We’ve done our share, hope you can help too! Especially to those children in affected areas who are virtually our neighbours. See below letter from Save The Children organisation!

Please donate now to the Asia Pacific in Crisis Appeal. A survivor of Typhoon Ketsana sorts through his family’s soiled clothes. Thousands of people in the Philippine capital and nearby towns were marooned by flashfloods after the typhoon hit the main island of Luzon. The typhoon then moved to Vietnam where thousands of children have been forced to flee. At the same time earthquakes and tsunamis battered West Sumatra (Indonesia) and Samoa. REUTERS/Erik de Castro. For the latest information and updates to our response please click here Asia Pacific in Crisis Appeal Funds are urgently needed for tens of thousands of children across the Asia Pacific region affected by the devastating typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis that have battered the area over the past few days. Thousands of people have been killed and millions more are homeless throughout the Philippines, Vietnam, Samoa and West Sumatra in Indonesia. Your continued support of our Global Neighbours program has made a real difference to children’s lives throughout the world. Thank you. Children are the most vulnerable in times of crisis and Save the Children has issued a global appeal for emergency funds for the current crisis in the Asia Pacific region. These funds will enable us to respond to children’s immediate humanitarian needs and initiate longer-term recovery programs. Save the Children is mobilising staff and resources to provide humanitarian assistance to children and families in Western Sumatra, Indonesia where a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Padang on September 30. According to early reports, the quake destroyed homes and buildings, cut communication and electricity, and damaged bridges in and around Padang, home to 900,000 people. “Children and their families have been forced from their homes and into an extremely stressful and dangerous environment,” said Mike Penrose, Director Emergency Programs for Save the Children Australia. “We are currently sending teams to help and assist in their recovery”. “Save the Children is providing assistance to support our partner organisations in the Samoan capital of Apia and we are in contact with our programs in the affected areas to get a sense of the extent of the damage, and the immediate needs,” he said. Save the Children Australia is leading a major relief effort in the three worst affected provinces of Vietnam. Typhoon Ketsana which, struck the Philippines and Vietnam, has caused the worst flooding in decades. Millions of people have been affected, many losing their homes and belongings to the torrents of water that swept through their neighbourhoods and communities. The next days and weeks will be crucial to children’s survival and well-being. They have endured a disaster on a scale they and their families have never seen before. We need your help now to support children and families devasted by this crisis. Across the Asia Pacific region, Save the Children expects to: Deliver essential relief packages such as non-food items and shelter Distribute food Provide health and nutrition activities Prioritise child protection work, including Child Friendly Spaces that provide a protective environment for children Emergency education Livelihood support to help families regain income and provide basic needs. Thank you for your current support of Save the Children around the world. Any additional help you can provide for the Asia Pacific Crisis Appeal today will help children and their families in their time of need. Yours sincerely Suzanne Dvorak Chief Executive

Season’s Greetings from all of us at Manhattan Nails and best wishes for the New Year!

The festive season is a great for us to have some downtime and getting together for some quality time with family and friends. Manhattan Nails and staff will be doing the same when Christmas and New Year come.

In the meantime, we are remaining opened until Christmas eve, closing on 25th and 26th of December. Manhattan Nails salon will be back to get everyone ready for the 2009 New Year Eve party!

Wishing everyone a safe holiday and remember to keep your nails healthy and beautiful for this party season!

Thank you to all our wonderful clients for your generous support. This year’s Pink Ribbon Day was on the 27th of October and we managed to raised $1000 from selling the Cancer Council Merchandise to the ladies in Mosman and Crows Nest, plus putting in our own share to make it a nice round sum. In addition, we donated vouchers for Pink Breakfast events ran by our own clients and it was wonderful to hear of their success as well!

Being a predominantly feminine oriented service business, we came across many people and our friends who are affected by breast cancer, either directly or indirectly, and we feel the need to take part in fighting this disease. We can’t wait to take part again next year for the Pink Ribbon Day 2009 and raise even more money for breast cancer research and cancer patient supports!

So you’ve spent months on end to grow out your nails, perhaps after you’d spent years wearing nail enhancements  but decided to take them off, using the perfect nail strengthener regime until you nails are now longer, stronger, and guess what … it’s about to snap?  It’s true and it is very common.

Once your nails have reached optimum strength, continuing to harden them can actually make them brittle.  And after all that effort! Well, too much of a good thing is not always a healthy thing.

But don’t despair though, there is an answer and it’s the new Maintenance Formula Nail Envy from OPI. That’s what the product rep from OPI distributor told us when she last visited our salon and we raised our common concern brought to our attention from clients. According to OPI, this newest addition to the Nail Envy Natural Nail Strengthener line, new Maintenance Formula has just the right balance of strengthening and protecting ingredients to help strong nails stay that way.   If nails are weak, start with one of the five Nail Envy custom formulas designed to get them strong — Original, Matte, Dry & Brittle, Soft & Thin, or Sensitive & Peeling.  Follow the directions carefully, and once your nails are beautifully strong, switch over to Maintenance Nail Envy to keep nails at their best.  Finally, you can now have strong nails that are your own, and keep them, too.
