Barielle Perfect Mani Review and GIVEAWAY!!!

*Press Sample*

TGIF Dolls!!!! Wow what a week!!!! I am now 1 and 1/2 wks away from my due date and the excitement is KILLING me!!!! I am starting to get a little nervous about labor, but then again I know it will be worth it!!! But just a heads up I probably won't be around as much over the next two months, but I will do my best:)  On to the Nails!!! Today I have the ingredients for the perfect mani, and the best part is you have a chance to win everything I used!!!!

Here are my nails before the start of this mani... I know they don't look that bad right but then again I make it a ritual to do a mani every week!!!

Here are my nails after the Extra Gentle Cuticle Minimizer and Intensive Nail Renewal Oil.  The Cuticle minimizer is really gentle, and not harsh at all:) I have really sensitive skin and I Love that this stuff didn't irritate at all!!! After a good hand washing I used the nail oil and it is awesome!!! the Pic is an elapsed time of about 15 min and massage in!!! With any cuticle or nail oil it is important to give the product time to soak in and do it's job!!! 

Now on to the actual polish!!! My perfect mani is a classic french tip:) I think I am so partial to this look because it is classic for any age, occasion, and outfit i.e. perfect!!!! I started with a base of the Nail Rebuilding Protien and then broke out the French mani kit:) This 3 piece kit has easy to use little guides, a white tip color, a sheer pink nail color and a top coat!!!

I Just Love how easy this kit was to use:) I followed with a quick coat of the Mani Extender and after that was good and dry a good lather up of the hand cream!!! The whole mani only took about 1hr:) and that includes the nail oil soak time and dry time!!!  Now here is your chance to win all the product listed below!!! Barielle Extra Gentle Cuticle Minimizer, Intensive Nail Renewal Oil, Nail Rebuilding Protien, Natural French Manicure Kit, Ultra Speed Dry Manicure Extender and Professional Protective Hand Cream!!!

Good Luck!!!!

Barielle saved my Nails!!!

Happy Friday Eve!!!! I am soo ready for the weekend, I know you ladies probably are too!!!!  And Holy Cow the countdown to delivery day is approaching swiftly, only 4wks 6days to go!!!! I am getting really excited to meet my little princess but sooo not looking forward to the actual L & D part of it all:/ Now on to the fun stuff:) I have 4 fabulous products by Barielle to show you:) I had never tried Barielle products before, mostly because I haven't really ever seen them in stores, except the nail treatments at Sally's:( But when the opportunity to do a review for them came up I jumped on it!!!

The treatments I tried out freaking ROCK!!!! First is the 60 second Mani Pedi Cure treatment ($25) :) This stuff is AMAZING!!! A oil based salt scrub that literally works miracles on your hands and feet!!! and It smells like oranges:) I used it on my hands as soon as it came in the mail and then proceeded to do my feet, my hubby's hands and feet and then I called one of my friends to come try it because I was that impressed!!!!

The next product I tried out was the Nail Strengthener Cream ($17) now I have been using this 2 times a day for the last 2 weeks and I can say I was really sceptical at first... I have never found a topical solution to Splitting nails, Brittle/Ridged nails, Breaking nails, or Soft nails. However I am super impressed with the change in my nails. I have been spending an OBSCENE amount of time in the pool lately and we all know what that can do to your nails, peeling and splitting and breaking like CRAZY:( But I can say I have seen some definite improvement since I started using it!!!!

The next two products I tried out are both base coats:) I used the Growth Activator for Natural Nails ($16) on my toenails!!! After all that time in the pool all of my poor little toenails looked terrible so I cut them all down:( but I can say I have seen significant growth on my piggies since I started using the Growth Activator. They are not quite where they were before I cut them all back but they are getting close:) And we all know how hard it can be to grow your toenails!!!

Now the Nail Rebuilding Protein ($17.50) I used on my fingernails is FREAKING AMAZING!!! I think this along with the nail strengthener cream have literally saved my nails!!! I can't sing enough praises for the combination of these two products!!! I can definitely see a visible difference in my nails and the strenght of them, Super happy girl!!!!

Do you have problem nails too??? I think we all have something about our nails that we don't like or that drive us crazy!!! But I can say that with the quality and results I have seen with these products Barielle will definitely be the first place I go when a problem comes up!!!

Hand Perfection

Happy Tuesday Dolls:) So as a Nail blogger you can only imagine the hell I put my hand, nails and cuticles through. In and out of acetone, polish on, polish off, wash and wash again, whitening soak, buffing and shining. And on top of that I work at a doctors office so constant washing with antimicrobial soap and hand sanitizer galore. So keeping my hands looking fabulous is a full time job.  Well I have been given the awesome opportunity to review Hand Perfection by Ellen Sirot's:)

 

Now before I get started I am gonna show you my before pics

and now for the After Pics

 

 

Now for all the details you want:) The Day Cream is light and silky with a super light clean aloe scent. It absorbs almost instantly with no greasy feeling:) I use this a couple of times a day, right after I wash my hands and miraculously I don't have to use it more than that, the moisture lasts!!! The Night Cream is heavier but still has that super light clean scent. The feeling is not greasy but it is wetter (I'm not even sure that makes sense) a heavier dose of moisture!!! Finally the Nail and Cuticle treatment, a light oil that comes in a super easy to use stick.  I use 1 click on each hand and apply before the night cream. I rub the oil in and let it soak for about 5 min and then put the night cream on.

 

Now for the results: I didn't really notice results till about the 2nd week. My hands were softer and I didn't have to use nearly as much lotion . And now I can see a real difference, my nails are stronger with no peels or corners chipping off!!! My cuticles are tons better I haven't had any of those nasty skin peels:) and the condition of my skin is just all around better:)

 

Now for the price:) Day cream: $14.99, Night cream: $14.99, Pen: $9.99 You can find them locally at  CVS and Walgreens and online at https://www.handperfection.com/ and show the love on facebook here :) https://www.facebook.com/handperfection
