"My husband and I stayed at the cabin as well as my sister, brother in law and father over the weekend for a friends wedding! The cabin was so quaint, cozy and private! We loved the relaxing and homey feel and enjoyed wine out on the back patio until late into the night! The rooms were very comfortable, the huge loft with comfortable couch upstairs is perfect for a cozy movie night and the cabin had all the amenities you could think of! Troy was very accommodating and professional and encouraged us to call if we needed anything at all which was very nice. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone!!"Guest: Megan K. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 29, 2015View listing

After Ending Arms Program, Libya Receives a Surprise
By WILLIAM J. BROAD and DAVID E. SANGER; William J. Broad reported from New York for this article, and David E. Sanger from Washington.
Published: May 29, 2004
In March, just as the Bush administration was showing reporters some of the secret nuclear equipment that Libya gave up after renouncing its arms program, the Libyans received a fresh shipment of illegal parts from the nuclear black market, according to a new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, was not cheating, however. The Libyans may have been as surprised as anybody when the parts -- advanced centrifuge components for enriching uranium, a crucial step in making nuclear bombs -- showed up in Tripoli's port. Colonel Qaddafi's aides quietly reported the arrival of the shipment to American intelligence and to the atomic agency.
Though accounts of what happened are still contradictory, the American-led team that had originally seized five containers of centrifuge parts from a ship in October amid much fanfare had missed one other container -- apparently parts that came from a different place than the Malaysian factory that was a main supplier to Libya. The additional container, the I.A.E.A. said, was full of components for the P-2, the most advanced centrifuge available from the secretive network set up by Abdul Qadeer Khan, known in Pakistan as the father of the country's nuclear bomb.
The International Atomic Energy Agency disclosed the oversight on Friday in a new report on Libya's nuclear disarmament.
It said the intercepted ship, the freighter China, had continued on toward Libya after the raid was over. The container of centrifuge parts that arrived in March, the report said, ''had escaped the attention of the State authorities that had seized the cargo ship.''
But a senior American official involved with the issue said in an interview on Friday evening that the atomic agency might have its timing wrong. ''We didn't miss anything,'' he said. ''Everything we had actionable intelligence on we found. This was not part of the same shipment of parts.'' He said he believed that Libya had actually received the container in January, and then handed it over to the United States in March.
''The Libyans warned us that they had ordered a lot of additional stuff,'' he said, ''and some of it hadn't shown up. Some might still show up in the future.''
The China presumably made other calls around the Mediterranean between the time of its seizure in October and its arrival in Libya.
The seizure of the China's cargo was the biggest achievement for the year-old Proliferation Security Initiative, a new Bush administration program that seeks international cooperation in blocking commerce in unconventional arms. But the fact that inspectors apparently missed one cargo container -- the administration said that the team had reported that it would have been impossible to open them all -- seemed a bit embarrassing, some experts argued.
''This case, where you actually identified and searched the ship and still didn't find a critical packing crate, makes clear what the limitations are,'' said Matthew Bunn, a nuclear expert at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. ''That doesn't mean we shouldn't continue. We should. We just have to understand how much reliance we can place on it.''
The disclosure of the late-arriving arms shipment was a small part of a larger report on Libyan disarmament.
It also showed that Libya had an agreement to obtain a total of 20 tons -- or roughly 10 small bombs' worth -- of uranium hexafluoride, a standard raw material for making nuclear arms. Last Sunday, it was reported that North Korea might have been responsible for supplying Libya with nearly two tons of the material, which Libya then turned over to the Untied States this year. The atomic agency now disclosed that the two tons was simply the first installment, but it did not name the source.
The report, obtained Friday from a Western diplomat, was prepared for the atomic agency's board, which is meeting next month to review the status of Libya's nuclear disarmament, among other issues. The agency, based in Vienna, is a branch of the United Nations that acts as a global inspector to make sure nations live up to their pledges to pursue only peaceful nuclear programs.
The secret Libyan effort to obtain nuclear arms became highly public last October when the China was seized in the Mediterranean.
A search of the ship at the port of Taranto, Italy, by American and British intelligence led to the confiscation of thousands of centrifuge parts bound for Libya.
