Nail Tools

Kupa Inc. makes electric nail files which are very powerful. The speed can be adjusted by a dial from slow to super fast and the direction switched from forward to backward.
They are best used by trained manicure professionals and only on acrylic or gel nails beyond the nail bed. Otherwise cuticles can be nicked or too much filing on the nail bed can damage it. (It's not easy to see how thin a nail is especially when there's acrylic dust flying around.)
Some salons won't even let their technicians use electric files because of the risks. Very good pros don't need to use them because appropriate application of gels, etc., greatly reduces the need for filing. Use of a regular nail file with optimal grit can save a lot of time and produce a perfect finish.

Clear Top Coat

After going to the trouble of getting a special manicure with art, you will want to protect it. Seche Vite is tough stuff! It must be one of the toughest top coats anywhere. In fact when it dries it has similar durability to nail gel! You can even file it the same way you can file gel. But it is beautifully self leveling, so no filing should be necessary.
Seche Vite gets much thicker with time (over a year), and can even get a bit "stringy" like old glue. Yet the price is fair and the plus side of the extra thickness with age is additional durability. If you usually apply one coat of Seche Vite for a standard manicure, apply two coats on a nail art manicure which is typically more difficult to "touch up" if it chips.

Nail art on one short French manicured nail. Many manicures with nail art are on long nails (more nail length gives you more canvas to paint on), and each nail has art affixed to or painted on it. But this photo of bridal nails shows you that could can wear nail art on short nails, and keep it simple with just one enhanced nail. Good place to start if you're new to nail art. You can experiment with one nail before you get a full set of decorated fingernails.



Round pink nail tips with a silver glitter line and small flower stickers. This type of line at the end of the nail bed is a popular alternative French Manicure style. It is also fairly easy to do yourself because you can do it freehand without a guide. Nail art stickers in a lot of nail art designs are applied to each nail but alternating fingernails looks fine, too.

Perfect French pedicure

Isn't it time you treated yourself to a spa visit that leaves you with immaculate toenails? This foot model has perfectly manicured toenails for a very healthy clean look. Her cuticles were professionally removed and beautifully rounded. Her toenails were painted with a soft light pink polish and modestly decorated with thin pretty white tips. It is a very simple style but it looks so nice. This new pedicure is a perfect summer beauty idea.

Q. Where can I find a nail art salon?

A. If you usually do your own nails, or get basic manicures in one block color, you may be surprised to know the vast majority of nail salons in America offer nail art. According to poll results in an industry magazine, in fact, nail technicians in 92.2% of salons can enhance your nails (Nails mag, March 2007). Call ahead or check nail salon websites to see if art is included in their list of available services. Be specific in your inquiries.

More specific survey results showed a wide range in the types of nail art available. Over 75% of salons say they can do mixed media, but only 15.7% of manicurists are skilled in free-hand airbrushing. That number drops in half if you want photos on your nails. Fortunately, though, 68.3% offer one of the most popular nail art looks: custom French manicures.

Latest Beauty Trends

Hopefully 2011 will be the year when black nails are toast. Enough of the Goth obsession already. It's been dragging on for years. Its durability has been surprising because it's neither very creative nor particularly feminine. Black is the perfect color for anyone who is extremely conservative and lacking in imagination; save it for Halloween. It's even dead in the fashion industry.

The fashionable color in new clothes as seen on the catwalks is white; so perhaps this will signal a shift away from black to white nail color. Emily Maynard on The Bachelor recently wore it. Partially white or French, however, appeals to more women. To be artistic as most visitors here are, one of the best ways to incorporate style trends is to combine the "in" colors. This is pretty easy to do with classic French manicures; just replace the tip color with what's in fashion. Or if you're more daring, change the bed hue, too.



Taking your total look to a new level, you can coordinate your nails with your clothes and even your hair. Rihanna now has dark red hair, and she wore a brown red polish. It is matte and virtually matching. How could you make it more fun? Add artistic details in gold or even a small and subtle amount of black. The key to great art is combining complementary colors; the most basic idea to make that happen is sticking within cool or warm color families.

