Shellac Price List

What is Shellac?

It's considered a high bred, between a gel and polish. The nails are manicured and cleaned, and finally Shellac is applied like polish. It is then cured under a UV lamp (like gel). The great thing is that there is no damage done to the natural nail and you walk out dry. It wears for about 2 to 3 weeks without chipping. You then come back in, we use a special remover to take it off. You may then walk out with no color on your nails or have shellac applied again.

$35 for a Shellac Manicure
$45 for a Shellac Pedicure

prices are subject to change.

May Flowers



April Showers bring May flowers. So flowers it is. I decided to learn how to work with fimo clay. It took me a few try's and a little research on how to cut and place them in nails. I found some great resources and tricks of placing these little beauties in different types of nails. But what fun they are. I need to thank my friends who let me play with their nails :)

These nails are embedded with fimo clay flowers the back ground is made up of EZ Flows acrylic and glitter powders. We just keep filling with different colors every fill. If you look close you can see left over flower impressions from a month ago. So much fun!!!

EZ FLOW AND YOUNG NAILS CLASS




What a month March has been. It's hard in WA to find extra education and this month I was lucky enough to attend two classes. To top it off both instructors used me as a model. The nails pictured with the flowers are from EZ flow and the other two pictures are from Young Nails.

Young Nails came to Seattle and we did a back fills for thrills class. Very interesting way of doing back fills, I'm going to have to practice these techniques. I learned how mylar and mixed media can be utilized into colored acrylics, stellito's all I can say is fun fun fun. Could things get any better...well it did.

EZ Flow came to Tacoma and I had a ball !! Color fade acrylics, 3d flowers, roses, edge nails, and impressions. Ohh and did I mention embeddings. My brain is on overload and I cannot wait to get behind the nail table to practice.

Education

March is a busy month for me, as business is picking up again I am looking forward to perfecting my skills with a couple of classes. First is on the 21st I will be attending Young Nails Backfills for thrills. All I know of this company is some of the advertisements I see in all my trade mags. It will be fun learning about a new company and meeting new friends in the nail biz. I can't wait to hear what they have to say.

Then on the 29th I will be attending a design acrylic class. I took this call about 3 years ago but thought a refresher would not hurt. Best of all the class is being held in the city where I live. Can't beat that!!!!

I love the simple elegance of these sculpted gels.
