Eaxy Fix – Fix Crystal Easily

Having Crystals on your nail art is always nice. Unfortunately, the Crystals can fall off in just a few days time.

Eaxy Fix from Korea has just the right solution. This new product is a dual-tip pen with a gel dispenser on one end, and a LED light on the other end.
To fix on a piece of crystal securely, just dispense some gel first. Then, turn the pan around and shine the LED light on in a circular motion for about 60 seconds.

This fixer pen is so easy to use, now you can have the Crystals on your nails as long as you would like.

電動美甲機 vs 指甲銼

近日推出了不少電動美甲機,聲稱可以修甲和打磨甲面的效果,可以媲美專業美甲師……….真的嗎?

指甲其實是由多層角化細胞連接一起而構成,因為只要不過分打磨或挫甲就可以了,輕輕打磨只會磨去最外層的角質,每隔兩週或一個月修甲傷害也不大!

  指甲挫 美甲機
優點
  • 便宜
  • 可深入甲縫
  • 打磨度精細
  • 較為衞生
  • 落點準確
  • 時間較快
缺點
  • 鋒利
  • 要花氣力
  • 時間較長
  • 機身比較笨重
  • 需要維修
  • 要培訓才能使用

其實指甲挫甲同美甲機都是修甲的好工具,未試過美甲機的朋友也不妨試試,也是不錯的選擇!

Manicure Machine vs Nail Files

There are quite a lot of different electronic nail clippers on the market. Do they really work as well as a professional manicurist?

Nail is formed by layers of interlocking cornified cell. To keep the nails looking healthy and shiny, a gentle filing of the nail surface is needed once every two weeks to one month.

Let us make a comparison between nail files and manicure machines.

  Nail Files Manicure Machine
Advantage
  • Not Expensive
  • Can get around small areas with them
  • Relatively easy to take care of minor details
  • Better in hygiene
  • More accurate
  • Requiring less time
Disadvantage
  • They are sharp while requiring more strength
  • Longer time to work with
  • Take up more room
  • Require maintenance
  • Only trained technicians can use them properly

Whether you use a nail file or a manicure machine for your nails, they are both good in some ways. If you have not tried the machines, it is quite worth it to try it out.

[灰甲剋星] 糖尿病患者都適合使用的灰甲水 – 德國 Callusan Unguisan Nail Tincture

春天又到了,香港天氣大部分處於又焗又潮濕,加上長時間穿上密頭鞋,會更容易患上灰甲,我相信不少人都曾有這煩惱。

之前我們真心推介過的 OPI Fungus Fix 已停產,在經一番搜尋下終於找到一隻類似的產品 ── 就是來自德國品牌足博士 (Callusan) 中的凝膠再生膏 (Unguisan Nail Tincture),它的創新配方用了純天然成份不含藥用的克霉唑及其他天然成份,包括:尿素,冰島海苔,黑加侖子萃取物,能有效對抗真菌並提供全面保護,保持滋潤和腳甲的柔韌,而且有經皮膚科測試,是適合糖尿病患者使用。

使用方法:每日1-2滴滴在指甲及周圍的肌膚,輕輕按摩,注意不要接觸到滴管位置。由於產品屬於高濃度,不需要使用得太頻繁。

Fungal Nail Treatment even Diabetics can use – Unguisan by Callusan

Hot, humid and un-sanitized – these are the best conditions for Breeding toenail fungus in closed shoes. We once recommended OPI FUNGUS FIX before it went out of the production line. Now we found something just as good!

Introducing ‘Unguisan Nail Tincture’ by Callusan from Germany. Its’ innovative formula is comprised of natural ingredients without any Clotrimazole inside. The active ingredients include urea, Iceland moss extract and blackcurrant which can effectively fight against fungus. It provides total protection and keeps the nail skin supple. This product is dermatologically tested and is suitable for diabetics.

Direction:
Apply one drop or two on the affected nails and the surrounding skin area. Gently massage over. Avoid touching the Tip of the dropper.
This is such a high potency formula that only a small amount is needed.

延甲不再是耗時又考技巧的過程,美國品牌 Madam Glam 推出的 Polygel 可滿足追求效率的你,用更快的時間,減去繁複的步驟也能擁有令人煥然一新的指甲。最新的 Polygel 可取代傳統的水晶甲及hard gel,用作加厚和延長指甲。耗時短,易掌握。而且有多種顏色選擇,除了用作延長也直接為指甲添上顏色,一舉兩得。

使用方法簡單
1. 先塗上Base gel後照燈,
2. 找適合自己指甲大小的Polygel專用甲模,
3. 修剪甲模至想要的甲形,
4. 在甲模尾端位置塗上適量polygel,
5. 美甲掃沾上火酒,
6. 然後將polygel塑造成心儀的形狀
7. 塑造完後貼上真甲,照燈定型。(UV 燈照兩分鐘,LED燈照30秒)
8. 照燈後除去甲模,銼好甲型然後拋光,清理粉塵,最後塗上Top gel然後照燈便完成。

卸甲方法與一般缷soak off gel的方式一樣。
用甲銼磨薄大部分gel後,再用卸甲水包裹卸掉剩餘polygel。

Your Kitty need manicure too?

You go for a manicure regularly, but how about your cat? Overgrown pet nails can easily get caught in curtains or carpet. The nails can break loose and become injured. Since the cross-section of a cat’s nail is round in shape, nail trimmers for cats have round holes in them. However, they might not leave a smooth cut. Nail clippers for human are not suitable for felines either. For best nail maintenance, I would suggest to give your cat a manicure once a month.

貼石神器 – 甩石都可以輕鬆自己fix

相信唔少女生幫指甲扮靚靚嘅時間,都會選擇貼閃石嚟點綴一下,但始終閃石係3D 嘅 nail art,所以比較難喺指甲上last得耐,而小編就試過短短兩日就甩左粒閃石喇!

不過最近韓國即將推出一款新產品,正正係喜愛貼閃石女生嘅恩物,就係Dgel既”Easy fix”。

Eaxy fix係一支筆型嘅設計,筆頭可以吱出gel,而筆尾就有⼀盞細細嘅LED燈,只要將您想fix嘅閃石用筆頭吱出既gel貼上甲面,再用筆尾嘅LED燈近距離打圈照大約60秒,就完成喇!

小編就覺得依個產品非常適合鍾意貼閃石嘅女生們,以後就算甩石都可以輕鬆自己fix!

[Nail Art for New Year] Shades of Red