In December, the White House announced that Libya had agreed to dismantle its clandestine nuclear program, much of it from Dr. Khan's secret nuclear supplier network.
President Bush, in his State of the Union address in January, praised the development as a major accomplishment of his administration. ''Because of American leadership and resolve, the world is changing for the better,'' he said. ''Last month, the leader of Libya voluntarily pledged to disclose and dismantle all of his regime's weapons of mass destruction programs, including a uranium enrichment project for nuclear weapons. Colonel Qaddafi correctly judged that his country would be better off, and far more secure, without weapons of mass murder.''
In March, at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and under extraordinary security -- guards with automatic weapons stationed every few yards -- Bush administration officials showed reporters some of the most basic of the high-speed centrifuges that Dr. Khan had sold Libya, known as P-1's. In addition, they said they had received 4,000 more advanced centrifuges, P-2's, which were kept out of sight.
Later, some experts accused the Bush administration of exaggerating how many operational P-2 centrifuges it actually obtained from Libya. Officials denied any overstatement.
Earlier this year, Libya turned over to the United States a giant cask holding nearly two tons of uranium hexafluoride. Although the Americans identified Pakistan as its likely source, international inspectors have recently found evidence that North Korea secretly provided Libya with the uranium in early 2001. If confirmed, it would be the first known case in which North Korea sold a crucial ingredient for making atomic weapons to another country.
Uranium hexafluoride is a standard raw material for feeding centrifuges, machines that spin incredibly fast to concentrate uranium into its best components for making bombs.

Did you know? Memorial Day started out as "Decoration Day" during the aftermath of the American Civil War, as a way to ensure that the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died in shockingly short order, during the second half of the 19th century, would not be forgotten. The origin of this practice is hard to pin down, but it was originally celebrated in northern states on May 30th, which specifically did not coincide with any battle, so that all soldiers could be honored equally. For reasons of their own, the South celebrated their own Decoration Day on a date different from the North.
By World War One though, Decoration Day had become Memorial Day, and was celebrated all over the country on the last Monday in May. It was also at this time that Memorial Day grew to encompass the fallen soldiers of all wars, not just the Civil War. And in a fit of passion, an army doctor wrote "Flanders Fields" after presiding over the funeral of a fallen soldier, and the vivid imagery of the poppy flower as nature's memorial to the dead became a worldwide emblem of Memorial Day, and was then adopted for Veteran's Day as well.
Today, Memorial Day is a celebration of fallen soldiers certainly, but it is also a day to celebrate America's freedom, and to help veterans through the sale of poppy flowers, often provided by vets themselves in all number of places in every city and town in the US. And the poppy has certainly become the emblem of Memorial Day, emblazoned on everything from table cloths to bright red poppy lapel pins. Many organizations make special edition poppy versions of their products, with proceeds going towards veterans affairs organizations.
I'm personally a big fan of Memorial Day, not only because it's a wonderful thing to remember the men and women in this country who gave literally everything they had to preserve the freedoms we enjoy every day, but also because it falls right next to, and sometimes on, my birthday. So poppies for me are both memorial and celebratory (and the paid vacation day isn't a bad birthday gift!). And if you can't find someone selling poppies around this Memorial Day, be sure to to check us out: our poppy lapel pins are a great tribute.

