How to Apply Acrylic Nails

By Virginia Reali

The first ten steps in preparing to apply acrylic nails are the most important as these steps will determine success or failure:

1. Clean your hands and spray with anti-bac.
2. Push the cuticles back with an orangewood sticks/cuticle sticks.
3. Lightly buff the shine off the nail with a 100/180 grit file.
4. Apply the tip. Ensure you have selected the correct size for each nail, do this first and lay them out from large to small for each nail. Cut the tip to the desired length.
5. Run line eliminator across the seamline of each tip and blend with a file.
6. Gently buff the shine off the tip (do not do this if you are using airbrushed or tips with a design, only do this for natural coloured tips).
7. Remove all the dust from your nails with a nail brush.
8. Spray the nail again with Anti-Bac spray.
9. Apply Nail Prep to the natural part of the nail - this removes the excess oils from the nail plate. Allow to thoroughly dry.
10. Apply a dab of Primer to the centre of each nail on the natural nail part. Be careful not to get this on the cuticles and only a sparingly small amount is required. Allow to dry thoroughly. The primer sets down the chemical base for the acrylic to adhere to.

You are now ready to apply the acrylic:

1. Put a small amount of monomer (acrylic liquid) into a Glass dappen dish.
2. Dip the brush in about 2/3rds of the way into the monomer in the dish. Wipe the brush on the sides of the dappen to remove the excess liquid.
3. Drag the brush across the surface of the powder forming a medium ball.
4. Allow the liquid to absorb into the ball until a medium-wet consistency is achieved.
5. You are going to divide the nail into 3 parts to apply the acrylic, the top part = area 1, the middle = area 2, the edge of the nail = part 3. Apply the ball to area 1 being careful not to get any acrylic on the cuticle area (if you do this will eventually lead to lifting). Gently press the ball down and smooth out using the brush.
6. Repeat this process with areas 2 and 3, blending each area with the previous area and stroking downwards.
7. Apply one more thin layer over the entire nail.
8. Using the 100/180 file, shape the nail and using the 180 grit side of the file blend the acrylic down into the cuticle area.
9. Remove the dust with a nail brush.
10. Apply cuticle oil and rub into the cuticles.
11. Wash hands.
12. Apply two coats of a good quality top coat to seal.

There is one warning, when you purchase acrylic liquid be sure to ask the supplier if it is free of MMA. MMA is a harmful chemical which is banned in the USA because of the health risks it can cause. MMA also sets the acrylic compound too hard and this will damage your nail.

A Guide to Aging? Not really!

By David Morton

A guide to aging? Not really, because it is going to happen anyway. A few signs of aging do present themselves. We notice a few more wrinkles compared to the photo from last year, and maybe even the year before. But what else do you notice? A number of us notice the ears are seemingly bigger. Yikes! Those darned ear hairs are growing like rope. Is this normal? Nose hairs are now more unruly than ever and certain parts of the body are prone to sagging.

The good news is that these external changes are normal and fortunately none mean that we are unhealthy. All are part of the process of living longer.

Internally, the chemical changes have probably been addressed by your M.D.

But what about other bodily changes? The more aggravating side of aging; tiredness, either more or less need for sleep than we used to require, the loss of libido, aches and pains in parts of our body that we didn’t even know existed, sore joints, sore muscles just seemingly coming from no known cause. Then we get diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes, which incidentally can help explain some of our lethargy. You have changed all your bad habits, and no longer smoke, take illegal drugs, and have even altered your alcohol intake levels. And now you are considering going back to all your old habits because you feel just as bad as you did before you got righteous! But before you do that, consider that even type 2 diabetes, even when chemically controlled, has shown to decrease with exercise. Tiredness can be a sign of not enough exercise. A lack of exercise may also be responsible for excessive joint and muscle pain, lack of stamina and vitality. So try some exercise, gentle ones but on a consistent level. And believe it or not, that is the secret. Consistency! So gird the loins, go for that 5 minute walk and upon your return do these little stretches.

1) Get down on your hands and knees. Arch back upwards, tighten stomach muscles and tuck chin under. Hold for a count of 20. Relax and from starting position repeat 5 times.
2) Sitting up with legs out in front, reach along one leg with the hand on same side until a comfortable stretch is felt in the back of the leg. Hold for a count of 20. Keep legs straight. DO NOT BOUNCE. Do this 3 times, alternating with the other hand and leg.
3) Standing, grab your ankle with the same side hand and pull it towards the buttocks until a stretch is felt. The other hand may stabilize you against a wall or chair if needed. Hold for a count of 20. Repeat with the other leg. Once is enough.

