Manicure,The Fashion Needs

The manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands performed either at home or in a nail salon by a licensed professional nail technician or manicurist. A manicure treatment is not only a treatment for the natural nails but also for the hands. A manicure consists of filing, shaping of the free edge, cuticle treatments, and massage of the hand and the application of polish. There are also manicure services that are specialties for the hands and feet. For the hands, the soaking of a softening substance and the application of a lotion is a common speciality. This procedure can be applied to the toenails and feet; this treatment is referred to as a Pedicure. The word "manicure" derives from Latin: manus for "hand," cura for "care."
Other nail treatments may include the application of artificial nail tips, acrylics or artificial nail gels. Some manicures can include the painting of pictures or designs on the nails or applying small decals or imitation jewels.In many areas, manicurists are licensed and follow regulation. Since skin is manipulated and is sometimes trimmed, there is a certain risk of spreading infection when tools are used across many people and, therefore, sanitation is a serious issue.
History
Ex-servicewomen learning manicure techniques, 1945Manicures began 5000 years ago
In India, henna was used for manicure. The term mehendi, used synonymously for henna, derives from the Sanskrit mehandika. The Dowager Empress of China was known to keep very long naturally-grown nails.French manicures are manicures designed to resemble natural nails, and are characterized by natural pink base nails with white tips. The tips of the nails are painted white while the rest of the nails are polished in a pink or a suitable nude shade. French manicures may have originated in eighteenth-century Paris and were popular in the 1920s and 1930s] Like any style they are chosen for a variety of aesthetic reasons. Many choose them because they are very simple and give nails a natural, healthy look and can visually correct or perfect otherwise imperfect nails
Nail careNatural nails are made up of protein keratin. The nail plate requires a certain amount of flexibility and moisture to encourage healthy growth. Using 'hardening' treatments and harsh chemicals on natural nails will make the nail plate brittle and more prone to breakages. The use of nail moisturizers and clear polish proteins is essential for perfect growth. A professional Nail Technician or Manicurist will use a written, verbal and observational consultation to determine the condition of a client's natural nails. A manicure treatment should take from about thirty minutes to one hour.
Paraffin treatments Hands can be dipped in melted paraffin wax for softening and moisturizing. Paraffin wax is used because it can be heated to temperatures of over 35°C, without burning or injuring the hand. The intense heat allows for deeper absorption of emollients and essential oils. The wax is usually infused with various botanical ingredients such as Aloe Vera, chamomile, tea tree oil, and azulene. Fruit waxes such as peach, apple and strawberry are often used in salons.
Occasionally, lotion is rubbed on the hand before submersion into the paraffin bath. The hand is usually dipped more than once to allow a thicker wax coat to forms, making the coating stay warm for longer and less likely to break or tear prematurely. After the hands have been dipped in the wax, they are wrapped in either plastic or aluminum foil, or a special type of plastic bag or glove then covered with towel or special mitten to retain warmth. The hands are left for a few minutes before the paraffin is cooled and dried.
Hot oil manicure
A hot oil manicure is a specific type of manicure that cleans the cuticles and softens them with oil. It works well for dry skin and nails that are brittle as it improves both by leaving them soft and pliable. Types of oils that can be used are mineral oil, olive oil or commercial prepared oil.

FASHION IN LEATHER

Leather is used by man as dress since prehistoric cave age. In fact it was the second dress of man-kind. According to BIBLIC or QURANIC ideology the first dress was big laves of plants. Later man learnt the use skin of animals, and made leather from skins and hides. From the course of time we reached up to the present status of development in the field of leather material and products. With the passage of time ma invented and introduced many "fashions" in leather dress.

Leather is a durable and flexible material created via the tanning of animal rawhide and skin, primarily cattle hide. It can be produced through different manufacturing processes, ranging from cottage industry to heavy industry.

Forms of leather: - Many processes are used to transform hides and skins into leather by different tanning methods.

The Leather Skirt

The leather skirt is one of the warmest and most sexy items of clothing when it is worn with style. Wear it with incredible high heels and an understated one colored silk blouse and you will be turning heads wherever you go. Leather is chic and it is soon becoming a winter essential.

Who can wear a leather skirt?

Unlike other items of clothing, leather does not forgive. Leather skirts look great on tall slender curvy shapes. The material clings to the body and accentuates the lower curves.

I find that the best style for a leather skirt is the one just above the knee. Too short a skirt and it will make you look sludgy; too long and you will drown in it. Just a few centimeters above or under the knee are the ideal lengths for leather pencil skirts.

Usually leather skirts are for casual wear teamed up with a sweater of soft material it looks great. The best colors are of course black, burgundy, brown, copper and milk. Although worn correctly -like in the photo under-, a red leather skirt can look very classy and elegant.

Leather pants

Leather trousers for this season are super-skinny. . Leather trousers should be form-fitting except at the ankle. They are worn to show off your figure. Bear in mind that there is the style and the trend for women. The best style in trousers is cigarette style of leather trousers and these are best on tall women, worn with high heels and a top made of soft material.

The new trend between a legging and a trouser is trigging. It is more casual and can be worn like leggings with long sweaters that hide the hips and bottom. See Rhiannon’s photo on the right wearing leather trigging during Paris fashion week.
