Today I am in transition to my own salon. I have temporary stop until my place will be ready. However, I will still be doing CND Shellac and Minx at my temporary home. God revealed my vision to me, and you are MOST DEFINITELY SOMEWHERE for only a season. It's time for me to have MY OWN salon, and my own educational center.
Wish me luck as I continue on this journey to new diggs and complete my vision for The Nail Cabaret - A Topaz Woodruff Concept Salon.
I want to offer Charlotte NC something different in it Nail Service Experience. Wait to see the final production!!

Matte Polishes are the Newest Line
Showing up everywhere from automotive paint to mannequins to a myriad of beauty products (including lip colors and even hair products), the no-shine matte look has recently exploded in the nail industry too. More than a dozen professional nail polish brands have launched either a matte color line, a matte top coat, or both — and many of these launches were announced in just the last few months. “It’s all about a unique texture on the nails and a matte finish is very fashion-forward,” says Essie Weingarten, founder and president of Essie Cosmetics; Weingarten developed Essie Cosmetics’ first matte formula to match the matte finish of Mercedes-Benz Black Series during last season’s Fashion Week.
Once relegated to men, a matte finish is now being touted by women everywhere as a fresh, edgy, and confident style. The lack of glossiness increases the impact of the polish color itself, letting it “wow” without any distractions.
On a microscopic scale, a matte finish has a rough surface, explains Doug Schoon, chief scientific advisor for CND. A matte polish or top coat formula will include an ingredient, usually some kind of powder (like silica), to make the polish scatter light rather than reflecting it back to the eye. “Mirror finishes reflect light back to the eye, while matte finishes scatter light,” Schoon says.
