Holiday Beauty Shopping: Piggy Paint SOPHi nail polishes for natural nails long lasting diy manicures

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

 

Happy October - half way through it! What did I tell you? What, did I tell you? The time flies so fast! 

Today I have a video demo review of a natural nail polish from Piggy Paint in SOPHi.

Watch the demo and test then please check back in a few days as I update how the manicure has held up.

 

 

More importantly, if you have a beauty lover in the family who likes doing nails, the time to start buying your gifts was weeks ago. It's like the saying about planting trees "the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is today". In the current state of things being 2020 weird in 2021, buy your gifts now. So many news stations are talking about supply chains and supply shortages and there is no time better than the present to take care of business.

 

For your Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa shopping - think Piggy Paint SOPHi!

 

This video is a live demonstration of the Piggy Paint Sophi natural non toxic nail polish that says it will last on a natural nail - similar - to a gel manicure. Personally - I love a long lasting gel or dip powder manicure. 

 

But! 

 

I do not like the time involved or cost. In my experience, the gel and dip powder manicures take time to apply, and I have to go back to the nail salon to have it removed - and I pay both times. Yes, those manicures on natural nails last for weeks. 

 

 

 

This product, the duo set of primer/top coat and color are promised to last on a natural nail when you cure it with the heat of a blow dryer. I have painted one hand, the left, with the blow dryer heat and you will see that in the video. 

 

 

My right hand, is painted with OUT the heat. It's October 13 - I have high hopes that this manicure on both hands will make it to Sunday October 17th without any chipping or wear. If that happens, I"m sold! I think if you are a home diy manicure person, in general, you will love this product for it's commitment to non-toxic polish. As a person who has short patience for a desire to have pretty nail.  This product is made in the USA.

 

I'm waiting to see what happens. Don't wait for me to share - do your own test on the product using this link to Amazon prime: https://amzn.to/3FJEZma (*affiliate link*) 

 

 Let me know your experience with this product and thoughts on the colors and wear!

NYE Nails: How To Get Fab and Beautiful Nails for New Year's Eve - AT HOME

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Happy Boxing Day!  I don't really know what that is - but - my good friend, from England, says it's the best day ever! She also, gifted me "It's A Wrap" nail polish strips from Color Street for Christmas.

 

 

 Oh so easy and oh so cute! Here in California, everything is still in lockdown.  There is no going to the hair salon or nail salon, only the Walmart or Home Depot. No, the nail salon inside Walmart is not open in my town. Sad. 

Normally I would spend a lot in December on salon visits for hair, nails, spa facials and then some - but - with the shut down, zip!

So how do you get party ready when you can't go out?  My gal pals, Deborah and Trinity made it really, really easy and affordable with these nail polish strips that you simply adhere to your nail. Done. Boom. No waiting! No mess! Nothin' but good looking shiny fancy nails for New Year's Eve!

You can get yours now in so many fun colors with crazy patterns or simple, basic solid shades. There is something for everybody. 

Get started easily with this link :  https://www.colorstreet.com/NailswithTrinity/products

So what are your plans for NYE?

China Glaze nail polish: what do you think?

So here it is the weekend, the Labor day weekend and if you are traveling I pray grace grace to you! I am saving my travel for next weekend so in the meantime I am relaxing while Mancub mows the lawn.

I have recently begun training for my first triathlon race and I so enjoy reading this magazine. It's a local Arizona fitness magazine called Sweat that is so full of sporty things to do.

If you and your family need some outdoorsy activities this is a good source for physical recreation. Yes, I am aware of how hot it is outside! It's still hot enough that I am sweating getting dressed to go run and the pool is as warm as a bath! Though I'm looking forward to my first sprint triathlon in November...or so I am planning!

Okay, onto the nail polish by China Glaze. I have seen this brand in the pedi place I go to and they usually have fun colors. The ones that showed up for testing are:

Foxy, Ingrid (which is on my left hand) and Emerald Fitzgerald which is on my right.

I applied two coats and the color is deep and vibrant. I doubt on me that it will get much of a chance to show durability, wear and chip resistance because I let me nails grow for this story and have been itchin' to cut them off as soon as possible.
I'm more of a pedicure person than a manicure because I type so much! If I am not rippin' 100 wpm on the keyboard then I am hands deep with Mister Mancub-oh and if not with him then I am doing makeup and my fingers are around someone's eyes so I don't wear polish in case a client is sensitive.

Alas, I tried these, liked 'em and you can too! Find out more at www.chinaglaze.com

See you out there...running...swimming...biking!
