Not too long ago, I came across this awesome gel product known as “Bio Seaweed Gel” from a piece of writing on Stylelist.com.

The USA made Bio Seaweed Gel but based in Canada is probably the best alternative on the market today, and it is 5-FREE! It is a healthy alternative to safe nail polish. In addition to being free of the 5 dangerous substances seen in many gel and nail polishes, it also has a unique ability to cure under natural sunlight!

Despite having this unique ability to cure in daylight, it also replicates that ability with an LED light in half a minute. Having a unique platform cover is not necessary and the extra bonus…. You don’t have to clean the top coat!  Yeah!  There’s no difficult remains that needs to be eliminated when done with your manicure!

After the DND nail polish, white, black and yellow have become a combination that I’ve fallen in love with. I remember seeing a nail art tutorial on YouTube and I’ve been inspired ever since. I just wish I could. I’m sorry I cannot search for the video URL right now. This exact same combination was again used by VOV and the dark lines were drawn using sketch pens designed for nail art.

If given the opportunity, what color of nail polish would want to be? Why does it seem that everyone else believes we only use reds and pinks? Or extreme light shades of nudes, reds and pinks?

I was thinking the other day while in the fingernail salon, if everyone went by what style experts say on fingernail enhancement, everyone would be dressed in nail polish colors that complement their complexion. We understand everybody opts for what rocks their boats eventually. Fashion experts keep a variety of extremely stylish nail polish shades out, especially the ones that are not boring.

These folks called “Style Experts” believe whatever Kiara Sky nail polish color you wear should be based why you are wearing it, what you do for a living, what you wear in general and your skin tone. I only agree with one section. Say if you are attending a black-tie event, putting on a red nail polish seems too off unless it matches your gown for the evening.

Now, who made up the concept that you only use black nail polish during the winter, light shades in springtime and shiny ones in the summertime? Does this mean if you choose to wear dark nail polishes all year long, you have broken the laws of fashion?

This could be as a result of not wanting to be stuck with a shape you don’t like due to constant changing. Or it could be you feel your current nail shape best describes you.

Both outcomes are completely true but let us consider the second reason. Your nail shape does not reflect your personal style; it also tells people who you really are.

Below is an analysis of some nail shapes:

  • Sharp Stiletto Nails: This best describes the rebellious (fashion wise). This is the kind of nail shape for women who don’t mind looking or being different, being trendsetters and are completely aware of what’s going on.

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS:

To get more shiny hair, make omega-3 part of your diet,  which improves scalp health and could also give your hair extra glow and lustre, according to Nina DiBona. The stratum corneum is the exterior part of the skin and it relies on eicosapentaenoic acid, linolenic acid and alpha which are necessary fatty acids in the body to function properly.
