How to strengthen your natural nails

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 🙂

How to Remove Acrylic or Gel Nails

How to remove Acrylic or Gel nail extensions

It pains us to say, it may get to the point where you need these instructions on how to remove acrylic or gel nails. So we put together some instructions for you…

  • Buff or file off the top layer of the enhancements. You may want to shorten the nails with a nail file first. This will speed up the process
  • Emerge nails into a bowl of acetone, and leave to soak. Pure acetone will work faster than standard nail polish remover. (You can buy pure acetone online to avoid going out to the chemist.)
  • It isn’t a quick process and could take quite some time for the nails to start to meltdown, so it will need a little patience. Placing your bowl of acetone into a bowl of warm water whilst you soak can speed up the process.
  • Gently push the acrylic or gel from the nail plate using something with a flat edge. Preferably with an orangewood stick or cuticle pusher, however, the back of a spoon will do the trick! You will need to repeat this a few times until the product is completely removed. You can use your nail file to gently file away any remaining residue.

Your nails are likely to feel dry and brittle and your hands will have a white powder residue on them from the acetone. Apply a moisturiser or cuticle oil (coconut oil will do) and if you have one, apply a nail strengthening product regularly. We recommend OPI nail Envy.

Good Luck! And if you need any help please comment below or follow us on Facebook for more tips and advice

Eyebrows – Why do you need an eyebrow retouch?

Eyebrow Retouch

Why do you need a brow retouch?

Sometimes when your brows go through the healing process, they can lose the odd hairstroke and they can also soften in colour.

The eyebrow retouch visit service that Rebecca Jayne’s provide is available to correct any imperfections.

It also allows your technician to work cautiously on the first appointment. Here is a great example of starting super subtle for my client. We started with very natural hairstrokes (second photo) as Laura was unsure of how strong she wanted her brows.

Once they had healed she had the chance to see them healed, wear them and get used to them for a few weeks. So it was an easy decision to make when she came back to me. She fancied them a little darker with a little more shading.

To book your FREE eyebrow retouch consultation with Rebecca Jayne ( Permanent Makeup Specialist ) please either call 07949 281398 or use our online contact form here.

The key to Natural Permanent Makeup and Microblading

Natural Permanent Makeup & Microblading

The key to natural Permanent Makeup and Microblading is super fine hair-strokes or soft powder implanted in the upper dermal layer of the skin.

Whilst working it’s important to have a super tight stretch on the skin and a very delicate light touch. Barely any pressure is needed for the correct amount of implantation, making it relatively painless. Most clients liken the discomfort to threading or tweezing.

Hairstroke placement is also really important and should always follow the growth of the natural hair.

Here is a closer look of the detail created in this hair stroke brow treatment for my Competition winner.
