What Goes Into Getting Manicured?
As a painter, I take care of my hands, feet, and hands the way the master painters in the past took care of the tools they used. These are not accident chemicals that leak on to the skin as I work. The white powder I use for calligraphy is FDA approved so it is safe for your hands and nails too. I mix it into a cream then dissolve it into my vinegar treatment, as well as having it dissolved into olive oil for drying. I use it along with my salon care to cover up any residual calligraphy stuck on the natural colors on my hands. In Japan, one must wash hands with a mixture of soy, sauerkraut, and ketchup for picking up spices! I actually utilize olive oil for my hands and butter for my nails to stop the burning. Put these on once a day and you will see beautiful results!
Nails on All Types of Nails
www.dermalopropulation.com has tips on how to get the right colors of nails for your skin. When you are getting manicures, make sure you have color and polish on all your nails. Also avoid buying yellow-colored nails! (Also for a more long term application. When you are coloring your nails, concentrate on how much acrylic you are using). It is about mixing your three best colors together before applying polish. After the polish dries, mix one drop of vitamin C with one drop of vegetable glycerin. On your nails in a purse or in a pocket, this will help prevent redness from drying out.
Creams for Gloves
The studio in my studio in New York also makes personalized hand creams for stylists to put on gloves when it is too cold outside. For winter months, you can use the wet cream to keep the hands warm.
Lipstick for Nose
www.macklane.com makes nail file with lipstick polish, to keep nails slick for many years. I usually like going to the salon for my mani’s and want to look my best but I don’t want to sacrifice style for the fun. You can also smudge a lipstick around your manicure without looking like you are painting on each nail.
