Sally Hansen VitaSurge Growth Gel - 10 Day Results

I have used Sally Hansen VitaSurge Growth Gel for the past 10 days, twice a day. I received this from a friend in my nail mail on Monday, February 11th. This gel is supposed to have visible growth in just 5 days. It is very easy to apply and massage into each nail - bare or polished. It is green in the bottle but goes on clear. I have not cut my nails since the start of this product but I have filed them to keep them the right shape and prevent splits. Here are my pictures from day 1 and day 10.

Essence Colour & Go "LOL" - Review

This is a review for Essence Colour & Go in the shade 138 L.O.L. Which is a lime green. This is supposed to be a quick-drying polish. The color is true to the bottle. The polish has somewhat of an overpowering smell, but it is tolerable. The brush is wide for easy one-stroke coverage, but it doesn't help the polish go on smoothly, infact, it took three coats for the desired color coverage and all were incredibly streaky. The polish dried less streaky than it appeared to be when wet. The polish is fast-drying, but by the time you build up three coats, it easily smudges and is gooky. I did not use a top coat because it was already so thick. Overall I do not care much for this polish but it is very low-priced. When considering the cost you need to also consider the bottle only holds .27 oz/8 ml. You can compare this to Sinful Colors' .5 oz/15 ml bottles for the same price and a better product in my opinion. I would buy this product if they produced a color I really like or if they are the only ones with a specific color, otherwise I would not by Essence Colour & Go again. I hope this review was helpful to you!

Julep Review - Reveal Start

I'm starting a nail growth treatment with Julep's Reveal Nail Growth Revitalizing Serum. You can purchase this from Julep directly for $38 plus shipping or if you are a maven for $30.40 with free shipping! My nails are rather short since I just started trying to grow them. They are also very brittle and split/break easily.

The directions for this treatment say to apply to cuticle area, along sides of nail and behind tip of nail 1-2 times daily. You are to see results in 2 to 3 weeks. I like this treatment because it can be used over polish or on bare nails. It has no odor either.

This treatment is especially for nails that are weak, thin or prone to ridges.

I am posting my starting picture today so you can see how this treatment works for me.

Polish Review - Zoya "Storm"

Zoya "Storm" is from the Ornate Collection for Winter of 2012/2013. I picked this one up from Ulta for $8.00. This polish is a black with holographic glitters or 'crystals'. I absolutely love how smoothly Zoya polishes go on and this one was no exception! It's opaque with one coat plus another very light/half coat. There is hardly any odor from it either. "Storm" dried fairly quick and was top-coated with one coat of Orly Polishield. I think this polish was definitely worth the money! You can view or order this polish from zoya by clicking here.
