Behind the Scenes: Cutting Edge

by Staff

Lynn Lammers knows a thing or two about perfect nails. After securing the top spot on NAILS’ Top 25 List of competitors for the second year running (and winning the World Championship in Dusseldorf, Germany, earlier this year), she’s on a roll. And she seemingly can do it all — extreme pink-and-whites, colored acrylic designs, fantasy acrylic sculptures are just a few of her specialties.

Nailite’s Soak-Off Gel Toes

by Staff

Nailite’s Soak-Off Gels gently soak off in acetone in 10 minutes or less. The one-step, self-leveling gels can be used on sensitive skin, and are durable, flexible, and easy to use. The gels cure with a 9-watt UV lamp in two minutes and with a 6-watt UV lamp in three minutes.

Dashing Diva’s Perfect French Manicure

by Staff

Dashing Diva’s French Wrap Plus has made it easier than ever to get that perfect smile line. The wraps are put on the nails using the easy application tab, and the ultra-thin French decal is left perfectly on the free edge, with smile line intact and free of brush strokes. The decoration can last after weeks of wear, and works best when combined with Dashing Diva’s Gelife Brush-On Glue and Soak-Off Gels.