Try these few little stretching exercises for a week, and if you feel they help, search for more. So get up off that couch and start living again!

Bikini Waxing 7 Reasons Why You Should Have One

By Kelly Price

Summers upon us and the bikini’s will be out so its time to consider the advantages of pubic hair waxing the two most common are the Bikini wax and the more extreme Brazilian wax.

For a woman with a lot of pubic hair, a bikini wax has advantages when wearing a thong, string bikini, or other skimpy swim suit or any other revealing lingerie. Your bikini line is smooth and attractive – This is not the only advantage though and in this article we will look at all the advantages in more detail.

Pubic waxing history

It’s certainly not new and has been around for thousands of years and women were waxing in ancient Greece, Persia and India just to name a few countries where women engaged in waxing.

The procedure

To perform a bikini wax, a waxer applies warm wax to a woman's pubic area; places cloth strips on top of the wax, and then removes them when the wax hardens by pulling the cloth strips off the skin taking the pubic hair with it.

Often a small thatch of hair is left above the vagina unlike the Brazilian wax where all the hair is removed so if you are a wax virgin the Bikini wax is less daunting

1. Hygiene

One of the main reasons for considering waxing the pubic hair region is not vanity but it’s hygienic. Pubic hair can get moist and hot and attracts germs this can lead to bad odors and a variety of skin irritations.

Shaving off the pubic hair will dramatically reduce the risk of these problems occurring in the first place.

2. Freedom

Skimpy bikinis, tight lingerie any clothing that is revealing in the pubic region can be worn with confidence without the embarrassment of unsightly pubic hair being revealed.

3. Its Sexy

Women have reported that orgasms can be more intense and oral sex more pleasurable after waxing and men simply love it and the overwhelming majority find it sexually attractive.

4. Its Not Expensive

Today a Bikini wax treatment at a salon or spa is not just for the wealthy. With the rise in the popularity of people waxing salons are offering it as a standard beauty treatment and prices have dropped dramatically.

You can get DIY Waxing kits to wax from home for both Brazilian or Bikini but if you have never waxed before are best off to use a professional waxer in a salon or spa to avoid accidents!

5. It only takes 30 min

In about 30 minutes a skilled professional waxer will have the treatment done so it’s really like having your nails done in terms of time. Like your nails though you need treatments on a regular basis (every 4 – 6 weeks) as pubic hair re grows.

6. Pain

The pain is not as bad as many women think it will be – it’s tolerable for most women. Another point to keep in mind is, as you have more waxing treatments the pain level drops down, as your skin becomes used to the treatment.

7. It prepares you for

The Brazilian wax!

Many women want to go for the full Brazilian wax – which removes all the pubic hair, however the bikini wax is less extreme and if you have one, you can then get a taster of what’s in store when going for waxing Brazilian style!

What is there not to like about bikini waxing?

All women should consider it in light of the following:

It’s hygienic, sensual, liberating, its cheap to do and takes very little time.

It should be considered by all women and if you do have a bikini wax, not only will you love it your partner will to!

Wrinkle Cream - Giving You The Youthful Looks!

By Joey River

Wrinkle creams offer all those women who do not want wrinkles to show on their face, a great relief. Wrinkles are an indication of aging and something that no woman would accept. Today, with the advancement in science, we find that we have the most effective range of wrinkle creams than ever before. Wrinkle creams are available for all types of skin and weather.

The reason behind why we get wrinkles is aging. Wrinkles are more conspicuous after we reach the age of forty. These keep on growing more and more after each decade passes, showing that we are aging. Wrinkle creams are a harmless and healthy way to remove or reduce the wrinkles effectively.

As we age, skin starts losing its ability to retain moisture. This causes dryness of skin. This happens especially on those parts of the body, which have been most exposed to the Sun. Also, as we age, not just the moisture but the level of collagen also depletes in the skin. The rate at which dermal cells were dividing and forming new cells, which kept the elasticity of the skin intact, also falls down; there is a loss of elastin, which causes general loss of firmness of skin. This makes the skin look loose and thin, the skin is not firm anymore.

