We all love to pick out new shades of nail polish but just like anything else in life, we have to tend to the basics as well, which is why a couple of weeks ago, I decided it was time to sort out my nail basics and tools to see what needs to be replaced and what's missing! I picked up a few things at a salon that I like and used them so here's the review:
OPI Base Coat - Of course it works in the salon, but I've had the worst problem forever... every time I base & top coat, I end up making a goopy mess of the nail situation! Not with this! This base coat is great and even with dark colors, it prevents nail staining! A must for fall if you're using blacks, maroons, deep reds or purples, etc.
OPI Top Coat - IT DRIES FAST!!! A bonus! Pink Julep loves it!!!
I also saw this nipper at the salon for 50% off and decided to try it out. Honestly, yes, I knicked myself a couple of times, but this tool is great!!! Mani/Pedi's on this island are super super expensive... think about $100 USD for one trip (and that's cheap!) to the mani/pedi salon... too pricey for regular visits! Yes there are cheaper places, but $25 CI, about $30 USD is the cheapest price I've seen for just a manicure and it's not in a desireable establishment. I'll do my own thank you very much and splurge for special occasions! Anyway, the point is, this nipper allows me to sort my cuticles and skin around the nails out on my own! I'm pretty sure I don't know how I ever lived without it before! And unlike previous nippers I've owned, it's not dull... it's good and sharp!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Here's to the start of another week! The time is flying so quickly!!!
xoxo,
Pink Julep!
