When Julep asked if I would write a post about winterizing my nails, I decided that was a nod from the universe to get my hands in shape. They sent me this great tutorial for nail care:
I'm definitely going to look into getting some of that Vanish Cuticle Softener & Remover and Mighty Nail and Cuticle Serum. Maybe they'll help with the issues I have with the skin around my nails.
They also sent me a palette of pretty winter colors from their vast selection:
I like that there's a good variety of colors -- for people who like bold shades and those who like a more neutral look.
Here's what I used for my own home manicure:
Mary Kay Satin Hands Set (in a yummy pomegranate scent)
Seche Base
Sinful Colors in Mint Apple
OPI in GoldenEye
Seche Vite
I have been using my Satin Hands set a few times a week, and it definitely helps some. I just ran out of the vanilla brown sugar scent from last winter, but I'm loving this year's limited edition fragrance.
I had a hard time choosing a nail color. I thought about red or deep purple or maybe even a greyish blue. I ended up going with the mint color because I thought it was similar to their Kiki color. I topped it with the gold flecks because the holidays are all about sparkle.
What's your favorite shade of polish for the holidays?
Do you have any nail care tips?
I love Satin Hands! I also really love Hand Food. I feel like it's the only thing that helps lately with the dry weather. I typically go with grays or reds with sparkles this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI love Satin Hands too, but I haven't used it in a long time.
ReplyDeleteLove that nail color. And I want ALL THE JULEP COLORS.
Satin hands is pretty much the best thing ever. I was having a really hard time the last few weeks with cracking around my nails and lots of pain and dry skin. But I used the gel softener at night and every morning it got better and better :) Love that color on your nails, too!
