That’s not all; we’re also releasing our Velvet Topcoat so you can transform any Halo Gel Polish colour into a fashion statement.

After months of lockdowns and isolation, we are looking back to past summers to give us inspiration for this month’s Create This Style. Nicole Dowling has put together a step-by-step, to create amazing summer throwback nails. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our new freedom than this vibrant manicure whilst waiting for the summer sun to arrive.

With the new collection of six Halo Gel Polishes and the NEW Velvet Topcoat, your clients’ nails will stand out from all the rest. The colours are beautiful and highly pigmented so there is really something for everyone.

Lights, camera, action

Eight tips for creating headline-grabbing images as told by Cos Sakkas.

Since the 1990s TONI&GUY international artistic director and head of education, Cos Sakkas, has been creating award-winning images. From his Newcomer of the Year collection in 1999 to his British Hairdresser of the Year nominee collection in 2020, Cos has been creating beautiful, creative and commercial images.

“Working on photo shoot is one of the favourite things to do – it gives you an opportunity to be creative, work with some incredible people and push yourself out of your comfort zone,” Cos added.

So, what has he learnt over the past 20 years? Here’s his tips for creating headline-grabbing images:

Don’t be a follower of fashion.

1 Make sure your models are individual and beautiful in their own rights. Don’t be a follower of fashion but work with their own personal beauty. 2 Make a physical mood board rather than collecting images on your phone. It will help with your creativity and be a reference point for everyone on the day. 3 Make sure hair, make-up and clothes all work together. Remember it is a hair shoot and you don’t want to detract from the hairstyle you have created, so keep everything else simple and understated. 4 Work with a team who have the same vision as you, but will also push you to try new things. 5 Shoot for you and no one else – don’t shoot for the awards, shoot for yourself. You want a collection that is true to you and shows your skills, passion and vision. If you put pressure on your shoulders to create a winning collection, you will lose your focus. 6 Shoot in colour and black and white – both will be beautiful but give a different dimension to your fi nished look. 7 Stay focused and don’t be distracted by whacky ideas. Find your niche and stick to what you’re good at and produce images that are beautiful, and trend led. 8 Take your time when cropping your images. Full length has a totally different feeling to close up, so choose wisely and don’t rush this process.

Radiant skin with Phytomer

THE CYFOLIA ORGANIC WAVE fl ows into the treatment room with the CYFOLIA ORGANIC Radiance Plumping Treatment.

Following the success of CYFOLIA ORGANIC, spa expert PHYTOMER introduces the CYFOLIA ORGANIC Radiance Plumping Treatment - a 60-minute Face and Eye Contour wellness ritual in which clients experience CYFOLIA’s unique combination of organic products.

As well as delivering incredible potential for skin radiance, CYFOLIA’s ECO credentials extend to its packaging with recyclable plant-based tubes and bottles and FSC® certifi ed paper and vegetable-based inks.

Fall in love with wellness

Featuring new organic formulas enriched with PHYTOMER’s expertise, whilst incorporating existing CYFOLIA formulas, CYFOLIA ORGANIC FACIAL ensures an unparalleled organic experience and results.

An organic protocol that enhances luxury and results

First, natural skin is revealed by removing makeup with Radiance Toning Cleansing Lotion, after which it is thoroughly cleansed with Radiance Cleansing Cream. Radiance Exfoliating Cream then gently exfoliates and envelopes the skin in a creamy, comfortable texture before 30 minutes are devoted to hand massaging the face and eye contours with Nourishing Massage Sap Oil. This stage relaxes, plumps and revitalises skin, as the mind is soothed by the gentle rhythm of this comforting ritual. The next integral step sees the application of Radiance Moisturizing Mask to detoxify and bathes the skin in hydration. Finally, Radiance Hydra-Comforting Cream restores the complexion to maximum radiance.

With clinical results concluding that women experience ‘more comfortable, plumped and luminous skin with the eye contour soothed and refreshed’ from the fi rst treatment, and with 100% appreciating the facial and wanting to receive it again, this new facial is the perfect way to introduce PHYTOMER to your clients.
