素爪ケア(nail crack relieve) review

For all us nail polish fanatics out there, a chipped nail is devastating... it can ruin a perfect manicure. It is unfixable. To this, a certain Japanese company has a solution: cover it with a clear coat so it does not bother you. It is suppose to hide the crack as well.

素爪ケア product

Out of curiosity,  I decided to give this product a try. I didn't have an obvious chipped nail, the chip was not obvious on camera. The chipped nail caused a bit of my nail polish to fall out. This product cost ¥950... so it should have some credibility to work... right?

I tried to zoom in on the crack, but it just showed blurriness #fail

I applied a thin layer but nothing happened... then I tried to apply a thick layer.... I waited for it to dry... for it to harden so it can form a protective layer...

Nothing.... NOTHING! There were no changes. I didn't expect a change in appearance since it was a clear coat... but it didn't repair my nail, it didn't stop the crack from getting worse. It was just... the same... as if I applied a regular top coat... the crack area wasn't protected... I could still move it around... without any effort

Such a gimmick...

Color Club D128 Nail Lacquer review

after 3 coats

It's a snowy season! I'm so thankful I don't have to see snow... at least not right now! But, I really want to create this effect for my nails to match Winter... and since tomorrow is Christmas... what better than to have a falling snow effect on your nails? I found this nail lacquer/polish at Tokyo Hands for ¥1000... it was a bit expensive, but it looked so pretty... I just couldn't resist. I am a huge fan of Gold and White... So I like Marc Jacob's Daisy's design!

comparing my nail to the demo

impressions:

• hard to include all the white and gold sparkles (but not impossible)
• three coats and I got the effect
• takes a while to dry
• need to add a top coat
• should have reminded us to use a milky undertone

This is definitely much more easy to apply compared to other sparkly products but it still requires effort, to get the effect, it took me 3 coats and I had to purposely force the white and gold sparkles to position on my nails. The nail polish took a long time to dry... (1 hour to get all 3 coats). Remember to get a top coat... you will need it or the "snow" and gold will all fall off.

I was quite impressed with the effect.

Winter Frost Inspired Nails Tutorial

end result

Hey my sweetest readers,

As some of you might probably know... I am currently stuck with writing some reviews... that doesn't mean the posts have to stop this week.

I have decided to do a nail tutorial for all of you instead. Pink has always been one of my favourite nail colours because not only is girly, it very subtle and versatile... it works with virtually every outfit and look.

Inspiration:

While I was looking at the frost built up on my lawn this morning, I was inspired to create this look... pink has always been girly... but it seems to be a Spring/Summer look... so what can be done to make it look seasonal and wintery? glitter. Glitter adds a perfect touch the pink giving it a cold and shimmery look matching the snow and frost of winter.

products and materials needed:

• dark pink nail polish
• glitter based nail polish
• top coat
• base coat

Keep it mind it is super important to wear base coat before you apply any nail polish, this protects your nails from the harmful chemicals in nail polishes and staining. Use top coat to seal up the design and prevent chipping (it takes time for your nail polish to dry... why waste that effort?).

For this design you do not need to use exactly what I used (I only found these nail polish colours lying around) you can feel free to play with different colours. I think green, blue and purple are good for this look.

*also make sure that the "nail polish" colour is darker than the "glitter nail polish" to give it that frosted look

Nail Fantasy #29

I found this nail polish in Bonjour (in Hong Kong) and absolutely love this colour... I do not know where I can find this brand other than Bonjour. I like the vivid, bold and solidness of this pink....

My thumb with Nail Fantasy #29

 I usually wear this colour on my nails during Spring and Summer because it matches the lovely colours of Spring and Summer and it blends and accents most looks (formal to casual looks) I try.

Missha's Crystal Nail Polish - SHOCKING POP NO.2/PINK

You can read my review on this nail polish here. I was always quite frustrated in using this nail polish because of the transparency of the nail polish (it can almost be considered clear)... but luckily, I found a solution... use it as a "top" the transparency makes it a perfect frost coating.

finished look (added Missha Crystal Nail Polish on top

The glitter and transparency gives off a perfect accent to the nail.

Don't forget to add top coat to seal everything together! For those Sailor Moon fans out there... I felt a little bit like Sailor Moon (when she transforms) when I removed my gloves :P that is how glittery they look!

Hope you like this simple nail tutorial! See you all very soon!
