Jessica Nails Basecoats

Advantages: one for each nail condition, easy to use.

...Jessica Nails is a well known and recognised nail company in the industry. Jessica was recognised as 'The First Lady of Nails' and opened her first salon in 1969.

Review of Jessica Nail Strengthener

Jessica-Notorious nail colour

Advantages: great long lasting,vast array of colours
Disadvantages: price for some

...I'd never heard of Jessica Nail Products,up until about a year and a half ago. After hearing my mum bang on about how good a Clarins/Jessica pedicure was,I decided to book myself in for a 'luxury' pedicure. I've never been a person who goes for brands and generally tend to pick up whatever takes my fancy,not regarding whether its 50p or 5.00p! However when I'd had my pedicure done,I had the choice of the nail colour that I wanted and was amazed at the spectrum of colours available for my tootsies! There was literally everything,from bright blue,through to pink,to black. I've always liked dark,deep reds and the array was fantastic,every variation on deep red that you could imagine. The second time I went back,about 6 months later,there was a new range that they had ordered and one of the colours really stood out for me...

Review of Jessica Custom Nail Colour Notorious

'Hand & Nail Everyday Care Lotion'

Advantages: great fresh scent, moisturises, nourishes, softens, smoothens hands and strengthens nails
Disadvantages: Larger packs are more expensive but product does the job

...I like to carry a lotion or hand moisturiser in my hand bag to use on my hands when I am on the move or at work especially when I wash my hands after using the bathroom or if I notice my hands have gone dry after a few hours of typing away at my keyboard:) I use my hands a lot while working at the PC at the job so I like to have them moisturised and looked after though I suppose I'd do the same if I did not use them a lot at work; when I am home I like to take good care of them e.g. when I had to hand-wash my dishes before I had a dishwasher that allowed me the little plus of having no chipped nails for at least a couple of weeks or more... 'Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hand & Nail Lotion' is one of those products that I will often have in my bag or purse on the move. I buy the small 75ml pack that is also the handy size top...

Review of Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hand & Nail Lotion

Rich moisture leaves my hands soft and my nails strong and shiny!

Advantages: Low price, works well, smells good, lots of it
Disadvantages: There aren't any really

...Avon Care Rich Moisture Glycerine Hand and Nail Cream I bought this hand cream from Avon a few months ago and am a happy customer. As I am an Avon representative, some of you might know this if you have read any of my other reviews before, I get discounts on some of the products, and as this was one of them and I had never really tried a hand cream before I decided to give this one a go. I'm glad I did because since using this my hands seem softer and my nails are definitely stronger and more shiny. How do you use this? The hand and nail cream is so easy to use. All you have to do is rub a little bit into your hands. Don't wash them straight away after putting this on because you will wash off the cream and it won't be able to work. I use this about three times a week, I don't use it that much because I don't think I...

Review of Avon Care Rich Moisture Glycerine Hand & Nail Cream

Really helps your nails grow

Advantages: Great for maintaining healthy hands and nails
Disadvantages: none

...Do you suffer from dry hands and skin, or even dry split nails? well this is the product fro you. I have been using this vaseline intensive care hand and nail lotion, for the past year, and i have to say this is one of the best hand lotions on the market. I find it softens my hands with out leaving them feeling greasy, as soon as the lotion is absorbed your hands feel grease free and smooth. this product is also aimed for softening your cuticles and strengthening your nails. so it is ideal if you do your own at home manicures as the cuticles push back really easily. It strengthens your nails and prevents them from chipping, splitting and breaking, this really does help strengthen your nails. So if you are prone to dry brittle nails this will do the trick. This smells really nice to, i think is smells like babys, well...

