Why Every Woman Should Be Taking Hair, Skin, & Nails


After my hair had been repeatedly dried out and damaged from dying and highlighting it, I had no choice but to start fresh and cut 6 inches off. I was accustomed to my long hair and cutting it short felt so strange to me. My hair grows pretty fast naturally but I wanted to speed it up. I had heard of people taking Bitoin or Hair, Skin, & Nails but had never tried it. So I decided to give it a shot. 

Here are some things I noticed after taking Hair, Skin, & Nails everyday (I took the recommended serving size of 3 caplets): 

• My eyelashes became so much thicker and longer. 

• My usually brittle, peeling nails didn't grow faster but they definitely grew thicker. Thick enough that I could actually grow them out when I usually can't without breaking them. 

• On average, hair grows about 1/4 to 1/2 inch a month. My hair normally grows a half inch a month. My hair grew a full inch in a month (I know this because of the new growth since my last coloring). 

• My skin became completely clear. I don't usually have troubled skin but I do get the occasional breakout. I didn't breakout even once while taking Hair, Skin, & Nails. 

• I felt better. I don't normally take a multivitamin and while taking this, I felt healthier. Hair, Skin, and Nails is composed of vitamins like Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Folic Acid, Magnesium, Zinc, and others so it's not just good for beauty purposes but your overall health. 

I definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to grow their hair out faster, strengthen their nails, or clear up their skin.

Easy At-Home French Manicure!


I love having my nails done, and my favorite is the French Manicure. I do this the most because it is super easy and I like it better than just one solid color! 

Everything I used came from Walmart. 
•Sinful Colors in 376 Glass Pink ($1.99)
•Art Club in NA1 White ($1.99) 
•Just Like Gel Top Coat ($4.00) 

I painted the Just Like Gel Top Coat on first and let it dry for about ten minutes. Next, I used a piece of clear tape (I stuck it on a paper towel first so it wouldn't be too sticky and take off the top coat) to tape off where I wanted the white tip. I painted two coats of the Art Club white and removed the tape. I let that dry for about 5 minutes then painted on two layers of Sinful Colors in Glass Pink over everything. I finished it off by painting a layer of the Just Like Gel Top Coat. Viola!

Xoxo.

$9 DIY Gel Manicure!

I'm so excited! I love gel manicures. Gel isn't damaging to my nails and it keeps them strong so I can grow them out. The  only thing I don't like is paying $20-$40 every couple weeks to get then done. So, I decided to explore my options and this is what I came up with: 
They look and feel just like gel, they last weeks just like gel, they just don't cost as much as gel! I went to my local grocery store (everything came from Walmart) and paid around $9 for everything. 

I chose a lilac color (Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Lacey Lilac, $2.50) and a silver glitter polish for an accent nail (Pure Ice in Beware, $2.00). The most important polish is the Nail Aid "Just Like Gel Top Coat" ($4.00). This stuff is awesome. I paint it on first, do a layer of color polish, do another layer of the gel polish, one more layer of color, then do one more coat of gel (letting them dry in between coats). This makes my nails rock hard like gel and keeps my manicure lasting for weeks! 

You can do this with any polish in any color and you will get the same results. 

Obsessed.
