Cuticle Care

Yay new post with pictures! Personally, I love hearing what cuticle products others use. Just me? Ok. Anyways, today I'll be showing you what I use to keep my cuticles in shape.


Lush Lemony Flutter- I LOVE this! I use it almost daily. The consistency is thick, but not too thick, and it smells pretty good. My cuticles immediately look better and are moisturized nicely. Lots of bloggers I've seen use this. It's a little pricey, but a little goes a VERY long way, trust me. If you do get this, you won't regret it!


Bath & Body Works lotion- I have a variety of lotions from here, this is just specifically the scent "First Bloom,"and it's what I've been using lately. I use these lotions just to moisturize my hands and to keep them looking neat. It does help my cuticles a lot. Bottles of lotion from BBW aren't too bad pricewise, most are about $8, I think. I love all the scents they come in!




True Blue Spa Hand Scrub- I use this about once or twice a week, whenever my hands and nails need extra care. This has a gritty texture to it that takes away tough spots and dead skin. It smells like pink grapefruit to me! I like using this occasionally, or whenever needed. This is available at BBW, as far as I know.


Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream- I use this daily. This is super portable, and smells nice. The formula isn't too creamy, but it's easy to apply. This is available at most drugstores, for I think about $5. I LOVE this for daily use! I keep it on my desk so I remember to use it.


CND Solar Oil- I use this daily also! I use this after swim practice in the shower, because my cuticles are BAD after that! I just rub it in. It smells like almonds, and is available at ULTA, as far as I know. A little pricey, but I think it's worth it.


Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover- I use this before almost every manicure. It's gentle, and easy to use. Leave on for about 15 seconds, then push cuticles back! This makes my nails look neater, and I like the formula. It's available at most drugstores, and is pretty cheap.

There you have it! All my cuticle/hand products. If you have any questions, comment below! I love hearing from you guys :) Thanks so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

Update

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry I haven't been posting! I have about 2 weeks left of school, so I've been preparing for final exams. Also, summer swim team started, which means....no natural nails for a little bit. That does mean, however, that I'll be posting on nail wheels and making a few tutorials! Stay tuned! Once again, I'm so sorry for not posting, but I will soon!

Pink & Yellow

Hello! Here is the post I was talking about earlier. My youth group (BBYO) chapter colors are pink and yellow, and our mascot is Hello Kitty. I wanted to do some festive nails, and here's what happened!

I used red, black, and white acrylic paint. For nail colors, I used China Glaze "Happy Go Lucky", a Sinful Colors pink, Essie "Blanc", and a glitter from the OPI Katy Perry collection, and I believe it was "Teenage Dream."


Sorry there aren't lots of pictures, I'm working on it! I hope you enjoyed!
(P.S.- This is my right hand. I'm left-handed, so you will rarely see my left hand!)

Welcome!

Hey everybody! I know that there's basically no one reading this, but that's ok! I'm Caroline, and I love nails. There's a lot of people on the internet that love nails, but I'm also only 13. That might be a bad thing to some, but to me, it's good! I have so much time to work on my nail skills. I'll be putting up an actual blog post with pictures later. but for now I'm gonna tell you a little bit about me! 

I'm 13, and I live in Michigan.

I'm a swimmer.

My nail love started in the 6th grade!

My favorite colors are orange and purple!

I follow way too many nail blogs!!!

So, that's a little bit about me. You'll know more eventually :) I hope you enjoyed reading, and I hope you like my blog!!

Caroline