Review of Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hand & Nail Lotion

Vaseline Intensive Care Hand and Nail Lotion

Advantages: Softens hands, smells nice, small handbag sized tube, cheap
Disadvantages: None really

...upright on it's lid, and the lid is sheer and a flip-top one so you can't lose it! There is the typical Vaseline Intensive Care navy log at the top, with navy writing. It isn't particularly stylish, but I'll overlook it because of the quality! This claims to 'soften hands and cuticles and strengthen nails'. It contains milk proteins and AHA (I don't have a clue what it stands for), which sounds impressive! You only need a small blob for both hands. You squeeze the tube to get the hand cream out, so it's easy enough to control the amount you're squirting out.It has a light, sweet, soapy fragrance to it, that isn't overpowering but is pleasant and won't clash with your perfume or body spray. It fades after a while anyway. The hand-cream is pink in colour and neither thin or thick, just right. It's light and easily absorbed. Some hand...

Review of Vaseline Hand & Nail Lotion

Treat your hands and nails.

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

...know have lovely talons which aren't brittle and are very strong, must be my good diet, I think not. But for whatever reason, I therefore can't comment on this creams ability to strengthen my nails. As for age spots, as I said earlier I thankfully haven't got them and hope not to have them until I'm too old to realise or even care. They just remind me of my great-grandma who didn't get them until in her 90s. Let's hope she had strong genes and that combined with regular use of this cream mine will be kept at bay! Clarins suggest that if you already have age spots and are exposed to sunny climates, (I wish, to the sun), you should use also use their Age-Control Hand Lotion during the day. ~ Price ~ At department stores such as John Lewis and House of Fraser this retails between £14 and £15 but if you shop around, as I do...

Review of Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream

hand and nail care from vaseline intensive care

Advantages: It works
Disadvantages: Cant think of any

...I started using Vaseline intensive care hand and nail a while ago because I had a hard time keeping my cuticles in good check. I use a hand cream every day to keep my hands and cuticles soft but hand cream is no good for softening your cuticles sufficiently so you can push them back and remove its ghost, you need a cuticle remover for this. I tried Vaseline intensive care hand and nail because it specifically said it softness hands and cuticles and I was pleasantly surprised that it actually done just that. Now whenever I need to push my cuticles back I use Vaseline intensive care hand and nail on the tips of all my fingers and then rub it in and use an orange stick to push the cuticle back and remove the ghost of the cuticle (the pterygium). The cream as well as softening your hands and cuticles strengthens your nails too...

Review of Vaseline Hand & Nail Lotion

Pretty Nails

Advantages: Good coverage, great colour choices
Disadvantages: A bit expensive!

...their products in Debenhams, House of Fraser, Harvey Nichols and Topshop to name just a few. They also specialise in nail products such as nail care products and treatments and have a very extensive range of nail varnishes which is what this review is now going to focus on. Again, according to a website I read on the product, "The extensive colour choice means nails inc has long been the choice for the fashion forward and is a regular at the London Fashion Week circuit. With over 20 mentions every month in magazines such as Vogue, Glamour, Hello, Elle, InStyle, Harper's Bazaar and Grazia, nails inc is renowned for having a colour to match any occasion." I must admit my decision to buy the magazine with the nail varnish in was firstly made because I thought the bottle looked really quite stylish and a bit more upmarket than other nail...

Review of Nails Inc Favourites

Nails Inc

Advantages: great on
Disadvantages: price

...Intro I first got this nail varnish a few months ago. It was free in Bliss magazine and I use it all of the time. It was a new brand to me so I don't know for sure when they were brought out. Packaging As most nail varnishes, this comes in a 10ml glass bottle with a silver metal screw top lid. This makes it look very professional and keen to the eye! These come in all different colours and I actually have 388 Piccadilly Circus which is a dark pink sort of colour. The Product With this nail varnish, I find that you have to do at least two coats which is not too bad. When you have done this, your nails look sexy, shiny and smooth. It doesn't chip very easily but it depends on what you are doing. I found that this has lasted quite a long time, but the older it gets, the more gloopy it gets. Price and Place I got mine from...