I know he would love it, as well. If you're looking for cozy, rustic charm, this place has it. The cabin was immaculate and stocked with everything we needed, including campfire forks for toasting my marshmallows (thanks!) The view from the cabin is lovely and I especially enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning with my coffee watching the fog move through the valley below. I really liked that the cabin is located by itself at the end of the road with no neighbors anywhere near. If you like quiet solitude, you get it here. We enjoyed a hike up the hill behind the cabin and walked along the ridge to the edge of a Christmas tree farm where it opened up to gorgeous views. The following day we drove to Roan Mountain and hiked the balds (Round, Jane and Grassy Ridge) at Carvers Gap, which offer spectacular mountain views, and is an easy drive from The Cabin (about 30 minutes). I highly recommend this hike if you've never been (5 miles round trip). After a long day of hiking (and hitting some nearby antique shops!), I was eager to get back to our comfy cabin. That evening we made a nice meal (the kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, utensils, pots/pans, spices, etc.) and we relaxed on the deck with a bottle of wine and a game of Scrabble. Later we enjoyed a campfire. Ahhhh, does it get any better than this? Not for me! When can I return?"Guest: Chris P. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 23, 2015View listing
"We had a wonderful stay in this magical cabin. It is in a location convenient to Linville Falls, Grandfather mountain and more and yet tucked away in complete peace and quiet. It is well stocked with everything you need to make it a home away from a home but is different enough from your average home to make your visit into a true holiday. We highly recommend this cabin in the hills!"Guest: Natasha O. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 13, 2015View listing

Inactivation of Salmonella enterica Serovar Senftenberg 775W in Liquid Whole Egg by Ultrahigh Pressure Homogenization
Abstract:Two batches of samples of liquid whole egg were inoculated with a load of approximately 3 and 7 log CFU/ml, respectively, of Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg 775W and submitted to different ultrahigh pressure homogenization (UHPH) treatments at 150, 200, and 250 MPa. The inlet temperature of the samples was 6°C. Counts of viable and injured Salmonella cells were obtained 2 h after the UHPH treatments and after 5, 10, 15, and 20 days of storage at 4°C. The level of pressure applied influenced the lethality attained significantly (P < 0.05). In the samples with an initial load of approximately 7 log CFU/ml, the highest lethality value of 3.2 log CFU/ml was obtained at 250 MPa, and it is similar to those values reported in other surveys for thermal pasteurization with this same Salmonella strain. When the initial load was approximately 3 log CFU/ ml, total inactivation was apparently obtained after the 250-MPa treatment (2.7 log CFU/ml). After 10 days of storage at 4°C, Salmonella counts decreased in UHPH-treated samples, and colonies were not observed in tryptone soy agar and yeast extract medium. Nevertheless, presence of viable Salmonella cells was detected with the VIDAS Salmonella immunoassay method during the entire storage period. These results encourage further investigation of UHPH processing of liquid whole egg, assaying the possibility of using higher pressures and fluid inlet temperatures.

Success in wedding photography and especially in performing on the wedding day is more about your communication skills and your listening skills and knowing how to read people.  That will go a long way in making you a great photographer rather than focusing on how technically brilliant you are. The ability to have an endearing and attractive personality and the ability to work under pressure while still being technically proficient is especially important.  You almost need to be like a chameleon. In the sense that you need to know how to be relaxed and more down to earth at a casual wedding and at the same time be able to carry yourself professionally when you're at a high society wedding. I also believe that assisting at weddings is the best training for any photographer. At the very first wedding that I assisted, I probably learned more…

"Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else."
– Leonardo da Vinci
My name is Matt Adcock and I am lucky to have found my dream partner, Sol Tamargo. Together we run Del Sol Photography in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and we are always in search of "something else." Since 2005, we've been using water and climate to create original, fun, and artistic wedding photography. I'd love the opportunity to share some of that with you and also wanted to thank Scott Kelby and Brad Moore for giving me the chance to do so.
For Sol and I, as I'm sure is the case with so many talented artists and artist teams, finding ways to stay fresh and creative, break out of routines, and chase that "something else" is a labour of love. It takes patience (which we don't always have), it takes dedication (which is sometimes hard to muster), and it takes an ability to embrace the unknown to be ready to take advantage of it – which is so hard to see coming!
For Sol and I, we have a few areas that are the keystones of our efforts in our attempts to chase that "something else…"
Make Epic Photos About Them
If you allow yourself to daydream a little, it's pretty magical where you can go with a creative mind. After listening to and understanding our clients' expectations, we try to figure out the perfect shot for them. We brainstorm and sometimes even make sketches (when necessary) to see the frame. Our favorite clients are always dreaming and picturing "what if"… so it's important that our imagination is in tune with theirs.
