gotten used to, and now I swear by it! Even as a total look, while the nail on it do not ask me no problem on the contrary, I love ) . It is safe nails with neon, it is better to play it low-makeup and clothing, but we can afford some quirks still no? What do you think? Especially that now it is super trendy, Rihanna Lady Gaga, they have all passed, so why not us?

So when I saw the first video, and especially the launch video of the new collection Orly Feel The Vibes , I hit the roof. Necessarily. Flashy colors, a pretty white polish that does not Tippex, a darker varnish to balance it all … Anyway, the six were directly found a warm place in my heart of nail polish addict ) . These are the four flashy colors so I just present to you today, just so you can get an idea of what they have in them. Who knows, maybe the most reluctant of you will come to find it pretty? To make the neon more accessible and less “aggressive”, I chose to make a small nail art super simple to make …. Here’s what it gives:

So I chose to ask these fluorescent white polish on the collection, they are slightly jelly! This is how they appear best and they show their entire flashytude

To make this extremely simple nail art, just as you take your favorite polish, by the collection Feel the Vibes , and a tool for peas. For my part, I use what is called a doting tool , but you can absolutely choose to use a pin head, a hair clip, a small nail, ballpoint pen, etc. …

Once you have found your favorite tool, you put a drop of varnish on a plastic surface (avoid paper that drinks your varnish solvents ) ) And you lightly dip the tip of your doting tool inside. Then, for your peas are regular, start by asking those at the end, then the middle, etc. …

So what do you think? You’re tempted by the neon? You dare? Indulge yourself in the heyday used to it girls! )

I wish you a lovely day and see you soon for new ideas for colorful manicures!

¤Filing BEFORE removing polish will help prevent splitting.
¤ Using cotton pads (instead of balls) will minimize the fuzz that stays on your nails. No more messy manicures.
¤ If you smudge your nail polish, moisten your finger with your tongue and lightly rub over the smudge and it should go away.

¤ When soaking your hands for a manicure add a little salt to the water. This will help eliminate water wrinkles on your fingers.
¤ For really dry cuticles soak hands for about two minutes in olive oil. Then with a small circular motion rub the oil in the nail bed.
¤ To avoid bubbly nail polish on your nails, try applying thin coats and allowing each coat to dry before putting on the next. Continue reading »

When you’re doing a manicure, don’t cut your cuticles (they grow back thicker), instead gently push them back when they are softened. Also, don’t use a razor to shave your heels when you get a pedicure (same problem..grows thicker), instead soak well and use a pumice.

Moving the nail file back and forth will make your nails split. It’s better to just hold the nail file at an angle and then file in one direction, starting from the left corner going to the center, and then the right corner going to the center. Using short strokes also prevents you from filing away too much.

A manicure is a beauty treatment which involves soaking the hands in softening substances and massaging the hands while filing, shaping and polishing the nails.

DO

1. Protect your nails from getting polish stains by applying a thin layer of clear base coat. This will also help your polish last longer and help you avoid a streaky finish.

2. Gently roll the nail polish in your palms to distribute color before slicking on a coat.

3. A pedicure is similar to a manicure but works to improve the appearance of the feet.

4. “There are some germs that hide in the nail plate which simple washing many times may not get rid of, especially with long nails.

DON’T:

1. Never soak dehydrated natural nails in water or have a water-based manicure! Instead, ask for a hot oil based manicure.
2. Never cut your cuticles, or allow someone to. It is okay to remove a dead tag of skin, but cutting live tissue is simply not recommended.
3. Don’t overbuff the natural nail! Buffing of the nails can be done about once a month, provided that a very fine buffer is used.
4. Never, ever rip or pull nail enhancements off, as this will be very damaging to the natural nail. If you no longer wish to have them, ask your nail professional to remove them the correct way.

Skincare of a beauty female feet

Painted fingernails and toenails often catch the eyes of anyone around. Pretty nails, whether on hands or feet, look great for any romantic, formal, or casual occasion. If your nails are chipped and in need of a new manicure, you should take the time to apply at least a single coat of nail polish to dress up your fingertips. Your manicure or lack thereof may be a crucial factor in a job interview or on a first date. Show that you care enough to try by sporting pretty nails wherever you go.

Soak hands and nails in warm water mixed with olive oil to soften and moisturize cuticles.

Gently push back your cuticles using either a wooden popsicle stick or use a stone cuticle pusher.

File your nails with a fine file and always file in one direction. Using a coarse nail file, or sawing back and forth makes your nails more prone to breakage.

There are many ways of making your nails look awesome. You can use colors, manicure as well as certain natural remedies for your nails’ beauty.

I can apply nail polish, and when I shower the next day I can scrub off any nail polish on my cuticles and skin.

Chipping polish has been a problem since the beginning of polish wear.

