What are the most important qualities of a nail artist ?🤓💅

Every nail artist will give their own list of key characteristics to this question. And that will be true and correct! Because as many nail artists as there are, each has different opinions!

Working with nail artists for almost 14 years, we can suggest some (in our opinion) important qualities, skills and characteristics in work nail-artist:

- skills developed from quality training by specialists in each art technique
- ability to sculpt different nail shapes at a high level (the perfect canvas for the art)
- keeps up to date with trends in the industry
- constantly improving knowledge and skills, to develop in the profession
- a PASSION for art and the creative process!
- use ONLY quality materials that are safe for your own health and the health of your clients!

And that, of course, is IKON.IQ Hypoallergenic Products ))))😊🤓😊
Which are developed to help you to reach a new level of excellence, customer focus and success! 😎

We can say with absolute certainty that the Nail Technician is an artist and a nail architect, who creates that very Harmony in forms, shapes and textures every day in their work.🌈

"What defines a true artist? 🌈

There are many factors and characteristics, but we think that these are the most obvious and important :

⭐️1. First and foremost is the ability to see and notice Beauty in everything!
⭐️2. Creating Beauty even from a minimal resource or even from nothing (literally from scratch)
⭐️3. To find the creative application and embodiment of anything, object, event!
⭐️4. To feel and create Harmony in any object, shape, shade, colour
⭐️5. To combine seamlessly seemingly incongruous colours, things, forms!

" How do we choose the colour of our manicure/pedicure? 🤓

- some think about the design and colour in advance
- some choose a reference photo and create a mood board
- some decide just in the moment, on impulse and at will
- Some stay true to one colour or shade for years😎😈

We are all different, different tastes and different preferences!

Regardless of the colour we choose, what we all definitely want is a professional manicure using high quality and reliable materials on our nails. Products that will create beautiful nail without harming our health!

Why do we love the Red Colour? 🤓

This is where the wonder of colour psychology comes to our rescue. And tells us that we love (or do NOT love) the colour red according to several factors!🤩

Red (in any shade) is:
❤️ the colour of leadership, perseverance, perseverance, dynamism
❤️ the colour that affects us in an energizing way
❤️ it is a colour that gives us energy, vitality, a desire to fight, act and achieve

A small "dose" of red in an image (such as a manicure or pedicure) can work like an "energizer", activate desires, and inspire action!

And in the IKON.IQ PRIMA and NOVA collection you will find a chic palette of red shades for every taste and desire!
We invite you to visit our website www.ikoniqnails.com to choose your ideal red shades❤️

Can I have a "summer" manicure in the Fall?

There are usually no right answers to these questions. Why? Because everyone chooses their own personal "Can or Can't". And in our 21 century - a time of absolute freedom, self-expression, manifestation in the world and society, the concept of seasonality, "right" color matching simply does not exist.
At most, there can still be a constraining element - the professional requirements of the workplace !
The IKON.IQ PRIMA palette was developed to satisfy absolutely any taste, request or fantasy. The PRIMA palette and shades make it possible to use colors in any season, for any event, and even for subdued workplace requirements (IKON.IQ N**Es are accepted even by the standards of airlines and large hotels).
It is possible to choose any shade color, or to mix colours to create any combination - PRIMA Alchemy has demonstrated this very clearly.
The magic of IKON.IQ PRIMA is that gel nail polishes give true Freedom of Creation and Perfection of Professionalism to every nail technician anywhere in the world!

How to create a Work of Art on your nails?🌈

Some would say that Works of Art only hang in museums or private collections. Everything else is just an attempt to imitate art. But fundamentally, this view is wrong. Everyone is a creator. And in every field of activity, in every industry, even in the production of simple items, there is an element of creativity. 🤩
Because by creating/manufacturing something, YOU are already WORKING. And a work of Art is also a result of something of the process of creation!
To create masterpieces and works of art in the nail salon, each Nail Technician needs:💅
- a desire to give beauty
- courage to bring their brightest ideas to life
- openness to everything new and progressive
- a burning desire to grow in the profession
- and very high-quality and hypoallergenic materials for the realization of ideas and for the creation of Healthy Beauty

And to create Healthy Beauty, each Nail Technician can use IKON.IQ products!🏆
Since the early days of the company in Sweden, the main goals of IKON.IQ has been to help Nail Technicians grow as professionals, prosper, acquire loyal customers and to avoid allergies for themselves and their salon clients.☀️

IKON.IQ’s Healthy Beauty is now available to professionals everywhere! And everyone is worthy of Healthy Beauty!❤️

The n**e colors to make the Autumn beautiful!

For some reason, it is often thought that n**e colors in manicure are colors for the office, for the professional appearance, or to create the effect of a naked natural manicure in summer or in spring.
But n**e is not the same as n**e, as they say. And in IKON.IQ we are absolutely sure that for every season and season there are beautiful shades of n**e colors in the Gel Polish palette. Even in the season when you want bright, fiery, autumn colors, there are incredibly cozy, stylish and noble n**e PRIMA Shades.
They can be combined with any bright designs, complemented by Effect Tops or worn on their own, underlining the beauty and sophistication of N**e Matt Top or Shine Like a Diamond Top!
The result will delight you!

