The Obsession

Can you spend an hour or more in beauty supply stores?  Do you have multiple subscriptions to or can't help but pick up the latest hair magazine?  Is your 'under the sink' storage area so full that you have a special product area for your impulse purchases?  It's offiicial - you're obsessed.

The Natural Nail

There are a number of nail trends out there, some are not the best when it comes to caring for your natural nail.  Why not take care of your nails instead of having and acrylic replica of a healthy nail?

Brought to you by our Resident Natural Nail Expert, Angel Williams, this section focuses on the beauty and versatility of the natural nail.

E-mail Print PDF

Nails Inc. (an across the pond favorite) Neon & Nudes and Essie’s Navigate Her collections both put a great package together for this new Spring/Summer 2012 seasonal trend.  Bold brights on the toes and nice clean neutrals on the fingers.

Reflect & Refresh, Its Spring Time!

E-mail Print PDF

It’s Spring time! I think.  Mother Nature was throwing out random summer like days back in February, but I think we're all on the same page now.  And by page, I mean Spring.  The time of year when we should reflect and refresh.

Let’s start with a little reflection.  Around this same time last year I was off to San Diego, attending Bootcamp to become a CND Shellac Education Ambassador for the Virginia area.  And now with a couple of classes taught under my belt, I am proud to say that I am still in it to win it.

Angel Nails It!: Spring 2012 Color Palette

E-mail Print PDF

Word is out that Pantone’s (the authority on color for design and fashion professionals for over 50 years) Spring 2012 color palette is to be bright and vibrant with a splash of neutrality.

Over the next few weeks,  I will be providing you with polish recommendations that cover the full spectrum of Pantone’s predictions.

Stuck in the moment: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips

E-mail Print PDF

These nail appliques are made of real polish that offers instant salon effects without the drying time. To be flat out honest, I don’t really know how, nor could I scuffle up any information as to how it’s polish, but they do a good job.

I had a client come in (I call her my nail apprentice) for a manicure and she wanted me to put on her SH polish strips afterwards.  I thought why not, I can get a review out of this one.

Stuck in the moment: Dashing Diva Design FX

E-mail Print PDF

DD Design FX give us stunning texture embedded (3D), bejeweled designs with a simple no heat application.  I had the pleasure of working with Dashing Diva and seeing the Design FX in action and I can’t wait to see more from the line.

A big plus with this is that Design FX can be used over traditional polish, between soak-off gels and on nail enhancements.  What I recently tried was custom cutting the designs to have more creativity with these fun patterns.

Featured Product

Satin Blends Whipped Body Creme

If you listened to the Nappturalite Radio Show a few weeks ago, you may have heard my indirect review of this product.  I actually solicited opinions and reactions from clients in the salon.  There are so many wonderful products available and so many are beginning to make their own products.  I wish I could try more but, I have a dilemma.  I am allergic to one of the most popular ingredients - shea butter.  While I can use products that contain it for short periods of time, I cannot use products consisting primarily of shea butter.

The Kitchen

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
We have already discussed Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), but what about Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)?  They are NOT the same chemical.  Let's talk about it...

SLS is a harsh detergent that is found in a number of our products and is quite dangerous.  Think about your skin absorbing harsh chemicals in extremely small amounts over time.  It adds up.
