FASHION - HEALTH - BEAUTY - life Nail Emporium for tip-top nails Nail Emporium is dedicated to bringing its clients nothing but the best and the most modern looks and finishes along with all the classic ones too. This month we’re bringing you two hot new looks for summer. Holly loves experimenting with nails so she couldn’t wait to try our new range of colour gels .The colour gel is similar to a permanent nail varnish that doesn’t chip, crack or peel and keeps perfectly until you come back in three weeks for your top-up maintenance. First we gave Holly a full set of artificial nails then she tried the new white dazzle gel with ruby red nail art from the outer corners diagonally across the square nail tip. On Holly’s thumbs and ring fingers we placed elegant red rhinestones – an eye-catching finish that everyone comments on, even when they are 3 weeks old. For those of you, like Hillary, we know that you might not feel one hundred per cent comfortable with colour gel, so we have given her the classic French manicure which is also permanent gel, completely chip-resistant with a modern retro spin… Hillary had an overlay on her natural nails; then we gave her a triangular French and finished it off with some white nail art and gold rhinestones to match her rings - the result, pure glamour! Whatever shape, colour or length – we can cater to your individual desire. At Nail Emporium we strive to bring you the best! Feel free to call us on 01983 811234 or 0771 6003570 to book for the best set of nails on the island. If you would like to come in and talk to our team about the variety of treatments available to keep your nails in tip-top condition please visit us at 14 Cross Street, Ryde. Fight the Flab! Steve’s Comments A real life case study of Steve Hancock In the autumn of 2006 Urban Metro Gym introduced a consultation scheme designed to help new members get started and keep existing members motivated. The underlying idea is to help members set personal fitness goals which are more achievable as they are based on quantified evidence, rather than a random set of unmeasured processes. One member to benefit from the scheme is Steve Hancock, whose main goal when he joined Urban Metro, was to lose weight. Following his initial consultation which consisted of a Body Fat Analysis Test and discussions about his diet and how often he felt he could use the gym, Steve was given a personal 6-week programme. During this time he lost over a stone and gained muscle mass. A second personal programme was then designed to reflect his new Dates 15.09.06 03.11.06 10.01.07 24.02.07 Height 180 180 180 180 Weight kg 110 104 102 100 Body Mass Index 34 32 31 30 FAT % 36 33 32 23 Basal Metabolic Rate 2025 2012 2005 2134 Lean Muscle % 64 67 67 77 The figures above indicate Steven 2&
