ELABORATE BEAUTY & BOLD CONFIDENCE


Dear Friends,<br />

Welcome<br />

2012<br />

Happy New Year! I want to wish you all a very healthy, happy<br />

and prosperous 2012. Welcome to the second issue of <strong>THE</strong><br />

<strong>CONNECT</strong>.<br />

Over the past few years, the global economy has fluctuated<br />

wildly. Many businesses have experienced challenges, while<br />

others have flourished. I’m pleased to report that our industry<br />

has succeeded, largely because of you! In 2011, nail polish<br />

replaced lipstick as women’s favorite recession-proof luxury.<br />

With the endless colour options nail polish presents, we saw<br />

women of all ages becoming more adventurous in their nail<br />

colour preferences, often opting for brighter and bolder<br />

shades. Nail polish sales soared 54% and this growth is<br />

expected to continue in 2012!<br />

In the next few weeks we will be opening the JESSICA<br />

ACADEMY, our new corporate training center that will host<br />

classes and educational events for professionals worldwide!<br />

We are also pleased to announce the addition of a new Los<br />

Angeles boutique Advertising Agency to our team; they are<br />

busy developing a new JESSICA brand campaign that will be<br />

presented in the next issue of <strong>THE</strong> <strong>CONNECT</strong>.<br />

Finally, we would like to thank you for your support in<br />

joining JESSICA ® in the fight against breast cancer through<br />

our BUCKETS OF HOPE promotion. With your purchases,<br />

$25,000 will be donated to Bright Pink ® on behalf of our<br />

loved ones and their families who have been affected by this<br />

terrible disease.<br />

With warm regards,<br />

Jessica<br />

3 Heavy Petal<br />

Get ready for a bumpy ride! The road map for Spring 2012 colour and fashion<br />

trends is full of twists and turns. Some paths lead to bold tones, while others to classic muted hues.<br />

Spring fashion is all about the use of colour to reflect personal style. Pink continues to lead the pack for colour,<br />

while transcending shades create inspiration for specialty manicures.<br />

Bright and bold colours dominated Fashion Week runways throughout the world; however, Paris designers gave<br />

the fashion world more of a pastel hue for the season. They say fashion comes full circle, so don’t be surprised as<br />

2012 trends put a modern vibe on past decades.<br />

INTRODUCING HEAVY PETAL<br />

® A colour collection blending rock n’ roll attitude with a feminine edge! A style melody of 6 JESSICA Custom<br />

Colours featuring amplified tones and textures for a combination of drama and spirit that is sure to steal the<br />

spotlight.<br />

The Inspiration An<br />

ROBERTO CAVALLI MISSONI CHANEL<br />

eye-catching collection of<br />

feminine pieces in shades of pink<br />

were accented by subtle sparkle and<br />

pearl details. Textures and prints in<br />

vivid colours were accented with<br />

crystal detailing and black and pink<br />

petals. Beaded and ruffled pieces<br />

added a special touch to complete<br />

each of the looks. This unique<br />

collection became the inspiration<br />

behind the variations of tones,<br />

textures and finishes in the Heavy<br />

Petal Collection.<br />

A high spirited collection threaded<br />

with strength and conviction that<br />

was clearly all about colour. Looks<br />

were drenched in creative colour<br />

mixtures of pastels and vivid hues.<br />

A combination of fabrics and<br />

textures gave the collection a retro-<br />

floral vibe which was the driving<br />

force behind the shades and colour<br />

names selected.<br />

A noteworthy mix of mood<br />

elevating colours and pieces<br />

inspired by the 80’s. Bold, multi-<br />

colour floral prints were paired with<br />

edgy vests, leather trousers and rock<br />

n’ roll skinny jeans for a romantic<br />

allure with a seductive flair. It was<br />

Cavalli’s creative combinations that<br />

influenced the collection theme.<br />

Neutrals<br />

Neutrals<br />

Spring trends have been<br />

all over the map from vibrant shades to<br />

soft seascape tones this season “anything goes.” As we transition<br />

toward summer, colour trends swing in the opposite direction as<br />

bold hues take a backseat and elegantly understated neutrals take<br />

the wheel.<br />

Minimalistic colours make a big statement, with creamy shades of<br />

gray, white, beige, pale pink and blue giving fingertips a refreshing<br />

contrast from the “norm” and a dash of coral adds a punch of<br />

vibrancy to the mix. This collection exudes luxury and laid-back<br />

femininity that is perfect for all style preferences. Inspiration for<br />

the seasons “it” hues were derived from natural, botanical and<br />

interior design elements. Subdued tones and subtle changes<br />

in texture show a strong crossover between fashion trends and<br />

interior design for a colour palette that is worn and relaxed for a<br />

season of more eclectic and open styles.

JESSICA vs. GELeration<br />

Q:<br />

Q:<br />

A:<br />

Q:<br />

A:<br />

Q:<br />

A:<br />

JESSICA or GELeration... how do you choose?<br />

You don’t have to. The beauty of both JESSICA and GELeration is their ability<br />

to stand alone or work together. When analyzing your client’s current nail<br />

condition, appointment frequency and lifestyle, you will be able to properly<br />

identify which System will be most beneficial. Should their needs change at any<br />

time, transitioning between Systems can be done with ease. The JESSICA System<br />

is perfect for colour lovers who like to change their polish on a regular basis;<br />

while GELeration provides an alternative for those who lead active lives that leave<br />

minimal time for themselves.<br />

Will a GELeration manicure damage the natural nail?<br />

No. GELeration was formulated based on the core fundamentals of the JESSICA<br />

philosophy — dedication to the care and health of natural nails. Jessica believes<br />

in treating the nails from foundation to surface; her unique methods for nail<br />

preparation leave a healthy foundation for the application of GELeration.<br />

How does a JESSICA manicure differ from a<br />

GELeration manicure?<br />

It all comes down to this: one concept, two systems. Healthy nails for all nail types<br />

and lifestyles. Each of the Systems provide a flexibility that will meet the needs of<br />

all lifestyles. A JESSICA manicure is no ordinary manicure; it is an experience that<br />

provides pampering and therapeutic qualities clients can enjoy every two weeks.<br />

Whereas the GELeration manicure provides a complete service for clients who<br />

are constantly on-the-go and only have time for appointments every three-tofour<br />

weeks. Uniquely, both lines create a shield of coloured armor that encases<br />

the nail, protecting and allowing it to grow. Highloaded pigments provide a rich<br />

depth of colour making it nearly impossible to visually tell a JESSICA or GELeration<br />

manicure apart.<br />

Will offering both JESSICA and GELeration bring my<br />

salon additional revenue?<br />

Equally, JESSICA and GELeration Systems offer luxurious treatments, using<br />

the lines together for specialty manicures validates increasing the cost of your<br />

services. Remember, each appointment is an opportunity to educate clients on<br />

the importance of aftercare, resulting in increased retail revenue.
