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.

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.

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。

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。

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.

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！

For most of us, New Year marks the time for changing season. Now is the time to get ready for the warmer temperatures. In the up-coming posts we are going to talk about three different warm nail ideas.

The variety of reds are symbolic colors for new year. OPI-Washington D.C Collection has the loveliest earthy shades. Both the orange brown and the brown red shades can send anyone into the new year spirit. The earthy tones are very classy wile bringing out the fairness of the skin.

我地日常為左整潔同方便會定期修甲，其實屋企既毛孩都需要定期修甲架。 因為貓貓如果指甲過尖過長，會容易勾到窗簾地氈等既地方扯傷指甲。而貓貓既指甲切面為圓型，所以基本上市面買到既貓用剪甲剪都系圓孔既設計，小編亦唔建議用人用既指甲剪幫貓貓剪指甲，因為人用既指甲剪容易施力不均，造成指甲破裂。 所以避免比貓貓既銳爪爪傷，小編建議每月幫家中既貓貓修短指甲。

First of all, it is originated from America. What makes it different is that it does not require soaking to soften the cuticles. 

In Rainbow Nails, our American Manicure is achieved by using an electric nail file with a triangular cuticle pusher and a sander. 

Steps:

1 Clear up the lunula with the triangular pusher

2 Gently scrape away the dried cuticles with the sander

3 Bring the nail to the desired length with a file

4 Apply nail polish

5 Done!

The electric file does not irritate the skin, thus thick cuticle is less likely to come back.  It will leave the skin softer and smoother.  The result will last much longer. 

Below are the before and after pictures of a client receiving American Manicure.

美式修甲的英文是American manicure，當然發源於美國，跟傳統修甲方式不同之處是不需用水先浸軟手皮。

我們的美式修甲主要是使用一部電銼和兩個不同形狀的轉頭 (分別是三角石磨及沙圈石磨)。

步驟是：

1. 在半月位置使用三角石磨轉頭向前推平滑
2. 換了沙圈石磨轉頭把指甲兩旁的皮肖或硬皮磨滑
3. 使用指甲銼磨短
4. 塗上指甲油
5. 完成

美式修甲的好處是使用石磨轉頭去磨平，不會刺激到皮膚令硬皮愈生愈厚，另外再生長的皮肖不會刮手，比傳統修手更平滑，維持度高。

以下是客人做美式修甲的前後對比圖：
