BRISA LITE & BRISA LITE SMOOTH GEL NAILS
2013 is looking a lot like it's going to be a huge year in the nail industry and Brisa Lite is the first exciting innovation to come from CND. In a nutshell, Brisa Lite is better, easier and safer for nails.
Brisa Lite is the first removable gel that is safe, colour stable and provides UP TO three weeks wear. Whether you're using the Smoothing Gel System or the Sculpting Gel System, Brisa Lite instills serious "beauty confidence" by creating a complete set of natural-looking, perfect nails.
Todays modern, well educated women that have imperfect nails, are resistant to having traditional hard gels because they can be a pain to remov and can only be removed by filing/buffing the gel off the natural nail, they are a challenge to look natural and no matter what any one says, removing surface shine or buffing the natural nail plate can damage your nail if done improperly and even if it's just a teeny-weeny bit.
Brisa Lite changes all this. It's formulated using Brisa's toughness and durability combined with Shellac's removal technologies. The technology delivers long wear and flexibility and the addition of solvents promotes removability allowing it to be taken off in pretty much the same way as Shellac, using Shellac Nourishing Remover. Plus the base coat technology, which also aids easy removal, also means increased adhesion.
**Brisa Lite is ideal for those few ladies who struggle to keep Shellac on due to weak or bendy nails.
Brisa Lite can be applied under Shellac to provide extra strength and can also be used to extend
nails safely with NO FILING OF THE NAIL PLATE before application**
CND Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel
Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel is a unique strengthening gel that was designed specifically for weak, peeling and splitting nails.
What are the benefits of Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel?
It works perfectly as a‘power partner’ to Shellac, providing extra durability and strength for those who find their challenged nails prevent them from experiencing its lasting power
It can also be worn alone as a clear, glossy overlay and is ideal to help growth & protect your nails from further damage
Ideal for smoothing dented, ridged nails
Requires absolutely NO buffing/filing of the nail plate, which is known to cause damage
Why do you need it?
Easy on: Smoothes in one coat, 5 finger application, four times more controllable
Easy off: Removes in 15 minutes without soaking in acetone; five times faster than soakable gels
Exceptional wear: Helps your Shellac to last up to 3 weeks!

SHELLAC NAILS
Shellac goes on like a polish and wears like a gel. It is a high shine, mirror finish product that lasts at least 2 weeks and has zero dry time. Shellac was voted product of the year and comes in a range of colours or you can go for a French finish to suit all occasions. The Independent called Shellac the latest and most groundbreaking innovation in nails. Using UV3 technology there is nothing else like it on the market.
Launched in 2010 with 12 individual colours this has now been expanded and in March 2011 another 12 colours were added to the range ensuring there is a beautiful look to suit all my clients requirements and styles and since then another 12 colours have been added and will continue to be added. I stock all 36 colours so the most difficult thing when you visit for a Shellac treatment is choosing which of the fabulous colours to have. I also create lots of new colours by layering.
Since I started using Shellac it has fast become my number one treatment and my clients love it and you can relax in the knowledge that I use the full system and CND UV Light so you get the proper Shellac experience as there are a lot of fake treatments available.

REFECTOCIL EYELASH & EYEBROW TINTING
Eyelashes and eyebrows tinted with RefectoCil simply look better! The lashes appear clearly longer and more voluminous, as the tinting accentuates the full length of the lashes faded by sun and water. Light brows can be accentuated by a dark tint; dark brows can be lightened to match dyed blond hair or to be co-ordinated in brightness and colour with any hair colour.
With tinted eyelashes the eyes look more vivid, even in the morning when waking up they already look expressive. In addition eyelash tinting is extremely practical and time-saving, because daily application of mascara is avoided! With tinted eyelashes the eyelashes and eyes look expressive and attractive for weeks - even without mascara. When using mascara unpleasant clumps often cause individual lashes to stick together. With tinted eyelashes there is no such problem, because the colour penetrates into each individual lash - without sticking them together or producing clumps. Particularly for contact lens wearers eyelash tinting is ideal. They frequently suffer because the fine Mascara particles irritate the eye. For sport enthusiasts eyelash tinting is perfect, as it is water resistant for weeks and even when sweating does not smear or run.
