Tips from Skyy Hadley: Extend the life of your Manicure and Lashes

Celebrity beauty guru and owner of As U Wish Nail Spa Skyy Hadley, shares her tips on how to maintain both lash extensions and manicures, because whether you are spending your summer at the pool or sipping cocktails on rooftop bars your makeup should be the last thing on your mind.

Tips to extend the life of your lash extensions:
Allow your lashes 24 to 48 hours of setting time before getting them wet. Moisture from showers or intense workouts could reactivate the adhesive and make your lashes clump.
Avoid touching the extensions as much as possible. Lashes shed naturally on their own, buy by touching or tugging on extensions it could make them fall out faster.
Maintain your lashes by making sure your natural ones are healthy. Apply lash conditioner, baby oil, or lash lengthening serum to make sure your extensions have a strong base.
Consult your calendar. Do you plan on attending any weddings or taking that girls trip to Vegas? Opt for a more full and dramatic lash extension look that says glam but is secretly time-saving. Just want to shorten your time in front of the mirror and feel more confident? A less dramatic look is easier to maintain and still looks stunning.

Tips to extend your manicure:
Remove your polish and let your nails breathe for a good few days. If nails look discolored, squeeze some lemon into your lotion or rub lemon wedge directly onto the nail to brighten nails.
Apply a shea butter lotion or non-greasy cream to lock in moisture
Begin painting! Apply a cuticle oil to the base of your nails (or even when they are already polished), focusing around the cuticle area to hydrate and bring moisture into the skin, helping the polish last longer.

5.  Trim the excess off using your scissors and following the edge of the notebook.

6.  repeat this step on the back and the inside front and back of your notebook for a complete new look.

unnamed

During the month of August, Los Angeles-based, eco-friendly, luxury nail care company Lauren B. Beauty is launching a donation program supporting Chrysalis, a nonprofit organization that helps put homeless and low income individuals on the path to self-sufficiency by giving them the resources and support they need to find and keep jobs. Beginning August 1st, the brand will donate 20% of the proceeds from the sale of the Lauren B. Cares Chrysalis Collection to the nonprofit organization.

Over the past 30 years, Chrysalis has developed a nationally recognized program that offers services to low income and homeless individuals in Los Angeles County, helping them to prepare for, attain and sustain employment. They offer their clients a hand up, not a hand out, building upon their strengths and helping to reduce or eliminate any barriers to employment.

All of Lauren’s nail polish shades are inspired by her hometown of L.A. With this set, she’s giving back to her community. Lauren B., a nail-polish fiend for as long as she can remember, earned her stripes in the high-end beauty world while working for Philip B. Botanicals, her uncle’s cult-favorite haircare brand. She leveraged that knowledge to achieve her dream: the perfect, safe, do-it-yourself manicure for busy women. The polishes swipe on expertly and easily, dry fast, and stay glossy and chip-free (truly!) for at least 14 days.

Choosing Proper Tungsten Wedding Bands Can Set Right Styling Statement

Tungsten wedding rings are drawing popularity due to their robust properties. Tungsten is not only durable than other precious metals like gold and platinum, but it is also affordable. By seeing this growing demand, many physical as well online retail stores house a wide range of collections of tungsten rings that are meant for men and women.
Before you purchase a tungsten wedding ring for your marriage, you should know the types of materials used and the designs, so that you can land up with best choice that is useful and fashionable.

Classic Tungsten Wedding Rings

Classic tungsten wedding rings are jewelries, which match up with the conventional style of marriage bands that are typically found in platinum and gold. These wedding rings boast classic designs with various finishes including satin, sandstone brushed and polished, etc. Classic tungsten wedding rings come in conventional width that ranges between 6mm and 8mm.

Gold Zirconium Tungsten Rings

Gold zirconium tungsten wedding bands have cold colored layer, which is plated on them. The color appears to be that of gold. However, the entire ring is not made of gold. Customers, who buy the colored tungsten ring, should take precautions while wearing the same. The plating may develop scratches and may fade with constant wear over long time. Before buying this kind of wedding ring, ensure that the jeweler has the provision for replacing the surface coloring. If you want to know more about such design, you can refer 2015 tungstenrings.com guide and make an apt purchase decision.

Black Tungsten Carbide Wedding Rings

These wedding rings not only appear fashionable, but they are also worn as non-conventional jewelries for those, who prefer something different. Black tungsten wedding rings come in different widths, styles and finishes like matte brushed high lustrous polished appearance, etc.
Nowadays, black ice tungsten ring is reaching its popularity with its color, which is an even mix of black and standard tungsten. This combination gives hue of gunmetal. If you want to draw more knowledge on styles, you can access the cefashion.net guide on tungsten rings.

Chocolate Brown Tungsten Rings

Chocolate brown tungsten ring is a new addition to the tungsten wedding ring market. The chocolate color is similar to that of gold and black, where it is plated on the surface. You can find various patterns of this wedding ring when you go shopping. The color is lustrous in nature and offers a superb look as contrasting inlay.

Carved Tungsten Carbide Rings

Carved tungsten carbide wedding rings are in markets for several years. However, these jewelries are available with few retailers. Carved tungsten is different from laser or etched engraving because the carving is found deep inside the metal.
Celtic wedding rings come in carved designs because the intricate artwork, which is embedded in the metal, looks appealing. This ring looks beautiful with the passage of time, as it becomes dark, which makes the design stand out. Carved tungsten wedding rings cannot be made with colored plating, and they can only be found in polished finish.
Tungsten Wedding Rings Come in Various Sizes
Tungsten wedding bands are generally available in sizes ranging between 6mm to 8mm. The standard widths are found in many retail stores, and these products are targeted toward those, who want affordable and durable rings in traditional styles.
Nowadays, online retail stores have started selling tungsten wedding bands that have broad width and they are fit for men. These masculine bands can be designed by considering the width up to 16mm.
Whichever style you choose, these tungsten wedding bands will help you to adorn a cool fashion statement. When you compare the prices, you will find that online stores offer competitive prices than the traditional retail stores, but not by sacrificing the quality.

