We organize our closets and office chairs in order to keep everything organized, and to make sure everything is where it should be. By giving it a good scrubbing, filling, painting, or time revising a manicure book or a file that will help reduce the filing down to a minimum, we hope to create a neat look for our next appointment.
First, when it comes to organization lies the book. If you bring a thick book with you Every time you turn a page it takes glances at all the messes and stains you have on the pages, the remnants of past manicures, and offers suggestions on what should be done to achieve your goal. If you only bring the book in your purse, you’ll spend all of your time cramming in the information. Instead, visit your local nail salon for a light breakfast and a little research.
Once you’ve done that, you can take the time to look at different décor and colors to pick the one that best matches your look. When picking a color, keep your skin tone in mind. A UV yellow hue may not be flattering on light complexions, but a darker, slather yellow may be exactly what you’re looking for. If you think you have seen it too many times, take a photo, and take a friend along with you, and ask the manicurist for their opinion.
They need to know how good it will look on your skin, so if you’re not sure, ask them. If you look good in yellow, (but not on orange) I’m sure you’ll be fine.
