So you’ve heard about strip lashes, and lash extensions, but what about lash lifts?
We’ve discussed lash lifts a few times in the past, but we still get plenty of questions regarding the differences between the two lash lift services we offer, procedure, aftercare, etc. I know that when I get any special treatment, I love to read all about it! Even down to the ingredients they use! Are you the same? If so, let’s hop right into it!
First things first, a lash lift is not the same as lash extensions. It does not add length and does not require fills every 2-3 weeks. It is perfect for those lucky ladies with naturally long lashes that just point straight down. Or for those with many long lashes that are too heavy to stay in a curl. The answer to all your miseries? Yumi Keratin Lash Lift. Trust us, we’ve seen the results, and we’re in love! Essentially what the lash enhancing treatment does is bring out the best in your natural lashes. It will lift and curl your lashes so it stays perfectly curled for at least 6-8 weeks! (Of course, some of us have different lash cycles and thus, may affect the longevity of the lashes.) Interested in learning the process? Keep reading below!
If you’re a lover of lash extensions, then you’ll be very familiar with the first steps of the lash lift. Similarly, a gel pad is laid to prevent any of the lash tint to get into your eye. Certified Prép technicians will then apply a silicon bump to lay your lashes on. The sizes of the silicon bump can vary as it determines the curve and curl of your natural lashes. If you have shorter natural lashes, we would most likely used the smallest sized bump, if we use the largest one, your lashes would be flat (This is sometimes used in a procedure that relaxes the lash lift)!
During the YUMI Lash lift, your lashes will then get lifted and perming solution will be applied to each individual lash. The lashes now begin lifting/perming! A fixing solution is then apply over to hold the lashes onto the bump the proper amount of time. Lastly, the lash tint is applied to darken light lashes! Did you know that many brunettes often have blonde tips on their lashes? Tinting them help bring out the length!
After a quick clean up, a keratin infused nourishing oil/treatment is applied ensuring your lashes look extra perfect! Want to see some before and afters? Keep scrolling!

As a little girl, which one of us didn’t love Ariel from the Little Mermaid? Answer? None of us. We all absolutely adored her. Her luscious garnet hair, and her beautifully shiny & scaly tail. So if you’re a lover of all things majestic and dreamlike, then you’ll find yourself in love with the nails we will be showcasing today! Today’s #nailinspo features a few of our favourite summer mermaid & unicorn nails! Complete with pastel scales, holo, and of course, and unicorn horns!
So what exactly makes a fairy tale fantasy well, a fantasy? Several key factors, read below!:
♡1- Glitter. So. Much. Glitter! Not only does it make the perfect accent nail, but who doesn’t love glitter? Just one shade of glitter (our favourite is silver!), can add so much fun to a set! It is the perfect balance between getting a safe, neutral set of nails, and art-on-every-finger set! Just one simple colour glitter to completely jazz up your set! Whether it be ombre, sheer glitter, or a full opaque coat, whatever it is- we’ll take it!
♡2- Glass nails- Shattered nails became one of the top trends in Korean nail styles just recently. It is simple, yet so mesmerizing and captivating. You can add them to your entire nail, or just a few small detailed pieces to add subtle art. The iridescent reflection it creates completely satisfies our ‘Fairy Tale Fantasy’ Nail add-on check list!
♡3- Mermaid Scales- What is a set of little mermaid nails without the scales? Reflective, shiny, and the perfect last touch to really bring out your love for the sea! Whether they are carefully drawn on, or created using nail art deco stickers, this is an accent nail to you will for shore love! ( ;)! )
♡4- Watercolour- Simple, yet so beautiful. With watercolour, you can picture yourself swimming through the deep sea with the mermaids and baby dolphins, or running through the colours of the wind with your unicorn! Watercolour effect can be created using an abundant of colours and mixing them into a dreamy palette. They are also so versatile as you can add designs or deco on top or create ombre watercolour! The possibilities are endless
♡5- Unicorn Horn- Okay, who has dreamed of having a pet unicorn when they were younger? Literally every little girl. With hard gel, we are able to sculpt out unicorn horn-like designs on your nail! Adding that extra touch and getting you one step closer to petting that unicorn!

What’s Prép’s favourite Summer nail look? One word- M A R B L E! Solid, hard, granite marble! Inspired by the classiest of washroom and kitchen counters, the stone or water marble look is to die for! Okay, so why exactly are we so captured by the tile look? Several simple things.
It adds a touch of elegance and catches attention, without stealing the whole show. Having trouble deciding between 2 different shades of blush nude? We feel that- just use one as a base for the accent marble nail! There are literally so many things to love about marble nails, it looks cute whether it be on sculptured gel extensions (READ! Gel extensions vs Acrylics here!), or a even on simple gel manicure!
Marble sets look so cute with whatever colour you want! Turquoise? Yes! Sweet baby pink? Yes! Totally jazzes up a simple trip to the salon!
Not feeling a solid colour? Don’t even worry about it, we at Prép love the marble trend, that we can do all of them in marble! All marble, All day, Everyday.
Why not mix together 3 of the hottest, best, trends of Summer 2017? Marble, Holo , and the Ombré! Perfect for those who love to experiment with all kinds of nail art!
Loving gold? So do we! After all, gold & white are Prép’s signature colours! Whether it be gold flakes or gold foils, it would still definitely pair the marble! Notice the small detailed gem? Small touches are the perfect way to complete this fabulous manicure!
Marble is elegant, and on top of that, lace details and blush pinks add to the subtle manicure without being too drastic. The basic nudes and simplicity of the set is impeccable when it comes to matching anything in the wardrobe. Subtle, yet absolutely gorgeous!
Negative space, marble, and chrome! Another foolproof mixture for those who don’t want to make several trips to Prép, to try out trends! Try them all at once with this set! So fun!
