But there's one emerging trend in nail art you've probably never seen before: cannabis-infused designs. Customers are starting to bring bud to their nail technician so they can stylishly infuse the greenery into an acrylic or gel manicure in lieu of the gold flakes and glitter we're used to seeing. The canna-mani, or "weedicure," gets its name from the incorporation of ground cannabis flower in your nail design.

However, it's now possible to narrow down your target audience even further based on their interests.

Solar ultraviolet radiation is ubiquitous in human life and well-known to cause skin damage that can lead to harmful conditions, such as erythema. Although sunscreen is a popular form of protection for some of these conditions, it is unclear if sunscreen can maintain the mechanical barrier properties of skin. The objective of this study is to determine if in vitro thin film mechanics techniques adapted for biological tissue are able to characterize the efficacy of commonly used UV inhibitors and commercial sunscreens to protect the biomechanical barrier properties of stratum corneum from UV exposure.
