Christmas fungal nail

I know Christmas is about the color red and green, but you don't necessarily have to materialize it this holiday season.

I have just been discussing with supplier about the products to be bringing in for the Christmas and New Year festivities coming up around the weekend. He was commenting on the quick sales of anti-fungal treatments flying off the shelf like there is an epidemic.

So thought of putting in some tips for the girls who like to get their nails done with acrylic or gel extensions. I'm no expert but this is some suggestions I can give with my experience.

Overlays with gel and acrylic are actually not that good for your nails but once in a while, having them is alright and justifiable in cost if you have a chain of few events or functions to attend. I know they look nice and all, I'm tempted to do them too but the thing is if your nails are weak by nature, they will not make it better, it will just be as weak as before, if not even worst when you remove them. If yours are healthy, strong nails, they might weaken your nails. So always take a short break and just get the normal manicure after removing the overlays before doing another set of overlays.

If you are most persistent in getting your overlays, NEVER get your manicure/pedicure and overlays done on the same day after because if you do that you might have a chance on getting fungus in your nails.

Why?

Whenever you get your basic manicure done, you will have very moisturized fingers and nails due to all the soaking and moisturizing with lotions and treatments. With overlays, these moisture gets kept in your nails and promote the growth of fungus. On top of that, the damp, rainy weather lately, it will make the fungus grow faster and even worst.

Fungus growth on your nails are difficult to treat and looks super ugly. Your nails get crumbly and disfigured , grow out in a weird shape and all. Plus, they tend to spread very quickly to the rest of your fingers as well and once you treat them with anti fungal medication and cream, there is a chance that it might recur. Hence, you have to repeat the process of treating again and it costs.

So the solution is if you want your overlays and would not fancy spending money on treating fungal nail, DO NOT get a manicure/pedicure and overlays on the same day. Do one after another in a span of 2 days, like manicure on a day and book appointments for overlay one or two days later.

That's it. Just a small little tip. Hope you benefit from it.

A sunny, busy saturday

Today was packed with people back to back. For fish spa and nail services. Half of them are walk-ins and the other half appointments. It was a sunny Saturday. Now you all should believe me when I say most people are like me, they like to laze around at home and snooze on a rainy day.

I have two friends , ok ok, friend's friends who came and had a good session of pampering with fish spa and nail services for both their hands and feet. At the end of the day they enjoyed themselves and I was really happy to see the smile on their faces when they left. It seems that we have left a not too bad impression on them. I hope they come back and visit us soon.

There was also this family with the mom, 3 kids and her nanny. The little girl was screaming and shouting all the way that she did not want to do the fish spa. Her will was so apparent in the first 5 minutes, which seemed like half an hour to her. Funnily, she began to enjoy the fish nibbling her feet after the itch disappeared, in any case, it happens to everyone when you got used to it. To my surprise she even did the hand fish spa. I'm glad she overcame her fears with the help of her mom and nanny and started to enjoy what seemed to be scary.

Lastly, there are two groups of people who came in after they saw the BIGASS banner we hung.

The only thing we had not expected was that one of the ladies whom had a surgery done on her knee caps, had a scab at the spot where the incision was done. She showed us the scab and LO and BEHOLD! parts of the scab had actually disappeared after she did the foot fish spa. It was quite obvious to be truthful, not a very big piece but apparent to your eyes unless of course you are super unobservant, in which case no one can help you. I myself had not experienced anything like that as in a part of scab removed by the fishes, mine was generally just flaking skin. She was saying that we should have taken a 'before and after' photo of it. Maybe the next time, she drops by again, I will and most probably give her a good deal for being my 'advertisement model'.

*ahaks*
