Free Spirit - NEW from Salon System Gellux
Welcome in the happy, carefree season of summer with a collection of vibrant nail shades, with something for everyone, be it: sassy neon pink, fresh mint green, happiness inducing orange, vivid cerise, a blue hue the colour of the Mediterranean Sea or a pared back dusky pink, which one speaks to you?
Brand leaders in professional beauty, Salon System, have announced the launch of its new summer collection, Free Spirit. The eight new shades have everything from neon’s to nudes, the feel-good colours boast fabulous names such as: ‘Joie De Vivre’, ‘Untamed’ and ‘Run Wild with Me’ and are the latest must-have’s for creating a showstopping manicure and beautiful nail art this summertime.
Salon System GELLUX Free Spirit has been developed in collaboration with nail artist and Gellux expert Julie-Anne Larivière. Inspired by her childhood memories and creativity, this collection is all about having fun…
“My inspiration for the collection was originally the rainbow. I wanted a collection which was bright, varied, colourful and fun. I was also inspired by my home country, Canada. The Free Spirit theme reflects how I see myself as an expat and as a creative mind. It’s full of happy colours and to be creative with the shades also brings happy memories of where I come from.”
Salon System GELLUX Free Spirit includes:
FREE SPIRIT, BE A-’MAIZE’ING, JOIE DE VIVRE, GO WITH THE FLOW, UNTAMED, GLORIOUS & FREE, RUN WILD WITH ME, MAPLE DREAMS COME TRUE
“This is a second GELLUX collaboration, we launched our first last year very successfully with session nail technician, Karen-Louise. We’re loving being able to bring Julie-Anne’s expertise and creative eye to the forefront with this new Free Spirit collection. Julie-Anne has worked closely with us for many years now for both our creative shoots and social media content and this was an ideal opportunity for us to take the relationship to the next level. We adore Julie-Anne’s vision and energy she’s created with this new collection,” explains Kathy Holroyd, Salon System Marketing Director.
Each GELLUX gel shade is both chip and wear resistant leaving nails with a long lasting, ultra-glossy finish. GELLUX polishes can be light-cured with either UV or LED. GELLUX gel polishes come in a range of gorgeous glossy colours, whether it’s seasonal shades or on-trend tones you are after. The patented technologies within the GELLUX formulation promotes excellent adhesion and wear properties, while still allowing for removal by soaking in acetone. Plus, Salon System has incorporated colour filled caps for ease of selecting from the shelf or kit bag.
Suitable for use on a natural nail, nail extension system, Acrylics or Fibreglass, GELLUX polishes last up to fifteen days and are UV and LED compatible.
HOW TO USE GELLUX: Apply one layer of basecoat followed by one to two layers of GELLUX before applying a final layer of topcoat. GELLUX can be cured with the GELLUX LED Pro-Lamp in 30 seconds or with the GELLUX EXPRESS LED LAMP in just 10 seconds.

Chantelle: Capital & Me, my self-employed journey & the importance of networking
Introducing Chantelle, a talented beautician, hair extension specialist and proud owner of ‘Chantelle’s Beautique’. We sit down with Chantelle as she tells us how she started out in the industry, her top tips for becoming self-employed, struggles she faced and overcame along the way and her favourite products that she can’t live without!
My treatment room is based in my garden at home and I offer a full range of Hair and Beauty treatments specialising in skin care, brows & hair extensions. My clients love my set up and really appreciate the little touches like being able to park with ease and having more of a cosy experience away from the hustle and bustle of a busy salon. As well as running my own business at home, I also enjoy teaching others on their journey starting out in the trade with my own accredited courses at home as another branch of my business called ‘The Hair and Beauty Training Beautique’. You may also see me in your local Capital Hair & Beauty as I also tutor for one of their training providers ‘Face Forward’ offering brow lamination and lash lift and tint courses.
Meet Sophie, owner of ‘Sophie’s Lashes & Beauty’ which she has been running now for over 7 years!
Sophie gained a wealth of experience working in the industry from her background working in prestigious 5 hotel & spa and salon settings which lead her up to starting a business of her own. We talk about all things beauty and the curved tweezers that she can’t live without!
Hi Sophie, tell us a little bit about your journey and how you go into the industry and what lead up to starting out on your own?
I gained a lot of knowledge from working in different settings from working with a big teams in a 5 star hotels and spas to smaller beauty salon environments. I gained so much knowledge from working in both settings and although it was hard work and long hours.
I started out by working in a few different 5 star hotels with spas and a salons where I gained all my knowledges and experiences from each one to put together for my own business! It was hard work and long hours all the practice paid off. It was actually one of my clients I saw regularly in the salon I worked at that said I should set up on my own and gave me the confidence to go self-employed and I’ve not looked back since!
Something Old - Something New
Does the bob ever go out of style? Short answer: No. The reason for the evergreen appeal of the bob is because, depending on the length, it’s a look that can suit any face shape or hair texture. Right now, it can be anything from a short and swingy French girl bob, a luxurious long bob, or a razor-cut curly bob. For Tori Kiff, it’s about keeping things fresh with the addition of a fringe.
“I love updating a classic curly bob with a fringe, especially as so many of my curly clients seem to think it’s a style they shouldn’t have. I’ve managed to show so many clients that it’s all down to fear and that actually, a curly bob is so flattering and easy to style; I advise them to use their fingers to curl their fringes or to use a brush when styling,” shares Tori.
Of course, the most modern way to wear a bob is the Bixie, a hybrid of the bob and pixie; think classic bob updated with a fringe or micro bangs, or you could play with the Butterfly Bob. RUSH Creative Director Andy Heasman’s a fan.
