Cosmopolitan's July 2012 issue shares three easy nail ideas to jazz up your client's fingertips for summer.
1. Nail Sprinkles - The latest innovation, according to Cosmo, makes nails look like they've been dipped in Funfetti.
Use a kit, like Ciate Caviar Manicure, that comes with sprinkles and base color. Shake some sprinkles onto a paper plate or napkin. Then working one nail at a time, apply two thin coats of the base hue and immediately roll your nail into the sprinkles, which stick to the base.
2. Magnetic Polish - Newer magnetic polishes come in interesting patterns, like fishnet, as well as colors, like green, and fuchsia.
Apply a coat to all fingers. Then one at a time, apply a second coat and hold the magnet over the nail for 10 seconds while it draws the paint's metallic particles to the surface.
3. The Half-Neon, Half-Nude Mani - Inspired by the fashion trend of mixing brights with neutrals, this mani makes florescent hues universally wearable.The beige tempers the neon, so it looks softer, almost candy-like.
Start with two coats of nude polish. Once dry, alternate neon pink, orange, and yellow, like Essie's Bazooka, onto the top half of tips. For a crisp line, use barrier gel on the halfway point pre-neon.

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.
