Customers who visit nail shops need creative and unique designs, but at present nail artists remain at the level of design imitation, new nail art designs should be developed to satisfy customers. Therefore, this study presented convergent nail art designs using formative art principles which are the basis of all design with the aim of contributing to creative nail art designs. For this purpose, this study investigated specialized books, Internet data and previous studies on the subject, analysed concepts and cases of formative art principles, and the concept of nail art and related expressive techniques to create six convergent nail art designs. As nail art techniques, this study used hand painting, marbling, see-through, etching, embossing, patching and objet. As a result, this study presented unique and creative nail art designs using formative art principles and found the possibility of creating new nail art designs. This study has meaning in that the results of this study are significant as basic data to enhance the design capabilities of nail artists.

Body Art and the Perioperative Process

Body modification, also known as body art, has been a common cultural practice for thousands of years and includes body piercings, transdermal and subdermal implants, tattoos, scarification, body stretching and sculpting, dental grills, and nail art. Perioperative nurses must learn more about body art to provide nonjudgmental, nonprejudicial care and to ensure patient safety when they prepare patients for surgery. A welcoming environment engages patients and fosters communication so that patients are more likely to share hidden body art. It is also necessary for the preoperative nurse to communicate with the perioperative team about patients’ body art to avoid airway complications, tissue trauma, pressure ulcers, burns, postoperative surgical site infections, or distorted fluoroscopy or magnetic resonance images. Identifying patients' body art in advance allows the perioperative team to be better prepared to deliver safe care.

The Effect on the Stages of Change in Nail Health Promotion Based on Transtheoretical Model

In terms of nail health, incorrect nail treatment during application of nail art or nail biting because of mental disturbance can damage fingernails. In fact, fingernails can be a sign of health problems caused by poor habits or incorrect nail treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to determine underlying problems so as to keep our body and mind healthy through healthy and proper nail care. To investigate the effects of change processes, decisional balance and self-efficacy regarding the stages of changes in nail health promotional behavior after applying a trans-theoretical model, a total of 220 questionnaires were distributed to men and women in their teens to fifties living in Chungcheongnam-do and Chungcheongbuk-do, and data were collected from December 10, 2015 to January 15, 2016. Except for 31 poorly answered copies, 189 questionnaires were chosen for statistical analysis. Regarding the variables having influence on the stages of changes in nail health promotion behavior, change processes, decisional balance and self-efficacy were found. It was confirmed that the application of an integrated model that explains principles and processes could transform undesirable habits for nail health into desirable ones. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a variety of intervention programs for nail health promotion behavior to promote a shift from the pre-contemplation to maintenance stages after applying a trans-theoretical model. It is expected that there would be further studies on the development and verification of nail health promotion behavior programs based on the study results.

네오 팝 작품을 응용한 네일아트 융합디자인 -장 미쉘 바스키아, 무라카미 다카시 작품을 중심으로-

The aim of this study is to contribute to the idea of creative design by presenting nail art designs in which neo pop art converges with nail art techniques. For this purpose, this study analysed the artistic worlds of Jean Michel Basquiat and Takashi Murakami as representative artists of neo pop art and used examples of their art as motivation based on Internet data and relevant books. Also this study analysed the concept and expressive techniques used in nail art, and for the nail art techniques of: hand painting, see-through, etching, nail patches, 3D, and airbrushing in order to create six nail art designs using artistic works by three artists as motivation. Based on this, this study presented creative and unique nail designs with artistic works by neo pop artists as motivation. It is hoped that this study will contribute to further use of characteristic and diverse nail designs and is helpful in promoting the capability of nail artists and activate the nail art scene. It is expected that research on nail art design will be expanded and developed through convergence with diverse design areas in the future.

