INTRODUCING COLOR THERAPY FROM SALLY HANSEN..

THE ADVANCED NEW NAIL POLISH THAT COMBINES COLOR AND CARE

Finally, gorgeous “Color That Cares While You Wear.” The first Sally Hansen nail polish that uniquely blends saturated color and nourishing argan oil in 38 stunning shades created in partnership with Global Color Ambassador, Madeline Poole.

Sally Hansen continues to lead in innovation by introducing its new Color Therapy products:  a nail polish, top coat, and nail & cuticle oil, inspired by women’s desire to wear beautiful color while simultaneously caring for their nails. Sally Hansen’s Color Therapy nail polish contains a patented micro-delivery system that delivers an argan oil-enriched formula, resulting in intensive nourishment and instant moisture for healthier-looking nails.

The Color Therapy nail polish needs no base coat so the oil complex can directly contact the bare nail. 9 out of 10 women experienced a noticeable improvement in their natural nails after wearing the Color Therapy nail polish. Vibrant tones, available in three magnificent palettes, glide on for a radiant, shiny finish with up to 10 days of fade-proof, chip-resistant wear. The Color Therapy nail polish provides the ultimate color that cares while you wear, with everything needed to restore nails without sacrificing luminous color. 

Complete your manicure with the Color Therapy top coat and nail & cuticle oil, both formulated with the same argan oil contained in the nail polish. The top coat provides an ultra-glossy finish for extended wear, and the nail & cuticle oil, the ultimate in nail therapy, instantly makes nails and cuticles look healthier, restored, and rejuvenated. 

The Ingredient Story
Color Therapy blends a complex of natural argan, acai, and evening primrose oil to condition weak, dry nails. Argan oil contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, as well as vitamin E, an antioxidant vital for healthy skin and nails. Acai berry oil is rich in omega-3, 6, and 9 essential fatty acids that are valued for nutrition and conditioning in skin and hair care. Evening primrose oil features essential fatty acids that are known to help reinforce hair strength.

Beauty Review: Essie No Place Like Chrome

 

I was very impressed at how glossy and lustrous this Essie Mirror Metallics Collection Chrome is. I only had to put one coat on my toes, and it looked like two coats of a regular polish.

The chrome is luminous and very shiny. Eye catching, bright, and I love that there aren’t any bubbles in the finished look. It goes on smooth, the brush is shaped JUST the right size to get the job done without making a mess of things.

The trick to the no bubbles is using a really thin layer of base coat after you buffer really good and then thin layer of top coat after the chrome. If you have bubbles in your base coat- IT will show up when your polish dries. I didn’t have any issues though.

Chrome and other metallic polishes have definitely made their way back into the fashion industry and Essie has done it EXACTLY the way it should be! They’ve made them in more sophisticated, softer hues that draw attention yet not in a tacky (I can’t believe she did that) way!

Review: Nailtiques Skin and Cuticle Gel,Formula 2 Protein, & Nail Lacquer (Rio)

Every woman desires to have beautiful, flawness nails. Sometimes life and genetics get in the way, and no matter what we do- it just isn’t happening. I have been having issues with thin, brittle, splitting nails for the last year or so.

I’d tried SO many things; vitamins triggered AT the nails, regular vitamins, nail growth polishes. Nothing was working for me. I had to end up keeping my nails clipped all the way to the quick, just to be able to apply polish. If I didn’t, you could see the splits THROUGH the nail polish. So I was excited to be able to work with Nailtiques.

I was sent 3 of their items, and I loved each of them. Below you will see what products I received and how well they work.

 Nailtiques Cuticle & Skin Gel

I love this thick, lotion like concentrated glycerin and aloe enriched formula. My cuticles are horribly dry, and no amount of skin conditioning oil or thick lathered lotion would even touch the dryness. I had been on the lookout for something that would actually help without leaving my skin oily or greasy.

That’s the reason I LOVE this so much. It isn’t the LEAST bit oily or greasy. It feels like a lotion, and leaves no residue behind. I could see IMMEDIATE results on my cuticles. My cuticles were instantly soft and silky feeling.

The best thing about this is that it takes LESS than a dime sized amount to get all of my cuticles. It lasts all day, even as I do everyday things that need to be done. It soaks in immediately. As soon as I get to my last nail, the gel has already soaked into my nails and the other 9 cuticles!

I like using this before I go to bed at night and then again in the morning. On the days that I’m not wearing polish, I also use this on my nails. It has rid of the white spots and has even helped with a dirty rotten hangnail that made me want to cry. I applied this and it was weird that the pain was gone instantly. I had never had a hangnail before, but it was pretty painful. I’m glad that this took care of the pain!

BUY IT: You can buy the Nailtiques Cuticle & Skin Gel 1 oz.

Jar for $ 15.00 or 1/4 oz. Jar for $ 4.00

 

Nailtiques Formula 2

I’ve had thin and splitting nails for the last year or so from washing so many loads of dirty dishes. I hated it. My nails would start growing out and then pieces would actually start peeling off. I was excited when I got a chance to review the Protein Formula 2 from Nailtique.

I really did see a year or so of damage; splitting, breaking, peeling gone almost immediately. Within 2 weeks my nails looked like I’d never had a damaged spot EVER. As soon as I got out of the shower, I’d use this on my nails.

They were absolutely clean (no polish) and I used it DAILY. Within the 2 weeks, my nails were stronger, healthier, and hard. This can work amazing as a base coat for any nail polish.

You do NOT want to apply this as thickly as you would nail polish. It’s a protein, so apply it thinly. Wipe the brush off several times before applying. One dip of the brush will easily get 3-4 nails for me. If you apply it too thick, it isn’t going to adhere to your nails and let the nail suck up the protein. You’ll just be wasting the product.

