Importance of Pedicure

Pedicure is essential because it helps to remove the hard, dead skin cells from your feet. A pedicure is also ideal if you want to keep your toenails perfectly clean. It provides you with smooth skin that is healthy and toenails that are well-shaped with a touch of your favorite nail polish to finish it off.

 

However, there are also other luxurious and pampering things apart from a professional pedicure. One of them includes a blissful foot massage that deeply cleanses the exfoliation. A relaxed pedicure also helps to lift your spirits and leaves you feeling completely spoiled. You can also boost your pedicure with other indulgent and uplifting add-ons.

 

How Pedicure Works

It is suitable for removing hard and dead skin cells from your feet and keeps your toenails completely clean. The good thing about a pedicure is that it can still be performed on wet or dry feet. However, a wet pedicure provides a more luxurious experience. Both of your feet need to be in hot and soapy water to soften your skin and the entire cuticle area.

 

Similar to most treatments, these methods tend to vary from one beauty salon to another, although the results are always soft feet and removal of dead dry skin from your feet.

 

Results to Expect

The style of pedicure you get is highly dependent on where you choose to get it from. That means if you want to get the best pedicure, you need to conduct thorough research to find out the best place. There are several distinct pedicures out there like a simple and hot foot bath to a luxurious massage water jet.

 

After fully soaking your feet for several minutes, the therapist will use a buffer file or hard pumice stone to get rid of hard skin from the heels of your feet. The therapist will also use a cuticle clipper to alleviate the dry areas in your cuticles and toes.

 

They will then trim your toenails and file them perfectly, and then add exfoliate relaxing treatment to make sure the skin is fresh and smooth. Lastly, before polishing, the therapist will add a soothing cream and massage it to your feet to provide softness and hydration for the next coming days. Once that is done, the therapist will apply polish to the top coat and your only option will be to wait for them to dry.

 

Points to Note

If you need something more in-depth or want to deal with a consistent foot problem, it is crucial to consider medical pedicure. It is not that relaxing compared to a luxury pedicure, but suitable for your feet’s health.

 

An ideal nail bar with an expert podiatrist will provide you with the best treatment, and help you alleviate nails and get your feet ready for summer. Therefore, whether you need a massage or lick of color, or even something a bit hardwearing, a professional pedicure guarantees an excellent feeling that will last for days, and give your steps a unique spring.

Nail Extensions

Gel Nail Extensions & Overlays

A good way of increasing ten length and strength of your natural nails is through overlays and nail extensions. If you happen to have weak nail beds or lack the patience to naturally grow them, this can be an ideal alternative.

 

Their advantage is that they are designed to look real or even fake, and the process is faster and effortless. The results are polished and glamorous nails that will last for weeks.

 

Fun fact: Long nails have been a sign of wealth in Asian cultures from the early Ming dynasty. Another fun fact is that a male dentist back in the ‘50s patented false nails in order to repair a broken nail that was interfering with his work. Extensions can make your nails look longer, stronger and even glamorous.

 

How it Works

There are two types of false nails, and they include overlays and extensions. Whichever you choose will depend on whether you need additional strength or length and a durable color. Gel nail extensions, also referred to as tips, are designed with lightweight plastic, and they are cut according to your nail’s shape.

 

They are then glued to your nails and the overlay is done with acrylic or gel to secure and finish. Overlays normally skip the extension step with gel or acrylic, which is applied onto the nails directly and shaped by “forms” or hand. They are then buffed to create a glossy effect. They are suitable for anyone who lacks nails with a “wow” factor.

 

Acrylics are known to be the oldest artificial nail form, and they use polymer powder referred to as polymethyl methacrylate that is mixed with a liquid monomer known as ethyl methacrylate. The formula tends to harden within 20 to 30 seconds after being exposed to UV light.

 

Although gels are not long-lasting and are more costly compared to acrylic, they are quite strong, flexible and odorless. The good thing about gels is that they don’t cause a lot of damage to your nails compared to extensions.

 

What You Should Know

The period false nails last depend on the beauty salon where you got them done. Nails are more prone to damages during a DIY weekend, compared to sitting on an office desk. Both overlays and extensions are fitted properly and removed on a salon to prevent the nail bed damages.

 

Acrylics require you to return to the salon within 3 to 4 weeks for infills or removal, but gels last only for 2 to 3 weeks. Acrylic overlays and extensions are normally removed through nail soaking in acetone for about 20 to 30 minutes.

 

Each layer is then filed off, although it can lead to damages of the nail bed. Therefore, it is advisable to opt for a beauty salon or nail bar with experienced professionals.

 

Who Is it For?

Anyone can have extensions, but there are times when you should avoid them. A lot of experts recommend taking a break from them during pregnancy or if you are feeling unwell. It is also vital to consider being careful when styling or drying your hair since artificial nails can get damaged by materials which are flammable and even heat.

 

What’s more, you need to check the expert fitting the overlays or extensions for preventing any problems.

Manicure, Treatment Guide


Thinking of getting a manicure? Then read our comprehensive guide!

 

Whether you like short and sweet nails, square, oval, or almond, there’s a good reason why more and more women are opting for manicures today, making them one of the most favoured beauty treatments. From a full set of acrylics to French or gels, a professional manicure will ensure that your nails and hands are buffed to perfection. With literally hundreds of different shades to choose from, you can find the perfect finish to complement any outfit.

 

Whether you choose paraffin, or acrylics, there’s definitely a reason why manicures are rated as one of the most popular beauty treatments for today’s women. You may like short and round nails, or oval, square, or almond. It doesn’t matter what your preferences are. When you have a fresh manicure, your mood will be lifted instantly. And of course there’s a manicure out there and a finishing shade to suit absolutely any outfit.

 

What to Expect

 

If you are new to manicures, it’s important to understand what to expect. First and foremost, your hands will be soaked. This is necessary to soften up your skin and cuticles. After soaking, your nails will be buffed down to ensure they are evened out, filing after buffing making sure that all your nails are the same shape and size. When opting for a manicure, there are some add-on’s that you might like to include such as an arm and hand massage or a paraffin treatment. A normal manicure however will include the basics; soaking, trimming, buffing, and colouring of your nails. Alternatively, for a natural look, you may choose cuticle oil instead of adding a lick of colour.

 

When selecting from a treatment menu, there are endless choices and picking the right manicure for you is a lot down to your personal preferences. You may like to choose a natural look, or alternatively, long-lasting and glossy nails. Maybe even fake, high fashion nails to make a really bold statement. If you want long, luscious, talon-like nails, then acrylics are the best option. Acrylics are nail extensions that are false and that are glued onto the tips of your own nails. Once glued onto your nails, acrylics are sealed with a top coat that is fast drying.

 

Acrylics generally last around a month; after this time you will need to get them refilled. If on the other hand you are after a more natural look, but are forever breaking or chipping your nails, then gel nails or shellacs are a good choice. When you choose gel nails, gel polish is applied onto your own natural nails and sealed by UV light. Gel nails dry instantly, and they should last without any chipping at all for up to two weeks.
