A Product I Am Loving………..
Nutra Nail Bullet Proof Strength (Base Coat) + Nutra Nail High Gloss (Top Coat)
I found this at Wal-Mart last week and decided to try it. It came in a special combination pack where I got both polishes in the same pack for $4.98. (I thought I still had the box it came in but I must have tossed it) When I just apply top coat to my polish, within 1-2 days, it’s already chipping. Annoying. I decided to try this and see if it would work or not. I used nail polish remover on my natural nail to get all of the oils off of it so the polish would stick better. Then applied: 1 coat of the Nutra Nail Bullet Proof Strength (the box recommends 2 coats), 2 coats of my nail polish, then one coat of Nutra Nail High Gloss Top Coat. This stuff is awesome! My nails went one full week with very minimal chipping! Just the tips of a couple nails chipped. Several people asked me where I got my nails done at because they thought it was a manicure. It made my nails very thick/strong and there was no scratching of any sort on the polish by the week’s end. I could have went longer but wanted to change out the color.
*My only complaint: takes a long time to dry. I let it dry for 35 minutes before I did my makeup, and I noticed a little bit of scratching in the polish from it not being fully dry; but there was no additional scratching from anything else during the week. So you need to have patience with this product. But for the price, I can definitely have the patience.
*Would I buy this again? ABSOLUTELY! My polish lasted for a week and looked great. And for less than $5, you can’t beat that!
*What I’m wearing on my nails: Ulta Mint Condition and Essie in Tour De Finance
And A Product I Am NOT Loving.
Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector in 1.7 ounces for $73
I have a few dark spots on my face from the sun. I really don’t have any acne scars or anything like that but I do have a small red spot from where I got a sun spot removed. This product has been something I have had my eye on for months and months. After reading many great reviews on it, I decided to go for it. After about 6 weeks, I noticed some SLIGHT fading in the color but the spots were still very much visible. The small red spot I had has completely faded out. Now after almost 9 weeks, I have not seen much more fading. The instructions are to apply this twice a day over your dark spots. I have done this RELIGIOUSLY 2 times a day, for 9 weeks and have got minimal results. For the effort I’ve had to put forth applying this twice a day and the money I spent, I was hoping for better results. I will finish the bottle out since I did invest in it. They say after 12 weeks you will see your full results and I know I am not quite there yet, but there has been minimal transformation. This is just my personal opinion of the product as there were hundreds of reviews where people had great results in their opinions. (I have not been in the sun AT all since using this as it is winter/spring here, and the FEW times I have tanned, I covered my face) I will say that if you do invest in this and decide to try it, go with the smaller bottle as it is 1.0 ounce for $49.50 as the product does last and a little bit goes a LONG way. It’s a very thin textured white serum that spreads easily on your face and does require some dry time to soak in to your skin. If you have acne scarring, I would recommend this product to you but if you are just trying to fade or get rid of sun spots, I would NOT recommend this.
*Would I buy this again? Nope. I’m not impressed with the results.
I am going to try the Proactiv Dark Spot Remover once this runs out as I think it has stronger ingredients in it and I will be SURE to review that for you. J
Hope this helps, and once again, thanks for reading! XOXO
