SPA CEYLON

Introduce Their Fashion Forward And Earth Friendly New Nail Range

- By Minoli Ratnayake

Spa Ceylon are known for their incredible products that combine Ayurveda wisdom, fine natural ingredient­s & contempora­ry design to bring you the ultimate in Ayurveda luxury - for health, well-being & relaxation and the new range of earth friendly, toxin free nail colours they recently launched are instant fashion in a bottle, that won’t break the bank! Thankfully the new Spa Ceylon Nail range can help us stop being so predictabl­e with our nails as they have a mix of the most incredible colours that range from the fashion forward blues, chic corals, eye catching without being over top reds to the elegantly pretty nudes and my personal favourite No. 19 a seriously siren shade of oxblood.

Their nail care range also includes must have ( especially on a long flight) nail and cuticle nourishing balm and intensive hand cream both of which come in a range of Ayurvedic properties to soften & smoothen skin for total hand care.

Historical­ly women have always had a preoccupat­ion with decorating their nails, as far back as 3000 B.C. there were henna manicures, kohl manicures, and manicures that signified class status. It’s no surprise that nails have been a significan­t part of the beauty world and industry for centuries. There is evidence that manicures took place in southern Babylonia, and manicure instrument­s have been found Egypt’s royal tombs. Body decoration, including henna as a stain for fingernail­s and toenails, has been practiced across the world for centuries.

In 3000 B.C., the Chinese used nail colour as a distinctio­n of rank and dynasty. The upper classes would use ingredient­s like beeswax, Arabic gum, and egg whites for nail colour, and those of the ruling regime often wore highly pigmented colours like red. But nail colour was not allowed for everyone. During certain dynasties, the lower classes could wear pale colours, but wearing the colour of royals was punishable by death.

Nail varnish or polish as we know it today is a 20th-century phenomenon. In 1917, Cutex introduced the first tinted liquid nail polish, made from natural resins coloured with dyes. Strongly coloured nail varnish was popularise­d in the Fifties by screen heroines, and, by the Sixties, palenails were all the rage.

Chanel’s nail sensation, Rouge Noir, was first seen on the catwalk in 1994, and is still today its bestsellin­g product ever. Its cult status rocketed when it was seen on Uma

Thurman’s nails in Pulp Fiction and is a shade she continues to wear. For SS2020 one the biggest nail trends is going green! Green was one of the biggest nail trends of 2019, and the color is still going strong into the new decade, all tones of green from neon to mint to forest will make your nails current and chic. Spa ceylon has some glorious shades of green to help you embrace the trend.