There are several other treatments, other than wrinkle cream, which can restore your youthful looks. These are the botox injections, face uplift. The problem with these treatments is that it requires a lot of money for you to get the treatment done. Another thing is that it requires surgery which is neither affordable nor very advisable.

Therefore, for all those who do not want to undergo surgery neither want to spend lot of money, wrinkle creams offer the best respite. Wrinkle creams should be chosen with care and by making sure that these are effective. There are many manufacturers of wrinkle creams today, though the number of manufacturers is high, hardly a handful of them are able to fulfill the promises they make.

Buying wrinkle creams should be bought only after knowing the facts, wrinkle creams should be able to remove dead skin cells and therefore it would be better if you choose one which contains alpha hydroxyl acids. Secondly, the wrinkle cream should try to boost the production of collagen. When the collagen production is restored, the skin will automatically retain moisture and help even out wrinkles.

There are different types of wrinkle cream for different skin types. It would be better and do you most good if you bought the one according to your skin type.

Wrinkle cream is the best, safest and the most economical way to make wrinkles disappear, some of these creams with their composition of natural extracts and skin improving formula might be able to give your skin a beautiful glow. Now you can look as young as you are at heart with the help of the new wrinkle cream.

A New Skin with Dermabrasion?

By Chris Donovan

The great range of medical procedures that can be found and applied today is impressive, without any doubt. All types of methods, treatments and surgical procedures that are meant to make us look better and, eventually feel better about ourselves sound very tempting. We can get a new face, we can get a new body and we can even get a new skin. An Improved skin, a better looking skin – this is precisely what the dermabrasion procedure offers.

But is it really that easy? What does the dermabrasion procedure imply? Is there any pain, any risks? And how effective are the actual results of dermabrasion? Let’s take things slowly. For starters, dermabrasion is not an easy procedure, or, clearer said, it is an actual cosmetic/surgical procedure applied to the skin and that requires a general anesthetic. The reason for this type of anesthesia is that dermabrasion is a very painful procedure. Dermabrasion implies the use of a surgical sander that helps in removing the surface skin layer and this precisely what makes dermabrasion that painful.

Furthermore, even though a general anesthetic is used, the patient needs to remain remotely conscious during the dermabrasion procedure. In the recent years, the sander has been replaced with certain lasers, which present some advantages, including the fact that the patient does not bleed during the dermabrasion procedure.

But what is dermabrasion used for? Dermabrasion is used for a wide range of skin and aging problems, such as deep wrinkles (especially the ones located above the upper lip), scars (mainly relief scars and not deep scars) and acne effects. In some cases, the patients need more than one dermabrasion treatment in order to get the results their desire. More pain, more money, but the numerous individuals who are interested in the dermabrasion procedure seem to believe it is worth it. Sure, just like any medical procedure of this type, dermabrasion might present some complications and negative effects, such as irritations and infections, as well as scaring, in case the abrasion is too aggressive.

One of the most unpleasant aspects that occur when opting for dermabrasion is the long recovery. Basically, the patient does not get the expected results right away – what he/she gets is a raw and red aspect of the face - but only several months after the dermabrasion procedure. Only then, the skin gets its tight, smooth and glowing look that the patient desires. In the meantime, the patient needs to avoid sun and to respect a great number of indications in order to avoid complications and to heal properly. Even though the great results in removing scars and marks seem to be sufficient enough when considering dermabrasion, the adjacent effects must be considered, as well, in order to make a responsible and fully informed decision.

Dermabrasion For Skin Rejuvenation

By Tom Disouza

If you are searching for solutions for your acne scars for a long time, dermabrasion is the perfect answer for removing your acne scars. Dermabrasion is an ablative surgery procedure, which physically abrades the epidermis and dermis of your skin in a controlled fashion using a fine wire brush or a diamond fraise. Besides using the dermabrasion technique for your scars you can also go for it for removing your facial rhytids and for treating various other skin conditions troubling you. The ablation in a dermabrasion rejuvenates the skin by stimulating the production of new layers of skin.

As a surgery procedure dernabrasion needs a lot of care before and after. Preparing for dermabrasion surgery is as important as the actual surgery itself.

Preparing the skin before the procedure

Preparation for dermabrasion includes the application of ointments such as Retin-A to be applied to the area every night before going to bed. In case you are prone to cold sores, the doctor may prescribe you a course of antiviral pills a few days before the dermabrasion surgery. You should not be taking Accutane for the past eighteen months, if you have so you will not be considered for the procedure. Similarly, dermabrasion cannot be performed for a minimum of 6 months, preferably up to 1 year, after taking oral isotretinoin. Its use needs to be stopped well before the surgery.

