Neha Sharma, the founder of Lucullan Studios has recorded down some Manicure patterns that will run the Industry.
Multi-coloured nails

Embellished and Pre-Painted Press-On Nails
This easy DIY manicure technique made a significant rebound in 2019 and possibly prospered more when we got captured at home in 2020. While salons were closed down, nail specialists started giving custom press-on sets to send straightforwardly to their customers — in 2021, individuals will be giving it more a shot on their own.

Fatness to Fitness is the most debated topic in today’s world. Most of the teens and young adults are influenced by movie stars and models who keep their bodies fit and healthy. The misconception of the youth is to reduce weight and look beautiful rather than staying fit and healthy. Men want to look hefty whereas women want to look slim and glam. As a result of consciousness of the outer appearance, people forget how they torment their body by taking steroids that damages the organs. Care for one’s body, the attention they give to the looks is appreciable but often people forgets to understand the primary goal of staying healthy and fit which helps us glow from the inside.
Fitness – A Sign of Self-love
A healthy life keeps an individual happy and cheerful. Spreading love to the world happens, when it overflows from within. Love and care that we give to ourselves help to create energy and a positive vibe around us. The first step towards self-love is being happy about how you look and feel great for the way you are. Taking a lot of inputs or comments from others about one’s appearance ruins their confidence and satisfying other ruins their happiness. Both aspects affect your health internally and externally. Fitness is not working hard in the gym or doing heavy workouts and torturing your body. It’s as simple as bringing small changes in the lifestyle like changing preference of taking stairs or taking a walk to the nearby store. Fitness is not only about the looks, it a way of pampering that you give to yourself. When you give up on something that you love to maintain your physical appearance is not self-love. It’s a way of punishing yourself; it’s an act of being unkind to oneself. Strict diets may look as if you look healthy but it’s more like injecting an adulterate a healthy vegetable or fruit to make it look fresh and attractive. Intake of all kinds of food helps an individual healthier and happier from inside and exercising helps an individual to energize and stays active all day.
Exercises – Power bank of the day
Everyone knows that exercising is good for health; keep us fresh the entire day and it is an important part of our daily lifestyle. But it looks like a herculean task that is ready to swallow us when we starting doing exercises. Most of us would have gone through this before. Have you ever thought why exercising or the workouts are so hard and painful? It’s because we fail to enjoy doing workouts. There are no ground rules for exercising. The ultimate aim of exercising is to stay fit and active. But not all of us understand that rather we are either concentrate on looks or calculating the calories that we had burnt on that day. Say, for instance, practicing for the cultural events at school or college always excited us. We never bothered about the amount of energy that we spend while dancing or enacting a play. Playing with children at home gives us so much happiness and joy; calories are burnt even in that process. Every individual is unique and their way of functioning of the body and mind is also different. It is important to identify your exercise routine to keep yourself healthy and happy.

Parental obesity is a hazard factor for obesity in offspring, with a higher probability for kids to be overweight or obese if in any event one of their parents is. Obese guardians are considered as risk factors for overweight/ stoutness of their offspring.
The relationship between overweight youngsters ‘and parental excess weight represents both gene and environment interactions. Our genes help determine body type and how the body stores and burns fat. But genes alone can’t explain the current obesity crisis. Because both genes and habits are passed down from one generation to the next, numerous individuals from a family may struggle with weight, says DR. KS KULAR, BARIATRIC SURGEON, MBBS, MS, F.M.A.S.
Along these lines, the expanding danger of adolescence or juvenile overweight in people with obese guardians may be because of their hereditary qualities or their living in a similar environment. Besides, youngsters usually imitate their parents. In this manner, dietary patterns and family lifestyle could have an impact on child eating behaviour.
Unfavourable parental eating patterns (including higher consumption of fried, fast foods, sweets) and a sedentary lifestyle such as low physical activity and prolonged TV and computer time may expand the danger of overweight and obesity in both parents and their children.
DR. KS KULAR, BARIATRIC SURGEON,also says, There is a parental contribution to the growing obesity problem among young children and teenagers. Youngsters are more likely to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day if their parents do. Oppositely, youngsters whose guardians eat fast food or drink soda are more likely to do likewise. Food advertising that targets children and youth has been linked to the increase in childhood obesity. Promoting by industries always objectifies girls and women, contributing to body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, low self-esteem and depression.
Both hereditary and environmental factors contribute to childhood obesity. Some environmental factors including parental overweight, shared family lifestyle, dietary habits, and financial status are linked to childhood overweight.
Activities described as lifestyle factors include doing sports, television consumption, or the use of computer games among others. Peer pressure, social convention and religious practices can all lead to determining behaviours related to obesity. A connection has been found between individual weight and friends’ and family weight gain. Juvenile weight is related to that of people of a similar age in the friend gathering. While spousal weight can likewise be connected, life partner decision may impact this. The physical outcomes, emotional well-being issues and victimization are associated with obesity in youngsters and teenagers.
An individual’s friend network may affect their weight. Adolescents are bound to put on weight if they have friends who are heavier than they are. Numerous overweight youth didn’t express familiarity with the long-term consequences of poor diet and being overweight, nor did they view their lifelong health as a concern. A person is more likely to become obese if a close friend or family member has put on certain pounds, even if the friend or relation lives many miles away.
Obesity is a genuine issue in our worldwide now, for adults as well as for children. In our general life, several youngsters are overweight and do not care about their weight and will simply eat anything they desire and do nothing about it. It has been believed that guardians feeding patterns are a major factor in whether a child is under or overweight. Senior author, Dr Clare Llewellyn from UCL, adds: “These results show that parents are not the ‘full story’ when it comes to a child’s weight, and blaming parents for being too controlling about feeding may be unfair.
