WEDNESDAY WISDOM
I’m so proud of my son, he seen a kid balled up into a corner crying, so he went to console him, grabbed his hand and walked him inside of the school! It is an honor to raise such a loving, compassionate child! He’s a kid with a Big heart, the first day of school started off right 🥰💙🥰 ~~facebook
LOVE? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE…?
“Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.” Danny – age 7
If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,” Nikka – age 6
A four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him cry”.
Let’s try to show one act of kindness TODAY…WE need it.

CUTICLES! CUTICLES! CUTICLES!
Not one left any where! The Russian Manicure. That’s the nouveau wave of cuticle damage, in my opinion, that is hitting our industry with the potential of thousands of run around victims in the future. Damaged cuticles.
That’s the look of this new type manicure. Remove ALL cuticle! Cuticles are not to be cut or E-filed for beautification.
I’m talking about the Russian Manicure. Some claim the manicure/polish lasts longer. One professional even said, ‘…the gels/acrylics last longer cause you can get right up under the cuticle.’ What!? When did putting product under the cuticle become ok for the well-being of the client’s skin and nails and possibly overall health. If the product can be placed underneath the cuticle, so can germs and bacteria.
What Is It?
Some people around the globe are teaching a highly risky technique that goes by several different names including, the “Russian” or “Equipment” or “Dry” or “E-File” manicure.
The process is to use an electronic file with very fine bits to file off the dead/dry skin or cuticle around the nail plate. Tissue is also filed from the nail plate.
This isn’t a new look. It resulted in the condition called “run around” when we didn’t know of the long-term effects of cutting off live tissue/cuticle. The result was the cuticles are then permanently puffy and tender because the nail techs took off the living tissue(cuticle)the proximal fold or the eponychium during the manicure.
The proximal fold, lateral side walls, and the hyponychium create the 4 required guardian seals to protect the nail bed and matrix from harmful germs and bacteria. We never want to cut or sand down live skin! ~~Nail Care HQ

Today notice the little things that make your day special.
WEDNESDAY WISDOM
“Every person passing through this life will unknowingly leave something and take something away. Most of this “something” cannot be seen or heard or numbered or scientifically detected or counted. It’s what we leave in the minds of other people and what they leave in ours. Memories. The census doesn’t count it. Nothing counts without it.”

Do Vitamin Deficiencies Cause Fingernail Ridges?
Your fingernails can say a lot about you, including whether or not you’re consuming enough vitamins and minerals. Getting insufficient amounts of certain B-complex vitamins can cause ridges in your fingernails. However, lack of certain minerals and protein, as well as various health conditions, can cause these lines in fingernails too.
Deficiencies in zinc, folic acid, iron and protein may cause fingernail ridges. The appearance of your nails may also indicate that you’re experiencing other health issues, like psoriasis or kidney problems. ~LivingStrong
**Should you have any issues or concerns with skin, hair or nails, please consult your physician.

FINGERNAILS
Why do we have fingernails? They are not just on the tips of your fingers to beautify your hands but to protect and aid in your daily activities.
Nails serve several important purposes.
- They help humans function. Nails are basically flat versions of claws that help humans dig, climb, scratch, grab, and more.
- They guard against injuries. They serve as protective plates that help prevent the fingers and toes from getting cut or scraped during daily activities.
- They enhance the sensation. The fingers and toes contain nerve endings that allow the body to process the volumes of information that it receives every time something is touched—and the nail acts as a counter force, providing even more sensory input after a person touches something. ~verywell health
MONDAY MANI ~ Nail Anatomy
*The cuticle and proximal nail fold is often called “the cuticle” and is often cut as part of the manicure service. The cuticle should be removed by soaking the fingers in warm soapy water, and a cuticle remover used to help lift the sticky cuticle from the nail plate by pushing and lightly scraping(…yes) but not cutting.
*Please see photo
Fingernail: A fingernail is produced by living skin cells in the finger. A fingernail consists of several parts including the nail plate (the visible part of the nail), the nail bed (the skin beneath the nail plate), the cuticle (the tissue that overlaps the plate and rims the base of the nail), the nail grooves (the skin folds that frame and support the nail on three sides), the lunula (the whitish half-moon at the base of the nail) and the matrix (the hidden part of the nail unit under the cuticle).
THE NAIL=Onyx
An appendage of the skin, this horny,translucent plate protects the tips of fingers and toes. The nail is composed mainly of keratin. A healthy nail should be whitish and translucent in appearance, with the pinkish color of the nail bed below showing through.