Funk up with Nail Art

Fashion has taken a major twist; style is not ordinary or only extra ordinary anymore either. It is more about what catches the eye; it is about the wow in your style. Nails contribute to the look just as everything else does. From nail polish it is time to move on to something funkier like nail art.

Spicing up your look is what style is all about. Nail art can be done professionally too but here are some easy do yourself nail art pointers.

Get your material ready and sit down to style your hands with nail art. Give your nails a base coat. For nail art set your canvas the nail with a neutral color. After it has dried you are ready to let your creativity go wild. Use bold colors or patterns or tattoo designs. It is your nail! It is your nail art!

Once, your nail art has dried, paint your nail with a clear shine or acrylic. And keep repainting this coat every few days to keep your nail art looking fresh.

Tips to Avoid Severe Nail Problems

Tips to
Avoid Severe Nail Problems

While enjoying manicure and pedicure sessions, don’t forget to ensure the hygiene issues to protect yourself from severe nail problems. Follow our simple tips to get yourself pampered with a perfect nail care.

Achieving beautiful nails is the dream of every woman by giving them perfect nail care. In quest to nourish them with perfect nail care, many women encounter severe nail problems. Many women visit beauty salons to get a manicure and pedicure for perfect nail care. Though professional manicure and pedicure can surely be considered as a perfect nail care routine, however, it can also cause some negative results and nail problems in certain situations.

While manicure and pedicure sessions can bring wonders to your hands and feet, the most commonnail problems that Pakistani women faced is developing nail fungus and bacterial infections. The nail fungus is considered as the most common type of infection among nail problems that one can get in and around your nails.

As a matter of fact, most of the cases of nail problems are a result of a pedicure or manicure session at a beauty salon. If you experience a yellowish or greenish hue around or inside your nails, it indicates the presence of bacteria or fungus. Mostly Pakistani women are prone to these nail problems, which can require proper medical treatment if it turns serious.

Mostly these nail problems occurred while cutting the cuticle during manicure or pedicure, which eventually results in the loss of natural protective water barrier on the nail. As a result, the external material like dirt, dust and other impurities form a medium for the growth of fungus, leading to severe nail problems. While having manicure and pedicure sessions for perfect nail care, it is important to notice that the cuticle is not completely cut or removed.

You can definitely avoid these nail problems by making sure that the tools used for perfect nail care procedures are appropriately clean and hygienic. Many beauty salons lack the major issue of hygiene and use the same equipment on several clients, which lead to the serious nail problems and can spread an infection from one person to another. It is important that perfect nail care procedures’ equipments should be properly sterilized before they are used again.

You can get rid of these nail problems by avoiding over-aggressive manicure and pedicure session, which can damage the nail unit. Take your own manicure and pedicure tools to ensure the protection from severe nail problems.

Lehngas, Shararas and Gharars are really in vogue these days. For
wedding day hot red color is the first preference of every girl as their bridal dress with

and protection like applying hand cream and avoiding chemicals and harmful
detergents will help you retain them.

·                           
Soft Nails: These nails grow
slowly, health wise weak and tend to bend easily without much effort. Health
can be improved by applying nail hardeners and by putting on gloves while doing
household chores that directly the contact with water like dishwashing and
laundry.

·                           
Hard Nails: Such nails are easily

The health of these nails can be improved by applying moisturizers and vitamin-E lotions. Nails normally get dry after excessive use
of nail polish which hinders the oxygen to get to

moisture. Permanent use of nail polish must be avoided and to conceal the
paleness the transparent coat of nail polish will not just help your nails from

Nail Salon at your Home!

Nail Salon
at your Home!

You
don’t have to go to a salon for pampering your nails when setting up one at
your home is easy. Follow the tips to get beautiful healthy
nails.



Nails are
of utmost importance when it comes to the beautification of your hands. Healthy
and beautiful nails can
surely contribute to the overall image of your personality. Healthy
nails can even
depict your overall health condition, so you should take special care of your
nails and take good care of them.

