Cuccio Africa Valentines day

The history of

Valentines day

Valentine’s Day, also known and referred to as Saint Valentine’s day is a day of love that we celebrate on 14 February. In history, people exchanged cards with loved ones, friends and family. In modern times, we also give gifts and flowers decorated and wrapped with heart shaped boxes and wrappping.

People have celebrated Valentine’s Day with thoughts of love since at least the 1300s. According to an old European legend, February 14 is the day when birds pair off each year to start their new families. The Roman Catholic Church honours two saints on the 14th of February, named Valentine. Both Saint Valentines were ancient Romans of the ad 200s who died for their Christian faith.

What is the best

Cuticle Oil (And Do You Really Need One?)

Ladies spend hundreds of rands maintaining that perfect set of freshly done nails, but having dry cuticles can quickly overshadow the beauty of your freshly painted nails. Having cracked cuticles, has a negative impact on nail growth and overall health, yes Cuticles keeps bacteria out of your nail bed. So, whether you pay attention to your cuticles, and trim them or not, applying treatment to them at least once a week is recommended by professionals.

Applying only one drop to the cuticle and gently massaging it into the cuticle, will leave your cuticles looking healthier and your nails feeling stronger. Apply after soaking your hands in warm water and trimming away excess skin.

One user has commented: “This cuticle oil is of better quality than any I’ve used before,” not greasy at all, is nicely scented and absorbs relatively quickly while still moisturizing the cuticle. Looking forward to purchasing the body oil as well.” Now that is advised, Milk & Honey Cuticle Revitalizing Oil is most effective when used with the rest of the Milk & Honey line.

Another user went on commenting: “Who knew the secret to beautiful hands is cuticle oil? I use it every night as part of my routine, and my cuticles and nails both look smoother and less mangled for it.”

Given the rate at which we’re washing and sanitizing our hands, we can use all of the moisture we can get these days. Hand cream is a given, but according to the pros, there’s one thing that’s missing from our daily routines: cuticle oil.

As Deborah Lippmann, a celebrity manicurist (she’s polished everyone from Meryl to Gaga) explains, “Your cuticles protect both the skin barrier and the nails themselves, so it’s important to keep them well-hydrated. Furthermore, healthy cuticles are key to healthy nail growth.”

So, if your nails are feeling brittle and dry or you’re noticing that you’re getting more hangnails than usual, a daily drop of cuticle oil can give you a helping hand.

Cuccio’s cuticle oil it the special treatment that will give you a chance to have dream nails! You can buy it on Cuccio Africa’s online store!

One reviewer put it best: “I put it on my desk at work with my hand lotion because I work in an office and all the hand washing, typing, paperwork, etc was killer on my hands – lotion alone wasn’t cutting it for me, the oil is a nice fast way to get the extra care my hands need without derailing my day for 20-25 minutes while the oil absorbs.”

Try Cuccio Revitalising Milk and Honey cuticle oil and experience healthier and longer nails! A big bottle, goes a long way!

So?

What does cuticle oil do?

At its most basic level, cuticle oil moisturizes your cuticles, the clear skin around your nail bed that can take a beating in cold weather. You know how your cuticles can feel rough, look jagged, and even sport the occasional hangnail? Cuticle oil will be your new best friend.

But despite its seemingly straightforward name, cuticle oil is a multi-benefit product that contributes to the overall health of your nail. “Cuticle oil is not designed just for the cuticle,” explains Silva Nahabedian, director of education at Dazzle Dry. “It’s also designed to moisturize the nail and keep it flexible and prevent it from becoming brittle, which can lead to breakage.”

Another bonus? When your nails are kept well moisturized and supple, your manicures will last longer, Nahabedian adds. You can even use it on a fresh manicure, notes celebrity nail tech Elle Gersein, once the polish is properly set. “It can help dry or even protect against dents during the drying process,” she explains.

SO WHAT DOES THE AMAZON REVIEWS ON CUCCIO MILK AND HONEY CUTICLE OIL SAY SAY?

Most customers love the uniquely sleek circular-shaped glass bottle, which is accompanied by a dropper to drop the oil directly on the nail. Some prefer to put the oil into a travel friendly brush applicator, which you can also buy from Cuccio Africa online.

So whether you’re preparing for the cold winter air before it wreaks havoc on your cuticles or you’re trying to repair years of nail damage, this highly reviewed oil is the perfect solution.

Sometimes drinking milk is not enough, it is also beneficial to use topically for healthy skin. Milk contains an enzyme called lactic acid. The blend of vitamin A & D and lactic acid in milk is great for softening the skin’s texture & evening the skin’s tone. While working simultaneously in the same formula, honey adds a variety of flavonoids and phenolic acids that act as antioxidants to help combat free radicals.

