Nail removal

Many women like the idea of having their nails done. When one chips or breaks it tends to be bothersome and some women like to chew their nails off. This however is a huge mistake. Not only is it painful it could cause some serious damage to your tender nailbeds. Many nail salons offer the removal service for a small fee of course. And some like to slip a credit card underneath your nail and pop it off. Never ever let someone intentionally pop off your acrylic nails. Artificial nails should always be soaked in a glass bowl with pure acetone for at least 15 minutes. Once removed from the pure acetone you can use a utensil to gently scrape off the acrylic. This will safely remove the acrylic without damaging your nailbeds. P a acetone is inexpensive but very poisonous please be very careful when around small children. When you're soaking your nails in pure acetone be sure you have the time and patience to do so. You well not be able to multitask as your fingers are soaking in pure acetone. The acetone may get very cold but this is very common. Also be sure he your bowl is made of glass or ceramic never ever use a plastic bowl. As a nail technician it is not only my job to give you beautiful nails but to also educate you in maintaining your beautiful nails.

Arylic nails aren't for eveyone. Which is why it's best to offer different services to meet the needs for each individual  so I do offer manicures  A good mani should last about 45 min. I soak each hand shape and fill then push back your cuticles never clipping them off as this will result in having thicker cuticles growing back and nobody wants that. I then move on to a sugar scrub that helps remove all dead skin from your hands( yes we all have it no matter how much we wash our hands)  then wrap your hands in a warm towel and let them relax. Next after removing the sugar scrub I use a illuminating mask and I wrap your hands again using a warm cloth and let them relax and absorb the mask. For polishing your nails that it should be best done in three strokes. The first stroke should go in the center. Then, second and third motion of strokes should be done on the sides of the nail. After the first coat is completely dried, begin the next coat for a more deep color. Most professionals prefer to apply three layers of nail coat, starting from base coat, first nail polish coat and ending with a second coat of the colored nail polish. But you can also apply a top coat sealant on top of the second coat to get an extra glossy finish on your nails. The top coat sealant takes a lot of time to dry, therefore don’t make a mistake of touching anything and ruining your labor.Beautiful nails essentials for a great looking you.

Hello all my name is Eva and I luv ART. I love to make ppl feel good about themselves and what better way then makng their nails stand out and shine.I studied at the Academy of nail designs in Omaha, NE http://academyofnaildesign.com/ which only takes 16wks for pt students. I'm inspired by the imagination of my 3 children who never cease to amaze me. For a simple set of nails it's only a 2hr process. Specilaty nails take 3hrs but the end result is always worth the time. Currently I use the Organic products,Nail Factory,CND and OPI. I love a...ll types of art! To see my art displayed on someones nails for all to see is small dream come true. My goal is to become a product educator for the hottest brands out there right now. I really like Organic, Young nails and Nail factory. We all have to start somewhere so my first step is to get my art work out there for all to see. I am open to suggestions and new methods. Currently I'm learning the marblizing method with acrylics. I'm excited to get feed back so please feel free to message me. Thanks for looking and please share ideas, pics ect..
