Long and lasting love
CEBU, Philippines - This is true.
Honey Jarque Loop tests the gel that keeps nail colors from chipping.
We meet several people every day, and we are judged by the way we dress, and maintain ourselves. As oppose to the other parts of the body, hands age the quickest. And because they are always visible, nail care is extremely important.
The word “manicure†comes from two words, “manus†and “curaâ€, which means “hand†and “careâ€. The very basic manicure routine would include shaping of the nails, treating the cuticles, moisturizing the hands and polishing the nails.
The importance of manicures is not only about the glam quotient associated with it but also with the purpose associated with it. Nails are manicured to prevent them from chipping and cracking, especially for women who have to do household chores or engage in sports. Manicure can also prevent many other problems from arising in the future, such as hang-nails, fragile nails and wrinkles in the hands and cuticles.
Evelyn Tiu, co-owner of Nail Baby salon that recently opened at the second level of the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Lahug, enthusiastically shared the latest products in nail care and its many benefits.
Unlike many varnishes used, the gel nails speak in favor of your health as its chemical composition is characterized by a mixture of hypo-allergenic. It can be used for natural nail overlays and offers the ideal solution for those seeking durable and practical alternative to more traditional forms of maintenance of the nails.
Once the gel composition is resistant, the nails receive extra protection during their growth process, thus preventing them from breaking with greater ease. Since brittle nails represent an aesthetic problem for many women, this is assumed as one of the advantages inherent in this most exciting cosmetic procedure.
More importantly, the gel lasts longer than the traditional nail polish. It can stay literally two to three weeks on your nails even if you do chores and sports. Admittedly, I had my reservations as to its durability, so to quash my apprehension, I submitted myself to the procedure, which lasted less than an hour.
Just like in a regular manicure, cuticles are pushed back, and nails are filed are buffed so the gel adheres more strongly. Next, a coat of gel polish is applied to each nail with 30 seconds of drying time under a UV light in between. A second coat is applied, and then allowed to dry again for another 30 seconds. At the end of the gel nail manicure, I was pleasantly surprised that my nails were completely dry.
True to Evelyn’s pronouncements, my gel manicure lasted close to three weeks. The polish did start to peel a bit on the sides, but was only obvious when you looked at my nails closely.
