The latest in nail and eye decoration is here
Since time immemorial women have used makeup to enhance their eyes and draw attention to themselves. The long list of cosmetics like eye shadows, mascaras, kohls, eyeliners and others now includes ornaments for the eyelids, lashes and eyebrows.
Designer Jean-Paul Gaultier was the first to send his models on the catwalk with glittering eyelids setting off a worldwide trend. Eye glamour is accented with glittering stick-on eyeliner bands and Swarowski rhinestones glued onto eyelids, under eyebrows and in intricate patterns around the eyes. With a little creativity it is possible to have an endless variety of stunning, sparkling and glamorous looks this season.
Complementing the glittering faces are the latest nail decorations. Gone are the days when doing your nails meant filing them and putting on some nail polish. Nail extension and decoration is a fast developing area of cosmetology. Beautiful nails are now fashion accessories that complement the clothes and make-up. Artistic and colourful designs can be painted on nails with an airbrush and they can be decorated with glitter, rhinestones or beads. Colourful nail bindis are in vogue and the most powerful nail fashion statement this season is nail piercing to wear tiny silver rings on the nails.
La Femme Beauty Salon in the Beach Centre has a wide variety of the latest eye and nail decorations. The salon also offers a range of professional nail treatments. Natural nail strengthening, overlays, gel nail extensions, silk or fibreglass wraps for broken nails, permanent French manicures, nail piercing, paraffin treatments for hand and feet, toenail reconstruction, toenail extension and treatment of ingrown nails are among the services available.
The salon also conducts professional training courses for manicurists and beauticians and has recently started courses on permanent make-up and body painting.