Imagine carrying 2 Underwater Housings (and all of the accoutrements) more than 500 miles from home with 3 packs (full of gear) by car, plane and boat to reach your destination. Imagine further, 5 more boats on the wedding day and a tiny strip of sand in the middle of nowhere – San Pedro, Belize. A solid example with one of our craziest executions making photos of them happened a when our studio received this inquiry:
"My fiance Lara and I are planning a wedding in Belize…. picture it… A white sand beach that crests just above the water not more than a few inches… no trees, no dirt… nothing but sand… water so clear it magnifies the ocean floor for miles around and skies so blue and perfect that the odd cloud only enhances every scene…"
Photo by Matt (more from this event here)
Equipment + Environment – Use it and Abuse it!
Ever look down a windy beach and see that mist that travels off the ocean with the wind? In Spanish, the word for this misty salty mash is "Bruma." We are always surrounded by it – whether we like it or not!
During one session, I wanted to feature the "Bruma." I knew a creatively used flash would add the dimension to the frame I was looking for. Basically we sculpted with light creating shadows with a little back lighting using a small speedlight at full power, full CTO Gel on my flash and my WB set to 10,000 kelvin.
While the toll is high… Imagine changing lenses or having anything with metal contacts in this environment, don't even think about sensor gunk – it's unbelievable. Tropical climate for sure means a reduced shelf life for electronics – but when you get an image like this, it's all worth it. Our suggestion is to invest in sealed camera bodies and buy the professional lenses to increase usability if you plan on working tropical.
Inspire and be Inspired
The late Steve Jobs quoted Picasso: Good artists copy and even greater artists steal! The idea is that nothing is really original, everything we produce as artists is a reflection from something or someone that we were influenced by. While I think the word stealing is heavily laden with sometimes negative connotations – I love to be inspired, I love to give credit where credit is due, and I love to take ideas to new levels.
I would like to thank Tony Hoffer (again) for stopping me dead in my tracks and reminding me to take risks with weather. A few years ago, my bags were packed and I retreated when rain occurred. Seems like the intelligent thing to do right? Ever since that first time I laid eyes on Tony's engagement image, I'm excited when mother natures throws me a curve-ball. Tony didn't invent the rain, but he certainly had a thing or two to share and I think we're all the better for it!
Did I steal this image? No, I don't think so. Did I glean inspiration from Tony s original creation? Absolutely, and I worked hard to push it further in a very different setting, and was quick enough to recognize a great set of circumstances were aligning when I captured this moment (somewhat lucky too). The reflection / bounce on this all black umbrella caused this amazingly soft down light. I didn't plan that :). Also, her toe kick and the little trickle of water being lit by the flash really gives an additional movement feature to this frame…
Personal Projects as a Lifeline to Creative Freedom
Trash the Dress (TTD) has become a real source of creative freedom for Sol and I as it started as a personal project. Although it's hard to reinvent yourself each shoot, we find ways to trip the imagination and come up with something else. The fun comes in the challenges we face, rugged locations, hikes, mosquitos, and almost anti-gravity underwater. The real kicker, these people aren't models, and quite often they can't swim! Its a bit cold as well, 62 degrees, so we really only have 30 -45 minutes of shooting time underwater. There are many risks, but the payoff is monumental.
Did I also mention that we find our way into caves to get this crystal clear water? They're natural sink holes, called cenotes (se-no-tays), considered a sacred portal to the Mayan Underworld. The cenotes are part of the largest underground cave network in the world and exist only here in Mexico. Somehow we were able to merge daydreaming / fantasy photography and our brides into a business that is as far away from the "aisle" as possible. When was the last time a wedding photographer donned a wetsuit for anything wedding related?
I wanted to share a few TTD frames because this has been one of the most amazing things to happen to us. As you look through these TTD snaps, realize that we are always shooting for US and less worrying about client expectations.
Hey everyone, Brad here with a quick update from Photoshop World Washington DC! Just wanted to share a few shots from the event so far. More to come later!

Word for Worldly Women
1Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on Samaria's hill, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their masters: "Bring, so we may drink."
2My Lord Adonai has sworn by His holiness: "Behold, days are coming upon you when he will drag you away with meat-hooks, the last of you with fishhooks.
3You will go out through breaches— each woman straight ahead, and you will be cast to Harmon." It is the declaration of Adonai.
