I had a great time travelling down to Sacramento, CA to attend the NailPro trade show.  I came back with 30 new confetti's, glitters and clay cane slices!  If you haven't been in to the Salon in the past month, stop by and take a peek - I have three boards full of hundreds of color and design options to choose from. These acrylic nails were done with a custom blend of two glitters and two

One of the great options with acrylic & gel enhancements is the addition of clay art slices embedded inside your nail enhancements!  I now offer over 150 clay cane options, including several new seasonal lines. Here are some recent Halloween nails with the fimo designs embedded over black acrylic and an orange glitter blend: Other seasonal lines that are now available:Thanksgiving Turkeys (

Wow!  Hard to believe it's been two months since I posted... Here's an update on a reformed nail biter,  you may remember the "before" shot from last May: In December she came in with **GASP** all her nails off - normally that would be a bad thing, but look how healthy her natural nails are now after wearing acrylics and gels for the past 7 months!We opted for a gel overlay with gel paint for a

Layered marbling in Gel: In these stiletto's I used the same marbling technique, but wanted a softer look, so I used a more opaque gel over the marbling.

Most women agree, we just feel better when we have our nails done!  If our nails can be sparkly and LONG so much the better.  One common problem with getting a new set of enhanced nails (when you're not used to them) is that the sudden length can be hard to deal with.  It can be quite painful to hit an acrylic or gel nail hard enough to break it, and discouraging to walk around with a broken nail

One question that comes up a lot:  which is better for you, gel or acrylic?  This is a tough one to answer, since it depends on a variety of factors.  First, I think it depends on what you're really asking!  Do you want to know which causes less damage to your natural nails, or which is better for you?   Are Gel Nails More Natural?  Often you will hear that gel is "better" or more "natural"

It seems lately that I've been doing a lot of sets with no smile lines.  This is a great option for those who like to extend the life of their designs, but I miss the crispness of having a nice clean smile line!  The nails I am wearing right now contain quite a few design options: stilletto, liquid art ~ this is what gives the nails the cool stained glass effect, impressions, and multiple

There are many misleading terms being used in the nail industry, either by nails techs who don't understand the services offered, or by less honest techs who are inflating their service price by making you think you're getting something "extra"! One of the more common terms to be aware of:  POWDER GEL This term is often used by nail techs who are applying acrylic nails, but using a gel top coat.

As many of my clients already know, I was blessed to receive extra training from the very start of my career by one of the best educators around, international educator and senior mentor of Young Nails, Tracey Reierson.  This weekend I am traveling down to California for two days of continuing education, which will be taught by three international educators (including Tracey and Young Nails

One great way to change the look of your nails while extending the life of the design is to add gel art.  Shown here is the original four-tone set in acrylic with gel paint: Two weeks later, after a "Pink" fill and a change-up to midnight blue gel flames: Add-on pricing applies to gel paint services.

There are a variety of options available to you at each service appointment once you have a set of RockStar enhancements on. To help demonstrate this, here is one client who chose a few different options. First, we put on a Full Set of RockStar French acrylics:The basic pricing for this service includes your choice of any two colors (solid or glitter) or any one color plus any of the many types

***UPDATE*** I'm adding a new picture after 4 weeks with acrylics on! We did these last Tuesday!I was able to do a nail transformation on a (newly reformed) nail biter ~she promises me that she never does if she has nails on. ( TRUE!)Here's the Before shot: And the After shot (original set): After the second back-fill - boy do her cuticles look AWESOME!

Here's a picture of my RockStar toes at day 30. I'm ready for a new color, but they're holding up well. I finally got around to my LO-O-O-NG overdue pedicure, since I had NO takers who wanted to give me one! I absolutely love, love, love the Footlogix line and am so glad I chose it for the studio foot services. Here's a before and after... Stop reading now if you're squeamish. I had a close-up up

Today we soaked off DD's acrylics and are now trying out the OPI Axxium Gel lacquer in Pompeii Purple! Very pretty, and I love her tiny little pinkies!

I'm really loving these RockStar Toes in Neon Rose with a custom glitter fade. For those who are new to the world of Rockstar Toes, I use a soakable gel called MANI-Q from Young Nails, and this stuff is the bomb! Um, hmm, I better check with the kids to see if it's still okay to say that... Anyway, as described on their website, mani-Q is: A CLEARLY BEAUTIFUL, SUBLIMELY RESILIENT, ENTIRELY NEW

On Monday I braved the big city, and went down to Seattle for the OPI Axxium Soak-Off Gel Lacquer class. Is that a mouthful, or what? I'm really excited about this product, since it's a great alternative to nail polish and will enable me to provide a natural nail manicure that lasts two weeks - or longer! I really wanted to leave the gel lacquer on my nails for a few weeks to see how it did, but

**Edit** Post re-named in honor of Josh. Here is a picture of DD's new set that we did yesterday ~ Neon Blue with a custom glitter blend in sculpted acrylic (what else?). No fun name for these, as they're just a fade ~ I don't think I could ever remember to call them anything else. Still very cute though. She was in such a hurry to get to work that she didn't give me much time to take pictures,

It's incredibly difficult to come up with a name for a business. After hours of mind-numbing searching, tongue twisting, and metaphor seeking, I decided on "Panache Nail Studio". Which, btw, Aunt Sallie told me people would think was pronounced 'Puh-Na-chee' and wonder if some Italians decided to take on the nail market. Then today, after reading my blog, someone (to remain nameless) said to me

So DD (dear daughter) thinks I should name all the nail designs, or rather, that I should let her do it! I did this sculpted acrylic set on her in March, and they were so pretty and fun! A little too wild and crazy, maybe, for those new to seeing some pizzazz in a nail tip, but we'll convert them one at a time. :D Rather than the typical "tiger stripes" or whatever, she came up with "Bedrock City
