Time for You, Nails by Sandy

A little summer fun.

8 weeks growth. Couldn’t see me because she fell and broke a bone and had to be in rehab. Before and after. Boy was she glad to get them shortened!

This is why cuticle oil is so important, whether you have product on your nails or not.

Why does your Nail Tech relentlessly remind you about using Nail & Cuticle Oil?
1) Our nails need moisture just like our skin and hair but it needs to be specifically formulated for nails and the skin surrounding it.
2) Lotion is NOT a cuticle moisturizer. The molecular structure of lotion is too large to pe*****te your proximal nail fold and nail plate. Therefore, you need an oil specifically designed for nails such as CND Solar Oil
3) Nail and cuticle oil is designed to keep your natural nail well moisturized, flexible, and supple to prevent breakage.
4) A well moisturized nail will hold polish longer than a dry and brittle nail.
5) You can go longer in between manicures when you’re doing your part at home.
6) Using oil daily will prevent hangnails and calluses that are so tempting to pick at.
7) Your nails and skin will just look better.
We recommend using 1 drop of Solar Oil per hand (less is more) and take about eight seconds on each nail and rub it in. Massaging your nails will stimulate blood flow and oxygen along with delivering vital nutrients to stimulate growth.

Good choice on nail design last week. Totally appropriate for the weather this week.
Come see me at Image Makers and don’t forget our feet need care during the winter also!
Looking forward to some valentines nails!
