O.P.I Nail Varnish.

We want to assure you that OPI is committed to the safety of our consumers and of Beauty Professionals, and emphasize that we have always taken the necessary steps to ensure that our products exceed safety standards. In light of these most recent concerns, however, and even though our products have always been safe, we have taken the unprecedented step of reformulating our Nail Lacquers, Nail Treatments, and Nail Hardeners to remove some of the ingredients that have been the topic of recent discussion, while maintaining the high product quality standards we and you expect:
Since 2006, OPI has reformulated its entire line of Nail Lacquers, Nail Treatments, and Nail Hardeners to eliminate DBP (dibutyl phthalate) and Toluene.

Formaldehyde has never been an ingredient in OPI Nail Lacquers or Nail Treatments.

Some OPI Nail Hardeners do contain formaldehyde, while others are formulated without it to give consumers a choice. The levels of formaldehyde are more than four times lower than the safe levels established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In fact, according to a study conducted under the auspices of the California authorities, the levels of formaldehyde, even in nail salons, are no higher than those found in many common work places, such as offices, where no nail products whatsoever are present. OPI continues to search for effective alternates to formaldehyde.

Logona Facial.

All about Logona

Facial Care Matching your skin’s biological rhythm.

Experience the uniquely gratifying pleasure of naturally beautiful, healthy skin. LOGONA products protect and nurture your skin using gentle botanical forces. Active phytocosmetic ingredients and premium vegetable oils deliver your skin all it needs to gain and retain its natural radiance and healthy beauty.

Because beautiful skin is not simply a question of age

LOGONA facial care offers care and cleansing products formulated especially for the individual needs of your skin. All formulations incorporate the latest advances in dermatology, and take into consideration the changing environmental influences impacting your skin every day.

Logona follows the principle of skin self-correction

Human skin is alive and sensitive. It reacts to seasonal changes, to changes in life’s circumstances, and to environmental influences. These factors can cause normal, healthy skin to become oily, dry, or highly sensitive. The typical approach of skin care products to add oil and moisture to dry skin, or to withdraw them from oily skin, is simply not adequate. With this approach, the skin generally receives the wrong signal to correct the underlying problem. LOGONA products work differently.

The biological rhythm of the skin

Underlying the LOGONA facial care concept is solid scientific understanding of the natural workings of the skin. This know-ledge base enables the development of products which gently, but effectively, stimulate the skin’s own powers of correction and healing. Corresponding to the natural rhythms and requirements of your skin, the products are designed to deliver moisture and protection from external influences during the day, and to stimulate the skin’s regenerative functions during the night.

Types Of Hair Irons.

Types of hair irons

Curling iron

Curling irons, also known as curling tongs, create waves or curls in the hair. There are many different types of modern curling irons, which can vary by diameter, material, and shape of barrel and the type of handle. The barrel's diameter can be anywhere from .5 inches (1.3 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm). Smaller barrels typically create spiral curls or ringlets, and larger barrels are used to give shape and volume to a hairstyle.
Curling irons are typically made of Teflon, ceramic, tourmaline, metal, or titanium, each of which has its pros and cons. The barrel's shape can either be a cylinder, cone, or reverse cone, and the iron can have brush attachments or double and triple barrels.
The curling iron can also have either a spring-loaded, Marcel, or clipless handle. Spring-loaded handles are the most popular and use a spring to work the barrel's clamp. When using a Marcel handle, named after Marcel Grateau, one applies his or her own pressure to the clamp. Clipless wands have no clamp, and the user simply wraps hair around a rod. Most clipless curling irons come with a Kevlar glove to avoid burns.

Straightening irons

Straightening irons, straighteners, or flat irons, not to be confused with clothing irons, work by breaking down the hair's hydrogen bonds found in the hair's cortex, which cause hair to bend and become curly. Once the bonds are broken, hair is prevented from holding its original, natural form, though the hydrogen bonds can re-form if exposed to moisture. They can also use infrared technology.

Crimping irons

Copper...

Copper...
Who can wear it?  Seeing that copper red hair can range from a warm light strawberry blonde to a high lighted deep dark auburn . . . it has the leeway to suit most everyone.

Warm copper red hair is best complimented by those with pale skin tone and green or blue eyes! That combination in my point of view is the quintessential combination that best compliments warm copper red hair.

Cool copper red hair reflects coppery tones on top of deep auburn hair. This darker tone is worn best with cool skin undertones, pale with no colour in cheeks, and medium skin tones that tan easily.

All About Layers.

Whether you have long or short hair, layered hair styles can add a fun and trendy look to your locks. They provide texture, volume and contemporary appeal to any style.

Types of Layered Hair Styles

No matter what length your hair is, layers can help you create a look that flatters your face, adds volume to your locks and interest to your style. Many cuts can be modified with layers, but there are several cuts that work particularly well with them.

Layered Bob

The standard bob hairstyle has been around for decades with good reason. This traditional cut creates a medium length cut that works on many faces and hair types. If you like the length and overall cut of the bob, but desire something a little more interesting, have very thick hair or need to inject a little volume into the style, layers can help.
Add a few long layers to the front of the bob for a softer look. To create an edgier style, start with an inverted bob, then add layers up the back to get rid of some of the hair's weight. The result is an asymmetrical look that can be air or blown dry for various looks.
