(Australia-NewsWire.Com, June 22, 2016 ) Sydney, Australia -- Hollywood is brimming with different nail trends but as most things in the business, the nail art trends come and go. Paula Garcia, a nail technician in Los Angeles who was worked with different celebrities throughout her career, knows how things work in Hollywood, especially in the beauty department. In an interview, Garcia reveals how nail art trends work in Hollywood.
"Celebrities are basically like a lot of us – they get ideas off the runway and off magazines," said Garcia, who has been working as a nail technician for 8 years now. "If they see something great in the runway, you can almost always be sure they'd be calling their people to get ahold of those. They always want to be trendy."
Garcia said that the same goes with nail art trends. Although in this case, the designs that actors and musicians prefer are much more personal. "It's a question of taste," Garcia said. "If they like it, they want it. A lot of these celebrities are also influenced by their stylists."
Garcia added that celebrities often consult their stylists on the latest trends. They also want their nails to match their outfits or the event that they're heading to. In terms of nail products, nail technicians know which ones work best.
"If it's a one-time thing, like a redcarpet event, they're often fine with acrylic polish and even fake stick-on nails," Garcia said. "But if it's something they want to last for quite some time, they often as for gel nails. Gel nails are cured under UV light and they come out strong and with colors that pop."
The Hollywood nail technician added, however, that some celebrities do not yet know the new technologies in the nail art department. There are products now that turn regular nail polish to gel nail lacquer, so they could use just any favorite nail polish and transform it into something more long-lasting.
"Products like Hydracol’s Polish to Gel are definitely game-changers," she said. "I don't know if there are other products like this. So far, Polish To Gel is the only solution I've come across with that does what it does. So far, my clients are loving it."
