Get SHELLAC-ed and Stay Chip Free for up to 2 Weeks!

Ciao bella,

I was skeptical at first – “a nail polish that lasts and dries instantly!” How is this possible? What is the gimmick? I must admit I always tried the latest and greatest. I read my nails magazines like my Bible. But then after the purchase and use of the latest and greatest I always seemed to find my way back to my tried and true product technique. Nothing like trying something “new,” it turns out to be a learning experience that what you’ve been doing is the best all along! Oh sure you pick up a few tricks of the trade along the way. I’ve always been open to learning. In fact I have been to 2 SHELLAC classes already and they are a requirement to be the best you have to be!

Since my semi retirement in the world of cosmetology I have retained an extraordinary and quite loyal clientele. They can attest their “natural nail manicures” last from 5-8 days -- sometimes even longer! Any professional work will last longer when nails are viewed as jewels not tools! Lucky are those princesses with live-in help.

SHELLAC is a nail polish not a gel, not acrylic, that is applied in 4 coats with each coat curing under a UV light (quite safe). I incorporate a spa manicure with aromatherapy and there is no drying time! The outcome is a high gloss shine that maintains without chipping for up to two weeks! Absolutely stunning! Great for a vacation and just about all the time!

No gimmicks, no fooling – it’s the best-developed long lasting nail polish system yet. Nails become stronger with continued use! Success has followed me as I myself have experienced better natural nails! So get SHELLAC-ed today and reap the benefits by Creative’s dream team!

Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America! Have a scary and fun Hallowe’en!

The Pumpkin-not just for Halloween/Thanksgiving!

The Pumpkin-not just for Halloween/Thanksgiving!

Ciao bella,

One of the only saving graces to the end of summer and the start of autumn are the magnificent colors of the season. The grand pumpkin! Bright eye candy! It’s an uplifting sight to see them lined up at farm stands and piled up in front of the grocers. Such a sturdy fruit, so yummy and then again another of Mother Nature's beauty treatments and
medicinal cures!

This orange squash is native to North America. Approximately 90 percent of pumpkins from United States are grown in Illinois. Pumpkin color can vary but most popular are orange and yellow.

Inside the core which contain the seeds is high in nutrients with the seeds having a high Zinc content, known to be terrific for the skin. The Zinc helps to heal acne blemishes and sooth irritated skin. The alpha-hydroxy acids help to exfoliate and revitalize. The pulp is also used to reduce the appearance of scarring. The bright colored fruit are chalk full of multivitamins which nourish the skin.

The vitamin C maintains skin health by preventing the collagen from breaking down. Vitamin A softens and cleanses and softens the skin.

In days gone by it was staple food of the Native Americans. They used it to make medicine and wove dried strips of it into mats. Was also used as a cure for freckles and as a remedy for snake bites! You can find the benefits of pumpkin in your beauty aisle. There are peels and facial masks and anti-aging creams along with lotions, shampoos and body washes.

Here is a do-it-yourself facial with this extraordinary fruit! Mix 2 teaspoons pureed pumpkin, 1/2 teaspoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon heavy cream. Smooth on face leaving on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water for glowing, smoother skin!

Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America!
