Dazzle and BeLize

Ever went to a salon to get your nails done and the last time you got a manicure, it hurt. What might be up?

There are two possibilities for this.

One, you went in with an ingrown nail or infection. Ingrown nails are stuck in your skin so it hurts a lot when your nail-care lady attempts to take it out. Make sure that you get a manicure or a pedicure at least twice a month to avoid such a thing. See a doctor if it still hurts.

Two, the technician was too aggressive. Next time, set some ground rules like: “no cutting cuticles- just hangnails.” And cuticles should be pushed back only after they’ve been soaked or softened with cuticle cream. Pushing them without soaking may cause your nails to crack. And the action itself will hurt as much because there will be a lot more force required to get it done.

If you do feel pain and get cut, sterilize with alcohol. Don’t let your manicurist continue if you think she might worsen the situation. Then ask the manager for a different manicurist. Or if that doesn’t help, find a new nail salon.

Being beautiful and how you care for yourself shouldn’t hurt at all.

You have this bag which has a lot of beads and sequins going on for it. And you’re wondering how to care for these delicate-embellished bags.

Before you buy one of these delicate purses, know that you can’t fling it around like an all-purpose bag. Embellished bags are usually used only for special occasions and are not for everyday wear.

To care for one, rest it on your lap rather than the floor. You wouldn’t want the beads to be scratching on the carpet or anything, like the heels of your shoes hooking up on the needlework or the sequins of the bag. As these may accidentally tug on them and will make them loose. Make sure it’s not constantly rubbing against your coat, too. This will not be best both for your coat, especially if it’s furry, and your special bag, of course. Store it in tissue paper when not in use. It will serve as a cushion for the bag as you keep them away on boxes or cabinet drawers.

These bags usually come with extra beads or sequins, so replace any that have fallen off as soon as you notice; otherwise all the beads could unravel.

The beauty of these bags is not only seen on how delicate its embellishments are but on how well one takes good care of them.
