Black Friday indie nail polish sales

Here are a list of black friday salessss!

Anne Kathleen Giblet collection

Provided for review.

All 4 are cruelty-free and vegan. The giblet collection releases on November 28. All polishes dry to a satin finish, which was nice for me but for glossed look I added top coat as pictured.

Sana is a dark brown polish with a scattered holographic fine gold. This was almost a one coater polish. The formula in this polish is very smooth, not to thin, not to thick. It literally looks like milk chocolate.

Lauda is a medium tan-gold shimmery polish with a scattered holographic fine gold. This gold colored polish with holo gold fine glitter was super sparkly and easy too apply. I used two coats.

Macro of oksana.

Oksana is a medium brown polish with a scattered holographic fine gold. This smooth caramel brown was easy to apply. 

Thana

Thana is a glitter topper chock-full of extremely fine gold holographic pigments that mimic glitter. I was able to use this lovely as a full coverage stand alone glitter polish in just two coats. If used over a base color this would be gorgeous as a glitter topper, planning to try it over a black base.

I loved this ombre holo collection. If you wear them together you can create an ombre look with these four polishes. 

I also feel this would be great for a scaled gradient mani! 

Doctor lacquer

Gifted by indie.

This crelly bomb lacked no glitter, it was exploding with glitter. It was very sheer in two coats I over did it with three causing the glitter top be lumpy, best in two coats maybe with a white base under for a more opaque look. Top picture is matte bottom has a gloss top coat

Doctor lacquer

Gifted from angelyn

Malicious pleasure mattified looks completely different.

This pale pink holo is a great polish for those days where you dont want your polish to be loud, weddings, showers , interviews I think this is a great pick

How pretty is that, up close & personal. I just loved this color

My Dream Polish Gem Glam

Provided for review.

The lovely Vanessa sent me a mini Gem glam top coat with their fall scent Honey Almond.

Ive been using this for I want to say around 2months on various swatches I've done. 

Pro: if you love jergens cherry almond you will love it!

Con: if you dont like the almond dent, try the unscented instead.

Gem glam does provide a nice shine and is great on dry time. You will smell the honey almond as your polishing it on but it will be stronger once its dry. The scent will nicely fade as the days pass and it will become lighter. Especially if you wash your hands a lot like me. Lol.

I do recommend gem glam top coat. I like the fact that this is scented and definitely not your average scent ;).

Polished for days

Blogger kit.

I absolutely in love with this jelly crushing on orange. Opaque in three thin coats.

"Weekend getaway" by @lashesfordaysblog Im so glad to have gotten my little claws on these. (I had a chip in my nail, which led to this shape. Lol. Im super on love with this gorgeous jelly color. Definitely going on my favorites list.  Top coat used is from @mydreampolish "gem glam" almond scent.  Pic taken in sunlight, clean up done with @joliepolish

Nail care

Found this, it's a great share

Nail Care

We noticed that many customers complain about their nails, they don’t grow! Or.. they are yellowish! Or… they chip too easily. Well if you want strong healthy looking nails you have to take care from the inside out, first your diet has to be rich in Vitamins A, B-Complex, C, D, E and iron, calcium, zinc, sulfur, and fatty acids. Second thing to do is soak your nails in many substances that will help you grow your nails nice healthy and long.

Nail Soaks

1- Stain Remover Soak
If you have yellowish or stained nails then apply Hydrogen Peroxide to cotton balls then let sit on the nail beds for 3-5 minutes or until stains are removed. Rinse well, and then apply good cuticle oil. Hydrogen peroxide can be drying so please do not use this method more than once per week.
2- Whitener Soak
Mix 4 tbsp of lemon juice and 3 tbsp of water in a glass or ceramic bowl. Soak your nails for 10 - 15 minutes or until the stains are removed. Rinse well, and then apply good cuticle oil. Lemon juice is great natural bleach for getting yellow stains out!

3- Weak Brittle Soak
Mix 2 egg yolks with ¼ cup of milk and 1 tbsp of honey. Soak your nails for 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse well, and then apply good cuticle oil. Protein from the eggs and calcium from the milk will make those nails hard as rocks!
4- Peeling nails Soak
Soak your nails in ½ a cup of garlic oil for 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse well, and then apply good cuticle oil. Use this nail soak twice a week for strong nails

Strengthening Nail Soaks
1- Iodine Soak
Iodine cures brittle and weak finger nails. It makes the fingernails hard, chip proof and unbreakable. Dip your fingernails in colorless iodine once a day for 1 week; then once every 2 weeks; then once a month. It dries almost instantly. It begins hardening the nails under the cuticle and as the nail grows out it stays hard and unbreakable.

2- Egg Soak
Mix 2 egg yolks with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Soak your nails for 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse well, and then apply good cuticle oil. Use this nail soak twice a week for strong nails.
3- Milk Soak
Soak your nails in milk for 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse well, and then apply good cuticle oil. Use this nail soak twice a week for strong nails

4- Vinegar Soak
Soak your nails in ½ a cup of apple vinegar and 2 tbsp of olive oil for 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse well, and then apply good cuticle oil. Use this nail soak twice a week for strong nails

5- Honey, Eggs and Milk Soak
Mix 1 tbsp of honey with 2 beaten egg yolks and finally ¼ cup of milk. Soak your nails in the mixture for 10 - 15 minutes; wash your hands with warm water. The different antioxidant agents will heal the damages and provide the nails with the perfect care. The calcium from the milk as well as the protein from the eggs will strengthen the nails making them resistant to any deterioration.

6- Salt, Castor & Wheat germ Oils Soak
Mix 2 tsp of salt with 2 tsp of castor oil and finally 1 tsp of wheat germ oil. Pour into a bottle and shake well before each use. Rub a small amount of the mixture on your nails. Leave it on for 3 - 5 minutes then wipe it off. Store in a cool dark place. Use daily.

Faster Growing Nail Soaks
1- Orange Soak
Soak the nails for at least 10 - 15 minutes, then rinse. Orange juice contains folic acid which is great for hair and nail growth.

2- Tomato Juice (Biotin) Soak
Mix 2 tbsp of olive oil with ½ cup of tomato juice. Soak the nails for at least 10 - 15 minutes, then rinse. Recommended twice a week. Tomatoes are excellent sources of biotin, which has been known to promote hair and nail growth.

3- Olive Oil Soak
Soak in extra virgin olive oil 10-15 minutes a day, for a month. Then twice a week thereafter. This will help to fortify damaged, weak or peeling nails.

4- Honey, Coconut Oil and Rosemary Oil Soak
Mix ¼ a cup of organic honey with ¼ cup of coconut oil and add 4 drops of essential rosemary oil. Warm up in the microwave for 20 seconds. Soak your nails for 15 minutes then rinse in warm water. Repeat twice a week.

Extra Nail strengthening tips

•Always file the nails in a single direction as the back and forth movement of the filer can lead to nail damage.
•Before filing, make sure that the nails are dry. Wet nails are more likely to get split on filing.
•If the nails have not grown properly, do not file them. File only when the tip of the nail had grown a quarter inch from the nail bed (skin beneath the nail plate).
•To prevent nail breakage, shape your nails in squares or ovals.
•Once you are done with filing your nails, it's important to wash and moisturize them well.
•Rub Castor oil into nails & cuticles every night before bed to reduce cracking & breaking

Hope you benefit from these easy yet proven soaks