To remove this- I dabbed a cotton ball in nail polish remover. Then I held it to each nail for about 40 seconds. You have to realize that the protein in this makes your nails hard, so therefore it IS hard. Holding the nail polish on it for 40 seconds softens the protein, so it’s easier to come off.

BUY IT: You can buy the Nail Protein Formula 2 for

1/2 oz. Bottle $ 17.50
1/4 oz. Bottle $ 9.50
1/8 oz. Bottle $ 5.00

 

Nailtiques Nail Lacquer with Protein

Rio Nail Lacquer with Protein

The Nailtiques Nail Lacquer with Protein comes in 16 different shades, which are all beautiful. I ended up getting the Rio- #308, which is a bright hot beautiful pink. It is infused with the same protein that the nail treatments have, so it’s not only beautiful but also beneficial.

The treatment works by borrowing into the nail bed, giving the nails a boost of health and strength. I love that I can color my nails and help them strengthen themselves too. It’s a win-win situation. (Especially since I was also using the Protein Formula 2).

My nails have never looked so healthy, smooth, and bubble free. I love that the brush on the polish was just the right size. I hate getting a nail polish brush that is either too thin or too thick. This produces just the right amount of polish to get the job done without being too messy and runny.

The brush was actually just the right size that I could “tip” my nails in this enchanting hot pink color. It applied without any issues. I didn’t have any running down the sides of my fingers or toes. There weren’t any bubbles, and it DRIED within a minute. I hate sitting for more than a few minutes waiting for my nails to dry.

Usually if it takes awhile for my nails to dry, they end up getting smeared. My kids are always on the Go, Go, Go- so mommy doesn’t HAVE 15 minutes to sit it out! I love that this is mom friendly (meaning FAST) !

BUY IT: You can buy the Nailtiques Nail Lacquer with Protein for $10 each

Priti NYC Grand Slam Kit Nail Polish Review

My three year old daughter, Adisyn and I love to spend time together painting our nails. We have fun just trying out new colors; dark and light pinks, purples, blues, whites, oranges, greens and any other color we can get our hands on.
It’s a great way for her and I to interact, and I love when she looks at me and says “Oh, mommy- that’s so pretty” in her little toddler voice. It melts my heart. When Priti NYC sent the Grand Slam Kit, which consist of 4 beautiful colors- Adisyn and I were ready and raring to get to using it.

The colors we were sent are; White Ballet Dahlia (Glossy White), Peporomia Pixie (Dark Green), Barbarossa (Light Orange), and Miss Jeckyl (Bright Blue). The Grand Slam Kit is tennis inspired.  
All of these colors are very beautiful and unique to anything I currently had in my collection. The names are different and very thought provoking. They are all very glossy, vibrant, and eye catching. The colors just glided onto the nails with no brush marks in sight!


This nail polish doesn’t chip easily, it held out to me washing dishes daily (2x daily most days). The nail polish dried almost instantly, which is very important when your painting a 3 year olds nails. It is also important when painting my nails because I don’t have time to wait several minutes because there is always something that I HAVE to be doing with 2 kids under 5 in the house. =)

The images on the bottle offer a classy, sophisticated design (which is PRITI NYC’s logo) and then the name of the polish at the bottom on a sticker. The brushes are thick enough to apply a good amount but not too thick as to get polish everywhere on your fingers. The brushes are thick and do not leave marks after the polish is dried.
The formula is actually very luxurious and thick- so one to two coats were enough to look very nice but not gooey and gunky like some polishes. They are all non-toxic and can be used on small children and expectant mothers, which is amazing.
There aren’t many nail polishes that have gone green. I had to avoid painting my nails during both of my pregnancies- I could only find polishes dripping with nasty chemicals.. so completely bare I went. Without ANY nail polish at all.
If you are pregnant or know someone who is and are looking for a great designer nail polish that is completely natural—this is IT! I wish I had known about it, I would have definitely rocked this during my pregnancies. I already had to avoid almost all makeup and hair products because my hair AND face were oily messes.. UGH! So- at least my nails would have looked pretty.

Essie Off the Shoulder Nail Enamel - Review

 

Essie Off the Shoulder Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as “a bold hot pink.” It is a gleamed up pink with an exquisite cool undertone and a glossy cream finish.

This is perfect for summer. I have used this so many different ways since receiving it. I used it by itself to give a naturally glossy beautiful pink which gleams with a natural tan. The tan makes it even brighter and more noticeable. =)

It has an flawless and impeccable coverage in just 2 coats. It applies smoothly and evenly without any trace of bubbles anywhere. There was no streaking at all, or any pooling in certain parts of the nails.

I can get an entire week out of just 2 coats. No peeling, cracking, or chipping and I wash about 1-2 loads of dishes every single day. I am absolutely in love with this formula.

This polish is made to suit all skin tones. My daughter (who is 3) and very fair skinned- always asks “mommy please paint mine- paint mine mommy” So mommy paints hers as well. I only did one coat, but she loved it. She said “Oh mommy, that’s so purrty” lol

Although this has a cream finish, it has a high glossed shine finish. I love the way it looks. You could even skip a top coat if you wish, although it does add more time on how long you can keep it on without the tips fading.

I give this polish an A+ all around. This is part of the Essie Summer 2012 Collection. There are 8 beautiful colors including the Off the Shoulder color I just showed you =)

Disclosure: Thanks to Klout, I was able to review this awesome polish. I wasn’t sponsored for this post, the opinions are 100% mine and completely honest.