Incorporating Milk & Honey into a service not only nurtures the skin but also aromatically plays a beneficial role in your clients’ experience. The allurement of the scent evokes a comforting relaxing state of mind, encompassing a true mind, body and soul spa experience.

Cuccio recommends using this cuticle as part of your manicure services, as it adds a necessary soft touch to the manicure. Cuccio Naturale™ continues our company’s 30 year tradition of only offering clients the highest quality and most innovative spa products and services, guaranteed.

Another one of the many 5 star reviews called it a “miracle oil,” adding, “I am so happy I took a chance and tried this oil. It has a pleasant subtle smell, is not greasy or oily once applied, and has seriously changed my life. It absorbs quickly into my cuticles and I have not had any more raggedy dry edges.”

SImilar success stories about their 24 hour hydrated nails, and that dry patches of skin due to harsh sanitiser, were now baby soft again. Chemotherapy patients has also responded in awe of this product, as it soothed symptoms that has resulted due to their cancer treatment.

“Honestly, I can’t rave enough how great it is at revamping and maintaining a manicure — even the shine on the nails themselves. And my cuticles can be really annoying but this keeps them moisturized and at bay until my next manicure,” a reviewer wrote.

During winter months, we see an increase with people who suffer from dry and cracked cuticles. Instead of spending too much on expert-approved and expensive products, give Cuccio Milk and Honey Cuticle Oil a try. It will save you a lot of money!

“It’s a life changer!”Dasha Minina who practices as a nail technician told Instyle. Read the article here. She also shared the fact that it is available in both fragrance and fragrance free options.

CUCCIO T3 UV/LED GEL

CUCCIO

T3UV/LED HARD GELS

Cuccio has 2 different LED compatible hard gels. T3 UV/LED Controlled Levelling Gel and T3 UV/LED Self Levelling Gel. The biggest difference between the 2 is the consistency of the product and it really is down to technician’s preference with what consistency of product they wish to work with.

Cuccio T3 UV/LED Controlled Levelling Gel

T3 LED/UV Controlled Levelling Gel was launched in 2015 and took the industry by storm, proving today to still be one of our best-selling Hard Gel products.

Cuccio Professional T3 LED/UV Controlled Levelling Gel is a fantastic new innovative product for techs looking to either add another system to their treatment plan. This product gives techs both features and benefits from traditional gel and acrylic. It is also a great competition product due to its speed of application and crystal clear clarity – A great standalone product or one that’s also great for problem nails

This gel has been developed incorporating the latest technology and is both LED and UV compatible. The molecules are larger giving you a gel that needs less work time. Although the gel has a self-level ability, once it hits its limit, it stops moving and will stay put giving techs with less confidence or techs that like to work at a slower pace the time to create their nails, without the worry that the gel is going to spill into the surrounding soft tissue.

It has a much thicker viscosity than its rivals in the gel market and is ideal for any tech that has been thinking that they would love to make the change over to gel but are put off by the workings of traditional gel.

In recent years there has been an increase in clients entering the salon with problem nails for whatever reason, ranging from damage being created by other techs, or because people are feeling more confident as nails have become such a phenomenon in the UK and are happier to come to the salon with their problem nails. There are lots of problems that can occur once clients have been wearing extensions from lifting problems; brittleness of overlays – enhanced by the clients’ daily routines and work, and of course, our heavy-handed client that struggles to keep her nails on. This gel has been created with all of these clients in mind – Please note when working with any type of problem nail – whatever the problem may be, that extreme care must be taken with the natural nail. There has also been an increase in allergies over the last few years and so although extremely thorough allergy testing and client consultation must be carried out prior to application, always remember if you are ever in doubt over your client’s nail condition, do not treat and refer them to a GP.

This gel maintains its flexibility for as long as it is on the client’s nails, giving even the heavy-handed of your clients the ability to have extended wear time with their enhancements and coatings

There have been many techs over recent years looking to make the swap over from other systems to gel but have been put off by traditional gels for whatever reason – this gel truly does give any tech the option to be able to work with a gel that has many of the features of a traditional gel, such as no smell; no lifting; no brittleness and the benefits of acrylic such as, stronger product; a product that stays where you put it and doesn’t move and is great for sculpting with – Mix all of these benefits together and you have Cuccio T3 LED/UV Self Levelling Gel

This gel, due to its clarity and speed of application is a perfect gel for those techs looking to work in the competition field – also great for session techs, again because of its speed and thin application, giving the product a super strong and natural look to your feature work.

