Who Said Snake Skin Was Just for Fashion?

 

Ladies if you thought snake skin was just for fashion and apparel, you’re in for a huge surprise! The snake skin look is definitely taking over, but this time it’s on our hands and feet ;)

No Ordinary Nail Art

 

Kiss your ordinary mani and pedi goodbye and say hello to the Bio Sculpture Gel Snake Skin fetish that’s making everyone go wild!

This sexy snake skin look is made from 100%, natural snake skin and is cut to size and shaped to perfectly fit your nails. 

Unlike most nail art designs, the snake skin application is a brand new manicure/pedicure technique that lasts up to three weeks.  And the best part is- It won’t chip!

Step by Step Process for Snake Skin Nails

1.   Apply your favorite color(s) to go underneath the snakeskin

2.   Cure the gel for 2 minutes under a UV light box

3.   Hand-cut snake skin pieces to fit your nails

4.   Dip snake skin pieces into clear gel on both sides

5.   Spread snake skin over nails like a piece of wall paper

6.   Shape, Trim and Clean nails

7.   Finish with a thin coating of clear gel 

Things to Know

The process takes about 2.5 hours total and the price range is anywhere from $150-$300.

Why Use Bio Sculpture Gel?

Because it’s The Gel that works!

As the Inventors of: Soak Off Gel, Color Gel, and Gel Nail Sculptures. Bio Sculpture leads the nail industry in all categories: Appearance, Health, Durability, Simplicity and Ease of Application and Removal.

Applied without any primers or bonders, Bio Sculpture natural nail gels will not lift, chip, crack or wear away at the free edge if applied correctly.

The Healthier Alternative

Bio Sculpture Gel strengthens, conditions, and promotes the growth of your natural nails while allowing weak, brittle nails to grow. There is no inhaling of dust, vapors, smelly odors and no excessive buffing before, during, or after application. Gel can quickly and safely be removed within ten to fifteen minutes with Bio Sculpture Gel Remover (Soak Off).

No Chip Manicures

Gel is applied thin and natural looking without the use of primers, bonders or sealers. Strong and durable, yet flexible, Bio Sculpture Gel gives the nail the ability to bend without cracking or splintering. It will not lift, chip, smudge, or wear away at the free edge for weeks on end. It dries instantly under a UV-A light, so no more waiting for polish to dry. 

Chip Proof Pedicures

No drying time! Put on your shoes and walk right out the door with no smudged toenails. Keep feet immaculately groomed for weeks with no worn or ragged edges. We offer an extensive pedicure line for treating and nourishing feet and toes.

It’s Elegant. It’s Sexy. It’s Lace!

Meet Fall’s New Stellar Trend and Polished Look for the Modern Sexy Woman with an All-Purpose Style. 

Who Says Lace Was Invented Just for the Bedroom?

Lace is one of the largest growing trends this fall. It’s been seen on many celebrities and looks hot any time of day. 

Whether you’re going to a big gala, local event in town or even to work, you are bound to stop traffic wearing this sexy look. 

Bring Your Sexy Back in Lace 

 One of the reasons why I love lace this season is because of its versatility and appeal to the everyday woman. 

Whether you’re a hot twenty-two or fabulous forty-year-old, there’s plenty of trendy lace looks that will compliment your style and most importantly make you feel confident in what you’re wearing. 

Sure, we all want to be sexy, but why not be confident and comfortable while doing it?

I have some great tips for you on the best places to shop to pick up your favorite lace pieces!

How to Wear: Fashion Tips From AmourGenesis  

Tip #1 When wearing your lace try to choose colors that compliment your skin tone and flatter your shape. 

Tip #2 Because lace is made of open and see-through patterns, you always have to make sure it looks classy, sophisticated and tasteful. The last thing any style diva wants is to look like she has no clue about fashion.

Tip #3 Always remember to wear appropriate undergarments. For example, if you’re wearing white lace, you should be wearing a white bra, panty or slip underneath so that you don’t draw the wrong attention or interfere with the colors of your outfit. If you’re wearing odd colors like reds, blues, purples, pinks, etc.- you should wear undergarments that are subtle in color and don’t take any attention away from your look. 

Tip #4 Don’t be afraid to accessorize and play up your lace. The delicacy of lace is so pretty that you don’t need much, but there’s nothing wrong with simple accessories. You can play up your lace with a variety of accessories like: gloves, fishnet and other printed panty hose, pendants, long necklaces, brooches, big rings, scarves, and many other additional pieces.

* Note, just don’t wear these all at once
