As an official stockist of Nouveau Lashes, we wanted to make you aware of an important update regarding their patch test kits.  

As lash industry leaders, Nouveau Lashes have always taught the importance of patch testing to ensure client safety and maintain professionalism.  

However, due to guidance from the Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), Nouveau Lashes have now ceased production and sale of their LVL Patch Test Kits. Although these are loved by many artists for offering an easy, convenient patch test solution, this discontinuation of patch test kits is a directive from the MHRA that must be followed to ensure compliance. 

Please note: this does not change Nouveau Lashes’ current guidelines on patch testing. 

As beauty professionals, we know just how busy this industry can be and it seems that the Government recognise this too. The UK’s Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have urged jobseekers to consider a career within the “booming” beauty industry. 

As the winter season approaches, it brings with it chilly weather and dry air, which can take its toll on nails. Cold temperatures, low humidity, and central heating can leave nails brittle, dry, and prone to breakage. Not ideal for your nail clients. 

However, with a little extra care and attention, your clients can keep their nails looking fabulous throughout the winter months. In this blog post, we'll share some valuable tips you can pass onto clients (and use yourself) on how to take care of nails in winter.
