I hate the cold weather! I especially hate having to take my glove off to text a message.  Guess what? No more cold hands.  We don't have to take a glove off anymore thanks to touch screen gloves. These Isotoner Smart Touch Gloves are stretchy and comfortable and have conductive thread on the index finger and thumb that conveys electrical impulses to a touch screen.  How cool is that? I have a pair and the work great!

So many of my clients experience dry splitting nails and dry cuticles with lots of hangnails in the winter.  The dry winter air and too much exposure to water is to blame.  Keep your hands out of water as much as possible, apply lots of moisturizer throughout the day and wear your gloves, warm winter gloves outside and rubber gloves for cleaning and doing dishes.   Heal dry cracked cuticles by applying cuticle oil or just plain olive oil to them, then layer on a healing balm such as petroleum jelly or Balmex before bed. You can also try cuticle oil.  CND Solar Oil is a fabulous nail and cuticle oil you can also try. I use it on my clients during their manicures. It contains nourishing oils, Jojoba, Almond and Vitamin E, that penetrate and protect the nails and skin. Find it in salons and spas for about $9 .00 for a 7.3ml (.25 oz) bottle.            Have a Beautiful Day!  xo Jill Licensed Cosmetolog...

If your nail polish look like this... it's time for new nail polish! It has lived it's life!  You may be able to get it to remix but, it most likely won't dry right or give you a nice shine.  They say the shelf life for nail polish is 2 years but I think it can be longer if stored properly. Polish Storage Tips Avoid Heat Heat and sun exposure can cause changes in the color and consistency of your polish. Store it in a cool, dry, dark place, not the medicine cabinet in your bathroom! Keep it Closed Tight Keep the nail polish bottle's lid tightly closed to keep the solvents in the polish from evaporating . Solvents keep the polish the proper consistency.  Clean old hard polish from the neck of the polish bottle to ensure a tight seal. Keep it Extra Cool Some people think refrigerating their polish makes it last longer. I think just a cool, dry place is fine! Store Upright Store nail polish in an upright position. This will prevent a messy leak if the lid wasn't on ti...
