Buy Sally Hansen HD Nail Color, Hi-Definition, Resolution 13

Customer Ratings:

I bought this at a knock-down price, and I'm glad I didn't pay the full amount.

Firstly; it's really thin. The advice says 2-3 coats, but I put on 5 and it still wasn't a "thick" colour. Each coat took at least 20 mins to dry, so I had to spend ages doing them!

Secondly; it wears really easily. I've only worn it for a day and the tips are wearing, even though I put a top coat on. After having spent most of the afternoon and evening putting the colour on, as well as making sure I didn't do ANYTHING to touch the nails, it's annoying that it's already worn off so I need to do them again.

Thirdly; I'm not sure what's so Hi-Definition about it. The colour is pretty normal, and without the top-coat on it lacked any shininess.

Overall; it's an okay colour, but it's way too much effort to go to when I have similar colours that take less effort and last for longer. It's the only one out of the Sally Hansen HD set that I've tried, but on this experience, I won't be bothering again!

Cheap Surgi-wax Assorted Maple Honey Wax Strips For Face Upper Lip, Chin

I have thick course black hair with sensitive skin. It's not easy to find a waxing program that doesn't completely ruin my skin. I do get my face fully waxed once a month at the local spa but I still need something to do touch-ups in-between sessions, especially around my mouth and chin. (EDIT 4/5/11 I no longer get my face waxed by a professional, because I can do a much better, and precise, job with these strips.)

After two weeks I've got embarrassing hair showing-up around my upper and lower lip. Surgi's Maple Honey Strips are so gentle on my face and super easy to use! There's nothing to mix or heat! I'm so happy I've found something I can easily and, most importantly, effectively use between professional sessions.

Make sure your skin is clean and free of any oil. Don't take a hot shower right before using this product otherwise it could irritate your skin.

Vigorously rub the strip between your hands, until they get hot, to get the wax warm, then apply the strip to the face and continue to rub the strip in the direction the hair grows. I usually rub my hands for 30-seconds and then rub it on my face for another 30-seconds.

Make sure the strip is securely attached to the skin and hair. If the strip is moving around that means you have some type of oil on your skin, the strip will not work correctly. I use a 12x mirror to help me see where I'm placing the strip and to help me navigate around my face. I want to verify I'm not going over an area twice.

When I'm ready to rip the strip from my face, I hold the skin extremely taut and pull in the OPPOSITE direction that the hair grows. This step is key! Hold the skin taut in one direction and pull the strip in the other direction, quickly. Also, when you pull the strip off your face, do so by pulling it closer to you rather than lifting up and away. When you pull the strip taut and low, you really get the most effective use of the strip.

Don't be scared, it's not going to hurt (that much). If you're pulling the surface area of your skin taut, you'll experience a lot less pain, especially if you do it in a quick-n-low motion.

Do not reuse strips on new areas. The used strip has dead skin cells and hair on it, gross (just look at a used strip in a magnified mirror). You want to apply a clean strip to the new area so you don't run the risk of embedding bacteria back into your skin.

Try not to re-wax any areas you just waxed. You've just pulled a layer of skin off your face and re-waxing an area over could possibly cause irritation. If you wax correctly the first time you won't have to go over the same area twice. Instead of re-waxing stray hairs just puck them out. They'll come out easier because you've already tried to wax them out. You've loosened the hair, so it will more than likely slide-out easily with good quality tweezers.

I use Neutrogena cleansing towelettes, in the purple night-calming packet because they don't have alcohol, to gently dab up the excess wax / hair off my face. Don't rub the towelette over the freshly waxed area because it could cause irritate to the skin, just gently dab. (EDIT 4/5/11 I now use Garnier's Nutri-Pure Oil-Free Detoxifying Wet Cleansing Towelettes.)

Afterward, to help further calm my face I use a HYDRATING mask to ease any redness. Hey, you've just ripped skin and hair off your face, you're going to get some type of irritation. The hydrating mask, don't use a clay mask because it will draw all the moisture from your face and possibly cause irritation, will rehydrate your skin with needed moisture.

I use Aveda's hydrating mask but you can find hydrating masks at the drugstore. Surgi includes a soothing gel. I like my hydrating mask better, because it's thick and I can feel it repairing the damage to my face. The hydrating mask makes my face feel comfortably warm with a gentle sensation. It has the same effect as aloe. I bet an aloe mask would work just as well.

Also, don't do anything for the rest of the day that's going to make your face sweat. The sweat will cause irritation, and possibly cause a rash or a whitehead outbreak. Don't take a hot shower right before or after you use the strips, that can cause irritation. Also, don't go out and lay in the sun afterward, that could cause irritation as well.