You need to tell your cosmetic surgeon about any herbal supplements that you may be taking as some of these supplements may interfere with anesthesia and cause problems during the surgery because of their blood thinning properties. Even some over-the-counter vitamins can be hazardous to you, for example vitamin E, which reduces your body’s ability to clot blood. Similarly, you may have to discontinue the use of anti-depressants.

Just before the dermabrasion is performed for acne scars under anesthesia, your skin will be pretreated with an ice pack for 20 to 30 minutes and sprayed with the a liquid refrigerant. Most dermabrasion procedures for scar treatment are performed using local anesthesia with or without the sedative. Your cosmetic surgeon may also give you some medication.

As great care needs to be taken for dermabrasion before and after, a great degree of care is also needed while moving the diamond fraises or wire brushes and controlling the depth of the ablation.

Care after dermabrasion

Wrapping your skin with the bandage after the dermabrasion is an absolute priority. The dressing may need to be changed and sterile bandages and tape should be used every time. Your skin may start re-epithelializing after 5–7 days of proper post-operative dressings and care. Some residual erythema for up to 4 weeks is common which gradually subsides.

Risk and complication after the surgery can be avoided completely if you comply with pre- and post-operative medicines and meticulous wound care. A scab or crust forms over the treated area as it begins to heal. You face may itch as new skin starts to grow from beneath.

Using Fatty Tissue for Breast Augmentation

Using fatty tissue for breast augmentation is a technique that has not received much attention recently, but it is definitely an approach you should know about.

The process of this particular breast augmentation procedure requires that fatty tissue be removed from various parts of the body and injected into the breast. In the same way that saline and silicone implants are used to enlarge the breast, the patients own fat tissue is utilised to perform this procedure. The reasons for following this route are varied, but no less complicated than using traditional methods of breast enlargement.

Safety is the overriding issue when contemplating any form of cosmetic surgery. The national society of plastic surgeons should be consulted when deciding on a suitable doctor for performing your procedure. It is always wise to consult a number of surgeons before making a final choice. The risks should be discussed fully with your chosen doctor, who must answer your questions fully and explain the process to your satisfaction. As you have your own reasons for embarking on the surgery, you should discuss these with your doctor to ensure that your expectations will be met. Some of the reasons why women decide to have surgery are to be more proportional, to reshape or enlarge breasts that have lost shape or to balance breasts that are asymmetrical.

The use of fatty tissue for augmentation is not widespread as the number of surgeons who offer this method are limited. The risks associated with the use of your own fat include infection, bleeding as well as irregular shape and size. The success of this method relies on the quality of the fat tissue removed, as well as the cannula used to remove fat, the processing of the removed fat, the method of technique used to ingest the fat, as well as the post-operative treatment. It is important that follow up visits to X-ray the breasts as well as to take biopsy of the transplanted tissue occur for at least a year.

Due to the various problems experienced by utilising fat transplant in enlargement procedures, it is not a recommended procedure. It is more commonly used in the rejuvenation and enhancement of the facial areas. It is less commonly used in the buttocks and lower body. Despite the fact that the results are far from satisfactory, a number of patients undergo the procedure each year. The survival of fat tissue transplanted from one area to another is considered to be a chance not worth taking by a growing number of surgeons.

Unless you are dead set on utilising fatty tissue augmentation and have found a reliable board certified surgeon to perform the procedure, I suggest you consider the safer alternatives available to you.

How To Apply Eye Makeup

The same basic steps are used when you apply eye makeup, How To Apply Eye Makeupwhether you go for nude makeup or the seductive, smoky eye look. You change your look by your choice of colors.

2. A medium shade which would be the main color you would use.
3. A dark shade for the shadows.

  • Apply your foundation first over your entire face before you start on your eye makeup. You need a good canvas to work with.
  • Apply an eyeshadow primer from lash to brow to make your eye makeup last. You can skip this step if you prefer.
  • Using a makeup brush or eyeshadow sponge, apply the medium shade from lashes to the crease of your eyelid.
  • Draw a line as close to your upper lashes as possible with your eyeliner, from inner corner, to the outer corner of your eye. For smoky eyes, draw a thick line. Use an eye pencil to darken your lower lash line as well.

