If you are always looking for the newest products out there, then this one will interest you.

Vetro, out of Japan, is a highly pigmented gel  that gives your freedom to create any type of design you would like.

With color ranges that include neons and matte options, Vetro is a nail artists dream. Plus it has a 20 second, yes, 20 second, cure time!!!!

So, when I heard they were giving product presentations in the LA area, I had to share with you.

So with minimal requirements on your part, you can take a 3 hour class to learn about this product.

The presentation is located at

Juke International Seminar Room

12397 Lewis St

Garden Grove, CA

92840

The event is held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 10am – 1pm.

They ask for a R.S.V.P. for these events. You can do so by calling or SMS at 626-381-8050 or via email at la@vetro.jp

Here is a great video to get you excited about Vetro and some different techniques!

If you saw my post yesterday, you read that I was doing water marbling. Which I find challenging. Most likely because it takes patience! LOL

Well, since I completed them with out killing any one or any thing, I wanted to share them with you lovely folks.

Too bad they lost Super Bowl 49. Even though I am sad about that, it was a good game. Not too one sided so it definitely wasn’t boring!

Mr. Nail Art has some very good gems, foils, decals, glitter and nail art tools like piercing tools!

But the COOLEST thing he has to date is these little led lights that you actually in-case in your nails.

Now here is the coolest part of this “fanicure” (thanks Sigourney!). I did mine in acrylic but I have seen it done with gel as well.

Here is a little video of the final effect. My apologies for the grainy video. This is my newest learning curve!

The lights get their power from the signals that your phone emits when in the “NFC” mode. (the mode used to transfer data from phone to phone!)

These little things are simply the coolest! Here is a video from the super talented @nailartbysig sporting some seriously fun nails to show her Katy Perry love!

Thanks Sigourney for sharing your video with us! And thanks to Mr. Nail Art for giving us a seriously cool new nail art toy!

“Think outside the Box” will be about opening your mind to become the best nail artist you can be. Adam will be inspiring nail techs to come out of the regular salon mind set. To realize your potential as more than just a manicurist!

I will be attending complimentary nail classes with some more industry greats including Doug Schoon (Scientist extraordinaire) , and hopefully I will be able to catch Greg Salo from Young Nails do his energetic magic along the way (I’m not sure about my timing yet!)

It features all the new (some tried and true!) shapes that are gracing digits everywhere!

I love that people are changing the looks of their nails with these different shapes. I am especially intriqued with the Edge shape. As a technician, I can see where very good technique will be first priority to maintain the look and shape of this style.

I know that I blog about Nails, but I had the opportunity to visit with some folks that I have known for a long time. Actually, this company is who got me working with OPI as a Educator/Guest Artist.

Nova Beauty is based in Victoria , BC, Canada. They are a full service beauty supply company carrying such lines as Joico, Keune, Trind, SeaFlora, Skendor, Gehwol, Footlogixs, and of course OPI.

When I got the chance for a very quick visit with Darren, he was super excited to show me his newest find.

Cherry Blooms is a 3 step “mascara” that uses fortifying fibers to build up layers of length on your natural (or otherwise) eyelashes!

Super simple and fast, I got a demo from Lisa at Nova Beauty and could not believe the difference.

These images say it all.
