May 2009

New York, NY - May, 2009 In the current economic climate, it's hard to justify the luxuries that used to be at your fingertips- like manicures and pedicures at the nail salon. Luckily, Barielle, the leading nail, hand and foot care collection, offers the must-have products to turn you into a pro and keep your hands, feet and nails perfectly polished for summer.

If you are working on any do-it-yourself vs. in-salon stories, please consider the Barielle products below for at-home manicures and pedicures:
Celebrity manicurist Elle suggests these products to make the most of your at-home manicure:
The first step to any good manicure is the prep. Before you polish, cleanse and prime nails with Barielle's Restorative Nail Serum. This not only extends the life of your manicure but helps to strengthen weak, thin, and brittle nails.

To keep polish looking brighter, longer and maintain a perfect chip-free manicure, Barielle's Ultra Speed Dry Manicure Extender provides a hard chip-resistant top coat that prevents bright summer colors from fading and light colors from yellowing.

To give yourself the most luxurious spa pedicure at home, Elle suggests:
Save both time and money with Barielle's new 60 Second Mani-Pedi. As a double-duty product that works on both hands and feet- your skin's natural luster will be restored while it gently exfoliates dry and cracked skin and helps you achieve professional looking manicures and pedicures at home.

After your pedicure is done, keep feet soft and beautiful with the Heel & Callus Treatment Cream. This moisturizing and healing cream helps to reduce calluses and smoothes dry, cracked heels.
