Shellac Manicure – 14 Days of Wear!

norma — Sat, 01 May 2010 22:11:45 +0000

New!  Creative Nail Design has introduced the first hybrid nail color after nearly five years of development in its state-of-the-art laboratory. Now you can say good-bye to chips, smudges, and dry time and say hello to Shellac™ Hybrid Nail Color! This revolutionary product applies like polish, wears flawlessly for 14 days of high gloss shine, and is removed in minutes.

Shellac paints on like polish – base coat, color, top coat – and is cured in a UV light so there is zero dry time. The colors are hypo-allergenic, and “3-Free” - no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. Shellac will launch in a range of 12 varieties of shades, from pretty French pinks and whites, to siren red and rich darks. The formula is thin and flexible like polish, so it not only looks natural, it provides strong natural nail protection with a resilient mirror finish that resists dullness and chipping, even during the most rigorous activities.

As amazing as Shellac is on, removal is just as satisfying! No soaking, drilling or filing is necessary. Nails are wrapped in individual Shellac Remover Wraps -integrated cotton pads that limit finger and skin exposure to acetone by keeping it pinpointed on just the nail. Ten minutes of time in exchange for two weeks of perfect color is all it takes. Say good-bye to manicure frustration and hello to pure manicure satisfaction.

Shellac can also be applied to the toes for a long wearing pedicure – perfect for the beach!

ODS Technology in INOA

norma — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:39:19 +0000

Traditional Permanent Haircolor was the standard BEFORE ODS:

How traditional permanent haircolor with ammonia works: Ammonia ensures the penetration of colorants into the hair for a perfect color result – ammonia swells (blows open) the hair to allow colorants & oxidant to penetrate the cortex. However, this mixture is water based, therefore some colorants stay outside of the hair fiber and never get colored. The mixture inside the hair cortex will begin to react and oxidize with the oxidant, thus creating two effects: 1. lightens hair pigments 2. transforms colorants into color.

However, there is another alkaline agent that is used in semi-permanent color called MEA. MEA opens the hair with minimal impact (compared to Ammonia). It is usually not enough for colorants to penetrate the hair fiber, especially when colorants are in the water base on the outside of the hair. For this reason, Permanent color with MEA alone do not pigment hair efficiently.

Introducing ODS – Oil Delivery System Technology – THE HAIRCOLOR OF THE FUTURE!

ODS – Oil based system boosts the action of MEA and alkaline agents during the coloring process, ODS is based on two major features: 1. High concentration of oils 2. Elimination of ammonia!! Here’s how:

Oil in the ODS system coats the hair fiber. MEA opens the hair lightly (with little change in the structure) as the colorants and the oxidant are pushed deeper into the hair by the oil. Colorants & Alkaline agents are water based, so they are repelled by the oil and the active ingredients move inside the hair.

Coupled with the ODS system, MEA becomes highly efficient in ensuring the penetration of all colorants into the hair cortex. The mixture inside the cortex will begin to react and oxidize alkaline agents creating two effects: 1. Lightens the hair pigments. 2. Transforms colorants into color.