The Best Anti-Aging Treatments

The best antiaging treatmentsQueen’s famous song, “Who Wants To Live Forever”, is certainly appropriate in today’s youth-obsessed age. Billboards, magazines, television commercials and radio ads are constantly bombarding us with new ways to look and feel younger. Although we may not want to actually live forever, most of us would certainly like to look a little younger throughout life’s journey. Fortunately, anti-aging treatments are more widely available now than ever before.

Traditional methods such as exercising regularly and eating healthy foods are still very beneficial to slowing the aging process. These should form a part of everyone’s weekly routine as healthy outward appearances begin within. Weight training helps to restore muscle tone and strengthen the bones. This may prevent osteoporosis and the chance of bone fractures later in life. Healthy food choices ensure our body receives all the necessary vitamins and minerals that are essential to our well being.

However, with today’s increase in sun exposure, chemical pollution and food additives, we need all the help we can get to fight the signs of aging. Therefore, you may want to consider one of the vast array of anti-aging creams, lotions, pills or drops available. Most large cosmetics companies now offer a line of products specifically targeted to reduce the visible signs of aging. For example, Hydroderm has created a product for reducing wrinkles, another for combating cellulite, and one for restoring the body’s moisture levels. All of these are meant to slow down the inevitable aging process.

If you are searching for a more permanent solution, you may want to inquire into plastic surgery or medical procedures such as liposuction, face-lifts or tummy tucks. Less invasive procedures include collagen or Botox injections, chemical peels or laser skin resurfacing. More and more clinics are offering these services, but you need to make sure you go to a qualified professional.

We can’t stop the aging process, but we can definitely slow it down. Make sure you continue to exercise regularly, make healthy food choices and find a brand of anti-aging products that works well for you. If the saying “you are only as old as you feel” is true, you just may be able to become 29 again…

Daily Wear Make-Up and Beauty Tips for You

Daily wear makeup and beauty tips for youI don’t know about the rest of you out there, but I HATE wearing make-up every single day. Am I right? I’m not sure which part I hate the most. I hate waking up earlier than normal to put it on and make sure I did it right. I hate the way it feels after wearing it for ten hours. I hate coming home and going through all the trouble of taking it all off, just to reapply it the very next morning. It all gets very monotonous.

It’s not easy being beautiful. It isn’t a simple task having to apply make-up on a daily basis and still maintain that new and fresh look everyone knows you for. Make-up worn everyday isn’t very good for your skin, either. That’s what we’re here for. Here are some tips from the experts at Makeuptip.com to help you with some of the above mentioned problems:

• Always remember that if you use make-up on a daily basis you should use only quality products. Wearing the cheap stuff everyday isn’t very healthy for you. Therefore choosing the right brand is an important step as it is directly related to your skin care and health.

• For daily makeup, powder make-up is preferred because it not only keeps the shine under control but also contains less preservatives and skin irritants as compared to their liquid cousins.

• If you cannot avoid using liquid foundation, then try to pick one with a silicone base. They are less likely to instigate a touch of acne.

• If you apply make-up daily, you also need to remove it daily. You may need to use a make-up remover. Remember that when using remover to clean out waterproof make-up, it also wipes out the protective layer of sebum from the skin; therefore you should use waterproof cosmetics only occasionally.

• You should never use make-up that has crossed its expiry dates because it could be extremely harmful. Normal life span of make-up:

  • Mascaras: about three to four months
  • Foundations: last for one year
  • Lipsticks: last for one year
  • Powder: last for about two years
  • Eye shadows: last for about two years. You should also clean make-up brushes and sponges regularly.
• Pencil eyeliner and eyebrow pencils that are wax based should be preferred because they can be cleaned off easily by using water only.

• Light earth tones are preferable since they not only give a natural look but are also less likely to cause a skin irritation than some of the darker tones.

• You should stick with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. A sunscreen with an SPF15 or higher and with ingredients such as zinc oxide is very effective in avoiding UVA rays.

• For a quick at-home pedicure, scrape the dead skin off the soles of your feet after a shower using an emery board. Next, rub them with lotion and push back the cuticles of your toenails.

The key thing to remember is to find a look and a routine you are comfortable with and one you like. If you’re not comfortable using a certain type of make-up, then why would you wear it? Daily makeup helps us feel more confident, and nothing is sexier than self-confidence.
