Nailed it!

“Your nails are a way to speak your style without having to say a word.”

                                                                 --Tammy Taylor

A trip to the nail salon is a bi-weekly, sometimes weekly ritual for women.  We have to make sure our nails are on point like our outfit.  It doesn’t matter if you get a manicure or acrylic fill, as long as your nails are looking good, you feel good!

Dating back to 5000 B.C. when nail art represented social status, Egyptian women decorated their nails with the juice of a henna plant.  Now days, our nails represent who we are and make a fashion statement.  Jai Panikhin, owner of Elysium in Owings Mills, MD and nail technician to Posh Me’Ke very own Morgen E. says, “My nails express who I am because they are always fierce and have an attitude of their own like myself.  My nails are always colored and done according to what’s in fashion but with a twist to make it my own.”

Nails and nail art have evolved over time.  There is more to it than just your basic manicure and solid color polish.  You have so many options to choose from on how to shape your nails, whether they are ballerina, almond, and coffin shaped, stiletto or duck.  Techniques, tools and polishes are used to give nails that “panache” as Morgen E. would say.  I myself, prefer the gel mood polish in vibrant fun colors for the summer and dark matte colors for the winter.

The next time you are at the nail shop, ask for something out of the ordinary for your nails and let your nails speak for themselves.  Remember this, it’s all fun and games until someone breaks a nail!
