awaken to spring! i am ready for sandals and dresses without tights and getting out all of my sunglasses! here are my favorite nail care items of the moment to get me to an exciting outdoor season! Nail butter in past nail care blogs, i have raved about nail butter. i put it on every other night before bed. before this treatment, my cuticles were very rough and the sides of my fingers were hard and dry all of the time. this has really softened everything up. its a bit pricy, but worth the dough. formula x: the system trio i dont know how readily available this is, but it has changed my life. if you spot it at sephora or tj maxx (i found it there for $4.50), then do not hesitate. i love step one: the cleanse. it removes all oils and preps the nails for base coats. it has really reduced bubbles on my nails which result from oils, etc. Nail tek II intensive therapy i think that the jury's still out on nail strengtheners. that said, i have used this product pre-base coat on my last few manicures and i have noticed a reduction in breakage. if you have weak and/or peeling nails, give it a try! jojoba oil lots of nail bloggers have recommended jojoba oil for nails, cuticle and hand care. i found some online on the cheap and have been filling an empty nail polish bottle. i use it on my toes everyday and on my fingers after every manicure. it keeps everything healthy and moisurized. i have even heard that it has some age-defying properties for the hands, but i have yet to see that. trim nail care sticks my favorite orange sticks are found at walmart for cheap cheap cheap. there are a ton in each packet and they are best for attacking the dry skin about my cuticles. far more gentle than metal cuticle pushers. nails inc kensington caviar 45 second dry top coat this is by far, my favorite quick dry top coat. $15 at sephora, it is one of those rare items at sephora that is actually worth the money. vitamins: calcium & biotin
vitamins are controversial when it comes to nail health and growth. some claim that they work great, others say they are a waste of $$. i think it is a benefit that varies from person to person. i have weak nails and am unable to grow significant length. i stopped taking calcium and i noticed a remarkable thinning of my nails that resulted in breakage. since taking daily calcium citrate and biotin, my nails are notibly stronger and healthier. please do your own research on suppliments. I take the above vitamins bc i have found that they work for me. I avoid calcium carbonate bc it is minerials mined from stone and not from a natural nutrient source. i'd love to hear your thoughts on this. what do you take? let me know your top picks for nail care! hope your spring is exciting and renewing. next blog: whats in my travel manicure kit?
