For all you women who love your nails, the new salon item of soap nails will certainly give spark to your interest. Soap nails are glossy, usually white or bright pink, perfect colors for the season and overall lovely on your hands. And as the name suggests, they involve the application of soap in their process, squeaky clean soap. This fact is popular amongst the people of Toronto, where their use is not only hygienic and beneficial to your health, but also works with your fashion attire and personal glamour. Let’s learn more about this interesting fashionable manicure.

The main aspect of a soap nail manicure is the polish, the shine that makes your nails stand out and catch the attention of others. When having a conversation and depending on how present your hands (like moving them while speaking), the glossy polish will certainly pop up at one point, where the people you speak with might be interested in getting a soap nail manicure themselves. And who knows, you might spark people’s interest at work, when they see your set of new nails, becoming the catalyst for a new nail trend. And that is impressive.

To obtain the look, make sure you soften your cuticles and remove any excess, allowing for a clear view of your nail beddings. Next comes the filing, smoothing, and shaping your nails. You have to make sure your nails are smooth enough for the polish, allowing for a sleek look to happen. If you are getting soap nails at a salon, they will know what kind of polish to use, but if you are applying the polish at home, make sure you select a high-end nail polish or manicure gel to get your nails ready for the soap. Submerge your hands into the bowl of bubbly soap, and embrace the warm, soothing feeling. What’s more, you can select the colour afterwards, maybe a nice pink tone, to match the summer season. And once it is all finished, your nails and fingers will feel like they just came out of a warm bath, squeaking all the way out of the salon. The soap they use is usually high-end, and not scented, unless you want a fragrance to follow you out of the salon, pleasing you with a nice smell. 

Soap nails are usually marketed as ‘giving your nails a bubble bath,’ which is appropriate enough as given the effect. The way soap nails are designed showcase the true artistic techniques of nail care. As a salon is dedicated to the beauty of your appearance, it makes sense to how they develop new methods to apply to your nails, giving them some glamour and attraction, proving beauty can be applied to any part of your body. Obviously, beauty is an art which can be applied to any cosmetic practice. 

Now that you know about soap nails, feel free to set up an appointment at your local salon, maybe going with a group of friends, who might be interested. Spread the word of soap nails and give your hands a makeover!
