CND Vinylux Nail Polish New Formulation

CND Vinylux

As I have said before, I always feel so much more put together when I have my nails done. However, I have found that if I constantly am buffing, and filing, and painting my nails, they will get dry and brittle and I can’t achieve the look that I want. I almost always end up painting my nails at Ashka Salon Spa with CND products. Although I have always been a fan of CND Vinylux because it gives me gel-like shiny, up to 7 days of wear, but still has an easy removal process. I recently learned that my favorite polish just got revamped; making it that much better!

CND Vinylux Nail Polish has a New Formulation!

CND Vinylux

“Nail beauty begins with nail health.”
– Jan Arnold; CND cofounder and style director

The three key ingredients that have been added to their new formula are: Keratin, Vitamin E, and Jojoba Oil. Keratin is a protein that is found in both your hair and your nails. By adding this into the CND Vinylux formula, it helps to improve nail flexibility as well as strengthen them. Which means less painful, broken nails! Vitamin E is known for being good for the skin. It is also an antioxidant that has anti-aging properties. It also helps defend against free radicals that are bad for your nails. The Jojoba oil helps to repair your nails while the polish is on! Jojoba oil is also found in a lot of our Aveda hair and skin products as well so I thought it was interesting to see CND adding it in.

I love the idea of being able to keep my nails polished without feeling as though I am harming them! I am excited to play with these new polishes more as the spring and summer months inch closer to us.

Call today to schedule your next nail appointment with one of our expert nail technicians: Kym, Sarah, or Misty. They’d love to try out CND Vinylux Nail Polish’s new formula on you.

Until Next Time,

Shellac Manicure in Canton, MI

Shellac Manicure

Since I was assisting for the past year and a half, my hands have really be taking a beating. No matter what I do to them they still seem dry and my cuticles are always stained with hair color. This is the exact reason I needed to see Kym for a Shellac Manicure. Kym is our lead nail technician at Ashka Salon Spa. She is seriously a miracle worker. The benefits of a shellac manicure versus a regular manicure are endless to me. I work with my hands in water all day everyday and regular nail polish will only last a day.

What Do You Get in a Shellac Manicure?

Kym starts with doing any nail maintenance that you may need first. It is important to completely clear the nail bed of any cuticle and oil. This makes your shellac stay the longest possible. Kym will shape your nails first and then let your cuticle sit with product on them to remove them. After pushing back your  cuticles and nipping them, your nails are wiped with a hot towel, buffed and the oil is removed. Then the fun part begins. I love picking out my nail color. To me, it is a huge part of self expression. Am I feeling bubbly and pink? Or more mysterious and dark? After a base coat, two color coats and a top coat, your nails are completely dry and ready to go. That is one of the best parts about a Shellac Manicure, the minute you are done, your nails are dry. I can’t even paint my nails anymore with regular polish because I am so impatient with the drying process. And since they are dry, you get to enjoy an amazing hand massage by Kym before leaving!

The Power of a Shellac Manicure

The power of a manicure is absolutely incredible. I’m pretty sure after every manicure or pedicure I have every gotten, the first words out my mouth have been “Ahhh, I feel human again”. It gives me confidence and feeling of being put together. I feel professional when my nails look professional. A shellac manicure is without a doubt is a can’t miss service for me. Call today to book your appointment with Kym!
