Nail Care, Polish and Nail Designs 

Welcome to my page all about nail care, nail polish and nail designs. I have been a licensed cosmetologist specializing in skin care, makeup and nail care for 30+ years. I've seen trends come and go and come back again! 

 My philosophy for beautiful nails is that the nails and skin surrounding the nails must be nurtured gently with regular manicures, pedicures and home care to grow strong and healthy. 

 Tips and silk wraps are my go method for extending and repairing nails due to the minimal damage they cause to the nail plate. 

 Nail polishes formulated for natural nails, such as Zoya, are my go to polishes. They wear well and cause very little nail dehydration and cause no thinning of the nails like gel polish.

See me at the salon, Styling Point in Media, Pa. for a good old fashioned healing manicure and pedicure.
It is so important in today's competitive world to have a clean, polished appearance. This is especially important when it comes to the hands. 

Chipped polish, frayed cuticles, and dry cracked skin suggest a lack of attention to details. 

One of my clients, who works in HR, says she is very aware of the grooming of the hands when she interviews potential employees.

I have listed a variety of nail topics on this page and have provided links to detailed posts that I have done for you to get the best information on taking care of your hands and solving nail problems such as splitting nails.

Supplies: 
water marbling supplies
2-4 Polish Colors for Design
Top Coat
Polish Remover
Toothpicks
An Orangewood Stick Covered with Cotton on one end
A Small Glass Bowl Filled with Water

 How to 
1. Start with your nails polished in a color that will compliment your design. White works well as a base color because the colors you use for the design will look bright and clear.


2. Shake up the nail polish bottles that you are going to use for your design and unscrew the caps. You will need to work fast and this will make it easier.


3. Start with one color. Load the polish brush with a lot of polish.  Allow a drop of polish to drip from the brush into the bowl of water. It will spread out in a circle. Do this with each color placing the drops of polish inside the circle formed by the previous color.


4. Use a toothpick to quickly swirl the colors together.


5. Dip you nail into the swirly polish and lift it right out. If you feel you need more color, you can dip again.


6. Clean the skin around the nail by dipping the cotton tipped orangewood stick into polish remover and wiping around the nail. 


7.Repeat on all your nails or just a select few. You may be able to dip more than one nail in the same marbleized mix depending on how fast you work.


8. Use a clear top coat to finish.


Tips: Glitter polish adds some glitz swirled into the mix of colors. Use polish colors that are not sheer for an intense design. Use sheer polish for a soft subtle design. A mix of light and dark colors, such as black and white, will give you a well defined bold design.

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out. Read more about blackhead, whiteheads and blind pimples This is a common problem for the under-eye area. It is a dry, delicate area of the skin. I see it a lot on my clients. Heavy products

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j
