Sunblock and Summer Nails

Sunblock and Summer go together like Mani's and Pedi's.

SPF is the single most important thing you could wear on a daily basis and should be your best friend when venturing outdoors. Dermatologists would advise that it is a skin care necessity; protecting the body's largest organ, our skin, from the effects of harmful UVA and UVB damage, while preserving youthful looking skin.

Being as beneficial as it is, it's also important to note that if you have a UV top coat on your nails, Sunblock could compromise the integrity of the seal. The chemicals in Sunblock cause UV top coats and polish to degrade, leaving it to feel tacky and look faded. It could also cause lighter polishes to yellow and interestingly enough, cleaning products can also have the same effects.

If preserving the beauty of your nails is as important to you as preserving the beauty of your skin, simply wash your hands thoroughly with anti-bacterial soap after applying your SPF. A small measure could save you time and money and make all the difference in between nail appointments ;)

There has been a breakthrough in natural nail care technology that will change the face of nail polish as we know it!

Creative Nail Design has recently launched a groundbreaking and innovative product called Shellac.

Shellac is a no chip, light cure polish that uses patent pending UV3 technology and is ideal for natural nail care enthusiasts. It goes on like regular polish, but has the resiliency of Gels and leaves a flawless finish for up to 14 days. Thats right! two weeks of beautiful, long lasting colour!

It dissolves in approximately 10 minutes and there are currently 12 colours to choose from, with more to come.