Great benefits for the Technician:

Very thick viscosity giving more control with application- no slumping in sidewall or cuticle area
Full hand application before curing- cutting down application time
Create very crisp finish to smile lines- great for technicians entering competitions
Great for session techs due to speed of application
UV and LED compatible
LED curing cuts treatment time- increasing income
Very strong and flexible with extra strong adhesion for long-lasting nails
Can be used for natural nail overlay, tip overlay, and sculpting
Available in traditional pink, clear, white, and opaque petal pink to create a different finish, extend nail beds, and mask imperfections.
Non-yellowing, high shine finish
100% odour free
Compatible with gel polish and soft gels for clients wanting a colour finish.

Great benefits for the Client:

Very strong and flexible with extra strong adhesion for long-lasting nails
Crisp high shine finish giving very natural looking nails
Available in traditional pink, clear, white, and opaque petal pink to create a different finish, extend nail beds, and mask imperfections.
Shorter treatment time due to full hand application and LED curing
Is compatible with gel polish
Cooler cure- less of a heat sensation than other hard gels on the market.

The product is of much thicker viscosity to traditional hard gels on the market giving the technician much more control over the application of the product. Gel technicians will find this gives them a quicker application time and perfectly sculpted nails. Acrylic technicians will find that this product is easier to convert to due to its thicker viscosity and control with the product.

There are 6 different gels within the Cuccio T3 LED/UV Self Levelling Gel range:

Transparent Pink- designed to create a natural finish to the nails and is slightly thinner in viscosity.
Opaque petal pink- designed to extend nail beds and mask any imperfections to the nail plate. This gel is thicker in viscosity due to the pigmentation. A pale pastel pink.
Opaque Welsh Rose – designed to extend nail beds and mask any imperfections to the nail plate. This gel is thicker in viscosity due to the pigmentation. A pale warm pink
Opaque Brazilian Blush – designed to extend nail beds and mask any imperfections to the nail plate. This gel is thicker in viscosity due to the pigmentation. A pink/peach
White- designed to create bright crisp smile lines. This is thicker in viscosity due to the level of pigment. This gel does need to be cured on the top and underneath to ensure full cure
Clear smoothing Gel- designed to create a smooth finish to the nails and fill in any gaps between pink and white application to create a smooth c-curve

Troubleshooting for T3 LED/UV Controlled Levelling Gel

I’m not sure how long to cure the Gel for:

Each application of Gel needs 60 seconds cure with LED or 2 minutes UV. Do not be tempted to take the nails out and see that the top layer is hard and so it must be enough?! You will not be able to tell if the underneath layers are cured. Do not under cure the gel this will lead to overexposure.

The Gel is still sticky when I take it out of the lamp:

The gel will never fully cure due to oxygen inhibiting the curing process and so you will be left with an induction layer. This can safely be removed with Finishing Wipe.

The lamp is giving my client sharp pains:

Sometimes a heat reaction can be felt when curing under the lamp. This can happen if the nail plate has been thinned too much?
Or, you have applied the Gel too thickly?
You are not using the lamp that was designed to go with the product that you are using?
Ask the client to gently press their fingers onto the tray of the lamp to reduce the heat reaction.

When I wipe off the sticky layer the Gel is dull:

You are not using the Lamp that is designed to go with the Gel.
You are not curing for adequate times.
You are using 1 wipe with Finishing Wipe for the whole hand which will transfer uncured Gel and makes the nails appear dull. Remember one wipe per nail and really clean off the induction layer.
Your bulbs could need changing- this is advised with UV lamps after 4-6months of use.

After a couple of days there is lifting:

Sufficient nail preparation wasn’t carried out.
Ensure that when you apply the Gel it is not touching any soft tissue.
You did not use Cuccio Veneer #1 Prep.
You did not use Cuccio Veneer #2 Fuse.
You did not manipulate the Gel into the nail plate.
You are not using the lamp that is designed to go with this Gel.
You are not curing the gel sufficiently.

The Gel has gone hard in the pot:

Always ensure that you leave the lids on when you are working with Gel especially when near the lamp.
You are sitting too close to a window with no protection from the sun and the UV has cured the product.

My Gel is full of tiny lumps:

Make sure you work in a dust-free environment and keep lids on whilst you are not working with the gel.

When I am buffing the gel it is coming away in circular patches:

You have not fully cured the gel Cure 60 seconds LED or 2 minutes UV.
If curing LED you must be using the Cuccio Max Pro 5 LED lamp or Max Pro 2 LED lamp.
The gel is too thick during the application, leading to an inadequate cure.
