Review: Nails Redesigned

nailsredesigned.com

Hey y'all! Today on the blog I have some products that I reviewed from Nails Redesigned to share with you! I am always interested in trying new nail and hand care items and I definitely loved everything that I tried from Nails Redesigned. They sent me everything you see in the photo below:

Relaxing Foot Scrub, Limoncello Hand Scrub, Calm Your Tips Cuticle Oil in Limoncello,
3 Mani Bombs in Limoncello

I've been swatching a lot this week, so this package was right on time for me! My hands were in desperate need of some TLC. I started with one of the little floral shaped mani bombs to relax my hands a bit and give them some moisture back. They all came perfectly packaged and not broken or crumbly which was impressive!

After I used the mani bomb, I decided to use the Limoncello hand scrub. The ingredients are: Sea salt, almond oil, himalayan pink salt, and fragrance oil. Its pretty coarse but felt really nice on my hands. I can see how it might be a little rough if you rubbed your hands together too hard but if you're gentle, the result is very exfoliating while feeling nice and leaving your hands feeling rejuventated and smooth. 

I pushed my cuticles back as I normally would do during a mani and then applied the limoncello Calm Your Tips cuticle oil. This cuticle oil is different than any others that I own because it comes in a roller ball container vs. the usual doe foot applicator. I really loved the product - it was very moisturizing and set into the skin quickly but I did have a bit of trouble with getting the product to start coming out of the container. Now that I've gotten it started, it can leak a bit from behind the roller ball. Barring any issues I have with the packaging, I would absolutely purchase this product myself. I have used it countless times since receiving it. 

Calm Your Tips cuticle oil

The last product I reviewed is the relaxing foot scrub. The ingredients are: sea salt, almond oil, himalayan pink salt, and menthol crystals. This felt a bit more coarse than the hand scrub and was absolutely relaxing for my feet. I'll spare you the evidence because...feet but suffice to say that I spend so much time caring for my hands that my feet tend to get neglected and this definitely did the trick for them. As a mom, I feel like I never sit down, so it was a real treat to draw a bath, listen to some music, and scrub my feet down with the relaxing foot scrub.

I did a full review on my channel as well which includes me demoing these products. Click below to check it out! 

If you want to pick these products up, they're all available on the Nails Redesigned website as well as many other products and scents. The mani bombs retail for $2.50 each, the cuticle oil retails for $4 (mini) and $6.50 full size, the hand scrub retails for $6-$10 depending on scent and size, and the foot scrub retails for $10.

Which of these products would you try?

July Favorites!

Hey y'all! Today on the blog I am going to share all of my favorite nail things from the month of July! Ready? Me too! Lets get started. 

I'll start off with my four favorite manis from the month of July - in order my top favorite is definitely my Harry Potter inspired mani. I did a collab with some nail friends for Harry Potter's birthday. I have a separate post coming about the collab we did so make sure to check back! The other 3 are tied for second place. Haha, yeah, definitely can't chose my second third or fourth faves out of them. I feel like July was a good month for me, I pumped out a lot of manis and felt like my work was definitely getting cleaner and better overall! 

July Mani Faves 

My next favorite thing was favorite technique. July was the month of stamping for me! UberChic Beauty stamping plates and my Creative Shop Stamper have proven themselves incredibly addicting for this aggressive polisher. I couldn't stop this month - many of my manis were stamped and the majority of stamping I did came from images on the UberChic Beauty plates.

The next favorite sort of ties into the last and that's my favorite polish of the month. It relates because its a stamping polish! This month's go to polish that made it into multiple manis was M Polish Berry Best Friends. BBF is a group custom berry pink holo stamping polish that was available only to the members of the M Polish Lovers group on Facebook.  Not a member? No worries - you can find it HERE and request to join. My understanding is that there may be more customs in the future! 

Final favorite this month is my favorite cuticle oil. To be fair, this brand has been my favorite since I started using it BUT the scent is a new one to me in the last couple of months. The brand is Morning Star Nails and the scent is Calm. I really love the earthiness of this scent and love that the scent lingers just a bit on my skin even long after the oil has soaked in. If you haven't tried Morning Star Nails, I highly recommend it! 

That's it for July's favorites! One more month of super intense late summer here and then we can *hopefully* start looking forward to fall! What were your favorite nail items for the month of July? 

Thanks for reading!

Morning Star Nails nail and hand care product review!

Hey y'all!

Today on the blog, I have a review of some of the Morning Star Nails nail and hand care products to share with you. I won these items as a giveaway prize on Instagram recently and just received them today. 

I'm going to be honest and say that I was a little skeptical about trying to cuticle and nail bomb product because I've yet to find that "holy grail" cuticle oil or hand care product yet. I love the concept of an indie store that exclusively sells handmade hand care products but I wasn't sold on the idea. 

I. Am. Hooked. 

Let me show you what I received!

My goodies from the @morning.star.nails Instagram giveaway

I received some rose scented soap, sugar scrub, and nail bombs, some lilac cuticle oil, some rose cuticle oil, and some chamomile cuticle balm. I needed to give myself a manicure today anyway so I set out to use a handful of these products. I started with the nail bomb (like a mani bomb without the trademark ;)  ) - holy wow! It was so fizzy and smelled so good - like real roses. All of the Morning Star Nails products are all natural and made with essential oils so they smell exactly like the real thing. After relaxing my hands, nails, and skin with my nail bomb, I used the rose sugar scrub to exfoliate my hands. It felt so good and left my hands very moisturized. My hands were a tad itchy afterwards but I don't think that was the fault of this particular sugar scrub as all scrubs and exfoliators do that to my skin. Once my hands were dry, I moved on to what I'm going to call the star of the show, and my favorite Morning Star Nails product - the cuticle oil. After my mani, I painted as normal and then applied the rose scent. I was so pleasantly surprised that the scent was present but not overpowering or fake. I felt like I was putting real roses on my hands. Haha. It went on smoothly and in a thick layer but absorbed quickly and left my cuticles feeling very moisturized. Typically when I put balms and oils on my hands, I have to wait for what feels like forever for it to soak in so I can photograph my mani for Instagram but this particular oil soaked in so quickly! I am very pleased. 

Today's mani with my Morning Star Nails cuticle oil 

I am surprised to say that I may have very well found my holy grail of nail and hand care products. I never thought I would see the day! I am so glad I entered this giveaway and won these fabulous products.

What is your holy grail cuticle oil? Do you have a favorite scent?

Thanks for reading!
Love,
Pish xoxo
