Nail Care Favourites

Hello Lovelies

I have mentioned before how I am reformed nail bitter. 6 months on I finally feel I have kicked the habit and I am loving having real nails. However, the battle still continued as I faced the nightmare of having very damaged nails. I have mentioned my miracle product before that literally saved my nails, but I felt the need to sing it's praises yet again and tell you about another product I have been loving.


I will get straight to the point..
This is amazing!
Yes In the U.k it may be hard to source if you are not willing to pay the £18 price tag that Boots sell it for.
I got mine on ebay around a year ago but I can honestly say with my hand on my heart that I would shell out the £18.
If you suffer from weak nails that refuse to grow then this is for YOU!
I apply this a couple of times a week and it is literally like miracle grow for your nails.
I had to stop using it at one point because my nails kept growing and I was tired of constantly having to file them down..and believe me when I say I never thought I would say this.
I have also noticed that since using this on a regular basis my nails have been so strong. I tend to trim them with nail clippers and the other day I noticed they were quite hard to cut through!

I must also mention I only drink Milk in Coffee and don't like other dairy products so my intake of calcium is rather limited.  If it wasn't for Opi Nail envy then I know my nails wouldn't be in the condition they are today so thank you Opi!

I have also discovered a new product that has made it's way into my everyday routine.


Basically this is an exfoliator for your hands and cuticles.
I apologise if this is stating the obvious for some of you but this is a new thing for me and I had never thought of doing it before!
My cuticles were pretty horrendous and I spotted this in superdrug for 99p! I snapped it up and have been using it everyday and not looked back.
This makes my hands so smooth and my cuticles are in much better shape.

The product looks like a normal exfoliator you may use on your body.
It is not abrasive and is soft enough to use daily but also effective enough to remove any dead skin.


To summarise, these products have totally changed my nails and I can now enjoy painting them with the numerous bottles of nail varnish that have patiently been waiting .

I hope you all had a lovely weekend,
For some reason I have become totally hooked on the Kardashians, so that is my Sunday evening sorted!

  3. You make me want to try Nail Envy again...I didn't really get on with it the last time I used it but it was just a mini so maybe I didn't stick with it long enough.

    Cuticle exfoliator sounds like something I need, mine are always really raggy!