Author Bio: Jenny Richards has a great sense of fashion and trendy jewelries. Being a blogger, she gave her best in sharing her opinions about Tungsten Carbide rings – the manufacturing process, advantages, and other information about the topic.

DIY tips from RPZL Headmaster especially for Brides

unnamed-8

Look One: Fishtail Crown Braid
· RPZL clip in extensions are needed to add the extra length and volume. Place the extensions in the direction that the braid will wrap.
Start the fishtail braid at the nape of the head and complete the braid
Attach the braid symmetrically around the head using bobby pins (same color as your natural hair) to secure
Leave a couple of straight strands to frame your face. These can be left straight or curled.
Spray with extra strong hair spray
Add any bridal hair accessories afterwards
An easier alternative to achieve a similar look (if you do not know how to fishtail) is to do a Braided Crown Braid, following the same steps as above, but using a traditional braid!

unnamed-9

Look 2: Sleek and Chic Low Pony
RPZL Clip in hair extensions should be added here for the dramatic length
This look can be done with or without a part
If you want a part, define the part using a comb
If hair is wavy or curly, use a flat iron to get a completely straight finish
Use a pomade to comb hair using a fine-toothed comb
The ponytail is a low pony at the nape
Use a strong elastic to secure the ponytail leaving a small portion of the hair outside of the elastic to wrap around to hide. Secure with bobby pins (same color as your natural hair).
Use a small amount of pomade on the ponytail and finish with extra strength hairspray
An easier alternative to achieving the same look is to use RPZL’s Pony in an Instant! With a simple click, you can achieve the same look. RPZL has the most expansive selection of color, texture and length ponies available and pre-blended options too that are ideal for presenting a natural look. Our Gorgeous Bride is wearing RPZL’s Daring Dark Chocolate!

unnamed-10

Look 3: Romantic Soft Curls
For this look, the hair has to be blow out with a volumizing spray at the crown. No part should be made. The division of the hair needs to be made while drying.
RPZL Clip in hair extensions should be added after drying the hair for a fuller and longer look
Tease the hair at the crown to develop the volume. Cover with a section of hair. The volume here is crucial for any bride wearing a veil.
Wrap a front segment of the hair above the forehead using pomade
Attached the hair in the back of the head at the nape. Use hair pins (same color as natural hair) to secure in place. We recommend a hair accessory to be used here if no veil will be worn.
For the soft curls, use a large barrel curling iron to set open waves. Make sure not to use a small barrel that will produce a tight wave.
Finish with an extra hold hairspray

Luxurious Hand and Foot scrubs from Skyy Hadley

Exfoliating is the removal of surface dry skin cells. Most people focus on exfoliating their legs and arms and don’t realize your hands and especially your feet need to be exfoliated as well. Your hands and feet must be exfoliated in different ways. See below for some at-home remedies from As U Wish Salon Owner, Skyy Hadley to keep your hands and feet silky smooth.

unnamed-4

Coconut Sugar Smooth Hand Scrub:
If your hands feel dry and rough, especially the palms, knuckles, and fingertips, exfoliating several times per week should improve their condition relatively quickly. Exfoliating hands also helps to even out skin tone which is often a common problem with hands, especially as we age. Create a scrub like the one below to exfoliate and moisturize your hands.

Ingredients:
Coconut oil (Tbl Spoon)
Sugar (3/4 Cup)
Olive oil (Tbl Spoon)

Stir mixture together in small jar. Take handful of the scrub and rub into hands. Leave on for a few minutes and rinse in warm water. Follow with a hand moisturizer of your choice. It’s best to do this before bed at night to avoid using your hands a lot after.

unnamed-5

Mint and Tea Tree Oil Foot Scrub
Feet require a more intense treatment to get rid of dead skin. Foot calluses can develop due to daily pressure from workouts, walking and wearing heels. Look for a scrub with a thicker consistency and rougher ingredient included, like sea salt. And after a little pumice stone use, your feet can feel soft, smooth and sandal-ready.

Ingredients:
· Organic Apricot Oil (Tbl Spoon)
· Sea salt (3/4 cups)
· Tea tree essential oil
· Peppermint essential oil

Stir mixture together in small jar. Take handful of the scrub and rub on to the balls of your feet and heels. Use a pumice stone to work the scrub on to the feet. Do this for a few minutes on each foot then rinse off with warm water. Apply a heel and foot lotion to the feet and wear socks immediately after to lock in the moisture

Sally Hansen, You have out done yourself

IMG_1046

One of my favorite brands of Nail Polish is Sally Hansen. Why? Because Sally Hansen Nail Care Products have never let me down. Whether I’m using “Hard as Nails, Insta-Dry, Big Glitter Top Coats or using one of their amazing manicure tools, I always have excellent results. My recent experience with Sally Hansen has been with their new Miracle Gel. Sally Hansen, you have out done yourself. This application requires no gel lights but when complete, the polish looks and feels like it’s a real gel manicure. The best part is you can use regular nail polish remover to take it off, NO SOAKING!!!

Use Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in just two simple steps for long lasting color and beautiful shine. The hardest part was choosing from over 50 gel polish colors. Apply two coats of your favorite color, allow to dry for 5 minutes and then add one coat of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat. The natural light will dry your nails to a hard surface and your nails will look beautiful.
