Sally Hansen Thicken Up! Review

Luckily, I was blessed with thick, hard nails thanks to my mom. I never really had issues with my nails til about five months ago - when suddenly my nails were becoming brittle and would chip easily - especially the corners.

I went to my local drugstore in search of my loyal-nail-brand Sally Hansen. She has a gazzillion amount of nail products and I haven't found something from her that I dislike. Thicken Up! was no exception. It brought back life to my weak nails.

What is it?

A nail hardener treatment.

What is the texture like?

Thin-gel-like.

It's good to know that...

- It's rich in protein and retinol.

How do you use it?

- As a treatment: apply 1-2 coats to bare nails and re-apply ever 3-4 days. Remove all coats after seven days.

- Can also be worn as a base coat. 

Who would like this?

- Anyone with brittle nails.

My thoughts?

Love this. My nails are growing back healthy and thicker.

Sally Hansen Gel Cuticle Remover Review

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a nice, relaxing and lazy Sunday.

Sundays are usually my pampering days. I like to do everything myself - my nails, eyebrows, waxing (yes, I wax myself, brave, I know) I even cut my own ends when my hair is long enough. 

I discovered today a fantastic product that according to my mom, has been around for a long time. But honestly, I didn't pay much attention to my nails til last year. 

What is it?

Sally Hansen Gel Cuticle Remover is my nails' new best friend. I have a cuticle remover and I've never had trouble using it, but I know there are women who are scared to use them or would rather go to a salon to get them removed because they don't know how to use the tool. This little tube dissolves the cuticles in just two minutes.

What is the texture like?

Grainy, gel-like consistency.

It's good to know that...

- It doesn't sting and it's super effective.

- It smells a little funky. 

How do you use it?

Apply around cuticles evenly and let the product sit for 2-3 minutes. Using a cuticle pusher, push the cuticles away. I swear this gets rid of everything. Then wash away excess with warm, soapy water. 

Who would love this?

- Those who are afraid or don't know how to use a cuticle remover.

- Those who do their nails themselves.

Will I re-purchase this?

Yep! I love how clean my nails look afterwards.
