UV update

This news ain’t gonna make Mike “The Situation” happy: researchers have discovered that it’s impossible to get a perfectly even, all-over tan (it’s the derriere that doesn’t get golden as easily).

And something else I’ve been meaning to look into that the New York Times has just provided me with the answer for? Those UV nail lamps. I’ve been using them more often than usual (have tested out both Shellac and Axxium manicures recently) and putting my digits under the lamps always make me a tad uneasy–I mean, what sets them apart from using a tanning bed? Nothing much, it turns out, and it appears that UV nail lamps “could be a risk factor”, according to this item from the NY Times.
