Nails Biography

Nine Inch Nails (NIN) is an American Grammy award-winning industrial rock project, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, Reznor is the only official member of Nine Inch Nails and remains solely responsible for its direction. NIN's music straddles a wide range of genres, while retaining a characteristic sound using electronic instruments and processing. After recording a new album, Reznor usually assembles a live band to perform with him. The touring band features a revolving lineup that often rearranges songs to fit a live setting. On stage, NIN often employs visual elements to accompany performances, which frequently include light shows.

Underground music audiences warmly received Nine Inch Nails in its early years. The band produced several highly influential records in the 1990s that achieved widespread popularity; many Nine Inch Nails songs became radio hits, two NIN recordings won Grammy Awards, and the band has sold over 20 million albums worldwide, with 10.5 million sales certified in the US alone. In 1997, Reznor appeared in Time magazine's list of the year's most influential people, and Spin magazine described him as "the most vital artist in music." In 2004, Rolling Stone placed Nine Inch Nails at 94 on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. Despite this acclaim, the band has had several feuds with the corporate side of the recording industry. In 2007, these corporate entanglements resulted in Reznor announcing that Nine Inch Nails would split from its label and release future material independently.

Since 1989, Nine Inch Nails has made eight major studio releases. The most recent releases, Ghosts I?IV and The Slip, both released in 2008, were released under Creative Commons licenses. Both were initially released digitally, with physical releases coming later. The digital release of The Slip was made available completely free of charge. NIN has been nominated for twelve Grammy Awards and won twice for the songs "Wish" and "Happiness in Slavery", in 1992 and 1995 respectively.

History

Formation (1988?1989)
The Nine Inch Nails "NIN" logo designed by Reznor and Gary Talpas
In 1987, Trent Reznor played keyboards with a Cleveland band called the Exotic Birds, then managed by John Malm, Jr.. Reznor and Malm became friends, and when Reznor left the Exotic Birds to work on music of his own, Malm informally became his manager. At the time Reznor was employed as an assistant engineer and janitor at Right Track Studios, and asked studio owner Bart Koster for permission to record some demos of his own material for free during unused studio time. Koster agreed, commenting that it cost him "just a little wear on tape heads". While assembling these, the earliest Nine Inch Nails recordings, Reznor was unable to find a band that could articulate the material as he desired. Instead, inspired by Prince, Reznor played all the instruments except drums himself. This role remains Reznor's on most of the band's studio recordings, though he has occasionally involved other musicians and assistants. In 1988, after playing its first shows supporting Skinny Puppy, Reznor's ambitions for Nine Inch Nails were to release one 12-inch single on a small European label. Several labels responded favorably to the demo material, and Reznor signed with TVT Records. Ten selections from the Right Track demos were later released in revised form on the band's first full-length studio release, Pretty Hate Machine in 1989.

Reznor said in 1994 that he coined the name "Nine Inch Nails" because it "abbreviated easily", rather than for "any literal meaning". Other rumored explanations have circulated, alleging that Reznor chose to reference Jesus' crucifixion with nine-inch spikes, or Freddy Krueger's nine-inch fingernails. The Nine Inch Nails' logo, which consists of the letters "NI?" set inside a border, was designed by Reznor and Gary Talpas. The logo first appeared on NIN's debut, "Down in It", and was inspired by Tibor Kalman's typography on the Talking Heads album Remain in Light. Talpas, a native of Cleveland, would continue to design NIN packaging art until 1997.

Pretty Hate Machine (1989?1991)
Reznor during the 1991 Lollapalooza festival
Written, arranged, and performed by Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails' first album Pretty Hate Machine debuted in 1989. It marked Reznor's first collaboration with Adrian Sherwood (who produced the lead single "Down in It" in London, England without having met Reznor face-to-face) and Mark "Flood" Ellis. Flood's production would appear on each major Nine Inch Nails release until 1994, and Sherwood has done remixes for the band as recently as 2000. Reznor and his co-producers expanded upon the Right Track Studio demos by adding singles "Head Like a Hole" and "Sin". Rolling Stone's Michael Azerrad described the album as "industrial-strength noise over a pop framework" and "harrowing but catchy music"; Reznor proclaimed this combination "a sincere statement" of "what was in head at the time". After spending 113 weeks on the Billboard 200, Pretty Hate Machine became one of the first independently released records to attain platinum certification. MTV aired videos for "Down in It" and "Head Like a Hole", but an explicit video for "Sin" was only released on the 1997 home video Closure

Thank you Jenny for being so gentle. When it comes to my hands and my nails I become VERY high maintenance. One sign of those nippers and I cringe. But, I love love love having pretty nails. Jenny made it happen.
And, don't confuse shellac with what these ladies do with the biosculpture. This polish lasted through a wicked ski trip with lots of buckling and gloves and more buckling and zipping and cold weather. Three weeks till my first chip.
It's not cheap, but the ladies spend an hour getting everything done just right. For that amount of time and attention I feel the price is justified. It might not be something I can afford all the time, but you will see me there in that chair before every big weekend, vacation, or special occasion.I love that they look fresh and new and last well-beyond the typical mani which only stays perfect one, two, sometimes three days if you're lucky. I certainly don't mind spending a bit more since the result lasts for two weeks without any chips.

