MANICURE MONDAYS:
Your finger nails and toe nails look dry and yellowing? AND the cuticles look dry, you have those annoying hang nails..whiten your nails and hydrate the skin with this simple at home trick, take a break from polish and use this at home trick for FREE!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
* BOWL & WATER
* OLIVE OIL
* LEMONS OR LEMON JUICE
* OLD TOOTH BRUSH
* In a bowl add warm water and lemon juice, you can even add cut lemons too, then add olive oil and swirl around the mixture. Make sure you have no polish on and soak your hands and/or feet in this miracle mixture. after a few minutes, scrub your nails with an old tooth brush even underneath the nails. Then rinse your nails under clean warm water and pat dry. massage some cuticle oil ( I like CND Solaroil )into your cuticles and lotion into your skin.
* I DON’T HAVE CUTICLE OIL?
You can use olive oil, or vitamin E ( Found in health food stores )
* MY NAILS ARE VERY YELLOW AND NEED A MEGA BOOST?
Take some baking soda and mix some water into it to create a paste and scrub that into the nails, then rinse clean. You can also try whitening toothpaste, or peroxide mixed with baking soda (these tricks really work, trust me ) last, you can get polident whitener ( used for dentures ) and dissolve that tablet in some warm water, and soak.

First Let Me Show You Before…
nails, we all know that annoying snag you get on your nails that is catching on EVERYTHING! And after the crazy holidays I could definitely use a massage or spa day..BUT, January is budget month, can’t really splurge on too many things, So the least in expensive way to treat yourself on a budget is to get a manicure, heres how…I stopped into my neighborhood nail salon called Oasis Nails & Spa in Branford town center
I was greeted immediately, the atmosphere was very modern, clean and cozy. My manicurists name was Eli, he gave me a meticulous manicure after removing Shellac from my nails (which is my favorite and lasted 2 weeks) During the removal, he gave me neck and shoulders an amazing massage. Then he fixed my split nail without me even having to ask him. the manicure even included an exfoliation scrub which most salons don’t do in a basic manicure. During the manicure, a woman sat next to me who just got engaged in the past 2 days and she was excited to get Shellac to have nice nails to show off her new ring, So..
Of course I was eager to tell her about Naomi’s Studio for her wedding hair & makeup (the team I work with doing makeup) and was able to give her a lot of different referrals and tips. I believe we are in certain places for a reason, I believe I really helped her. When I went to dry my nails at the drying section, Eli gave me another shoulder massage (YES 2 Massages! ) I Know, Awesome..So My point is , for the price of a manicure, I got a my dry skin removed, my nail fixed, gorgeous new hands, feel like new, met a new possible client or at least helped her in other ways, and got a massage. Whats better than that! Heres my after…
