Makeup

I'm constantly checking social media for different makeup inspiration to come up with new techniques or just something new to try. I love seeing all the different things that people are doing out there but there is one thing that always catches my attention and that's special effects makeup. It can be simple and sweet or it can be gory and intense. It's really cool to see what all the amazing artists out there come up with.

They're not your everyday look but they're equally as beautiful and amazing. Takes a nice steady hand and the right product to create these looks but the end result is so worth it. As someone who is into comic con, videogames, comic books etc... these looks always intrigue me and it's awesome to see the different looks come to life!!!

Nail Hack

One thing I've come to love the look of is matte nails. I never really did them on myself but loved the way they looked on everyone else. There was one problem though that was brought to my attention from my clients.... it dented, marked really easy and just didn't last like other top coats did. Well I have found a solution!

Now that I have longer nails and enjoy painting them and love the look of matte nails, I had to find a way to make it last. I've experimented on a couple different colours and different types of polish as well and all have the same results! They last up until I decide to change the colour and they look just as good as the first day that I painted them. I've even tried to dent them myself by pressing one of my other nails into it, scratched them and the durability just seems better all around with my little trick!

So what you need to do is...

1. Apply your base coat to all your nails
2. Choose your favourite colour(s) and apply 2 coats
3. Before I apply the matte top coat, I apply Seche Vite top coat; I've also tried different top coats to see if I could get the same results and they work. Just a preference to use Seche Vite (also the added bonus of helping your nails dry quicker is always nice)
4. Now is when you add your choice of matte top coat over top the previous top coat

Hope this helps! Happy painting ^_^

Nail Art

I've always enjoyed doing nail art and learning new techniques and new trends that people seem to get on board with and some of them are very beautiful. Recently I talked about 'shattered glass' which was the nail trend to start the year off. The nails to look forward to in the fall of this year is the negative space nails.

This nail art can be done on either natural nails or on artificial nails. This beautiful look is done on a nude nail with your choice of accent colour(s), geometric designs, lines, or any shape or design that you desire and the obvious 'negative space'.

the fresh perspective...

A new day, a new chance.

Something about the New year really gets me excited.  I mean, I do LOVE Christmas (it's my fave holiday) but resolutions remind me of new beginnings and new starts.  Promises to myself to try to be better, and to set goals.  New years make me think of new days and how every new day gives us another chance.

I'm often asked how I do it, or how I keep it together?  I try to get a good sleep and I wait for the next day.  Have you ever seen a prairie sun rise?  It's incredible.  It's very inspiring.  It makes you feel----I can't describe it.  You need to see one to understand.   The morning sun shows us the newness of the day on an expanse of field till your eyes can see nothing but the horizon.  That act of the 'sun coming up' has a way of dissolving the drama from the day before it.

We just finished conducting a questionnaire about how Freshair Boutique can be better and I would like to thank all the clients that participated in this effort to help us grow and be a staple in the community.  We are turning 6 this year and every single new day has brought us to this point. We are happy to have another chance to help you with all your hair needs and nail needs and fashion needs and, you know where this is going...

That's the fresh perspective...
