[Ice Cube Nail Art] Reflecting Sunlight in Ocean

Ice cube nail art is believed to be familiar to everyone. It always ranks in the top 10 for girls during the summer. But this year, with the popularity of the Little Mermaid movie, there are new variations. After doing nail art, it feels even more like being in the center of the sea, where all ten fingers can feel a cool sensation.

Korean brand “Mayour” has launched the “Wave” series, featuring shades of blue and green in a semi-transparent style. Seeing the color palette already gives the feeling of being on the beach, with the light refracting on the sea. Adding ice cube nail art makes the nails crystal clear and transparent, giving a refreshing feeling even in the scorching summer.

[如何避免?] 36歲英國女士1個原因致美甲後指甲全脫落

日前一位有多年美甲經驗亦沒有過敏的36歲英國女子Lisa Dewey,一次美甲後竟出現嚴重問題,導致指甲全脫落,嚴重影響生活及令她失去自信。

今年2月時她如常美甲後,手指竟出現疼痛、甲面發炎問題,後來Gel甲開始脫落。當時她到醫院求診,醫生表示這是細菌感染,讓她服用抗生素及使用類固醇藥膏,指甲的情況有好轉,並看起來指甲炎症問題已痊愈,所以在4月再次做了水晶甲(Acrylic Nail)。
但在這次美甲後,Lisa Dewey的指甲問題變得更嚴重,她形容當時的手指疼痛至幾乎無法移動,不到幾天就開始脫落,指甲周圍的皮膚也變得「像紙一樣」脆弱,感覺隨時會被撕下來。指甲出現了嚴重問題導致她的生活也受影響,她沒法幫女兒洗頭、洗碗、繫安全帶以及就連拿起筆也非常痛。
她的指甲不僅從甲床脫落,甲床及周圍也變成了紫色。Lisa指當時很擔心是出現缺氧情況,會需要截去手指,所以停止接觸清潔劑和護膚產品。現在的她已經開始接受新一輪藥物治療,希望能有好轉及成功解決問題。

Lisa決定這次痊癒後,不會再做任何美甲,並告誡大家即使像她般過去多年做美甲都沒問題,但有可能不幸遇上了細菌感染或過敏問題,就很麻煩了。
美甲導致指甲細菌感染問題,時常有相關的新聞報道,亦令不少想美甲的女生卻步,但其實只有找有信譽的美甲店,確保美甲工具每次使用後都會消毒,Gel甲水晶甲也是安全無毒,也是可以很安全的。

NAIL n THINGS – Elegant and Fashionable Hong Kong-made Nail Stickers

Some of the nail stickers on the market can be a bit avant-garde and exaggerated, while office workers and OLs prefer elegant and fashionable designs. Two college classmates saw this gap in the market and invested six figures to start Nail n Things, designing and producing eco-friendly and user-friendly nail stickers that are more suitable for the taste and daily needs of Hong Kong and Asian people, making it easy for beginners to beautify their nails on their own.

This time, two new Gel nail stickers are introduced: “Floral Spread” in peach pink with a light texture, creating a flowery and elegant temperament, and “Wisteria” in purple and white, which is equally elegant and fashionable. If you love Gel nail stickers and want to support Hong Kong brands, you should definitely give these a try!

The semi-transparent Gel will show the skin underneath, presenting a visual effect similar to ice or crystal. Whether it’s a single color match or a stacked 3D Gel design, it’s versatile and elegant!