네일미용·메이크업 산업체의 인력 요구분석과 NCS 교육, 국가기술자격과의 관계

This study analyzed the qualifications necessary and manpower required in the Jeju nail art and make-up industry. We aimed to investigate the relationship between NCS education and national technical qualifications. For this study, 164 participants were given a questionnaire, and the collected data were analyzed via frequency analysis and multiple regression analysis using SPSS Ver. 18.0. The results of this study are as follows: 1. Matching job seekers with available positions was more difficult in nail art businesses than in makeup businesses. The main routes by which practitioners found jobs were Internet job sites and acquaintances. In addition, experience was the first consideration in hiring employees. 2. Those in high positions had less intention of employing students who had received NCS education, than those in lower positions. Intention to employ NCS graduates was high in businesses that found their employees through Internet job sites, vocational training institutes, acquaintances, or colleagues. Nail art workers prioritized NCS educational units in the following order: nail care, nail shop hygiene, gel nails, cosmetic nail removal, and tips/wraps. Makeup workers had the following priorities: basic makeup, wedding makeup, makeup shop safety, and hygiene management. They also mentioned basic occupational skills such as communication skills, interpersonal skills, and problem solving skills. Moreover, the new national licensing system was found to reflect competency in the most important skill sets.

How “your hands look” and “what they can do”

Women use the #ManicureMonday Twitter hashtag to educate people about hand and nail care, share their nail art and expertise, and look at various hands. Beginning in 2013, the scientist Hope Jahren organized a hashtag hijacking in which scientists who were not in control of or associated with #ManicureMonday disrupted individuals' collaborative conversations about manicures, tried to educate participants, and expressed the scientists' values and interests. The scientists argued that what women's hands do is more important than how they look and that women and their manicured hands are constructed as passive objects on the Twitter feed. Jahren and these other scientists have identified Twitter as useful for their conversations about science and extended their own social capital by microblogging. They also use Twitter as a way to instruct women about objectification and other feminist issues and to intervene in women's interest in their nails, which these scientists believe is frivolous and disempowering. In this article, I address the diverse ways in which these ideas of usefulness, useful media, instruction, and social capital are articulated through #ManicureMonday by performing a close textual analysis of the manicure tweets and the hashtag hijacking. My reading is based on the relationship among feminist inquiries about viewing positions and objectification, the literature on useful media, and conceptions of social capital. I argue that we need to attend to the ways the #ManicureMonday hijacking and other instances of media education may not be useful for all participants.

In dry rough discolored nails, only a single sitting was done while in hyper-keratotic nail conditions multiple weekly sittings were done.Results:In 22 patients with dry rough nails, 80% showed good improvement, 10% showed average improvement, whereas 10% were non-responsive. Nine patients with thickened nail plate showed good improvement in 60% average improvement in 25% improvement and 15% were non-responsive, after multiple sessions.Conclusion:Controlled keratolysis of the nail plate with application of 70% glycolic acid can be a promising treatment for modality for thick, uneven, rough and pigmented nail-plate conditions with cosmetically pleasing results.

Airborne contact dermatitis and asthma in a nail art operator

Nail art (creation and decoration of artificial nails) is a growing fashion trend. Proportionally to its popularity, the number of allergic reactions to the materials used has recently increased. We report the case of a nail art operator who developed occupational allergy to acrylates, manifested with the unusual simultaneous presence of asthma and dermatitis. Cutaneous lesions only affected areas not covered by individual protection devices or clothes, even if such areas were not in direct contact with acrylates, suggesting airborne allergic contact dermatitis. While respiratory problems were solved with the correct use of a mask at the workplace, facial dermatitis proved impossible to avoid or control and, for this reason, the patient had to change her work.

