1. Santize hands and use an e-file with a fine sanding band to
remove excess cuticle and shine off the natural nail. Apply the
Foundation/Builder liquid on all 10 fingernails and let dry.
2. Apply a thin layer of Structure/Base Gel starting from above
the middle of the nail bed to the free edge. Brush back and
forth three times, ensuring it is evenly applied.
3. Dip the nail into the white powder at a 45° angle to create a
smile line. Tap the finger after removal to shake off excess.
4. Dip the entire nail into the pink powder at a 45° angle. Tap to
remove excess each time. Apply a thin layer of Structure/Base
Gel to the entire nail after. Repeat this step for all five fingers.
5. Apply Promoter/Setting Dryer Liquid to the entire nail plate.
Repeat steps 1 - 4 on the other hand.
6. Using a medium nail file, shape the sidewalls to create the
desired shape. Use an e-file to remove imperfections and finish
the arch of the nail. Buff all 10 fingernails.
7. Wash hands (do not use soap), and dry thoroughly. Apply a
medium coat of Promoter/Setting Dryer Liquid to the entire
nail on all 10 fingernails. Dry in front of a fan for 30 seconds.
8. Apply two thin layers of Gloss Top Coat. Fan dry for 60 seconds,
and repeat on the other hand. Apply cuticle oil and massage.

Why decorate only one nail when you can decorate five — or 10 — and
create a winning mural masterpiece? We’re asking all you talented nail
artists to submit your finest designs to NAILS’ Nail Mural Contest. The
winning entry will receive $100!
Murals must depict a continual theme across a series of five or 10
nail tips. Entries can portray any topic — from landscapes to people to
abstract themes. They will be judged on artistry and use of the format.
For inspiration, check out a slideshow of last year’s entries at www.
nailsmag.com/2011mural.
Submissions should be mailed to Nail Mural Contest, 3520
Challenger St., Torrance, CA 90503 and must be received by NAILS by
December 7, 2011. Please include your contact information (including
day and evening phone numbers and e-mail address) along with a brief
explanation of your theme.
Winners will be announced
in the March issue.

There are two ways of achieving smile lines: Traditional
application and Reverse application. The fastest and
easiest way to learn is by mastering the Reverse
technique. This is a Young Nails tradmarked technique that had proven successful around the world.
The greatest benefit of the technique is cleanliness.
Glitter or colored powder can be applied without worrying about
whether it will get on the nail bed. You are guaranteed a faster and sharper
look all the time!

After 22 years of business, Erica’s product line has earned the
reputation of “Simply the Best.” Don’t believe it? Just Google
it! Erica’s electric files and diamond cutting tools are a hot
topic in today’s nail industry.
Erica’s expert staff is here to educate and lead nail techs to
discover the right product for them. Whether you specialize in
pedicures, gels or acrylics, the friendly staff at Erica’s will help
lead you to success. Proud to be an American manufacturer!
The right size of pearl is about half the size of the nail plate
`Placing the product at the cuticle area and letting it run towards
the free edge is going to guarantee proper thickness at the stress area. You
can get the product to self level toward the stress area if the finger is pointing
down. If you are looking down the barrel of the nail after the application, the
thickness should be the same across from side to side.

Like most cutting-edge websites, NailsMag.com tracks ONLY
human, non-robotic traffic, ensuring that your ad is genuinely seen
by a user rather than by a search engine spider (we use independent,
third party vendors to report our site traffic). Ad performance is also
tracked independently, and we have a team of experienced web
professionals who can review your ad material for best practices,
make recommendations based on our SEO experience, and will
provide regular reports on your performance, whether it’s a banner,
e-promotion, or custom program.

E-MAIL marketing
Deliver your customized message directly to the in-boxes of our highly qualified subscribers.
We can produce and deliver an e-mail promotion to more than 26,000 in-boxes. You provide
the material or we can assist with development. E-mail promotions are ideal for company
announcements, calls to action, recruitment, and developing an e-mail list.
Rates: $750 per deployment
Top Deals of the Week e-blast program is designed so nail professionals get a quick read on what’s
“on deal” this week. The e-promotion, which is sent weekly to over 26,000 nail professionals, is
designed by our award-winning art team and resembles editorial. Stop worrying whether your
dealer is hyping your deals and get your message out to your buyers directly.

Custom Online Programs
We can create practically anything your team is able to imagine. We can put together microsites,
landing pages, lead-generation programs, white paper downloads, or something tailored to your
specific company. For a sample of a recent project, visit www.nailsmag.com/90days. We
created a custom e-newsletter for a client that included interactive calculators, a 90-day e-mail
program, banner ads, e-mail address collection, and a hosted microsite.