Be Vibrant - Be on the Top
5 Reasons to adore the versatility of Top coats

Is it possible not to adore them?
Here are the reasons that we love the creative versatility of Tops:

1. If, after applying a coloured or even neutral gel polish, you suddenly realise that you want some sort of effect, but NOT a design this time.
2. If you want something more minimalistic, but
3. perhaps also dramatic.
4. If you're in the mood for something low-key but elegant.
5. When you want a glossy or matt effect in addition to the colour effect of a top.

These some of the creative tasks that can be easily and elegantly solved by the NOVA Effect Tops. In this new range, you will find the desired effect for every taste!

When you finish your work with these fantastic tops and see the amazng result, you will automatically join our “NOVA effect tops fan club!”

Rubber Base gels… How could they be used?
1. this material can be used as a stand-alone and main material to create the perfect easy manicure without the use of an additional colour gel polish. That’s because many of today's rubber bases are available in shades other than clear. These bases are called camouflage rubber bases. The palette of shades is very rich which makes it possible to realize and colour fantasy, especially for those who love colour but want a quicker and easier manicure. The range of hypoallergenic rubber bases at IKON.IQ NOVA continues to expand, and our customers can find the right shades for themselves and expand their collection of high-quality, hypoallergenic materials.
2. rubber base can also work perfectly with gel polish to create a complete multi- step manicure and act as a smoothing, strengthening and protecting layer. Underneath the gel polish, it creates the perfect base for a perfect bond with the gel polish.
The gel polish can be used as a primer for a one-colour topcoat and for designs of all degrees of complexity. It makes every finished nail perfectly smooth, stronger and resistant to stress.
That's why the Rubber base is definitely worth buying for anyone who wants a perfectly smooth and durable manicure.
The benefits of the Rubber Base are clear and have been tested by thousands of nail technicians worldwide: the base is perfectly smooth and does not run into the side of the nails, smooths itself when applied, levels the nail plate and ensures long lasting gel nail polish.
Learn how to use Rubber Bases IKON.IQ NOVA on our IKON.IQ TV video channel on the webshop. The entire range is available at www.ikoniqnails.com
Make the most of the modern nail technology to create your own masterpiece!

Natural or artificial nails. Which is better and healthier? The eternal question.
Beautiful, healthy nails - the natural wealth of every person. For women, it's also an important element of external expression of beauty, brightness, self-expression and to a certain extent, sexuality.
But to this day, opinions about what nails are more beautiful, healthier and simply better, are divided. New trends for the nails are enthusiastically accepted, and then as the fashion ends, they are rejected. Meanwhile, manufacturers of nail service products try to keep up with the trends in the world of nail aesthetics.
There are a lot of myths and horror stories about artificial nails being dangerous or unhealthy. But that's what myths are, it is only opinion that is intended to create a wave of attention, without the facts and objective data to back it up.
Working in the nail industry for more than 16 years, we, as a manufacturing company, have become convinced that only a few important factors are necessary for healthy, beautiful nails:
- high-quality, hypoallergenic materials
- professional knowledge of the correct processes to work with the materials
- the professionals’ true enthusiasm to create healthy beauty and not just to chase the profit
- constant knowledge and skill development of the nail professional - and a great love by the nail professional for their business!
If these components are combined correctly, if professionals use high-quality hypoallergenic materials for building, strengthening or decorating nails and creating designs, then it does not matter what trends are set by fashion or society. True nail professionals always put creating Healthy Beauty as the main priority for their clients and this is ALWAYS a trend!

Beauty requires sacrifice, or does it? ⭐️

We are all familiar with these concepts:
☘️"Healthy Eating."
☘️"Healthy Lifestyle".
☘️"Healthy Relationships".
☘️"Healthy Mindset".

But the concept of "Healthy Beauty" is very young and only recently people have begun to think about the importance of this element of human life. It is the history of the Beauty Industry that knows first-hand what Sacrifices for Beauty are. And beauty as understood by a certain social group, people, time period, etc.
The human brain has already been genetically and historically trained: In order to be beautiful, you must sacrifice this, that and that. So we accept that we will tolerate and endure, but everyone will see our beauty.

But there is one important quality in man: We are free to choose. We can make the choice to sacrifice our health, peace of mind, not to endure pain for the sake of beautiful designs, new elements of appearance. We can choose body health and beauty.
And now, thanks to technology, great minds and new possibilities of the World, beauty can also be Healthy!

In 2009 at IKON.IQ, this very idea of Healthy Beauty became one of the foundations for the creation of hypoallergenic products for the Nail Industry.
To create stronger beautiful nails without sacrificing the health of nails and the skin of hands and feet. To create aesthetics of nail service and to allow women and men to enjoy beautiful manicures and pedicures without compromising their health and future.

Beauty and health, save the World❤️
