Hand care

My new favourite place to go to is Sallys. I love that they sell black hair products and have a wide range of nail products.
My recent purchases include Nina Ultra Pro top coat polish, Skin Truth hand lotion and OrigiNails Bubble White nail cleaner. I’ve not tried any of these products before but I was desperate for a new top coat polish and lotion.

I usually use the Sally Hansen top coat, but tried the. Nina Ultra Pro which is a lot cheaper – £3.98 and has a thick brush for easy application. The other bonus is that it’s fast drying and works just as well as the more expensive top coats.

The hand lotion I bought is an Orange blossom and Rosemary scent and has a light texture. I like this as it doesn’t feel greasy, but I do have to apply it quite regularly. This is probably more suited for the summer, but I’ll be looking for a thicker lotion that hydrates my skin more as we approach winter.

I’m keeping my nails clear at the moment and applying a Boots own Nail Growth Activator, so I’ll be posting a before and after shot in a few months to see if this works.

As I always wear nail polish I thought I’d try the Bubble White cleaner. This works just the same as adding bath salts to water and hence the name ‘bubble’ – it does just that. You place your hands in the warm water solution to soak for 5 minutes. I did actually notice a slight difference and my nails did look whiter. However, unless your nails are quite stained from polish, I don’t think a big difference is noticeable. However, a nice little ‘pick me up’ for your nails, and can also be used for your toenails.