4"Come to Bethel and transgress, in Gilgal multiply transgression. Every morning bring your sacrifices and your tithes every three days.
5Offer up hametz as a thank offering, call out about freewill offerings— boast about it! For so you love to do, Bnei-Yisrael." It is the declaration of my Lord Adonai.
Yet You Have Not Returned
6"So also, I myself have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places— yet you have not returned to Me," declares Adonai.
7"Also I myself have withheld from you the rain—when three months remain to the harvest, I caused it to rain on one city, while on another city I sent no rain; one piece of ground would get rain, while the portion not rained on would wither.
8So two or three cities go staggering to one city to drink water, but would not be satisfied— yet you have not returned to Me," declares Adonai.
9"I struck you with blight and mildew. Your many gardens and vineyards, your fig-trees and olive trees the locust has devoured— yet you have not returned to Me," declares Adonai.
10"I sent among you a plague in the manner of Egypt. I slew your young men by the sword, with your chariot-horses in captivity. I made the stench of your camp rise up even to your own nostrils— yet you have not returned to Me," declares Adonai.
11I overthrew some of you as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You became like a firebrand snatched from a blaze— yet you have not returned to Me," declares Adonai.
Prepare to Meet Your God
12"Therefore here is what I will do to you, Israel. Because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!"
13For behold! He who forms mountains who creates the wind, who declares His thoughts to man, who makes dawn out of darkness, who walks above the heights of the earth—His Name is Adonai Elohei-Tzva'ot!

Nail polish
Nail polish (also known as nail varnish) is a lacquer that can be applied to the human fingernails or toenails to decorate and protect the nail plates. The formulation has been revised repeatedly to enhance its decorative effects and to suppress cracking or flaking. Nail polish consists of an organic polymer with various additives.[1] After many years of use nail polish can weaken your nails. There is also another type of more advanced nail polish technology that is called gel nails. It is a more luscious, thick, and vibrant nail polish. There are many types of chemicals inside nail polish and should be used with caution. Another point about the industry of nail polish is that there are many nail polish brands that are competing to have the most business. In nail salons there is also a lot of completion between different nail brands and which is the cheapest, the most vibrant, the most expensive, or the best. The term " nail polish" can be defined as regular nail polish or as gel. Many people think of regular nail polish when they hear the term nail polish but scientists are making so many discoveries that it's hard to nail this whole cosmetic industry on one point.
Nail polish originated in China, and its use dates back to 3000 BC.[1][2] Around 600 BC, during the Zhou dynasty, the royal house preferred the colors gold and silver.[1] However, red and black eventually replaced these metallic colors as royal favorites.[1] During the Ming dynasty, nail polish was often made from a mixture that included beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum Arabic.[1][2]
In Egypt, the lower classes wore pale colors, whereas high society painted their nails a reddish brown, with henna.[3][4]
By the turn of the ninth century, nails were tinted with scented red oils, and polished or buffed. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, people preferred a polished rather than a painted look by mixing tinted powders and creams into their nails, then buffing them until shiny. One type of polishing product sold around this time was Graf's Hyglo nail polish paste.
Nail polish consists of a film-forming polymer dissolved in a volatile organic solvent. Nitrocellulose that is dissolved in butyl acetate or ethyl acetate is common. This basic formulation is expanded to include the following:[5]
- Plasticizers to yield non-brittle films. Dibutylphthalate and camphor are typical plasticizers.
- Dyes and pigments. Representative compounds include chromium oxide greens, chromium hydroxide, ferric ferrocyanide, stannic oxide, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, carmine, ultramarine, and manganese violet.[6]
- Opalescent pigments. The glittery/shimmer look in the color can be conferred by mica, bismuth oxychloride, natural pearls, and aluminum powder.
- Adhesive polymers ensure that the nitrocellulose adheres to the nail's surface. One modifier used is tosylamide-formaldehyde resin.[7]
- Thickening agents are added to maintain the sparkling particles in suspension while in the bottle. A typical thickener is stearalkonium hectorite. Thickening agents exhibit thixotropy, their solutions are viscous when still but free flowing when agitated. This duality is convenient for easily applying the freshly shaken mixture to give a film that quickly rigidifies.[8]
- Ultraviolet stabilizers resist color changes when the dry film is exposed to sunlight. A typical stabilizer is benzophenone-1.
