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!

House of Achi - First Impressions - Japanese Gel Polish

Hi ya Gorgeous!
How's your week going? Still hot here in Arizona - we've had one chilly day and it was thrill to wear boots finally!

So as my pedicures are going dormant til Spring and my toes are going into boots til Spring, I'm focusing on manicures for the holiday season.

I was just at the House of Achi product launch party in West Hollywood at the Doheny Room and received a sample of a buff beige colored Japanese gel polish. No light needed!



This video shows my first impression and experience with the polish - so if you have any tips for me, please share in the comments!

3 Questions with Kandee Johnson - House of Achi Launch

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday! Well do I have some thing for you today and it's a word of encouragement that you can take with you into the rest of this week! So get ready!

Last week I had to be in Los Angeles - and just happened at the last minute to get an invitation to the House of Achi product launch party. Thank you Lola for the invitation!

 
 Makeup University gets invited a lot and I never go - and like Ms Frizzle says "take chances, make mistakes, get messy" - so I did! I went to the party and I'm so glad I did. 

 Bites were provided by the Doheny Room and consisted of seared sea bass mini lettuce cups, chicken meat balls in marinara and a mini cheeseburger. Nom nom!

Cocktails were provided by Tyku Sake and Electric Sky wine.

 Their was a carnation wall for taking photos with the new style "photo booth" where it's a mirror like image with a camera in it and the whole surface is active so you can sign your name on the mirror and then it shows up on the photo.

 I thought it was going to be a traditional press junket set up for interviews though it was more run and gun guerilla style inside the club atmosphere. So, my apologies for the busy background noise and video that is not well lit. But - close your eyes and listen to the wisdom Kandee imparts to you! It's so good! If you are hurting right now or feeling discouraged, she has a word for you, just you!

 Enjoy the video!

Thanks for watching and if you haven't subscribed yet, would you please do so now - and ding the bell! Videos go up on Mondays and Wednesday - just for you!

I had the opportunity to interview Ms Johnson at the House of Achi product launch party in West Hollywood at the Doheny Room.

I asked her 3 questions - and these 3 questions I thought would benefit you! I asked her:
1) What 3 products are your must haves in a crazy busy schedule?
2) What's your experience with Achi Japanese gel polish?
3) What would you say to encourage someone who is watching and hurting right now?

She shared an amazing word for you - so please listen closely! You can more of her beautiful face and talent all of the interwebs by searching @KandeeJohnson or her YouTube channel here:
