LEARN MORE about the cover nails and the artists behind them at nailpro.com/videos/ Splash of behind-the-cover! COLOR Quick jabs and big laughs were part of the backstage banter among cover artists Danny Haile and Vu Nguyen, but when it came down to doing the nails, it was all business. This month, we invited the art-and-craft duo to tag team the cover set with a truly bright design. CEO and founder of Gelish Haile, “the crafter,” created extensions using the newest product to the brand, revolutionary PolyGel, a high-viscosity gel that makes for super easy and quick enhancements. Once Haile Ɠ led and shaped the extensions to perfection, “the artist,” Gelish dean of education Nguyen, stepped in to create a marbleized look. Of course, when it came to choosing the hero hue for this design, there was no way we could choose just one. Fortunately, the Gelish Make a Splash Summer Collection has such a drool- worthy palette that we decided to use them all! Nguyen’s trick? Mixing PolyGel with Gelish color to create his own easy-to-blend mixture. The Ɠ nal touch: white striping tape (Haile’s idea). Not only did it create deƓ nition among the myriad hues, but it was also a nod to the detailing seen in many swimsuits—proving that this collection is deƓ nitely pool-party approved.

NEWS MAGIC MOMENT When Opening Ceremony presented its spring 2018 collection in March at “The Happiest Place on Earth”—Disneyland—China Glaze was on hand backstage creating whimsical Mickey Mouse nails that perfectly captured the magic of the evening. After showcasing the spring collection, Opening Ceremony surprised guests of the event with a second runway show to debut its upcoming Disney collaboration celebrating Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday.

Scrub, wink-wink.com

With several states legalizing recreational marijuana use this year, and many other states relaxing restrictions, the once-illicit cannabis plant is gaining new fans at an unlikely place: the beauty counter. Cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabinoid compound derived from the cannabis plant, is quickly becoming the new “it” ingredient in beauty products ranging from bath bombs to beauty balms that aim to relieve pain, reduce inŴ ammation, treat skin conditions like acne and psoriasis and even Ɠ ght signs of aging. “CBD has been proven to be a powerful anti-inŴ ammatory and antioxidant,” says Olivia Alexander, founder of Kush Queen, which makes a variety of cannabis-infused beauty products. “We know the power of antioxidants in protecting our skin from free radicals.” The chic packaging and sophisticated branding of this new wave of CBD products is piquing the interest of beauty aƓ cionados who may never have considered using cannabis-infused products in the past but are eager to try the latest trends. Earlier this year, CBD beauty products even made a debut at TMG International’s 14th annual pre-Oscar Beauty & Lifestyle Suite at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. One thing CBD products won’t do, however, is get you high. Unlike its cannabinoid cousin, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, CBD is nonpsychoactive. CBD derived from low-THC, industrial-grade hemp plants (as opposed to THC-containing marijuana plants) is legal in most states. Some manufacturers, such as Kush Queen, also make THC-infused beauty products, however the sale of beauty products containing THC is restricted and varies by state, with some allowing purchases only at dispensaries, which require a medical marijuana card. As demand—and curiosity—has grown surrounding cannabis-infused beauty products, the nail industry is taking notice. At bimonthly Mani Pedi Oh So Heady events held in nail salons in California, for example, ticket holders can enjoy manis and pedis utilizing CBD-spiked beauty products and check out cannabis-infused goods from a variety of vendors. The Bellecures chain of nail salons is also catering to the CBD-curious with the recent launch of its Canna-Cure mani and pedi services, featuring Kush Queen CBD products, at all seven of its Southern California locations. “With the legalization of cannabis in California, we wanted to offer our clients a new way to feel relaxed and refreshed,” says Gerard Quiroga, owner of the Bellacures nail salon brand. “We’re marketing the Canna-Cure as a service for anybody who wants a relaxing, pampering,btherapeutic experience that is aimed at relieving aches andbpains.” The service includes a Kush Queen Relieve Pure CBD Bath Bomb soak, exfoliation with the Renew CBD Hand and Foot Scrub, a massage with the Melt Away Pain Relief Lotion and a CBD chocolate.

Known for her impeccable traditional and gel manicures, as well as her detailed nail art, Remark shares Ɠ ve things that are inspiring her work right now.
