Health & Beauty Q&A: Nicole Harvey

Nicole Harvey is the co-owner of The Polish Studio, Mairangi Bay and lives in Torbay. Looking back, moving to the Shore was one of the best decisions she has ever made. In her leisure time she enjoys walking her two dogs, Coco and Brax. They love Long Bay Beach!

Tell us about how what you do helps make people feel better:

Think of getting a manicure or pedicure as an enforced time-out (with a large amount of pampering!)
With this fast-paced world we now live in, we all owe ourselves a little time for luxury without the expectation of a lightning-fast response to those calls, texts or emails.

 

What are the essential elements in your daily health/beauty regime?

Exercise! Sitting down and bending over all day does take its toll on the body. I find if I go the gym or do a walk in the morning before work my physical and mental state is much better throughout the day. Beauty-wise, it's colour or sparkle! I love to add a little something special to my nails. My current fav? Silver glitter!

 

What is your number one health/beauty tip for summer?

Hydration. Keeping your hydration up through the summer months is a must. Nail growth, hair growth and general wellbeing all stem from good hydration. Another must is an IBX treatment for your nails. This will help your nails stay strong and healthy while you enjoy your summer activities.  

 

Who do you most admire for their approach to health/beauty – and why?

I personally believe in Rachel Hunter for inspiration and commitment to the heath and beauty industry. Over the last few decades she has promoted self love and feeling confident and happy in your own body. She is a true Kiwi icon for all New Zealand women!

 

What is your health/beauty ambition for 2019 and how will you achieve that?

Less makeup, more confidence. How am I going to achieve this? A balanced diet, exercise and of course the team at FaceTime Skin Clinic! Together we have a goal and plan in place for 2019. From regular facials to the right home skin care. All of these combined, mean one thing to me. Confidence!