Nails are flexible and  when they bend, the inflexible paint on then cracks and peels away.  

It is very similar to the paint on a house… As the house is exposed to the elements and the wood or shingles expand and contract with the moisture in the air…. The paint on the house cracks and peels.

Hands and nails are in water several times a day.  Your natural nail is porous and becomes swollen and soft when allowed to remain in contact with water.  This allows the polish to “let go” of the nail.  That is why housewives and swimmers have the toughest time with polish wear-ability.

Here are some tips to increase your polish wear-ability. Continue reading »

  •  Make sure you have a very clean nail plate before applying polish. The natural oils on your nail, lotion or a piece of cotton fiber will make the polish peel. I like to strip the nails by swabbing them with Sea Breeze or nail polish remover.
  • Always use a base coat and top coat. It’s sometimes tempting to skip them if you’re in a hurry. But remember, it’s not worth it if your polish chips faster. The base coat acts as a foundation for your manicure, and the top coat is a protectant for your polish.
  • Let each coat dry for a couple of minutes before applying another. This allows the polish to set so the next layer adheres better.
  • Wear gloves whenever you do a job in water or dirt: dishes, cleaning, gardening.
  • Try not to use your nails as tools. Concentrate on using the pads of your fingers and not the tips of your fingers when you reach, grab, hold and type.

When deciding what type of toe and fingernails designs you will choose, you have quite many options and French manicure designs are one of them. You can choose Solar manicure, common French manicure, Konad stamping art, or you can decide to use designs on your French manicure, which will diversify you the common French manicure. Not many women know that French manicure does not always need to be only done with just pink and white color, while you can make different French manicure designs with versatile lacquer shades.

While this year’s makeup shades boast a full-on color revolution, boldly polished nails returned long before the beginning of the new millennium. Chanel’s deep, sultry Vamp, Hard Candy’s sweet pastels, and Max Factor’s modern metallics have taken nail color from accepted to expected. For Summer 2000, bright nail color is unabashedly in season. Instead of one “chosen” palette, a retro rainbow of choices exists, from yellow to lilac to bronze.

“Nail color is treated more like makeup now — women are switching shades daily, instead of waiting for a weekly manicure,” notes Max Factor’s Oscar-winning makeup artist Michele Burke. “Polishes and removers are so much gentler today, it’s no longer damaging to change shades frequently.” In the summer, feet are more exposed than ever, demanding extra maintenance, touch-ups and wardrobe coordination.

Believe it or not, people have been manicuring their nails for more than 4,000 years. In southern Babylonia, noblemen used solid gold tools to give themselves manicures and pedicures. The use of fingernail polish can be traced back even further. Originating in China in 3,000 BC, nail color indicated one’s social status — according to a Ming dynasty manuscript, royal fingernails were painted black and red. The Egyptians also colored their nails, using red to show the highest social class. It is said that Cleopatra’s nails were painted a deep red, whereas Queen Nefertiti went with a flashier ruby shade. In ancient Egypt and Rome, military commanders also painted their nails to match their lips before they went off to battle. Continue reading »

Always treat your nails as if you’ve just had them polished. Instead of using your nails for the daily exercise of scraping, picking, pulling and opening, use the pads of your fingertips. Along with preventing splitting, chipping and breaking, this will make your hands look more elegant. When cleaning the house and doing the dishes, be sure to wear gloves; prolonged exposure to water can cause nail damage because it will dry out your skin and nails. Tips to prevent nail polish chipping: reapply the top coat regularly, even daily, and try to avoid using fast-drying polishes that don’t last as long as regular nail polishes.

Brittle Nails
Brittle nails can be caused by sun exposure, a poor diet or the prolonged use of commercial nail hardeners. Avoid the use of hardeners containing formaldehyde, which has a drying effect on nails, and try using a waterproof coating that seals moisture in the nail and repels water and dirt. Believe it or not, a waxy lip balm can be quite effective at softening nails.

Hangnails
Picking and biting your nails, exposure to detergents and chemicals or general nail neglect are all causes of hangnails. Use a sharp cuticle nipper to remove existing hangnails. (A dull, cheap cuticle nipper will not allow you to get at the hangnails and may create more damage.) To help prevent hangnails altogether, use massage cuticle oil, lotion or cream at least once a day. If your cuticles are a painful mess, apply moisturizer twice daily. Continue reading »

Are buffers safe? I love the smooth glossy look of buffed nails, but I’m afraid to weaken my nails.

Buffers won’t damage your nails if you buff properly. It’s a less-is-more type of activity: Be gentle and don’t do it more than once a week. There are some fantastic buffers now. In the old days you needed to use a cream then buff with a chamois. Today there are three- or four-sided buffers that will smooth ridges and add gloss when used in a step-by-step manner. Or the large black buffers you can pick up at beauty-supply stores are effective too. Continue reading »
