By virtue of the fact that we are positioned in the ‘Deep South’ (i.e. Southern Hemisphere), we are always a season behind Europe and the USA from a fashion standpoint. However, it’s always a good idea (not to mention enjoyable) to keep a sharp eye out for what’s new and trending overseas. For that reason, we have an article about what nail art looks and styles are hot and happening in the Northern Hemisphere’s Spring/Summer season. There is lots in terms of inspiration for our local nail techs to draw from, as well as new takes on old favourites like the French and the ‘glazed doughnut’. What’s interesting is that UK nail techs are now doing ‘wearable 3D’ for their clients and that press-ons are proving a popular choice for clients.
With lash extensions remaining so big in the beauty industry, it’s only natural for nail salons to consider including this service in their offering. All of which begs the question, can nail artists become good lash artists? As an article in this issue points out, the answer is a resounding yes! This is because both require very similar skills, albeit in a different format.
