Fingernails – a person’s calling card



The number of women and men attaching importance to well-cared hands and nails is growing steadily. Beautiful hands and nails are a person’s calling card, attention-getting, attractive, appealing. The desire that fingernails look presentable at all times therefore becomes all too understandable.

Everyday life brings about stresses – also to our nails.



Although beautiful hands and nails are entirely en vogue, when it comes to good-looking nails, however, daily reality looks quite different. Our practical activities both at home and in the workplace take their toll and frequently cause considerable nail damage. Harsh weathers, working with chemicals and heavy duty work requirements are absolute poison for nails. But who really knows how to succeed in solving these problems of unsightly the wear and tear of everyday life occurring all too fast on your hands and nails?  Those of us who set great value upon well-groomed and healthy nails preferably put themselves in the hands of experienced beauticians, cosmeticians and nail designers who exactly know what needs to be done to make our stressed hands and nails look tip-top.

Different treatments for different nails.



Most people are not professionally engaged in nail care and hardly consider the fact that everyone possesses individually different nails and thus requires unique nail care.  Both the shape and the quality of your nails play a decisive factor for the visual appearance of your hands. Even though male nails tend to be stronger than female’s, they frequently tend to have certain deficiencies, e.g. unsightly ridges or grooves and irregularities of nail edges which impair the overall impression.  Additionally, brittle, torn and ripped nails can occur as a result of normal activities. A professional manicure or an almost invisible, totally natural-looking nail strengthening polish will produce lasting relief.

Nail Art and French Manicure



Nail Art is entirely en vogue. A wide spectrum of trendy nail art products is available at Catherine’s Nail Studios. Nail art is a collective term and comprises French manicure as well. Having beautifully French manicured nails means that the well-trained nail designers paint an opaque crescent-shaped lunula portion onto the proximal end of the nails.

Women at a beauty salon or a nail studio



Women attaching great value to beautiful, well-groomed hands and nails generally place higher demands on nail cosmetics than men. Comparable to an appointment at the hairstylist, women visiting a beauty salon or a nail studio such as Catherine Expert and Elite Studio anticipate an inspiring wellness and spa environment. Women expect a professional service designed to satisfy their specific needs, i.e. personalized beauty tips, a calm, hassle-free atmosphere, appealing and good-looking hands and nails. The feel-good factor plays a large role to women visiting a cosmetic studio or a Catherine Expert and Elite Studio.

Juggling a family and a career at the same time is not easy and often a balancing act. This is the reason why women nowadays can no longer afford to stay at a beauty salon or a nail studio for an indefinite period of time. Nevertheless women will be devoting much more time to their strong need to be pampered by a cosmetic treatment than men. The desire for taking out time from the daily hustle and bustle and enter into a world of deep relaxation is a very distinctive characteristic with women. Above all, a visit to a beauty salon or a nail studio will underline a certain personality and express style and character.

When it comes to nail cosmetics, anyone running a beauty salon or nail studio would be well-advised to quickly adapt to the individual needs of female clients from various age groups with different demands and expectations and respond to the steadily growing men's grooming market.

Quality – The be-all and end-all for beauty salons and nail studios



What is absolutely imperative to become a recommended, successful and renowned beauty salon or nail studio? Three decisive criteria have top priority and are absolutely vital to Catherine Nail Collection as well: professional quality, client care, hygiene.

Meanwhile countless nail studios have been set up both in big cities and small towns and keep mushrooming. Given the sheer number of nail studios it is increasingly important to stand out by offering high quality cosmetic products and nail-care expertise. Clients would like to rely on the depth of the cosmetician’s knowledge and the nail designer’s experience to deliver top notch services.

Only successful beauty salons or nail studios - for instance Catherine Expert and Elite Studios - are in a position to ensure that clients receive both the very best consultation and the very best treatment.  The cosmetician’s and the nail designer’s high level of training are decisive factors determining the quality of the nail studio. The preparedness for further training and the willingness to constantly remain up-to-date are just as important.

Catherine Nail Collection has developed a hands-on training concept for nail designers. Regular trainings are essential to Catherine Nail Collection as the nail-cosmetic market is a fast-moving business. Catherine Nail Collection and other companies in this market launch new products on a regular basis at relatively short intervals. New methods of application need to be trained thoroughly until nail designers completely master the latest products and designs ensuring that they can professionally apply them.

Bye-Bye Nail Lacquer – Hello Nail Polish!



Nail art encompasses the coloured design of nails by applying a coloured polish with permanent adhesion to the natural nail. In the course of nail treatment a UV table lamp is used for hardening the coloured polish. This light-hardening method saves time, leads to an improved durability of the nails and should only be applied by experienced, professional nail designers. Catherine Nail Collection offers nail polishes with a wide selection of colours and styles.

Unlike traditional, air-dry nail lacquer, the light-hardening nail polish remains in liquid state until the exposure to the UV table lamp. This delayed hardening time enables the nail designer to realize stylish, demanding and elaborate designs without any difficulty. In case the nail designer does not succeed in applying the requested design at the first go, the nail polish whilst still in a liquid state can be easily removed. Individual work-steps can be “saved” by hardening Catherine Nail Collection Nail Polish. Since the light-hardening process only takes 2 minutes, even complex nail-art designs can be applied in a very short time compared to traditional coloured varnish. After the successful hardening, Catherine’s Nail Polish can be – if requested – effortlessly removed by a nail file or a milling cutter.

Nail Art for all Occasions



Nail art also encompasses the decoration of fingernails by applying trendy designs. When it comes to occasions and imagination, the sky is the limit. No matter if would like to apply an individual nail design to match your outfit or a nail design in sync with a special occasion, e.g. wedding, anniversary, birthday, Christmas, Easter,  New Year’s Eve, Carnival, holiday,  the nail designers will conjure up genuine works of art on the nails of their clients. Nail art can be continuously redesigned by a wide range of matching accessories which are available at Catherine Nail Collection as well: shimmering, glittering, brilliant colours – with pearls, broken bits of seashells, Rhinestones, gold and silver leaves. All designs have been devised to stage you and your eye-catching nail art. Simply apply Catherine Nail Art Accessories to the wet nail polish, finish with gloss gel and you are done! Creative nail art can be optimally matched to any outfit and any occasion.

Greatest Masterpieces on Nails by means of 3d Gels



The supreme discipline of creative nail design is the making of stunning 3d nail design by applying 3d gels. As the term already suggests, motifs and designs stand out from the nail and are shifted to three-dimensional. Blossoms and leaves can be modelled on nails as well as all other conceivable motifs, designs and patterns. Stable 3d gels that can be handled flexibly and an optimal hardening process are the basic prerequisite for stunning, creative nail-art design. In order to successfully apply nail art and design elaborately decorated nails, the professional nail designers require experience, expertise, outstanding 3d gels that can be artfully modelled - as offered by Catherine Nail Collection - and appropriate tools.  

Catherine’s Nail Collection 3d gels are high-viscous and thus guarantee high stability.  Catherine’s Nail Collection 3d gels offer limitless diversity for the individual creation of 3d nail-art designs. The 3d gels are extremely stable, however, can be handled flexibly and the complete hardening process takes approximately two minutes. Catherine’s Nail Collection 3d gels are available in the colours red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta, as well as black and white. The colours may also be mixed with one another in order to create countless fanciful nail-art designs.
