B lush is the first green concept, super chic nail salon to hit Victoria. They use the best green products available for their customers and they believe that everyone deserves a manicure or pedicure without having to worry about damage from harsh chemicals that are used in most other nail salons.

Nail hygiene is extremely important and is mostly ignored. Getting your nails done does not have to be unsanitary, painful or damaging.

Blush is committed to using veganfrien­dly, non-toxic and organic products. They use the highest quality products to enhance your mind, body and beauty, and partner with the best in the industry — with companies that share their values. Blush’s scent-free salon provides a welcoming environmen­t for everyone.

Want longer nails without damage? Healthier nails? Do you sometimes feel guilty when you get a manicure? If you watch what you put into your body, why not start paying attention to what you put onto it? The idea of having to let your nails “breath” every once and a while from nail products is completely fiction. Blush helps you feel comfortabl­e wearing gel polish all year round. BioSeaweed Gel makes it possible.

What is gel polish and how is it different from regular nail polish?

Gel polish can be applied to either natural nails, artificial nails or even acrylic nails. Gel polish comes in a base, colour and top coat. However, gel polish has many advantages. It cures instantly — within 30 seconds to two minutes under a profession­al UV/LED lamp. There is no more dry time or smudges.

Gel polish is designed to be durable and suitable for a busy everyday life. Just like every beauty cosmetic, there are different gel polish brands with different benefits and drawbacks. It’s important to understand the products you apply to your body.

BioSeaweed Gel is the leading Canadian brand for healthier nails; they are a family business that has been open for more than 10 years. BioSeaweed Gel is free from the big-five damaging ingredient­s — formaldehy­de, toluene, DBP, BHA and solvents. This means there is zero dehydratio­n, staining or weakening of the natural nails. With a wide range of 600 gel polish colours, the possibilit­ies for great healthy nails are endless.

The entire staff at Blush are very detail oriented and are dedicated to making your experience a pleasant one. Start by making a healthier choice.
