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,

Josie 🙂

Balancing Work & Play at Ashka Salon Spa

Balancing Work

If you were to talk to my manager, she would tell you that I constantly struggle with balancing work and play. I have been caught multiple times asking if having down time is even worth it. Some people may even consider me a “workaholic”. Coming from someone who just adores her job and wants nothing but to be able to be the best she can be, squeezing in me time can be very difficult. I have found though, those off chances that I do pamper myself, are more than deserved.

Balancing Work
Balancing Work and Play can be harder than it seems.

Balancing Work with Play

How many times have you worked yourself so hard that you dread when your alarm clock goes off in the morning? While I am not saying we can make you love that (annoying) sound every morning, I can promise that we can help make it a little more bearable. I challenge you to end a long work week with a Manicure with Kym, or a Massage with Sarah. Maybe you even just need a trim so you can enjoy your complimentary scalp massage. At Ashka Salon Spa, we are working to give you some “me” time. We want you to put down your phone that can drive you batty during the work hours and just enjoy the peace and quiet with us. Book an appointment with Beth for a facial after a big presentation. Again, I promise you will love it.

 

“The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration—it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done.” This was written by Tim Krieder for the New York Times. It is a wonderful quote. It shows how important downtime truly is. You need downtime in order to accomplish anything.

As I said before, I challenge you to set aside time for yourself. Away from your work. Away from your family. Away from any responsibilities. Enjoy your time in the serenity offered at Ashka Salon Spa

Until Next Time,

Josie 🙂
