GelColor by OPI ROCKS!!!!

I can’t believe I haven’t written about how amazing GelColor by OPI is yet! I’ve had it for at least three weeks, and I am in love! Clients that have not been able to keep Gelish and Shellac on for more than 10 days are wearing GelColor with amazing results. I love, love, love, love, love it! My co-worker Kelle bought the amazing OPI LED light as well and she GRACIOUSLY lets me use it and the new light is amazing and well worth the $400 price tag. As soon …

Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful weekend! I LOVE the Holidays so much! It has come much too quickly this year and I did not bake as many cookies or get as many Christmas cards sent out as I would have liked, but yesterday and today have been wonderful. My little boy just told me…”I love all of my presents Mommy!” ….even though Santa couldn’t bring him everything he wanted 🙂 Happy children make for a happy momma. However, I hope that my son will one day learn that Christmas is not truly …

Dry Winter Skin Issues

I had a client yesterday mention that she read in one her magazines that the reason people get dry, cracked skin on their hands in the winter time is because of a deficiency in Omega 3’s and Vitamin D.
You can get your Omega 3’s in fish oil tablets, which are inexpensive and easy to take, and it’s easy to get Vitamin D supplements as well. Or spend some time in the sun. Here is a great article I found about creating beautiful skin from the inside out–maybe some of you …

All about Pinterest! Are you a Pinner too????

I'm a Pinterest Addict!

Yes, yes, it’s true, I’ve discovered Pinterest. If you’ve discovered Pinterest as well, I’m sure you understand this obsession. If you haven’t, I’m sure it will only be a matter of time.

I have a few of my clients to blame for this obsession–Mauri and Brenda to be precise. But don’t worry, I’m not mad at you girls. I do believe that Pinterest is one of the most worthwhile websites to come along in a LONG time for several reasons. I will come back …

Celebrity Nail Trends

Katy Perry Fall Nail Trend–The Smurfs

Vanessa Hudgens Fall Nail Trend–Gold Foil

Selena Gomez Fall Nail Trend–Pink Nails

Khloe Kardashian Fall Nail Trend–Black!

I found these pictures courtesy of People.com, one of my guilty pleasures, and just thought I would give you a glimpse into some of the fall nail trends sported around Hollywood. I love Katy Perry, but I’m pretty sure I won’t have too many requests for a Smurf’s themed nail design any time soon. However, I’ve noticed her longer, pointed shape on a …

R.I.P. Salon Meritage, Seal Beach, California

My heart goes out to the victims and their families of Salon Meritage. I cannot imagine what those people went through and are going through. Nobody should ever have to know what that kind of terror and pain feels like.

It seems that words can be useless at a time like this, but I do believe people need to know that if they are ever afraid of a person, there is help out there. On a local level, here is a website that will direct you to the appropriate help if …

Just a few random thoughts….

My new hair do, courtesy of Tennille Excell at Studio 359

Cute Halloween nails on my cute SIL Jillie 🙂

Ok so I wanted to upload a pic of my new hair–Tennille Excell did it for me and she’s wonderful 🙂 I work with her at Studio 359 and I feel like I’m cheating on my sister Mandy (she does hair too) but it’s just easier with Tennille because we can do it while we are both at work…but Mandy gets to cut my hair next time–but I’m …

How do you like your pedicure?

Built in Pedi station-non whirpool soaking tub

Pedicure throne-whirpool jetted soaking tub & massage chair

Portable soaking tub with adirondack chair

Here are a few pictures I found online of some lovely pedicure stations. We do A LOT of pedicures at Studio 359. I’ve heard it’s the number one requested spa service, as a matter of fact, and I’d believe it based on the amount of feet we see in our stations. We give a great pedicure as well at our salon. Our most popular pedi is …

My favorite time of year!

Wedding nails on Jessica–Mani Q French tip

French tip Gelish mani

Black Shadow Gelish mani

Good Gossip and Elegant Wish Gelish mani on Me!

What’s not to love about this time of year? Nature planned it just right here in St. George, in my opinion, this time around. We got an incredibly wicked heat spell the last few weeks of August, after which was followed by a wonderful rain storm (desert rainstorms are the BEST!) and now we are enjoying some nice mild early fall weather …
