COMING SOON: The "Good" Manicure
Introducing the charity nail. You might have partaken in the "party nail" trend—painting one nail on each hand a different color than the rest. Now, do it for a good cause. At the salon, ask your manicurist to use one of the Citizand+ Nails colors below to contribute to reconstruction in a region hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. Then choose which fingers will stand out from rest. We recommend the ring fingers, but it's up to you. The charge is only $1 per charity nail and all proceeds go to charity.
In case you were wondering, Citizand nail lacquers are “three free” and do not contain toxic chemicals like DBP, toluene, and formaldehyde. We’ve also chosen colors that are on-trend this fall—including an oxblood shade and colorful metallics—so you won’t have to sacrifice on style. We want to build a movement among socially conscious women in New York. Give us a hand, will you?
CITIZAND+ NAILS
Hurricane Sandy’s winds drove water into Brooklyn and lower Manhattan, flooding seven subway tunnels and submerging runways at JFK and LaGuardia airports. More than 8 million people lost power and several of the city's largest hospitals were evacuated. Damage estimates now put the cost of the storm around $50 billion, the second costliest storm in history, behind Hurricane Katrina.
Hurricane Sandy brought devastation down on all of New York City's boroughs, but the scale of the damage on Staten Island has left many wondering communities will ever return to normal. The storm left hundreds of families homeless or displaced in its wake. Proceeds from Staten Island polish will also assist families from Long Island, where authorities estimate that as many as 100,000 homes and businesses were badly damaged or destroyed.
During Hurricane Sandy, a fire reduced more than 100 houses to ash in Breezy Point, Queens. Flooded streets in the area prevented firefighters from reaching the blaze.
Hurricane Sandy devastated coastal communities along the New Jersey shore, displacing thousands of families—some indefinitely—and resulting in prolonged power outages for more than 2.5 million people. In some areas, water supplies were also rendered unsafe due to nonfunctioning water treatment plants. For the next two weeks, gas shortages and long lines continued to hamper recovery efforts.