Base coat[edit]
This type of nail polish is a clear, milky-colored, or opaque pink polish formula that is used specifically before applying nail polish to the nail.[9] The purpose of it is to strengthen nails, restore moisture to the nail, and/or help polish adhere to the nail. Some base coats are marketed as "ridge fillers" which can create a smooth surface, and reduce the appearance the ridges that can appear on unbuffed nails.
Top coat[edit]
This type of nail polish is a clear colored polish formula that is used specifically after applying nail polish to the nail. It forms a hardened barrier for the nail that can prevent chipping, scratching and peeling. Many top coats are marketed as "quick-drying." Top coats can help the underlying colored polish dry quickly as well. It gives the polish a more finished and desired look.
Gel polish is a long-lasting variety of nail polish made up of a type of methacrylate polymer. It is painted on the nail similar to traditional nail polish, but does not dry. Instead it is cured under an ultraviolet lamp or ultraviolet LED. While regular nail polish formulas typically last two to seven days before chipping, gel polish can last upwards of two weeks with proper application and home care. Gel polish can be more difficult to remove than regular nail polish. It is usually gently pushed off (often with a wooden stick) after soaking the nails in acetone (The solvent used in most nail polish removers) for eight to fifteen minutes.
Matte polish is like regular polish, but has a purposely dull finish rather than a shine. It can be purchased as a regular base coat in ranges of different colors. Matte nail polish can also be found in a top coat. Matte top coat is most useful for painting over any dry base color, giving it a different appearance. The matte top coat polish will dull the shine from a regular base coat polish. Matte polish has become very popular through the years, particularly since it can be used in nail art applications, where designs can be created on the nail using the contrast of both shiny and matte surfaces.
In fashion[edit]
Traditionally, nail polish started in clear, red, pink, purple, and black. Nail polish can be found in diverse variety of colors and shades. Beyond solid colors, nail polish has also developed an array of other designs, such as crackled, glitter, flake, speckled, iridescent, and holographic. Rhinestones or other decorative art are also often applied to nail polish. On-line tutorials are available. Some polish is advertised to induce nail growth, make nails stronger, prevent nails from breaking, cracking and splitting, and to even stop nail biting.
French manicure[edit]
French manicures are designed to resemble natural nails, and are characterized by natural pink base nails with white tips. French manicures were one of the first popular and well known color schemes. French manicures may have originated in the eighteenth-century in Paris and were most popular in the 1920s and 1930s. One updated trend involves painting different colors as the tips of the nails instead of the basic white. The pink nail color with the white tip is considered elegant in a survey done at a house party, studies show that men like women with classic French tip more than a neon color like red or yellow. French tip nails take a lot of patience and passion to make and may need to be made with stickers, stencils or,with a basic tooth pick.
Social media[edit]
Social media has given rise to the nail art culture that allows users to share their pictures about their nail art. "WWD reports nail polish sales hit a record $768 million in the U.S. in 2012, a 32% gain over 2011, despite a cluttered market that seemingly sees a new launch each week."[10] Several new polishes and related products came on to the market in the second decade of the twenty-first century as part of the explosion of nail art, such as nail stickers (either made of nail polish or plastic), stencils, magnetic nail polish, nail pens, glitter and sequin topcoats, nail caviar (micro beads) nail polish marketed for men, scented nail polish, and color changing nail polish (some which change hue when exposed to sunshine, and ranges which change hue in response to heat).[year needed] Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube have been popular social media sites that many people around the world are posting their unique nail art. This is good for viewers because it can give them an idea of what kind of nail art they could try for themselves.
Western World[edit]
Nail polish in the Western World has traditionally been worn by women, going in and out of acceptability depending upon moral customs of the day. In Victorian era culture it was generally considered improper for women to adorn themselves with either makeup or nail coloring, with natural appearances being considered more chaste and pure. In the 1920s, however, women left corsets and long gowns behind, changed to simple loose-fitting dresses, and began to wear color in new makeups and nail products, partly in rebellion to such prim customs of their recent past. Since the 1920s, nail colors progressed from French manicures and standard reds to various palettes of color choices, usually coordinated with the fashion industry's clothing colors for the season.