A Study on the Nail Discoloration of the Polish

Due to rapid growth of nail art industry, various materials and expression tools are have been developed. Increasing number of consumers favor diverse nail art techniques including painting and artificial tips in addition to basic care such as cuticle trimming or coloring. Accordingly, the diversity of polish colors has been settled as a concept of total fashion in addition to the clothes and accessories. As the result, nails may be damaged or discolored. A study the nail discoloration by using polish was purposed that contribute to the development of nail protective products. The tests were conducted with 20 college students for six months from March 3 to Aug. 28, 2009, using digital camera as the measurement apparatus. The students were classified into two groups which applied bright polish (white, beige, pink series) and dark polish (purple, blue, black series), and then divided into the groups applied and not applied the base coat which is known to be effective in preventing nail discoloration, and the groups applied and not applied tonic. The students applied polish for one week, and removed the polish with remover and photographed to examine the degree of nail discoloration. Dark colored polished resulted in earlier coloration and discoloration than the bright colored ones. Base coat could prevent coloration and the color changes of hyponychium and eponychium were lighter than the cases not applied with base coat. Tonic could delay coloration and reduced the color changes of hyponychium showing that tonic was effective for preventing coloration and discoloration of nail in addition to nutrition.

여대생의 라이프스타일과 네일 아트 서비스에 관한 연구

Today the number of economically independent women are increasing in Korea, they have a tendency to pay more attention to their appearance in their social life. Female university students show a high tendency of that kind, especially when they prepare for their job interviews. They purchase beauty products, visit beauty salons and skin care centers to improve their looks. Above all, their interest in nail art is amazingly increasing for maintaining their self-image. This study thus aims at surveying the relationship between college woman's life style and their interest in nail care, by analysing life styles of college women pursuing up-to-date style. The results show that an 'egoistic' type has a high interest in and a high frequency of using a nail care center, and 'egoistic' type's demand for the nail service is equal to or quite higher than 'appearance-oriented' type's. That means that the 'egoistic' type seems to pay much attention to how they look, because they think their neat appearance help to accomplish their ego.

Nail beauty

Nail beauty depends firstly upon nail health. It is a truism to say that a beautiful nail is always a healthy nail. In addition, there are subjective and evolving aspects of nail beauty which are related to fashion. The texture of the nail affects its appearance and function. Soft or brittle nails are fragile. This results in unattractive longitudinal and horizontal splitting. Fragility is encouraged by wet work and excessive nail manicuring, especially by the removal of nail cosmetics. Critical to the aesthetic appeal of the nail is its shape. Most pleasing are nails are those that conform to the 'magic' ratio, in which the nail's length is approximately equal to its breadth, especially for the thumbs. The role of nail decoration and nail art in nail beauty is a subjective and evolving question of fashion.

Nail art: a review of current infection control issues

Nail art or nail technology is a form of nail decoration which frequently entails applying extensions to the natural nail and then adding decorative effects. There have been a number of outbreaks of infection which have implicated nail art. These infections are likely to be as a result of difficulties in cleaning and maintaining the nail extensions. Nail art appears to be incompatible with clinical care.

A comment: Mackay Rays shimmer due to accommodation changes

Mackay (1957) reported visual shimmer and chrysanthemum-like patterns seen when looking at a display of lines converging to a central point: 'Mackay Rays’. Mackay attributed the shimmer to some central brain effect, related to the high information redundancy of the figure. The answer seems more prosaic. The chrysanthemum patterns show every sign of being moire patterns, given by displaced afterimages, as they are very similar to the moire patterns produced by overlaying the Ray figure with its slightly shifted transparency. A simple observation suggests an optical origin for the shimmer. When the Ray or other repeated-line patterns (including Leviant’s ‘traffic illusion’) are viewed through a pin-hole the shimmer disappears. As the pin-hole increases the depth of field of the optics of the eye, so the usual small continual fluctuations in accommodation (focusing) of the lens have small or no effect. This strongly suggests that the dynamic shimmer seen in these static figures has an optical cause: changes of size of the retinal image, due to the usual rapid ‘hunting’ of accommodation (Alpern 1962) giving retinal motion signals. As measured with a high-speed infrared optometer (Campbell et al. 1959), the oscillatory changes of focus of the lens of the eye have large individual differences and are affected by various conditions, but generally there is a maximum amplitude around 0.5 Hz and another peak around 2 Hz. The amplitude can be nearly half a dioptre.
