Hive Of Beauty Luxury Nail Buffing Cream

Advantages: Beautiful, Acrylic Nails
Disadvantages: Cost

...are incredibly strong and can withstand many tough knocks. ~~ Good For Your Nails? ~~ As your nails are buffed with an electric file, the top of your own nail has a rough surface. Once the acrylic nails have been removed, the rough surface is exposed and your nails look really tatty. ~~ Get Them Off!! ~~ There are three ways of doing this that I have experienced. The first and only way that should be used, is to go back to the salon and ask for them to remove them for you. This costs about £5.00 and takes about forty minutes or longer. Then if you want a full set applied, you could end up being in here for just under two hours. The other way is to buy a bottle of acitone solution from any hair and beauty wholesaler. This is placed in a bowl at home and you sit there for about two hours while the acrylic goes soft. The third... Read review

Advantages: Leaves hands feeling soft and smooth.
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive than the average hand cream!

...Just before Christmas, I decided to go to my usual hair salon to get my nails done. I just wanted to look nice over Christmas, and felt like I really needed to make my hands look a bit more feminine. We were going to the pub for the Christmas meal with the rest of the family, I just wanted my husband to be really proud of being with a beautiful looking woman, not the girl I usually am... I wanted to look like I had bothered for once, just for him. So I booked an appointment and got my full set of nail extensions for... 50 quid ! But still, it was Christmas, so it was a bit like I had to. But I really got traumatised when the woman told me that I had to get infills (£20) every two weeks, and full set of nails every three months.... I thought... NO WAY !! So I came to the decision that I would fully enjoy the nails, and once Christmas... Read review
