The Pisces season is the time when humanity becomes one new race, one love, and one consciousness. It is also a time when there is no discernment, no discrimination (that is for Pisces antithesis, Vigo), patterns, texture, color, creed, and all races. Has Rihanna’s Pisces style ever caught your attention? Neon, florals, solids, stripes, and Polka dots, all of them are accepted in Pisces. All the possibilities are also accepted in Pisces because they are essential to our imaginations and dreams where the universe’s boundless limits are discovered, and people are brave enough to become artists.

Furthermore, the season is all about learning that forgiveness is an essential aspect of life. It is also about becoming empathetic to the world’s pain, letting our imaginations and pain to shine, and even getting lost in the process of life. Pisces season is a time when you want to commune with your soul and move out of your comfort zone by feeling your way into a color. So when the Pisces month comes, and you are out shopping in your nearest nail store or ordering your favorite color from nail supplies online, you should ask yourself if it serves your dreams for the season. Besides, all colors, including acrylics, gels, and dipping powder colors, are never discriminated against; they serve one purpose.

Not every woman is good at doing her nails at home. One must agree that being ambidextrous is a talent. We are either left-handed or right-handed. Under such circumstances, it is tough to do a nail manicure with your less-dominant hand. Therefore, a DIY job generally does not come out perfectly.

Is there an alternative? Yes, a visit to a salon to get your nail manicure is a fantastic option. Let us see the benefits of visiting a salon over a DIY nail manicure.

Salon Vs. DIY

Here are some benefits of a salon job.

• Let the expert do her job

The people working at a nail salon are professionals with tremendous experience in performing nail manicures. Now, they say, “Practice makes you perfect.” It is right in the case of nail salon technicians. They are at the job, day in and day out. They know the tricks better than us.

• In tune with the latest trends

Trends keep changing by the minute. In this social media age, it does not take long for a fashion trend to travel from one place to another. Salon technicians keep abreast of the latest technologies and trends. Hence, you can always expect the latest fashion trends when you go for a salon nail manicure.

• Range of top-quality products

An average woman does not know every detail of the best nail manicure products available on the market. They gather their knowledge from hearsay or fashion magazines.

Salon technicians, on the other hand, are professionals working on the field. They have access to the latest product releases like Kiara Sky dipping powder. Continue reading →
