“I am different when my nails are done. I am more dynamic. I gesticulate more, I am better at scaring my staff. I can indicate impatience by drumming on tabletops and I can wrap up a meeting with a few choice clatters.” –Marian Keyes
The Trick
For the past few seasons, nail art has been heavily featured in the world of beauty and we are pleased to see that the trend is set to continue well into Spring. Now, American nail brand, Sally Hansen, offers a unique way to obtain a modest yet artistic look from the comfort of your own sofa.
The Magnetic Nail Color formula has been developed with metallic particles so that when the built-in magnet is held over the nail, iron filings in the formula gravitate towards it, revealing an almost 3-D, brushed steel pattern. These lacquers offer a way to subtly dabble in the world of nail art with elegant and understated results.
The Tip
To make your nail polish last as long as possible, soak a cotton pad in nail polish remover and wipe away any excess grease and dirt that may lie on the nail bed. Apply a thin layer of clear base coat to smooth out the surface and prevent staining and then apply two coats of your chosen color. Finish with a clear topcoat. Re-apply the topcoat every other day to protect your polish and prevent chipping and fading.
