the nailfiles For our professional nail enhancement specailists September - October 2012 Young Nails mani•Q Education Updates Warm Hearts, Warming Lives 2012 hands that care Campaign Nail Technician’s Warm Hearts, Warm Hands It’s fall, the childen are going back to school and that familiar chill is creeping into the mornings. Too quickly that chill will transform into frost and it will be time to prepare for winter. We pull out our mittens, scarves and hats to warm us from the elements, taking for granted the inventory of winter accessories we pick through. There are many families that do not have a mitten box to sort through, they struggle to outfit their children as well as themselves during our harsh winter months. Sabrina Courtoreille , Education Leader with nailbasics and salon owner of Dynamic Beauty in Spruce Grove, Alberta, came to nailbasics with her vision of an annual campaign that would help families in need by collecting mittens and gloves to donate to local charities. In 2011, participating Nail Technicians and salons were able to collect 1,626 pairs of mittens and gloves that were donated to 18 different charities across our province! Each year the participation of nailbasics Nail Technicians and salons grows and we are able to help more charities! This years Hands that Care campaign will begin on Tuesday, October 9, 2012 and run until Friday, December 7, 2012. All participants receive one of our Hands that Care tote bag that you collect your donations in, posters for the salon environment that explain the campaign and Client Reminder cards to use while the event runs! The campaign is open to all nailbasics technicians and salons. You can participate by contacting your Education Leader or by requesting a Hands that Care campaign kit via e-mail to Joy at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing what we will collect this year! Follow us on Facebook at facebook/nailbasics.ca for updates on our Hands that Care campaign! Behind the Desk by Kathi To Soak or Not to Soak? I n July Tim, Tessa and I attended the CosmoProf North America Show. As I walked the floor it was obvious the new trend is the “soak off” gel polish. nailbasics has always been known for keeping up with the trends of today’s market. Yet, we do not carry a line of “soak off” gels at this time. Why doesn’t nailbasics carry a “soak off” gel polish? We acknowledge the gel polished nail is what everyone is looking for. What we have been looking for is a gel polish that does not need to be soaked off in acetone. The soak off process is done by wrapping the fingernail and tips in acetone saturated sleeves or directly soaking the nail and fingertip in acetone, this procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes. This process is usually done every week or two, leaving the fingernail and surrounding tissue environment susceptible to severe dehydration, the loss of the ph balance causing the cuticle and hyponycium to become susceptible to infection (paronychia) and separation of the nail bed (onycolisis). At nailbasics we have always promoted the health of the natural nail and caring for the surrounding tissue, fingertips and hands. As far as keeping up with the gel polish trend, we have been busy for the past several months testing various gel polish lines. Our criteria, first and foremost is to have a product that has the option of easily filing off without gumming up your bit and possibly damaging the natural nail. The product must not contain any nitroceluos, it must be colored with pigment powder, not polish. Using the pigment powder to create the color ensures that there will not be separation in the bottle. We are looking for a one coat coverage and most importantly, the product must have the ability to cure in an Ultra Violet light as opposed to an LED light. LED lights are most often required to cure soak off gel polish, they are quick (1030 seconds) yet very expensive. We are excited to announce that there is a gel polish line that meets all of our criteria.... Young Nails mani•Q is our “hands down” gel polish that does everything we want it to and best of all cures in your ultra violet light!
