The peak of nail industry development, including acrylic nails, came to 2000. Should we strengthen nails today, in 2009? Acrylic nails are already in the past? What are nail care new trends? What manicure and make-up will be relevant this season? What nails can tell about you?

This season trends

The trend of this season - natural nails, with bright elements, for especially “glamor” ladies - decorated with paste. This is a landmark moment for us. If 3-5 years ago, acrylic nails were the main trend, now everything has changed. Pink, white coats, French, short nails are the main trends.

A woman’s status is largely determined by her nails state. Keeping nails healthy is far more difficult than hiding their defects by means of building. Updating natural manicure should be done every one to two weeks.

Each case requires its own manicures, color, form. And all this should be clearly and carefully cared!

Beauty just for few hours and for a long time, or irreparable harm?

In pursuit of artificial beauty women sometimes do not understand they can cause irreparable harm to their body. The cost of nail building at salons is rather cheap. However, remember you will have to spend about half of that amount on adjustment every 2 weeks. And here not all is so “smooth” and “beautiful.” Even last year, doctors found that a popular procedure of nail building is very dangerous for your health. This applies not only to the very fashion-mongers, but also masters of manicure.

Long live the allergy?

Studies have shown that polymeric drug methacrylate contained in special equipment for nail building, can cause severe allergic reactions.

To confirm their assumptions, scientists conducted a survey of nail building masters and their permanent clients aged 20 to 70 years. It turned out they already are sick with some types of allergies. The most part includes skin allergy. In the United States methacrylate is officially banned, but it is still used. After long researches, scientists found that methacrylate causes paronychia (inflammation of area around nail) and onycholysis (nail lamination).

Back to natural make-up!

Keeping nail health is not too difficult: just do not build them! Manicure your own nails. For office choose neutral colors. For parties prefer varnishes containing elements of design. For example, neon polish. Which lacquer to use - pearl or glossy - it’s you to decide. These enamels serve different functions. It should be remembered that red enamel is demanding, it is more rigorous, and nail defects are very noticeable under it.

What manicure can tell?

If you want to get to know a woman better, look at her hands. Well-groomed, cared hands suggest that their owner is an extraordinary person, likes herself, has a bright personality and is constantly concerned on her image, despite the busy pace of life.

Groomed beautiful hands begin with beautiful nails. Nails reveal the true “I” and indicate attitude to oneself. People who appreciate themselves, caring for themselves and their appearance cause other’s respect.

Neil design allows you making women’s hands in a valuable work of art. Nails may be decorated with sparkles, paste. You can create a newfangled “transparent nail design”, or a stylish figure on enamel. And you may not worry about enamel’s tone not matching the color of your costume now. Nail service and design experts take into account the fact that beautiful women often change their clothes and offer a universal solution - nail art design, made of several colors, matching clothes from your wardrobe. Such manicure will look natural and original, stressing unity and perfection of your image.

Diagnose through nails

Moreover, nails can diagnose disorders of the body and certain diseases:

If color of nails is uneven, cyanochroic or more pale than skin color, there is reason to suspect a circulatory system disorder.

Transverse grooves on nail surface talk about recent serious infectious disease.
