Make your Manicure last!!!

Frustrated that your Manicure doesn't last? Wish you could get 5 days without a chip?
Here a few tips for after your Manicure to make it last!

1) For long wear choose a lighter shade, Dark shows everything!
2) Pick and choose when you really need to wash dishes, clothes, kids and anything else that cause hands to submerge in the water for periods of time
3) Don't pick at anything! Nails, skin, pimples, scabs, dried counter goop or open beer cans.
4) Apply a Top Coat 2-3 days after your Manicure to ensure long wear.
(OPI Top Coat is available to order send me an email if you need some)
5) Get healthier nails with a monthly Mani and weekly mini or polish change. This will keep your nails, cuticles and hands in great condition. The more your nails are painted the better you are at protecting them!
Good Luck!

The Tips about waxing everyone should know....

So the other day I was working out with my cousin at Rep 1 fitness. We were talking about waxing (this is very common in my group of friends) and the more we talked the more I realized that people aren't educating their clients as much as they should.

So here's some things you need to know about waxing.

1) Upper Lip and Back are the most sensitive and reactive on the whole body

2) Hair should be about 1/4 of an inch to pull it out by the root, the more you wax, the smaller the root so you don't need to let the re-growth grow as much

3) The more you wax, the less the hair grows back. For example waxing your lip will not make it grow in more, darker or faster! I get asked this ALL THE TIME

4) Waxing regularly, every 4-6 weeks will make it less painful. Longer hair, means bigger root, which means more pain!

5) Exfoliating regularly will lessen your ingrown hairs. Sometimes for the bikini area, the tighter and lacier the underwear the more ingrown hairs you may be susceptible too. Use PFB Vanish everyday to prevent and diminish them. Don't pick if it is blind, you'll make a bigger mess of it. If you can see the hair just below the surface, after your shower gently squeeze. If it doesn't come out leave it to the professionals.

6) Shaving in between is a waste of your money on waxing. Book your next appointments ahead of time to avoid the last minute razor incidents

7) First time waxers will have 3 different hair growths. It is going to take  3-5 times to get everything on the same cycle.

Be patient it will come good I promise!

Remember not to have really hot showers, steams or hot tubs right after and if you have any more questions ask your Esthetician!

Go Canucks Go

Well we may not have the weather we were hoping for but at least we have something to cheer for. Canucks in the Stanley Cup Finals!!
You don't have to look for fans, they are everywhere. On game day ever bank teller at the RBC was wearing a jersey, even the women who took my dry cleaning was wearing a shirt to support the Blue.
It may not be the correct shade, (as that colour isn't the most flattering on the skin).
Try Chanel's 461 Blue Satin, it is elegant, Blue and my idea of fashionable way to support our Canucks!

Closet Cleansing

So normally I Blog about nails, polish and work stuff, but what you are about to read was so fantastic I needed to share.

The lovely and beautiful Jessie Carlson arrived at 10:30 yesterday morning for what I now determine to be the closet cleansing. We spent 2 hours quite intensely, going through my wardrobe. I tried on everything I owned and she Yeah or Nayed it. I consider myself to have a fairly good sense of style and what works but over the past 2 years I have been doing A LOT of shopping. Jessie in the sweetest and most polite way told me when things didn't look their best or possibly something else I had looked better. Some things maybe "dated" or "worn"were put in the cabin pile, other pricey, hardly worn pieces in the Dragon and Phoenix pile and the remainder to be donated to Wish, The Women of the Downtown East side. She made a shopping list of items my closet was missing ie. black pencil skirt, but also in the order of necessity. So the brown belt and thin black belt as well as some summer heels come before the skirt. I think the thing I most benefited form was her ability to put together some outfits I would never have tried. As I shop mostly 1 piece here and 1 piece there I rarely buy the whole ensemble at once. Thanks Jessie, I feel lighter and even more organized if that's possible.

I wanted to share this with all of you as Jessie is professional and a dream to have into your home and personal space.
Check her out at http://www.jessiecarlson.com/ and maybe you too will get excited to see a new Blog on her website!

Perfect for matching


That's right, Chanel Black Pearl!!!!!!!
Hard to get find but well worth the chase. This season Blus and Metallic are making a comeback, if you don't fancy either at least give this one a go. It has more to offer than your plain old OPI You Dont Know Jacques or Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees, but less Rock and Roll then your Black Onyx or Chanel Black Satin. Try it under the Katy Perry Shatter or on its own. It is the perfect "in between season colour" to go with absolutely anything in your closet. SpaMobile carries OPI and some of the seasons hottest from Chanel.
