Nail Art with the use of Magnets… amazing

These nail effects using magnets over 1 coat of nail polish are amazing.  I have had it done to my nails and loved the 3D effect… These ones from Sally Hansen look great so  view the video  note the bar that sits on the top of the finger, holding the magnet the correct distance over the nail. That has got to be so much easier than guessing! Also it will help keeping the look consistent over your other nails

Natural Nail Soaks

I’ve been searching the internet looking for some recipes for  nail soaking.frenchmanivurekits.com natural hand soak tips

Here are a few I found from  www.101beautysalon.com:

1.Pineapple-Yogurt Nail Soak: Patricia Rivers-Sergienko, a natural nail care professional, shares this recipe. Pineapple contains two helpful ingredients: Bromelain, an enzyme that can reduce inflammation and pain, and alpha-hydroxyl acids, which peel off dead skin cells. Yogurt is very nourishing and a natural healer.
Composition: 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp pineapple juice(fresh or canned), 2 tbsp plain organic yogurt(regular or non-fat).
Preparation: Measure each ingredient and add to a bowl. Whip mixture with a fork until it becomes blended and creamy.
Application: Dip fingers in the bowl and relax, allowing each hand to sit in the mixture for 5 minutes. Massage both hands and fingers with the pineapple-yogurt mixture. Leave on skin for a few more minutes. Then rinse in warm water and pat dry. Use a fresh batch each time you do a manicure.

2.Essential Oil Nail Soak: Essential Oils soften the nail cuticles and helps shape your nails better.
Composition: 2 tbsp chamomile flowers, 5 drops lavender oil, 1 tsp almond oil.
Preparation: Add 4 cups boiling water to the chamomile flowers and allow the water to steep. Strain into a large bowl and add the essential oil, and almond oil. Soak your nails in it for 10 minutes and with a cuticle stick push back your cuticles. Then rinse in warm water and pat dry. Use a fresh batch each time you do a manicure.

3.Olive Oil Nail Soak: Warm a little olive oil in a pan over the stove. This should be only slightly hot; do not boil it and test it carefully before you use it. Now soak your hands and nails in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Wipe off the excess, apply gloves and sit tight for an hour (It’s even better if you do this overnight). find the full post here
