Allure's September 2014 Beauty Reporter gives us some insight into what we can expect from the nails front as we get into cooler months.
The agenda for nails is a spectrum of reds--and a few blues--on the cooler side. The darker red is Jason Wu for Lancome Vernis in Love in Fuchsia Veneer and the brighter red is Essie nail polish in Russian Roulette. The blue is Milani Nail Lacquer in Tattle Teal.
Plus, we can expect everyone to be talking about Christian Louboutian's new polish collection - if just for the outrageous bottles. "The bottle is not practical. But just as a high heel slows your walk, this long cap obliges you to take some time to paint your nails," Louboutian says. Clockwise the colors are: Lady Page, Miss Loubi, Batignolles, Lova, Bengali, Mula Lisa, and Zermadame.
Finally, Sally Hansen's two-step Miracle Gel nail polish is the gel du jour. It doesn't need to be cured under a special light, it has a supershiny finish, lasts up to two weeks, and comes off with regular polish remover! What a win. Allure's tester tried out the polish for herself saying after nine days, the polish was only worn away a bit at the edges. Tried and tested! The color is Red Eye.
Before a client has even sat down, she has decided whether your salon has its act together, and scent is the one piece of that first impression most salons leave to chance. Aura House co-owner Leif Frey makes the honest case for ambient scent in a salon, including why ventilation, not fragrance, is the answer to fumes. Plus, the four decisions that matter more than which scent you pick.
