Perfectly Manicured Nails For Brides

Are you going to have perfectly manicured nails in your close-up photos holding your groom's hand, showing off your new wedding band? You should!Many new brides can't wait for the day trip with their maids/matrons of honor and the bridesmaids and do the whole beauty salon scene - hair, nails, feet, facials. But depending on where you live, that may cost a fortune.And unless you get your nails done with an acrylic or gel overlay on a consistent basis and you're used to long or even active length nails, you may want to skip the expense of the nail tips at the salon and invite your ladies over for an afternoon of home manicures.Here's your basic manicure kit to get those perfectly manicured nails. These items can be found at just about any department store or beauty supply store like Sally's Beauty Supply, if you don't already have them at home.

Non-acetone polish remover

Cotton balls or Gauze pads (I actually prefer the gauze squares to cotton balls)

Cuticle oil with vitamin E

Cuticle sticks/pushers (which can also be used to remove polish from the skin)

Emery board/nail shaper

Nail Buffer Block

Clear base/top coat

Nail polish/lacquer in your choice of colors

Tip ~ Use a nail lacquer instead of a nail polish. Lacquers last twice as long and resist chipping and wear better than an ordinary Polish.

# Nail polish dryer fan

Tip ~ Battery operated nail polish dryers are very inexpensive and a great investment for the home manicurist. Just put your fingers under the dryer for 60 seconds between each coat and you'll be sure not to smudge the polish.
Now on with the manicure!
If you already have nail polish on, use a non-acetone polish remover and either cotton balls or gauze pads to remove the polish.

Wash your hands in lukewarm water with a mild soap then dry completely with a soft towel.

Massage cuticles with cuticle oil to soften and moisturize.

Use a wooden cuticle stick and gently push cuticles back - do not cut the cuticles but simply push them back away from the nail bed. Wipe excess cuticle oil off your nails.

Wash your hands again with warm soapy water to remove the oils, and dry thoroughly.

Use the emery board to trim and shape your nails, then buff smooth with the buffer.

For the perfect manicured nail look, apply a base coat first. Let dry for at least 60 seconds before applying the first color coat of polish.

Apply two coats of color polish, drying for at least 60 seconds between each coat.

Use a clear topcoat to prevent chipping and wear to the color.

Finish with either a finishing spray or OPI Drip Dry oil to speed up the drying process followed by at least a final 60 to 90 seconds under the dryer or longer.
Quick fixes: Keep your perfectly manicured nails while fixing any mistakes to your manicure, like polish on the skin around your nail, by dipping a wooden cuticle stick in nail polish remover then gently rubbing the skin until the polish is removed.You can even do this carefully as you polish, provided you don't miss and swipe the cuticle stick across the polished nail!You can also buy purchase a nail polish corrector pen which uses the same process of gently rubbing the skin until the polish is removed.I would advise against using any type of cotton swab on a fresh manicure as you might end up with cotton pieces stuck to your skin or fresh nail polish.Suggestions:
Perfectly manicured nails look best with nail lacquers. The best nail lacquers I've found on the market are OPI and China Glaze, available at most beauty supply stores like Sally's and also on eBay, where I've actually gotten my best deals.OPI has a bridal line called " Fairytale Bride SoftShades by OPI" which has an array of beautiful soft shades to compliment almost any bride's colors.China Glaze's Romantique line is also full of lovely bridal colors.

The Difference Between Botox and Dermal Fillers

Enquiring minds want to know, "what is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?" Stop wrinkling your brow and wonder no more, after all you don't want those lines to become permanent, do you?Dermal fillers are types of injectable cosmetics, intended to provide temporary solutions to minor facial skin problems and skin irregularities. Injected just under the skin by a qualified medical practitioner, dermal fillers can smooth out lines, creases and wrinkles by, well, filling them in or plumping them up. The most common dermal filler in use is a brand called Restylane. This has been around much longer than most of the other brands, and has a very good safety profile.Botox (which is derived from Botulinum Toxin A, but don't be worried as it's perfectly safe in this form) is a very effective anti wrinkle treatment, and is also introduced to the face via injection. Botox effectively relaxes your facial muscles (including, perhaps, the ones that are creating those creases in your forehead from wondering too much) and smoothes out your skin, eliminating deeper lines, creases and wrinkles.Dermal fillers are more suitable for individuals wanting to get rid of lines and creases that are not too deep, or reduce the appearance of other facial skin imperfections, such as scars from acne spots. These are also very popular for non-surgically filling in dips and depressions on the nose bridge. Fillers also can be used for plumping up lips that are asymmetrical, or simply to give one more of a pout. There are many different types of dermal fillers on the market, each with its own particular benefits and/or shortcomings.Botox is generally the choice of discerning men and women who are trying to eliminate facial lines and wrinkles that are more apparent than mere creases in the skin. Your cosmetic doctor will assess whether you need Botox or dermal fillers for you. The choice of which one to use is dependent on the positioning, severity and depth of your wrinkles.As a general rule of thumb, the wrinkles around and between your eyes and on your forehead are usually treated with Botox. Folds around your mouth and chin are usually treated by dermal fillers.Botox and dermal fillers are used to treat different areas and issues. However, in terms of their longevity, both Botox and dermal fillers are temporary resolutions to the problems of ageing, offering a three to six month respite from wrinkles, before needing to be repeated.

What is a Smith Home Gym Machine?

For those of you who wonder what a Smith Machine is, then wonder no more. Ever since fitness guru Jack LaLanne invented the Smith machine, it has continued to become a necessary addition to any gym training rooms.Rudy Smith a bodybuilder actually took the original design and added further enhancements 50 some years ago, which is why it is still named after him. Smith home multi gyms like power racks, are integral to any personal training equipment of any gym regardless of size.A traditional Smith Machine uses a sleeved barbell attached to a vertical carriage riding on linear bearings on a frame. The user lifts the weight up and down on the glides during squats and presses.A Smith Home Gym is basically a Smith unit built in to a multi home gym.Main attraction of Smith machines is one of safety. There's no need for a spotter since the bar is prohibited from falling lower than the self-spotting pins. If the weight is too heavy or you lose your grip, the bar won't come down on top of you and cause an accident.Disadvantages of an SMLike any exercise equipment, there are always disadvantages. With a home multi gym, the bar uses a fixed plane of motion and you are limited in the number of exercises you can do. Unlike a power rack, the Smith bar cannot move in a natural arc movement making exercises like curls dead lifts impossible to perform. Likewise, free weight exercises, bench pressing and doing leg presses are also somewhat limited in mobility hence are disliked by fitness enthusiasts.How Do You Choose a Smith Machine?If it is going to be part of a home multi gym, try and get a system that comes with stations such as lat pull downs, press stations and low pulleys. Luckily for you, lots of multi home gyms nowadays comes packaged with a Smith Machine hence the name Smith Home Gym or similar.The Smith design with linear bearings is preferred. It performs more smoothly and more versatile than one made with bushings. Other features to look for include a 7-degree reverse pitch carriage, built-in plate storage holders, and attachments such as leg developer and preacher curls.
