OPI Nail Envy Strengthener Review & Haul

Heys Guys,
This week I have a Haul of things I bought: some quite recently and some a few weeks ago. Also, there's gonna be a Review for O.P.I's Nail Envy Strengthener. So stick around till the end for the REVIEW.

So this is all the stuff I got recently.

So I got this plain White color from Essie.  Its was also re-released from their Summer collection.

Next is a Polish from Essie's Luxe Effects line.

Very shiny with fine gold glitter. Has a jelly-like consistency when applied.

4-in-1 Nail buffer from Target.

This is my second one since my first one got used up and worn.

Nail Stickers from the FaceShop

Can be used for French Tip manicures. A Korean brand.

REVIEW

This was the one I bought. The Nail Envy for Sensitive and Peeling Nails.

This has always been one of my problems. If I use nail polish for too long a period of time, my nails will start to peel and crack so I bought this to see if it could help.

First off, I LOVE IT. There are 6 different ones to meet different nail problems, Brittleness, Soft & thin nails, Dry, Cracking etc. But I find that this works the best for me. I love that it has all the nutrients and aloe vera etc in it and that it doesn't have the Big 3 chemicals in it.

It comes like this with instructions on how to use.

I followed the instructions EXACTLY and find that it really does work. I put it on for seven days and added  another coat as explained in instructions. Trust me, follow what it says and you will definately get results.

So this is what it looked like when I applied it on my nails.

and AFTER I removed it. I could see a difference. My nails felt harder and stronger. It did not leave my nails yellow at all and my nails did not peel like they usually do after I remove any sort of polish. In fact, I could even see that it reduced some Ridges on my nails! (The ugly horizontal ones) It doesn't remove the ridges but I could see an improvement.

Like all O.P.I polishes, it has the pro-wide brush which means you can use less coats of the product.

It picks up the polish very well and with one dip I could paint on 2 nails, one after the other.

All in all, I am very impressed with this product. For retail it's around $17 and I think it would be worth buying again. I saw an obvious difference in the health of my nails and I can find nothing bad about it really. 

Pros : Heals, Hardens, strengthens and improves sensitive & peeling nails.

Cons: none. 

I'm not saying this will work for everyone since people have different nail types, but for me, it worked wonders!

Thanks for reading. Comment and keep following for more updates!

I was not paid for this review. It is my own, honest opinion.

Essie Spring Collection 2012! / haul

Hey guys!
Im really excited to show you the polishes I just got. They are no other than *drumroll* Essie's NEW spring collection!! They are supposed to hit stores Feb 1. BUT I already have half of them! So Ill be showing you guys the colors I got plus some other miscellaneous stuff I got.

This is what I just purchased

Okay this is just a random topcoat I just got ^^ w/ sunblock in it! LOL

Just a normal clear color. Still haven't tried it yet though.

What it  does

This is NOT a newly released color but I really needed a light blue.

"Borrowed and Blue"

Okay now onto the new colors!! This is the whole collection but I only bought the top three.

This is the one from the top left. Such a pale pretty green. I already used this one to do my one of my friend's nails.

"Navigate Her"

Next up is the light coral-like pink. I'm probably going to use this for my new tutorial ^^

"A Crewed Interest"

This color might seem like "Lilacism" or "St. Lucia Lilac" but wait till you see the next pictures, 

This is one of my favorites so far.

In this lilac color there are tiny sparkles. Not many Essie colors have this.

"To Buy or Not to Buy"

Lastly, I bought some brushes. This one is a liner brush from Michael's.

Used to paint straight lines and to outline.

Size: 0 Liner

A short liner. Same use but on a smaller scale. Used for smaller details as well

Size: 10 Short Liner

and that's all!

Thnx for reading. Comment below and keep following for more updates!

Remember that the new collection will not be out till February 1!

Mash Haul

Hey Guys,
In this post i wanna show you some stuff I got about 1 month ago. All of it's from the brand 'Mash'. They have tons of stuff for nails. So go ahead and read :D

Shown above: Mash Nail File, Dried Flowers, and a Nail art tweezer.

Here we have the Tweezer in it's packaging. It came to me in the mail looking like this. 

The Tweezer with cap still on

When it's open:

The Nail file. Its supposed to be glass and I heard that unlike emery board nail files, this one prevents nails from splitting. So far it's working pretty well.

These are SUPPOSED to be for lifetime since it is glass (unless you crack it)

If you wanna know why it lasts that long, look it up.

But anyway, it files my nails VERY well, much faster than normal files.

BUT I have just one complaint. Around the middle of one side of the file, it has stopped 'working', Like the surface has become smooth all of a sudden T.T

Dried flower nail art in the case.

clearer view

Green with cap on

clear view. I will only be showing a few of these flowers since the're all the same except diff. colors.

Pink flowers

clearer view. These are REALLY fragile and as you can see on the left, one of the flowers has lost its petals already :(

And that's it!

Thnx for reading. Comment below and keep following for more updates!

Christmas Haul?

Hey Guys,
Anyway so its this time of year again, CHRISTMAS!!! So basically this post isn't really a 'haul' but just some nail polish I was gifted. So lets get started!

These are all the nail polishes I received.

First up, are these nail polishes from H&M. Really cute and small. Its something you would carry in your purse on the go.

Left to Right: Blue, Red, Black (those are the names)

It looks like this from the back.

Next up, We have Essie! I <3 Essie and this one comes in such a pretty pink color. It certainly stands out.

Called "Secret Stash". The only problem I have with it (besides not having tried it out yet) is that it says it comes with 15ml of product but the level of nail polish looks a little low from the top.

Second to last on the list is this nail polish you can buy from FaceShop. It unfortunately does not have a name.

Its a a metallic, shimmery purple, blue, and sky blue all together. It really reflects in the light, Can't wait to try it.

Last is the Sky Blue/Silver metallic color, its actually more blue than silver and Its also from FaceShop.

So shimmery....but I still have one complaint. This line of nail polish (brand) does not include the little silver balls usually put in polish to break up the product if it starts getting clumpy. Oh well, what can you do?

From Left to right: Strongest smelling Nail polish to the least strongest.
