UV Cure Gel Nail Polish: A Dream Come True For Manicure Clients!

Nail polish lovers: How many times have you wished it didn't take so long for your polish to dry? How many times have you waited patiently for it to dry, only to smudge, scratch or get "sheet mark" imprints on it within the first hour? How many times have you wished it would stay on for more than a few days without chipping or peeling?

Your wish is my command!
Some brilliant people found a way to make a hybrid nail polish using UV gel technology. A million nail techs are kicking themselves right now for not thinking of this first. Here are the specifics about this professional-only nail polish hybrid:
It doesn't air-dry like regular nail polish. It cures for a couple minutes under a UV lamp. Once your hand is removed from the lamp, the polish is completely dry and ultra-shiny. It is guaranteed to wear on natural nails--yes, natural nails--for 14+ days! My clients are wearing it successfully for even longer than that. This new hybrid nail polish cannot be taken off with polish remover. It is removed by a simple 10 minute acetone nail wrapping procedure at your nail salon. There is no "catch" or down-side to this new nail polish service. Your nails will not be roughed up or acid-primed before application and removal is gentle and completely non-damaging to the nail. The polish is light-weight and has a slight rubbery feel to it. It will even flex with your nails when they get wet (perfect for hair stylists)! It protects your nails and therefore promotes nail growth. This is truly an answer to prayer for frustrated nail polish wearers!

I am now offering this new service at my salon! I currently have 12 Nail Harmony Gelish colors and 28 CND Shellac colors to choose from. I plan to acquire more colors as soon as possible.

My prices are affordable. Add $10 to any of my natural nail services or $6 to any artificial nail enhancement service. Just call and ask for Shellac! Please be advised that I frequently book up as far as 2 weeks in advance. My service price list is here, just click on the photo to enlarge: http://diaryofamanicurist.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-new-salon-service-menu.html

A Day With IZZY STRADLIN

Image
This is an update to a blog that I posted several years ago, a true story about a magical day I spent hanging out with Guns N Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin in 1988. November 23, 2012 It took over 24 years for the stars to align in such a way that Izzy and I would end up in the same place again. Quite honestly, I'm surprised it took that long, with me always traveling back and forth to many of the same cities he's known to frequent. I always imagined that when the day came that I would cross paths with him again, it would be in a casual situation where I could pull up a chair and smile and speak quietly and naturally. Unfortunately, that's not how it went...  Right before Thanksgiving, I received an email with a PDF attachment from a generous Christian friend of mine. It was a ticket to see the last show of Guns N Roses residency at the Hard Rock Hotel. He refused to let me pay him for it, just said he couldn't go and wanted me to have the ticket. Knowing Izzy Strad

How To Juice Wheatgrass Using A NutriBullet

Image
The benefits of wheatgrass are widely debated. I just like the way it tastes. My personal belief is that anything that helps restore alkalinity to the blood is a good thing. Rich in chlorophyll, wheatgrass aids in detoxing the body and liver as well. Wheatgrass is higher in vitamin E per ounce than other green vegetables. All I know is that drinking green plant juice has to be better for you than not drinking it. Here's how I "juice" my wheatgrass using the NutriBullet extraction method: Buy a flat of organic wheatgrass. Trim the grass as close to the root as possible.  1/2 flat = 1 serving Put wheatgrass in a strainer and wash/rinse thoroughly. Place wheatgrass into small size NutriBullet cup. Add approximately 1 inch of purified water to cup. Add slightly more water for double serving (but not double the amount or it will become too watered down.) Experiment with the amount of water that works for your own personal taste. This is just what works for

Goodbye Hard Rock Hotel

Image
...from the eyes of a former employee Sunrise from the parking garage after a Guns N Roses concert In the late 1990s when I was planning to make my move from Indiana to somewhere in the southwest desert, I learned that a Hard Rock Hotel had just opened in Las Vegas. After doing research on cost of living and crime rate in the area, at that time, I learned it was similar to my hometown. One synchronicity after another occured and it seemed like all roads pointed to Las Vegas. I called the Rock Spa at the Hard Rock Hotel and innocently told them about myself and my skills and wanted to know what I needed to do to get a job there. They told me, "Just get here first." So I did, in September 1999, one week before my birthday, I arrived in fabulous Las Vegas where an apartment I rented long distance and my first self-employment booth rental gig were waiting for me. I had saved a ton of money from being an OPI product educator and knew I needed time to heal from a lifetime of
