Custom Nail Solutions (Review/Giveaway!!!)

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

heather c #1682!

When I was younger I had acrylic nails, I mean, who didn’t?? And, going to the nail place to get them filled was a hassle to say the least. Now that I am older and have kids? Ya, no more nails for me. My nails are lucky if they get filed, blah!

Hey, at least my nails are short and clean looking, I can definitely say that! But, I do have to say when I heard about Custom Nail Solutions I was intrigued, I mean really intrigued. Custom Nail Solutions was invented by a cosmetic dentist and is a patented, revolutionary, custom fit finger nail that is guaranteed to never break, chip, crack, change shape or stain and will last your lifetime! Okay, now I like the sounds of that! Don’t you??

Your nail beds are as unique to you as your finger prints, and Custom Nail Solutions makes nails that are made just for YOU. When a set of nails is created for you they will fit no one but you! I thought that was pretty dang cool

And, your custom fit nails are removable and reusable! You can paint them any color you like or leave them bare, it is up to you. When you are done painting them, just remove the nail polish with nail polish remover like you would your real nails. The nails come in french manicure or solid pink and come in 5 different lengths and three shapes.

I received the Custom Nail Solutions Impression Kit to make my nail impressions so that when I receive my fake nails, they will fit my nails perfectly! I really thought the whole process would be super time-consuming, but after you watch the dvd it comes with, explaining and showing you how to do everything, I felt more at ease. The process was super easy and making my nail impressions was fairly painless and took me about 25 minutes. My hubby took the kids while I did this so I could concentrate, I otherwise would have been way too distracted, but that is just me.

Worth Mentioning…

Also, if you lose a nail, Custom Nail Impressions keeps your nail impression information for all 10 of your nails in their computer system! All you need to do is contact the company and identify the number of your missing nail to order a nail replacement. I thought that was pretty cool! To find out more about Custom Nail Solutions nails, please check out their FAQ’s page!

My nail impressions kit came with the following:

10 finger trays
2 spoons
1 yellow impression material
1 white impression material
1 Instruction sheet
1 Instructional DVD
1 Product brochure
1 Order Sheet

I am done with my nail impressions, I now just have to send them back, via UPS. The kit includes a prepaid shipping label to send your nails back and the Custom Nail Solutions will create your unique nails designed just for you and send them back to you with the following items:

1 Set of Custom Nails
1 Bottle Soak Off
1 Soaking Dish
1 Nail Dehydrator

1 Nail Cleanser
1 Nail Brush
4 Pink Cuticle Sticks
1 Nail Stand with 10 Plastic Dowels
1 Application Instruction Sheet
1 Red Tint
1 Peach Tint
1 Plum Tint
Pink Maintenance Kit Bag

Since we had a loss in our family recently, last month was INSANE to say the least, so sending in my nail impressions did not happen when I thought it would. So, they will be shipped out on Friday and I cannot wait to get my custom nails!! Woot! I will update when they come in with pictures and everything!!

In The Mood Color Changing Nail Polish Review & Giveaway!!!

By Kim Delatorre ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Wendy R. #210!!

My fingers don’t usually have a mood. I mean I suppose they could be a bit slow and sluggish at times, especially when I am pluggin’ out these blog posts, but generally they don’t have a “mood” they get in.

But me on the other hand, ya, I get into “those” moods, like once a month, sometimes a bit more. And when I do, a cute polish that can tell others to LOOK OUT is just plain genius!

In this picture, we used Guilty…Me and my daughter are wearing the SAME polish!

I had to look into to these polishes before agreeing to review them, after all my nails would be showing whether or not I was in a good mood or not, by changing colors on me, so I HAD to research it a bit..

And after researching In The Mood Color Changing Nail Polish, I so wanted to try these out with my little girl! I received a few shades to try out. I painted my nails, toes and my daughters nails and toes. They come in some gorgeous colors, wow. My favorite is the Guilty color. but all of them are so dang pretty, they really are.

The color below is Ditzy…

What is neat about these polishes, is not just the colors, but how the colors change when you have them on your nails. They change color based on your body’s temperature, your mood or what you are holding (cup of coffee, iced tea, etc..). Since your normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees, the polish will change color when it is 91 degrees, your fingertips are always cooler than your hand.

For example: running your hands under warm/hot water, going outside in hot weather, or even mood changes, will cause the nail polish color to change. Cool right?!

All you do is apply two coats of the polish to your natural nails. Then apply a top coat for a nice glossy finish. You can use any topcoat or In The Mood’s topcoat: Super Shiny Topcoat.

Still not convinced? Then watch the video here:

Ya, told you! Now my thoughts on this mood changing nail polish. I love it! It goes on shiny and does dry matte, so if you do want shiny nails, definitely add a shiny top coat, like mentioned above. I personally love matte, so I am good! It takes while for my nail color to change because my fingers/hands are ALWAYS freezing, same with my feet. I think I have what my mom has, her fingers actually turn BLUE, she has bad circulation, and I *think* I will be inheriting that from her, if it is inheritable.. my finger nails are always purplish, the nails, so the nail polish does not work so well on me. As you can see in the picture above, with my nails and my daughters, her nail colored changed to blue, super quickly, mine did not. I still LOVE the color!!

One thing I have noticed is that these polishes do seem to chip or come off easily, so I do recommend the top coat!!!!

So, I really like these. They are totally neat and would be a very cool gift for anyone this holiday season, whether you stick them in a stocking or gift them under the tree, they are sure to make any tween, teen or mama happy! Did I mention they are ONLY $8 each?! Ya, they are!

A Quick Bit About Mood Polishes:

Welcome to the fun whimsical world of mood changing nail polish. Don’t worry – you’re not crazy, but your nail polish, on the other hand may be described as …..unstable. Finally, a nail polish that will reflect your inner hysteria. Amuse yourself by guessing what shade your nail polish will be at any given moment.

In The Mood has been featured in many publications, including Glamour, Instyle Magazine and Boston Herald.

Take advantage of our flat rate shipping special with only $7 shipping for up to 8 bottles and only $12 for up to 10 bottles. In The Mood, makes a great gift. We ship to the USA and Canada only.

Sunbelievable by OPI Product Review

By Kim Delatorre ·

I am sure you have all heard about OPI nail polish. Well, I recently had the chance to review some wonderful new colors from their Sunbelievable line! I received the “If the Fuchsia Fits” and the “I’m His Coral-friend” colors. They are so pretty! I normally do not like coral on me at all, but this was very pretty on my nails. Very summery. The fuscia was very fun too, and made my nails look alive!

Sunbelievable by OPI Nail Lacquers contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and each features the exclusive OPI ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application. So, if you are a busy Mommy or Woman, then this prowide brush will be appreciated! Quick application and quick to dry!

The line Sunbelievable by OPI has been only available since the beginning of June 2009 at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and Ulta, for $8.50 (US) suggested retail for each Nail Polish. So, brandnew stuff here, ladies!

These colors are fun, fresh and colorful for this wonderful season! They are playful yet casual and great for any Summer fun occasion! Great with your bikini or in your black strapless dress, you choose!

I really liked how quickly I could apply this nail polish, and how quickly it dried. With two busy babies at my feet 24/7, having things that I can do quickly and effortlessly are a MUST! Now, I can pamper myself a bit and not have to worry about how long it will take, because it takes no time at all! A Mommy must have!!!! Just because I am a Mommy does not mean I still can’t be a woman, right?!

Buy it!