I was really happy when I purchased a great Yelp deal for this quaint little local boutique: $30 for $45 worth of services.

After much research and price checking, I decided it would be to my advantage to buy this deal since most other nail chains offer the Shellac gel ranging from $45-$55. Stay Polish offers the BioSculpture mani for $45 and it's absolutely worth it.

I love to support local businesses and this Bird Rock boutique is such a gem! Very clean, super girly, serene and best of all: no smelly chemicals! The women who work there are so sweet and helpful! You're offered a complimentary beverage while you check out their nail polish selection, a refreshing touch!

The only obstacle I encountered was choosing a nail color. Stay Polished literally offers hundreds of BioSculpture colors! I was SO giddy. Most of my experiences with gel nail polish have only offered less than a dozen OPI choices, most of which I already own. It was so wonderful to have a multitude of beautiful colors literally at my fingertips!

And what I found delightful is the fact that if you can't find the color you're looking for, Stay Polished will gladly custom design the color of your dreams. Ladies, especially if you're getting married, how amazing is that option?!

My manicurist, whose name escapes me at the moment, did a wonderful job! I get mani's pretty frequently but she still spent about an hour really taking care of my nails. Great hand massage, too! A little chatty at times, I did want to sit back and relax, but she was nice and polite.

What I also love about Stay Polished is it's confidence in the service it provides. Their policy is simple: If your BioSculpture polish chips for any reason within two weeks of your appointment, they guarantee to fix it - free of charge.

I am happy to report that three weeks later I have no chips whatsoever. (For those of you in the service industry, you know what a true testament that is!) And even though my nails have grown out, I still get compliments on my mani.

Stay Polished definitely shines above the rest. Don't hesitate to book your appointment today!

At Bio Spa Nails, our professional and friendly staff, combined with our relaxing atmosphere allow you to temporarily escape all of life's stresses. Whether you unwind with a soothing pedicure or enjoy getting your a stylish nail design, Bio Spa Nails has the best services for you.

We take pride in offering you a healthy and rejuvenating environment. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable, pampered, and refreshed

Shellac Nails Biography
Two hotly contested nail treatments currently taking the market by storm are Bio Sculpture and Shellac. I have been asked many times which I think is better, and now that I have had both treatments and put both through the wringer, I am ready to tell you my findingsBio Sculpture offers a permanent nail colour that lasts for weeks without wearing or chipping. The advantage of Bio Sculpture Colour Gel is that you can easily change your nail colour by simply applying Bio Sculpture Nail Polish. Later the polish can be removed with Bio Sculpture’s specially formulated Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover and the permanent nail colour will be restored to its original state. When wiped with Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover the permanent colour will not be removed in the same fashion as nail polish.

Visit your qualified Bio Sculpture Therapist to discover the difference of a healthier nail treatment that’s a pleasure to use and wear. Bio Sculpture® Gel makes nails beautiful, flexible and strong. A most superior product that will not damage the natural nails.

Available in over 130 beautiful fashion colours, French and clear, with matching Nail Polish for easy home after-care
Thin, strong, flexible, natural looking
Will not chip or smudge
Excellent for toenails – Dries instantly, will not wear away or smudge
Gel extensions – Add length naturally
A nail treatment to strengthen and condition natural nails
Removal is quick and easy – no damage to natural nails
Bio Sculpture® Gel is a one component nail treatment that strengthens and promotes the growth of natural nails. Applied onto a prepared nail our product cures under a UVA light, leaving the nail strong but flexible with a natural glossy finishCreative Nail Design Shellac is a professional nail service that features hybrid nail colour that applies like polish and wears flawlessly for 14 days with high gloss shine and ten minute removal. Shellac paints on like polish and has a base coat, colour and top coat, Shellac is cured in a UV light s there is zero dry time. Removal is quick and easy with remover wraps that limit finger and skin exposure to acetone by keeping it pinpointed on just one nail. Colours are hypo-allergenic and 3-free. The formula is free from formaldehyde, toluene and DBPBio Sculpture comes in over 130 colours and Shellac comes in 24 colours. However, both types can have different layer colours to create a unique shade of its own.
These are recommend salon application only, and claim to only allow trained professionals to buy their products. Having said that, most nail addicts are able to buy the products through specialist nail retailers or international online stores.
The application is very speedy and a maximum curing time of about 10-20 minutes for all the layers (base coat, colour coats, top coat). Far quicker than a regular nail polish application
There is zero ‘drying’ time. Once cured under the UV light the nails are completely hardened and you don’t have to worry about scrapping or chipping.
If you are afraid you will get sick of your colour choice than not a problem, both can be covered with regular nail polish and removed with acetone-free polish remover.
Neither can be ‘filled in’ when regrowth starts to show. They must be completely removed and reapplied. I actually prefer this.
Staining is a non-occurrence with these treatments.
