[Nail Styles for Men] Follow the Stars (III)

From the darkest to the brightest, there are a whole lot in between. Let me show you something here a little on the artsy side of gel nail for men.

7. Marble nails for men


You may do the usual black and white marble art, or you may by all means choose other colors to match your hair and your clothes.

8. Alphabet nails for men


Alphabets are common for tattoos. They work well on nails as well. American rock n’ roll artist, MachineDun Kelly, wore the letters S, A and D on three of his nails, which was totally cool! You can get equally creative with words too. To make the letters stand out, try choosing contrasting colors such as, red on white or, black on white.

9. Simple stripes


For those minimalists, you can use the help of tapes or tooth picks as guides to make stripes in different widths. If there are tattoos on the back of your hands, you can even make stripes that match. Do not forget to apply base coat before you do your stripes though.

[Nail Styles for Men] Follow the Stars (II)

When you have enough of the low-key black and you are ready to step up, you might be interested in the following gel nail ideas for men.

4. Fluorescent Nails


If you decided to be the wild kid down the street, consider to go really sharp. Try wearing matching fluorescent nails with same color outfits – yellow, green or blue. Put on some showy accessories and you can definitely becomes the focus of the block. Even if you put on black outfits instead, the fluorescent nails can still stand out loud.

5. Go free with Partially Painted Nails

Do some free-style strokes in the middle of the nail, match with some rings or silvers. This totally can bring out your wilder side. All you need is black outfits and you can look as cool as you can be.

6. Geometrical Shapes


First apply a clear base. Then, use tapes or nail stickers to mask out a shape. Paint over the shape a few rounds and tear the tapes off once the polish is dry. That’s it! It is easy as 1-2-3. Then, do not forget go over the nail with a top coat and you are done.

[Nail Styles for Men] Follow the Stars (I)

The world of nail art is flooded with STYLES for women, but let’s not leave the men out. We found some COOL designs from the stars.

1. Black nails for men

If you are new to nail art and want TO stay low key, you can Never go wrong with basic black. Black is the choice of G-Dragon and the lead singer of LANY – Paul Klein. The combination of shiny black nails and bright outfits speaks out their unique styles.

2. White nails

Black graphics on white nails give an artsy look while not being tacky. There are plenty of stickers available for this purpose. Just apply top coat after you put the sticker on white polish. This will help to last longer.

3. Black n’ white

When plain becomes boring, you can go with BNW. Try pearl white, it actually look quite natural on black nail rather than using chalk white.

[有冇試過著鞋好痛?] 嵌甲點算好

嵌甲(Ingrown toenail)是常常發生於腳部,很好時於激烈跑動、腳步的變換;又或者長時間穿高踭鞋久站,都有可能讓鞋子壓迫到腳趾,導致腳趾甲往內生長,產生嵌甲。以下就告知大家如何保護好腳趾甲。

嵌甲的症狀

疼痛、紅腫,或是感染造成不明的分泌物 (含膿),都代表著腳趾甲可能有嵌甲的狀況。如果你腳汗多、腳趾甲硬、或是糖尿病(Diabetes)患者,就需要特別注意自己雙腳了。前面兩者容易因感染或是鞋子擠壓,而產生嵌甲;糖尿病患者則是因為血液循環系統不良,一旦腳趾受傷,復原的速度會比平常人緩慢,較易發生嵌甲的毛病。

修剪腳趾甲的方法

為了避免這種情況發生,在修剪腳趾甲時,不應往趾甲兩側內縫修剪,並且不要把白色的地方都剪光,修剪完的趾甲應該偏方型,如果您怕腳趾甲邊緣太銳利,容易勾破襪子,可以用銼刀稍微將邊邊小角磨得圓潤,但不要把整個邊緣都修成圓形。

如果您發現自己有疑似嵌甲的狀況,但是趾甲還沒有陷入肉內太深、沒有強烈疼痛,而且也沒有感染跡象的話,以下有一些方法可以讓您在家動手矯正腳趾甲,預防嵌甲的情況惡化!

  1. 撥開包裹住腳趾甲趾肉,讓趾甲邊邊顯露出來,之後拿兩顆小棉花球,塞入趾甲邊邊與趾肉間的縫隙,避免趾甲再度陷進肉裡。
  2. 在嵌甲處塗上抗生素藥膏,減低感染發生的機率。
  3. 選擇尺寸合適的鞋子,鞋子過緊除了會造成嵌甲外,也有可能壓迫您的腳趾關節,導致拇指外翻。

但若這些方法沒有緩和您的疼痛,請尋求醫生的專業治療。

6 Tips to make your Nail Polish Last Longer

Most people apply their nail polish by pulling the brush from the base to tip in one stroke. This way may be quick but it will not last long.  What is the secret of professional manicurists that makes the polish so long-lasting?

I. Base Coat

Apply clear base coat before you put on shade. Not only this can help the color look sharper, the base coat can also protect the real nail.

II. Apply on Your Strong Hand First

If you are right-handed, apply on on the nails of your right hand first. Get the tougher part done first. It is easier to finish up by the strong hand lasst.

III. Do not Fetch too Much

Pull off excessive polish at the rim of the bottle, this can make the color looks more even.

IV. Apply on the top 1/3 part of the nails first

Since there is more chance that  the upper part of the nails chip off first, reinforcing this area can Definitely help.

V. Double Coats

Apply a secong coat while the first coat is slightly dried. The color will look more saturated and shiny.

VI. Top Coat

You definitely need the top coat. It is the key to that extra shine and durability.
