What is a BB Cream?

September 16, 2019 | Articles, Product Reviews | Leave a Comment

BB Cream, Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm, whichever you choose to call it, I feel it should be a must in any busy woman’s make-up bag. Depending on the type of BB Cream you have (they differ from brand to brand), coverage will range from very light to medium.  The difference between a BB Cream…

One of the biggest (and hardest) lessons I had to One of the biggest (and hardest) lessons I had to learn as a nail tech was not to compare myself to anyone else. 

- Progress is different for everyone, and it only comes with (lots of) practice.
- Each nail tech has a different style.
- Some are good at hand-painted nail art, others are good at something else. 
- Find your unique niche, the place where you're comfortable and have the most fun doing what you love.
- Don't force yourself to try be someone you're not. 
- Don't ever compare yourself to anyone else, you're not them.

See the difference a few years can make ➡

What are the main causes of nail damage? 1. Picki What are the main causes of nail damage?

1. Picking or peeling off gel polish or other product - it takes off layers of the natural nail - nails may even feel soft or sensitive after picking off product.
2. Over-aggressive preparation.
3. Incorrect removal - not soaking for long enough, or filing off too much.
4. Biting nails instead of filing them.
5. Picking cuticles and skin around nails.
