Mother’s Day is right around the corner- (Sunday May 14th! For those of you who forgot!), and what’s a better way to spend a beautiful Vancouver spring day (Just pretend it’s sunny and not the usual weather! Haha!!) than in a beautiful salon getting your piggies painted with mum!

We at Prép are super excited to see all of you pretty faces come in to get pampered! So stay until the end to hear about our upcoming Mother’s Day promo!

Today we thought we would share a few of our favourite nail designs that will sure brighten your day and give you more ideas! Let’s go!

Let’s start off with our favourite set of spring! In this set we used the popular watercolour technique to transform a blank canvas into a dreamy and colourful set. Popped on some glitter and voila! This fantastic spring set! Built with Akzentz hard gel!

Now THIS set is perfect for pastel lovers! Fun & Cutesy set with simple gold decor and pastel, hand painted bows!

Ombré has been a huge and drastically increasing trend thats all over the hair world! So what about on nails? On this set we combined baby pink and blue to create this soft transitioning design. Subtle yet adds a POP of colour

Can’t decide on which nail trend to settle for on your next set? Why not all! Daisies, gems, and negative space all look stunning on this set! Simply a gel mani spiced up! So fun!

Delicate, elegant, perfect for all those outdoor tea parties and picnics! Blush pinky tones are perfect for people who want a subtle look to their nails yet crave a healthy nail colour topped off with… designs! Check out that hand painted lace!

More DAISIES! Marc Jacobs inspired! So fun and sophisticated at the same time!

NEW at Prép Beauty Parlour – Mood Colour Changing Nail Polish

By mika mcinnes | Nails, Prép Beauty Parlour

Here at Prép we are constantly brainstorming new ideas to spice things up! Colour changing mood nail polish has become quite a sought after trend in Vancouver, and we are so excited to share it with you!!

We have 3 new fun colours available at Prép! Take a look at these super cute mood changing nails! On top of gel extensions, we used a gorgeous mood polish that goes on baby pink and darkens to deep fuchsia! Love!

How It Works:
The polish is applied appearing as one colour. The average body temperature of humans is about 97-99 degrees (Farenheit). The nail polish will change colours when heated to about 91 degrees. Changes in elevation of body temperature will change the colour of the polish. Mood polishes are also known as thermochromic polishes, which means they change colour when exposed to heat. Thermochromic polishes are made using pigments called leuco dyes, which consist of tiny little spheres called microcapsules, which are about 1 to 10 microns across. Inside these little spheres are 3 important chemicals; Dye, a coloured chemical which can undergo a reversible reaction, combining with a H+ ion to become colourless, and Weak Acid, a colourless chemical, which can also undergo a reversible reaction, combining with the H+ ion. These 2 chemicals essentially fight for the H+ ion, as there is not enough for both to have their own. When the H+ ion is attached to the weak acid, the dye is coloured, and looks solid. When the H+ ion is attached to the dye, it appears colourless and see through.
The 3rd chemical component, solvent, is what ties it all together and basically dictates where the H+ ion will be attached, in relation to heat. Solvent has a melting point, when it changes from solid to liquid, like ice melting into water, around the temperature at which you want the colour to change. When the solvent is hot, the H+ ion tends to attach to the dye (colourless), whereas when it is cold it will stick to the weak acid.
