NAIL INSPIRATION
Hey there! Ailesh from Salon Society in Regina, SK here. Do you ever sit down to do your nails but cannot for the life of you decide what designs to put on your nails? Finding inspiration for new designs and new creative nail sets can be frustrating sometimes so I've put together a three of my favourite places to look for nail inspiration!
Picture
​1. Pinterest

Pinterest is probably the most common place nail artists turn to for inspiration. However I like to use Pinterest a bit differently when I'm looking to be creative; instead of just looking for nail art that's been done before, I love using Pinterest to find artistic concepts. Try using Pinterest as a research tool: search for drawings, paintings, tattoos, and photography to adapt into nail designs!
​2. Nail Artists

Social media is a great place to get inspired by other incredible nail artists. There are so many crazy talented and artistic people out there making art - so give them a follow and get inspired!

Some of my favourite Instagram accounts are :

@sierrasnails_
@corasunsetarts

​3. Nature

Try finding inspiration from the natural world. Nature is full of colour, pattern, and texture! Flowers, leaves, animal prints, marble, crystals, geodes - the options are endless!!

Hey everyone! Ailesh from Salon Society in Regina, SK here and today we're talking nail art.

​I adore nail art - no secret there - and I really feel that sometimes the most beautiful designs are simple elements layered together. So today I've put together an easy tutorial you can follow without needing any sort of advanced techniques.
step 1 nail art
​Step 1 - Base Colour 

To start prep your cuticles & nails, apply your primer & base coat, and apply the chosen base design colour on the whole nail of every nail. 
nail art step 2
​Step 2 - Colour Blocks 

Next you want to apply your colour blocks. I think that abstract designs look best when each nail has a different shape or amount of colouring blocking done. This imprecise blocking also allows for some imperfection in your designs which is great for nail art newbies!
nail art step 3
​Step 3 - Add Your Stripes 

Now add a thin stripe of colour next to the colour blocks. Don't be too worried about making a super straight clean line - imperfection really adds to the look.

​Step 4 - Start Speckling

Using a thin brush or dotting tool, add tiny speckles to the colour blocked area. Once again, don't worry about perfection - we are wanting speckles not perfect polka dots so don't stress! Apply your top coat and voilà you've made art!

HAND & NAIL CARE IN A COVID WORLD

​​Hey everyone! Ailesh from Salon Society in Regina, SK here to talk about proper hand and nail care in our current crazy COVID world. 


As we all undoubtedly know at this point, 20 seconds of frequent and thorough handwashing with soap and warm water is important for defending against the COVID-19 virus but all this hand washing can really take a toll on the health of our hands and nails. In addition, increased sanitization of frequently touched surfaces has many of us with our hands in harsh cleaners and bleach. 

Working to keep your hands and nails in good shape isn't just so they look pretty but also to protect your health. Broken skin and abrasions are a good way for bacteria to enter your body and dry hands and cuticles can be painful - so let's get fixing those hands! 
Hand & Nail Care in a COVID-19 world
1. Moisturize 

The best thing you can do for your hands is moisturize them. Frequent handwashing is very drying so it is important to follow every hand wash with lotion. Try a DIY hand scrub to scrub away the dryness and start fresh - something as simple as brown sugar and coconut oil will do the trick! 

TOP TIP: Have a lotion next to every sink so you won't forget and don't have to look for it!

2. Use Warm Water 

Warm water is plenty warm enough to effectively wash your hands and is the recommended temperature for handwashing. Whereas washing with hot water strips moisture from your hands plus can cause irritation or burns. 

3. No Nail Biting 

Nothing is worse than unsightly and painful nails and cuticles. Keep those fingers out of your mouth - for your nails and your health! 

TOP TIP: Keeping your nails at a shorter, more manageable length can help to discourage nail biting. Plus, always carry nail clippers or a nail file so any broken nails can be taken care of immediately without biting. 

4. Cuticle Care 

Dry cuticles are flakey, peeling, hang nail prone cuticles. To keep your cuticles looking good be sure to use lots of lotion and cuticle oil! In addition, it's important to keep a pair of sharp cuticle nibbers on hand. Using nibbers to carefully and safely cut away dry cuticles and hang nails helps to stop tearing and prevent painful cuticles.

TOP TIP: Put cuticle oil on at night before bed so it can fully soak in as you sleep! 

5. Pretty Nails are Healthy Nails 

Right now long nails may not be the best choice for you. Our frequent hand washing can make nails dry and brittle leading to easy breakage. Shorter well shaped nails are easier to maintain than longer nails; uniform healthy nails are pretty nails.

6. Polish 

Grab some nail polish and make those nails shine! Make sure to thoroughly clean the nail before applying any polish and use base and top coats for a longer lasting manicure. If you're thinking of tackling some nail art check out my blog - 4 Tips for Beginner Nail Art!

4 TIPS FOR BEGINNER NAIL ART

​Hey there! ​Ailesh here from Salon Society in Regina, Saskatchewan.

For my first ever blog post I decided to write about something I am very passionate about - nail art. I love trying new things, keeping up with nail trends, and learning new techniques. I know first-hand how daunting nail art can seem, especially when you're just starting out, so I've put together my top tips for beginners to nail art - I hope you enjoy them! 
Picture
​1. Keep It Simple
If you are just starting out keep it simple and easy. Classic designs like polka dots, hearts, and flowers are a great starting point and will help to hone your fine motor skills. 
Picture
​2. Add A Twist
Find an simple design and jazz it up with a twist. For example, layering different coloured polka dots. Adding a matte top coat is another easy way to transform a look! 
Picture
​3. Perfectly Imperfect
Aim for designs that don't require perfection. Instead, try looks that allow for imperfection from nail to nail - think bold brush strokes, abstract designs, and mixing textures and patterns. This is especially helpful if you are trying to do nail art on both hands but aren't comfortably ambidextrous yet. 
Picture
4. Go All Out (Almost) 
Go all out, full crazy nail art - on one hand. Use your dominant hand to create the nail art of your dreams on one hand. Then using your non-dominant hand, paint simple solid coloured nails in a colour that compliments the design hand.
