What is a shellac manicure?

2/27/2018

A Gel Manicure and a Shellac Manicure are essentially the same thing: long-lasting polishes cured under a LED or UV lamp. The difference is that a "gel manicure" is the generic term for nails done under a curing lamp, while Shellac is a brand of gel product patented by the company Creative Nail Design (CND). 


"Shellac" is a hybrid, of a mixture of nail polish and gel. The product can be applied similarly to nail polish on your natural nails, layered thinning for best results, without the need for sculpting or filing down, unlike acrylics, hard gel nor SNS. 


Though a little thicker in constantly, it cannot be used to extend the natural nails. However, the gel component in the "Shellac" will add strength and durability to the nail and in the long term, it should not cause damage your natural nails as much as a traditional nail enhancement, if the application and removal process is done correctly by a professional nail technician. 


A professionally done Shellac manicure should last up to two weeks, with high gloss density, and removed as soon as there is any signs of lifting, cracks or breakage, so as not to destroy the quality of your natural nail bed, which is a very important step to keep your nails strong and healthy in a long run.

​Have you ever done your eyelash extension before? Do you know what kind of style set of eyelash extension suit your eye shape? if you say ' No idea ' here is a hint !
Every eyelash extension set starts by choosing  the style and curl of the lashes.  Technician start to check your eye shape and your taste from natural to glamourous.  There are most popular 5 different kind of eye shape and recommend style.

​
Picture
For ladies who are with  wide-set or hooded eyes, longer lashes are great for you, with C or D curl in the middle of eyes, B and C curl eyelash extension are the ones you should have that will help feature your eyes more. 


Picture
For deep-set eyes, the best lashes are the longer lash extension ( 12-14 mm in length) and they should be even in length all throughout the eyes J or B curl lashes extension should be enough since they  don't need that much curl in the eyes. 

Picture
Monolid or single eyelid shape that have single crease, it is best to have alternate short and long lash extension throughout the eye so create that full and lush look. J or B curl lashes are enough to emphasize this type.

Picture
The perfect eyelash extension set for round eyes would always be the shortest on the inner eye and longer lashes on the outer for that sensual, seductive look. it is also one of the eye shapes that can wear any type of curls. J,B,C or D curl or combination of those will look amazing on this kind of eye shape. Any length is good as well.

Downturned eyes are perfect for the cat-eye look. Thinly line entire upper lashline with a dark shade, extending out and up to create a cat-eye effect.  Do not line lower lashline  C or D curl is suit for this eye shape.

There's many reasons for the explosive popularity of the new Korean drama Descendants of the Sun. Everyone in Asia has been talking about the captivating tv show starring Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki. 
Picture
Studies show that 18-24 year old female students are the biggest fans of the TV show. And it seems these girls look up to the main actress Song Hye Gyo and her enchanting beauty. What is it about Song Hye Gyo that people consider so beautiful? 

Song Hye Gyo, like many Korean actresses, has a very natural look. Using minimal colours and neutral tones, make up artists enliven Song Hye Gyo's existing beauty rather than adding harsh colours and excessive contours. The goal is effortless beauty, an 'I woke up like this' beauty that leaves people second guessing whether you're wearing any make up at all. 
This goal is best achieved through cosmetic enhancements such as semi permanent makeup and eyelash extensions. This way, you CAN wake up looking amazing every day. K-Style Beauty in Northbridge specializes in creating beauty that looks effortless and natural. Ahnna has over 10 years of experience, and having received training in Korea, is an expert in making people look at naturally beautiful as Song Hye Gyo! Come into K-Style to get your own natural '美' (Chinese character for beauty) today!

Matricol Is Coming to K-Style

2/22/2016

0 Comments

 
MATRICOL is a revolutionary new mask treatment scientifically proven to hydrate skin, reduce wrinkles, and help reduce irritation. It is patented in Germany and is increasingly popular in Korea. Koreans are electing to add this MATRICOL treatment onto their regular facial treatments, as it is not a mask that is easy to do at home. 
MATRICOL is a mask like no other. It uses a freeze drying process and mimics a "second skin". 
​The great thing about MATRICOL is its suitability for all skin types. Because it helps reduce irritation, redness, and inflammation, even sensitive, dry, and easily reddened skin types can benefit from MATRICOL's infusion of collagen. The collagen is all-natural and because of the "second skin" technology, it provides maximum absorption into your skin. 

MATRICOL is a perfect addition to any facial treatments, especially skin-needling and microdermabrasion. Take a look at the video above to see how MATRICOL works. Remember to ask for MATRICOL at your next facial treatment for an instant boost in your skin's vibrance.

6 Reasons Gel is Better Than Acrylic

2/13/2016

1 Comment

 
Acrylic nails have been the go-to treatment for decades. But gel nails are gaining in popularity, especially in Korea. Why is this? Here's 6 reasons why gel is better than acrylic, and why you should consider asking for gel overlays instead of acrylic the next time you're at the nail salon. 
Picture
Gel overlay process - pretty funky looking huh?
1.  Acrylic nails are harmful. Full of dangerous substances, the toxins and chemicals inside acrylic nails include formaldehyde and resin. Yuck! Over time, these chemicals can lead to cancer. Not to mention the permanent damage to your beautiful, natural nails! Sticking to gel overlay reduces your exposure to nasty toxins. 

2.  Acrylic nails smell bad. Closely related to #1. If you've ever been in a nail salon, you know that distinctly chemical smell that acrylic nails give off. It's unpleasant at best, and terrible for your health at worst.
