How to strengthen your natural nails

A question we’re getting asked a lot right now- How to strengthen your natural nails. So we’ve put together a little list of nail rescue products if you want to take care of your natural nails and give them a little TLC during the lockdown.

The Best website to get these from seem to be Nail Polish Direct. But we will pop all the links in this post. These aren’t the cheapest options out there but they are the ones we use in the salon so we can fully vouch for them! We’ll do some research on some cheaper alternatives for our next post also.

Step by Step Guide

Firstly, you’ll want a good nail strengthener. Your nails will feel quite strange for the first few days after removing your acrylic or gel. And depending on how careful you have been whilst removing, they could be a little tender. This is quite normal, so try not to worry. We love the OPI Nail Envy and yes this stuff really does work! Next, you might want to use a ridge filler. Removing your own nails from home isn’t the easiest thing to do, and you may be left with some ridges 😥 This makes us so sad!

So this OPI ridge filler from the Ultimate Shine collection will be the perfect remedy.

Now time for some colour! If you dare 😂 There are tons of gorgeous OPI colours on this website. We recommend the Infinite shine range as they are long-lasting, quick-drying and sooo nice!

If you don’t want to wear a colour skip straight to the last step, which is to apply the Top Coat. Now, this is our ultimate hack! The OPI Infinite Shine Primer (not topcoat) is AMAZING as a Topcoat. It keeps your colour on for twice as long! It’s also super shiny.

We recommend reapplying your Nail Envy every couple of days to keep building strength.

Then remove everything once a week and start again.

Top Tip-Don’t rush. Leave plenty of time between applying each layer. I like to do one hand at a time so that I always have one free hand because I can’t bear the thought of not doing anything for more than 5 minutes 😂

We can not wait to see you back again to make your nails feel beautiful again. If you have any questions at all feel free to contact 

How to remove eyelash extensions

Although we hate the thought of you having to remove your lashes, we are aware it may come to this. So we wanted to advise all of our lovely lash clients how to remove eyelash extensions safely.

On the plus side- this may be the perfect opportunity for you to have a little break from lash extensions (deep breath). So here it goes….

We recommend Nouveau Lash Extension Remover, you can purchase this online.

This product is a gentle formula that will effectively and comfortably remove your lash extensions in the comfort of your own home. Whilst conditioning your natural lashes and reducing any risk of damage.

Once you have this product please ensure you remove contact lenses before you begin.

Apply directly to the lash extensions using the sponge tip applicator and leave for 3 – 5 minutes before gently brushing along the lashes to remove the extensions.

Ensure you rinse away any excess residue from the product and use a saline eye wash if required.

Good luck and please don’t hesitate to message if you have any questions.

In the meantime, why not have a browse through Permanent Makeup or Skincare menu’s and start planning your pamper time for after the Lockdown 🙂

Christmas time can be very exciting yet frantic, packed with family reunions and Christmas parties, but it can also take its toll on our health and wellbeing. Nursing a hangover isn’t the ideal way to start the New Year, whilst sticking to New Year resolutions can also be a struggle.

The key to starting afresh in the New Year is getting back into routine and reenergising ourselves. We need to snap out of the ‘Oh well, it’s Christmas’ attitude and pick ourselves up. At Rebecca Jaynes, we have a few tips for you to banish any post-Christmas blues and be prepared for the New Year. As they say New Year, new me; by just coming up with a few lifestyle changes and putting a stop to any bad habits, you can be a much more happy and confident person in the New Year.

Be active:

Many people say that their New Year resolution is to become healthier and more active, but often those plans are quickly forgotten about, especially when we notice all the left-over chocolates lying around the house. Overindulging during the festive period can cause you to feel sluggish and it can be difficult to get out of. Go for that first run and get that gym session out the way and you’ll feel much better. Are you exercising often without seeing much improvement?

For some people, despite going to the gym regularly, trying to get rid of stubborn fat can be a lifetime struggle. If it is really getting you down, give yourself the boost you need with our new LipoContrast machine and get body confident in 2017. Our body sculpting LipoContrast will leave you with amazing results for areas such as your lower stomach and you can achieve abs to be proud of. It could be the motivation that you need to get healthy and become more active.

Bring bright colours into your life this New Year:

Mark the beginning of 2017 by throwing on a vibrant scarf or getting your nails glammed up. We associate Christmas with over-the-top, sparkly nails but our lovely nail technicians can come up with the set of nails to lift your spirit. Treat yourself to some me-time in the salon and go for bold and exciting colours or try new designs for your nails so that you feel extra good during January.

Semi-permanent brows:

Eyebrows can make or break your whole look. Why not throw away your never ending collection of brow pencils and try our microblading in Blackpool to achieve long lasting, natural brows? Our semi-permanent makeup service near Manchester has seen many amazing results for our clients and has given their look a real boost. Our very own talented Rebecca Abram knows the ins and outs of this procedure so rest assured, you will be leaving the beauty salon with the most perfect set of natural, undetectable brows.

Dry January:

After a month filled with heavy drinking, a lot of people take part in dry January. It’s such a great way to get out of your lazy habits and concentrate on the New Year. Being hangover-free for a whole month will make you feel so fresh and your skin will definitely look much smoother and healthier.

With only a few weeks left until Christmas, the severe weather conditions and chaotic festive season can take its toll on your beauty regimen. Late nights and overtime at work can make it increasingly difficult to get your makeup perfect and have your skin up to scratch. The festive season is no doubt a lot of fun, but it can also leave you a little deflated. It is important during this period to have some me-time, whether it is a girls’ pampering night or a spa day.

At Rebecca Jaynes, we aim to get all our clients party ready and feeling their best. Here are our few winter favourites to get you party ready:
