This week I had a client who is heading off to Vietnam for three weeks backpacking. A girl has needs and having nice nails, a base tan and tinted lashes are a holiday essential, especially in the sunshine! (Obviously things like hair removal are part of the day to day necessities, so we didn't include those in the pre-holiday prep!)
Gel nails are a great addition to your pre-holiday preparation along with having a base tan, so it's not obvious you've just arrived! Gel nails and toes are more durable in the sand, sun and sandals and they last longer than regular polish. Gel Color polish will last up to two weeks with proper aftercare and up to six weeks on your toes. The gel does grow out with your toenails, so you may need to replenish the colour to hide the growth and by reapplying a topcoat it keeps them shiny throughout the wear and tear from sand, salt and sunscreen.
He-Shi Gradual tan (£14.50) is a great precursor to a sunny holiday because it gently builds up colour and you can take it with you to soften the contrast of the 'white bits' or bikini lines. Apply as a normal moisturiser and watch your colour gradually develop with regular use. This product does not contain sunscreen, so an SPF 30 is recommended for high coverage.
Eyelash tinting is a wonderful way of creating a longer and more defined look. Natural lashes often have paler tips which make the lash appear shorter, so by tinting the entire lash it enhances length and definition. A tint test must be performed 24-48 hours in advance to check for allergies. Eyelash tinting lasts 4-6 weeks and it's advisable to wear sunglasses to prevent the tint from fading (just like what happens to the natural lightening of your hair in the sun).
