Will nail technicians of the world have to unite against the machine? In Japan, vending machine nail art, in theory, can give you that little oomph to your plain manicure.
Step 1: Size your nails (Two can be designed at a time for just over $3usd)
Step 2: Add money, insert finger
Step 3: Machine stamped artwork
Step 4: Cleanup, Sealant, Tell all of your girlfriends!
There is a decent array of designs for automation:
A sigh of relief – a nail tech is still needed to pre-check hands and finalize treatment. You may get a botched job or two as well, which isn’t handled by robots. If it was any smaller I’d take one for my station.
Back in the US, Sephora has taken a lead from the Japanese and launched vending machine beauty. Gone are the days of the kiosk – a few coins and you too can replace that fav fragrance or lippy that security tossed in the name of, well, security. The machines are making their debut this week at BNA in Nashville, TN; LAS in Las Vegas, NV; IND in Indianapolis, IN; DFW in Dallas, TX; JFK in Queens, NY; and IAH in Houston, TX
Will you use vending machine beauty?

Melissa Rycroft, made famous on The Bachelor for getting the man, not getting the man, and now getting THE man, has tied the knot with former flame Tye Strickland, also from Dallas. Strickland and Rycroft dated three years ago but became serious after she became available again when her televised engagement was called off.
The former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader kissed her groom to Monday Night Football in Isla Mujeres. While she was barefoot in her strapless corsetted Alfred Angelo gown, Rycroft surely glowed with her customized skin treatments performed by celebrity aesthetician Renee Rouleau.
Melissa started with a facial, quickly became hooked and trusted her big day to Renee. I am a huge fan of the Vitamin C & E. To find out which products are best for you, find out your skin type. Happy day, Melissa and Tye!