Pampering
the nails is the most important step in a manicure or a pedicure. However, you
don’t always have to go to salon for that. How about setting up a nail salon
right here in your bedroom! Yes, you can readily do that and we will help you
with that. You just have to follow a few tips.

Always file
your nails in a
slightly squared oval shape. This “squoval” shape looks good for all nails.
Even if you have long slim artistic fingers or a little chubby hands, this
shape is all good for all types.

Never file the nails too deeply into the sides. You might damage the nail bed
by doing that. The nails will also become brittle and tend to break soon from
the edges.

Always
keep a pair of old fine nylon tights in your kit. Just run your nails over the
tights after filing, so as to make sure that the tips are ultra smooth and not
snagging.

You
should always apply the nail color in three broad strokes. First stroke in the
middle of the nail, and the other two should be applied on either side of the
nail. This will make the color spread out evenly on the nail.

Instead
of applying one thick coat, try applying two thin coats
of the nail color. This will help the color dry out fast.

While
applying the nail color, always use the whole brush to apply and
not just the tip of the brush. Using the tip only, applies uneven thick coat
and forms air bubbles on the nail.

Want
to dry the nail color even faster…?! Try dipping your nails in ice cold water
right after applying the nail color. This will set the color in its place and
will help dry it fast.

Always take
care of your nails yourself
if you want that manicured look all the time. You can rub olive oil or almond
oil on your nails daily before going to bed. This really is good nourishment
for your nails and it also gives a beautiful shiny look.

Last
but not the least; you can sweep the white nail pencil under the edges to get
that cool instant French manicure look.

Nourish your nails with a professional manicure

Nourish your
nails with a professional manicure

From a
busy schedule in life, every woman deserves a soothing manicure
at home. Women can do manicure simply by following a few useful manicure tips and
evade paying those costly spa bills and experience the joy of an expert manicure
at home. Just give it a try by sitting in your room and have
the benefit of the same relaxing experience of a manicure.

Create
a spa atmosphere:

To begin with, create a spa atmosphere by putting a few candles all over your
bathroom.  Peaceful background music along with a comfortable bathrobe and
flip-flops would help create that effect. Now, you can remove the old nail polish by applying nail polish remover on a cotton ball. A manicure
tip could be to
place the moistened cotton ball over the nail for almost five minutes before wiping
it off. Now, a nail clipper would be handy in cutting the nails.
Then file the nailsneatly in one direction to avoid
spoiling them. Often, buffing could be done to give nails a final finishing.

Usage
of water:

Manicure requires a lot of usage of water to
soak and soften the hands. This will remove all the dirt. Dry the hands and use
a hand moisturizer to further soften the nails. Now, the next step in this manicure requires the pushing of cuticles back.
A suggestive tip is
to use a cuticle stick to softly push the cuticles back with that stick. Apply
the base coat on thenails which serve the purpose of shielding
the nails from the chemicals used in the polish.
To avoid the weakening of thenails and form turning them into yellow this
base is applied.

Apply
nail polish:

Now, the final beautifying step of this manicure has reached. Choose your favourite
coloured nail polish. Shake well before opening the
bottle. A stroke in the middle of the nail and two strokes on the sides
will be good enough. Leave it to dry for a while and then apply the second coat
on the nails. Applying of the top coat helps
prevent the chipping of nails but that depends on which nail type you belong to. Nevertheless, it
will quickly dry the nail polish, hence part of the manicuredone
at home. Let them dry for about fifteen
minutes before enjoying the new look.

Consume
vitamins:

A last note on manicure tips will be useful when performing it at home.
You can reapply the top coat daily to last themanicure longer.
Intake of adequate amounts of vitamins will strengthen the nails.
Thin coats are better and that is possible when nail polishes are stored in cool places and
that too OPI nail polishes. Thus, apply a nail moisturizer at night to prevent the
drying out of nails.
