Aug 22, 2019
ON EPISODE 34 OF THE SPA IT GIRL TALKSHOW PODAST
YOU HEAR IT ALL THE TIME THAT A-BEAUTY IS IN - WELL IT TRULY IS AND I SAT DOWN TODAY WITH KARA JEFFERS FOUNDER OF MISS FRANKIE to find out what inspired her to want to start and offer Miss Frankie ten free, vegan and cruelty-free in the spa, salon, nail bar or at home.
We talk about all things from;
What it's really like being a Mum and GIRLBOSS
What her own self care rituals are
We talk openly about how it takes time to build any brand, business and despite people looking at pictures on instragram which at times makes out that being an entrepreneur is so easy you simply post a photo on instagram and you then become an overnight sucess how that is far from the real truth.
Kara shares words of wisdom on if you want to start up your own brand, business what she thinks is so important, plus tips on how she manages her brand, business, being a Mum and personal life plus so much more.
I also talk very openly how important it is for us to support Hard Working Aussie SPA's or SALONS owners who are running their business in compliance with Australian regulations, law, so as a result don't run a cash business and cant under cut on price services.
And how important it is for us also to be supporting AUSTRALIAN MADE PRODUCTS instead of every other country. As Australian is making less and less products now and that isn't such a great thing long term say in 40 years.
But before you hit the play button here is some information on Miss Frankie.....
Created by professional manicurist and salon owner Kara Jeffers, Miss Frankie is polish that’s passionate about your long-term nail wellbeing.
Made in Australia, Miss Frankie’s healthy nail polishes utilise an innovative ten-free formula – that means it doesn’t contain the common toxic ingredients found in many varnishes – that also allows penetration by air and water.
The result is healthier, happier nails. Plus, they’re safe to use when pregnant or on kids who like their fingers to have a little flourish.
And although Miss Frankie nail polishes are the healthy option – did we mention they’re cruelty free and vegan on top of all the other good stuff? – there is no compromise on quality.
They apply smoothly to produce flawless, even coverage, and are chip-resistant, long-lasting and fast-drying.
Miss Frankie believes good things do come in little packages, so we have taken the time to make a product that not only performs well but looks beautiful, too.
There are so many claims these days about what is (and isn’t) in nail polish, but what does it all really mean?
With today’s technology there is no need for nasties such as formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde resin and camphor to be in your pretty bottle of polish.
Why did they have these toxic ingredients in polishes for years (many still do) and why are they now obsolete? They’re good questions. Here are some facts about those nasties.
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) Makes polish more flexible, but is banned in many places because it enhances the capacity of some other chemicals to cause genetic mutations, and is linked to developmental defects.
Formaldehyde Hardens and preserves nails, but is possibly carcinogenic.
Formaldehyde resin Helps nail polish adhere to nails, but is thought to cause allergic reactions.
Toluene Provides a smooth finish, but can cause dizziness, headaches and skin irritation.
Camphor Gives nail polish a glossy finish, but can trigger allergic skin irritations and cause nausea, dizziness and headaches.
OK, so none of these ingredients sound great, but equally you might think the small amount in nail polish will do you no harm. To be honest, maybe it won’t, but why take chances when the alternative is so much better? Miss Frankie healthy nail polish is proudly ten-free, which means it contains none of these ingredients, and is vegan and cruelty free as well.
What is breathable nail polish? So all this sounds amazing, but what actually is breathable polish?
And what makes it bond, shine and last on nails? Breathable nail polish is made using a unique polymer that allows water and oxygen to pass through ensuring a healthier environment for your nails with no compromise on quality.
The Miss Frankie formula is ten-free, vegan and cruelty-free.
