Nail News: The Modern Mani

– January 31, 2013Posted in: Lola

Pink black and whiteThe Modern Mani:

With the recent explosion of nail art on social media (Instagram, respectively), “digital” designs have taken on a varied versatility ranging from edgy to everyday. The modern manicure has a distinctively DIY esthetic to it, with an emphasis on iconic, “mix-matched” patterns (think Ikat and Chevron), along with thoughtful details such as studding, pearls, and adorable appliques.

 

If designs aren’t for you, a bold and unusual color will keep you current. A mismatched mani/pedi combo comprised of complimentary colors (think Barbie pink and emerald green) is on trend, plus a wonderful idea if you’re feeling indecisive on which color to choose! *Remember, shorter nails dressed up with a statement hue is a quick, classy way to wear a trend.Roses

 

Whether novice or manicure maven, there’s a look for everyone in the world of nail art. Bring photos of your favorites to your nail stylist and remember (as with any emerging trend), communication is key! Along with your color and/or design selection, point out any details you despise. The key in getting exactly what you want is knowing what you DON’T want!

Do-It-Yourself-er? Here’s a few things to keep in mind to make the most of your manicure…

 

Properly Prepped:

essie base coat

Get optimal results by properly prepping your nails.

Start by lightly buffing the nail with a 320 grit block buffer. Available at most beauty supply stores, the buffer can be used on natural nails without damaging the surface.

Follow up with a base coat (we adore Essie First Base). This combination provides a sticky surface for the color to cling to, which ultimately minimizes chipping!

 

Perfect Your Polish:

 

To prevent polish from bubbling, try to let it dry for at least five minutes in between coats. In addition, don’t forget to “cap the edge”, by lightly applying polish to the very tip and underneath portion of your nails. Doing so also prevents chipping, so you’ll want to use this technique with base, color, AND top coat. Speaking of top coats…

 

Top It Off:

 

top coatA quality top coat is essential to mani maintenance! Not only does it provide a flawless finish, but it also speeds up the drying time, important for those on the go!

Our favorite: Essie Good To Go.

Not gaga for gloss? Try a matte top coat instead- we love Essie Matte About You

<3 <3 <3

 

Cuticle Care:

 

Your cuticles create a barrier between the skin and nails that keep infectious organisms and bacteria out, so never neglect! Moisturize hands after every wash and invest in a quality cuticle conditioning treatment. Most importantly, never pick at hang nails or dry cuticles and protect those paws! Wear gloves while cleaning, doing dishes, etc. and steer clear of abrasive chemicals.

No time? No Problem!

Consider a soak off, gel polish manicure to keep hands looking clean for up to three weeks! Gelish, a hybrid nail lacquer with hard gel qualities, comes in a wide range of colors (from nudes to neons), remains chip free, and virtually NEVER fades. Why we love it even more: Gelish system uses an LED curing lamp which dries color in 60 seconds!

 

Lets Review:

Vision and trends, Mix match colors or eye catching artwork.images

Prep and Clean, a well conditioned pair of paws will ensure you get the most of your mani.

Apply and have fun! let people compliment you on your mini canvases.

No time  for all of this? Not a problem come in and let us take care of you here at the salon!

Self Love: A Map on how to get there

– January 19, 2013Posted in: Lola
yumnaphoto by Yumna

You are here to make yourself happy!!! If you’re not, today is a great day to change that.

Jump, it’s not as wide as you think. We all get wrapped up in our busy schedule that we  end up forgetting about ourselves. Take some personal time. Go out and do something that scares you. Changing your  mindset and opening  your eyes, as well as your heart, is the only way we can truly receive radical love. Now here are some ideas on how.

 

Be a better babe:

photo by George Antoni

Seek your glamours side. Shake up your beauty regime and let your inner diva shine. Come to the salon and get a makeover with a new cut and color. Let us teach you new ways to style your hair. As most of you know, getting your hair done is so wonderful, and I know if my hair isn’t right then I don’t feel right.

 

 

purple-eyeshadow

Try colors in your makeup that you were once afraid of, like deep violets for browneyes or rich greens for blue or green eyes. We love pushing the boundaries and want to educated you on how to do so the right way.

Its okay to splurge on great quality products (don’t worry we wont tell your man.)We believe in the product lines that we carry here in the salon and know whats best for every one.

Do what makes YOU feel good!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get your feet wet:

Large_8f34967cb5617685e68ca7c70b57ef2cTake on a new adventure. Book that ticket you have been dreaming about.

Why sit back on life and always wonder “what if”. Take a road trip with a friend and eat somewhere you have never been before. Spontaneity is a wonderful quality to carry. Getting dirty isn’t always a bad thing. Make sure to laugh A LOT. Bring your camera and document the whole trip.

Memories are so powerful, so make them great. Its always nice to get out of your element and experience a new world. This is why we exist.

 

 

 

Worship your Temple:

Not only being beautiful on the outside, but being healthy and balanced on the inside is important too.

Discovering your inner spirit is astonishing. Always strive to truly be the best that you can be. Recently I have dramatically changed what I am consuming. I never realized how much crap I would consume in a day. So I started to document what went into my body and I was shocked. Eating clean and healthy really has changed so much, not just the way I fit into my clothes but also how good my brain feels.

Having more energy and stamina than ever I feel like I can accomplish anything in this world.

Come to the Spa, Get a relaxing facial.Take up a yoga class at the gym.

 

 

 

Inspire: (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, esp. to do something creative



Keep inspiring all those around you and keep having awestruck moments. Be aware of yourself and how others perceive you, trust me it makes life much smoother when you are transparent and genuine. Mentor someone and share your skills and knowledge. This is the only way the world can keep growing.




Awestruck:  adjective: filled with or revealing awe

Improve your Craft:


pink typewritter


 


Wether you are into art or numbers, do all that you do, the best that you can do. There is always room to evolve and improve, Think of how different the world would be if we didn’t have the technology that we have today.


I know personally I can not live without my Iphone let alone a flat iron. My life would be a hot mess if none of those great pioneers pushed themselves into bettering their craft.


Its always a little scary pushing yourself to the next level. That is why I surround myself with people who are motivated and strong, to keep me on my toes.


Be apart of a community and give back. This can be done with something as simple as telling your Facebook friends to have a great day, or volunteering for a charity.


Don’t forget to count your blessing and be grateful. There is to many wonderful things to taste in this life to not be in love with it all.


 


 


Let it all soak in:


J.K


 


Now I have given you the map, go out in this world and find your treasure. 

 There is nothing wrong with being fabulous everyday!!!

New Year New You!
 – January 1, 2013Posted in: Lola
			


Coming to a end.


As 2012 is coming to a end I took some time and did a self assessment as I do every year. I talked amongst  my fellow coworkers to see what we could do for you this new year. With this little evaluation I came to the conclusion that 2012 was great, but 2013 could be even better. With so many opportunities coming up for everyone in life why not stop and take some personal time to care for yourself. Everyone has a busy life and is juggling multiple things at once, and sometimes we forget to take a look at ourselves. So this is what Park Avenue is proud to offer you this new year!