Recently, men have begun to wear clear polish on their nails to protect them from breakage. In the past few years, a few men have also started to wear colored nail polish on their toenails, and some even on their hands, possibly arising from its use by rock music musicians or in Goth subculture. While pastel colors such as pink are not typically worn by men, colors such as black, gun metal, silver, olive green, or brown are more often seen. This is especially true in warm climate areas where open-toed shoes are worn and can mask damaged or disfigured nails.[11]
There are 14 principal nail polish finishes:[12][13]
- Shimmer
- Micro-shimmer
- Micro-glitter
- Glitter
- Frost
- Lustre
- Creme
- Prismatic micro-glitter or shimmer
- Iridescent
- Opalescent
- Matte
- Duo-chrome
- Jelly or translucent
- Magnetic
- Crackled
- Glass-flecked
Nail polish remover[edit]
Nail polish can be removed with nail pads or nail polish remover. The remover is an organic solvent, but may also include oils, scents, and coloring. Nail polish remover packages may include individual felt pads soaked in remover. Some removers are a bottle of liquid remover that can be used with a cotton ball or cotton pad. Others can be containers filled with foam that can be used by inserting a finger into the container and twisting until the polish comes off. Choosing a type of remover is determined by the users preference and often the price or quality of the remover.
The most common solvents are acetone. It is powerful and effective but can be harsh on skin and nails.[14] Acetone can also be used to remove artificial nails, which are usually made of acrylic and gel nails. A less harsh nail polish removal is ethyl acetate, the active ingredient in non-acetone nail polish removers, which also often contain isopropyl alcohol.[15] Ethyl acetate is generally the solvent in nail polish itself.
Acetonitrile has been used as a nail polish remover, but it is more toxic and potentially carcinogenic. It has been banned in the European Economic Area for use in cosmetics since 17 March 2000.[16]
The health risks associated with nail polish are disputed. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services), "The amount of chemicals used in animal studies is probably a couple of hundred times higher than what you would be exposed to from using nail polish every week or so. So the chances of any individual phthalate producing such harm [in humans] is very slim."[17] A more serious health risk is faced by professional nail technicians, who perform manicures over a workstation known as a "nail table," on which the client's hands rest - directly below the technician's breathing zone. In 2009, Dr. Susan Reutman, an epidemiologist with the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's Division of Applied Research and Technology, announced a federal effort to evaluate the effectiveness of downdraft vented nail tables (VNTs) in removing potential nail polish chemical and dust exposures from the technician's work area.[18] These ventilation systems have potential to reduce worker exposure to chemicals by at least 50%.[19] Many nail technicians will often wear masks to cover their mouth and nose from inhaling any of the harsh dust or chemicals from the nail products.
According to Reutman, a growing body of scientific literature suggests that some inhaled and absorbed organic solvents found in nail salons such as glycol ethers and carbon dilsufide may be human reproductive toxicants. These are responsible for effects including birth defects, low birth weight, miscarriage, and preterm birth.[18]
Nail polish formulations may include ingredients that are toxic or effect other health problems. One controversial family of ingredient are phthalates,[8] which are implicated as endocrine disruptors and linked to problems in the endocrine system and increased risk of diabetes in women. Manufacturers have been pressured by consumer groups to reduce or to eliminate potentially-toxic ingredients,[20] and in September 2006, several companies agreed to phase out dibutyl phthalates.[21][22] There are no universal consumer safety standards for nail polish, however, and while formaldehyde has been eliminated from some nail polish brands, others still use it.[23]
The U.S. city of San Francisco enacted a city ordinance, publicly identifying establishments that use nail polishes free of the "toxic trio" of toluene, dibutyl phthalate and formaldehyde.[24]
Nail polish is considered a hazardous waste by some regulatory bodies such as the Los Angeles Department of Public Works.[25] Many countries have strict restrictions on sending nail polish by mail.[26][27]