Nail Art Gallery
The Nail Art Gallery is kind of a cross between Facebook and Flickr — users can
create a personal profile, become a fan of other nail artists, and upload all of their
nail art photos in one easy-to-share place. Our original version of Nail Art Gallery
was the single most popular section of our website, but we felt it had some
limitations. This new version is much improved, allowing users to tag their photos
by the theme or the products they use, and they can browse others’ work easier
as well. Advertising in Nail Art Gallery guarantees you maximum online exposure
to an active professional audience.
Rates: $750-$1800 per month
Channel Sponsorship
NailsMag.com has 6 targeted, topical channels where nail professionals go to read and
learn more about their specialty, whether it’s pedicuring or running a “green salon.” Each
channel features varied content, including feature articles, photo galleries, video, news,
Q&A, and demos. Marketers are welcome to submit any editorial content at no charge.
Current channels include The Conscious Salon (green business practices), E-files (all about
electric files), Nail Art, Feet, and Style (everything from polish colors, nail trends, and
runway fashion). Channels are ideal for generating traffic to your website, increasing
brand awareness, and communicating directly with nail techs.
Rates: Total channel sponsorship is $2500 per month
Blog Sponsorship
NAILS editors, salon coaches, salon owners, competitors, students, and nail techs offer tips and share
their experiences on a wide variety of nail-related issues on 8 original NAILS blogs, including Blueprint
of a First Year, The Coaching Chronicles, From the Editors, Maggie Rants (and Raves), Viet (Salon)
Voice, 365 Days of Nail Art, Competition Insider, and Nails 101: A Student Blog. Sponsorship includes
banner advertising on the blog homepage and logo inclusion in blog promotions. Blog sponsorships
are ideal for branding, creating community, identifying with enthusiasts, and driving traffic.
Rates: $300-$750 per month (3-month commitment required)
Roadblock
Own all of the advertising units on a targeted content page. As a roadblock advertiser you
own all of the advertising real estate that allows you to position your brand with the content
your customers and prospects are specifically looking for.
Rates: $2500 per roadblock

NAILStv
Video can provide an innovative avenue to present your brand. This is an excellent way to
demonstrate your products or introduce your company’s philosophy. A short impactful video
can add visual impact to your overall marketing campaign. NAILS welcomes video submissions
from marketers at NO CHARGE. We have one attention-getting premium position (rotating
with a maximum of three ads) on the NAILStv page. We also offer keyword-logo tags, which
when clicked serve up all videos where your product is mentioned or used. All videos are housed
on our own server, are converted to a web-friendly format, and uploaded by our web team.
Rates: $350-$750 per month
Banners
Attention-grabbing banner options provide you with a very cost-effective way to
build your brand and provide additional impact to your print advertising program.
Banners build brand awareness, drive traffic to your website and can help you develop
highly qualified leads. You can create a dynamic banner ad by adding video, Flash, or
rich media.
Rates: $350-$1800 per month
Rich Media
This includes a wide variety of technology-driven advertisements. Rich media
includes expandable ads, site overlays, floating ads, page takeovers, backgrounds,
cursor ads, and audio ads. These high-impact marketing vehicles can provide an
exciting way of driving new customers to your products. Material for rich media
should be provided by client.
Rates: Depend on specific campaign.
Prestitial
These high-impact advertisements are presented before a content page. Imagine the
results you will receive from a full “page” advertisement that is presented to the visitor
before the visitor actually enters the website. This premium ad placement will bring
your brand and product line to the attention of every targeted web visitor.
Rates are CPM-based.
12
Web Poll Sponsorship
Homepage advertising for a fraction of the price of banner advertising, the monthly web poll sponsorship
gives you homepage recognition, a 100x40 logo, association with a topical question (including a question
of your own design), and regular leads.
Rates: $600 per month
Page Peels
Starting as a page curl in the upper right corner of the home page, when
moused over the page peels down to present a 489x485 advertisement.
This dramatic presentation is certain to bring attention to your brand
and visitors to your website or campaign-specific landing pages.
Rates: $2000 per month
NAILS Magazine Digital Edition
NAILS offers a digital edition of our print magazine (and all supplements), created
with “flip book technology,” which allows you to turn pages as naturally as you would
a print magazine. To see the digital edition in action, go to http://issuu.com/bobit_
nails/docs. The digital edition drives traffic to your site, fosters interactivity with
readers, can help you gather e-mail addresses, do a survey, or conduct a contest. We
can animate your print ad for the digital edition, link up to video or audio files (we
host), or provide custom URLs if you want users to go to specific areas on your site.
Rates: Depend on the features desired.
Web Seminars
Web seminars, or “webinars,” are unbeatable marketing solutions that
target your customers by providing them the industry information they
want and need. Audiences receive real-time interaction with key
industry experts to discuss new solutions and industry trends via live
online presentations. We offer turnkey solutions (where we develop
content, provide a session leader, conduct all pre- and post-webinar
marketing) or “a la carte” options, depending on your need. Web
seminars are guaranteed high-quality lead-generators: When someone
commits to a webinar to view a product demo or hear an online
seminar, they are someone genuinely interested and a potential buyer.