It's really best to wax before bed then your skin has time to recuperate. You want your skin to be in a state of calm before you use the strips. I feel that's when I get the best results. I leave the mask on overnight. The mask is absorbed by your skin so there's only a thin of residue in the morning.

If for some reason you have continued irritation, even after doing every correctly, apply some maximum strength Cortizone-10 to your skin. You can find that over the counter at the drugstore. That has aloe and medication. Why the irritation? Maybe your skin wasn't in a healthy state? If you have sun damage, don't wax. Don't wax pimples or existing rashes. Wax only healthy skin. Otherwise, you'll probably experience a negative reaction to your already damaged skin.

I'm probably much more cautious than most when waxing, but my skin is extremely sensitive. It's taken me a long time to figure out how to effectively remove hair from my face. It's an embarrassing distraction for a woman, to me, to have unattractive dark facial hair. These strips are a godsend to my sensitive skin!

Anyhow, take your time, it's worth it because you'll have a super smooth pretty face for weeks. Half a box will do my whole face, for me each box has two full applications. Happy waxing! :)

I have very sensitive skin and all other hair removal strips that I have used really sting and leave a rash. Not Surgi! I love the results and the ease in using them. No fuss, no muss and very effective. Only brand I use.

For my face, I have previously used regular waxing with strips or hard wax with good results. I decided to try this and see if it would be a bit simpler. I read all the instruction, made sure my skin was clean and got started. Warmed them, applied them, let them sit a minute and then.....yanked. Some hair was removed and some hair was left behind. For me more of the finer hair was removed and the tougher ones stayed put. Also there was a sticky residue left behind. In the end I had to finish up with the tweezers to get all the hair removed. For me this product was a bust.

Honest reviews on Surgi-wax Assorted Maple Honey Wax Strips For Face Upper Lip, Chin

These are the best wax strips I have ever used. The material is softer than the ones at the salon. I've tried Parissa wax and although they are okay, they can not compete with Surgi! Surgi takes off the most amount of hair while feeling that your skin is still in tact while you rip off the strip. :)

I think I've found a hair removal product that will work for me. These wax strips are very easy to use and inexpensive. They did a great job of removing almost all the hair where applied (very coarse hairs had to be tweezed). There was a little redness afterwards, but that has cleared up and I don't seem (8 hours later) to have any other side effects. This seems like an effective alternative to daily tweezing and very expensive salon waxing. Yay!

Discount Sally Hansen Lip Inflation, Extreme Clear, 0.22 Ounce

Customer Ratings:

This lipgloss is a tingly wonder. It provides lasting shine while offering a slight plumping action. The sensation is unusual at first but you get used to it and it is worth it fior the results you achieve.

This stuff is awesome. I put it on every morning, when I start my beauty routine and by the time I a ready to apply my lipstick, I simply wipe what is left off and my lips are super smooth and plump. It even makes my lips a little pinker. If I'm in a rush, I'll just swipe this on and head out the door. I keep meaning to post a before and after photo, because this stuff is amazing. The tube has also lasted a long time. Highly recommend.

Didn't really see much plumping, but use as a clear gloss instead. Was hoping for a fuller lip. Probably wouldn't purchase again.

There was no visible change in the fullness or plumpness of my lips. All I noticed was a very slight tingle.

I buy this occasionally and it is very useful in plumping up my lips. Some people find the 'tingly' sensation irritating but I actually like it because it feels like it's doing something. I think this gloss is best used alone rather than over lipstick as it has a tendency to disturb the color a bit. Also it could be more moisturizing. But overall it did work for me.

Best Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish, #140 Snow Globe Deals

Customer Ratings:

I purchased one bottle (same relative price) at CVS and just used over light blue polish. I first did 2 layers of Orly Pretty Ugly (a light blue shade), then 2 layers of OPI polish which was a sort of iridescent light blue, making my color lighter blue with mostly slight turqoise green iridescence. Then I did a a layer or so of Snow Globe. Snow Globe has little round glitter which reflects iridescent purpley pinks and light greens. Afterwards, the reason I did Peacekeeper's Luminous over the Snow Globe is that it has smaller silvery and irid. purpley pinks and lt. green sparkle which cover the whole nail, whereas Snow Globe is larger round glitter which does not necessarily cover the entire nail, but it does cover more of the entire nail than any other I have tried and you could probably do 2 or 3 layers without doing the sparkle that I added. I love the overall holographic sort of effect which I created with the irid lt. blue as well as the glitter. I welcome feedback. Also, so that you have an idea of the size of the globe glitter, if you put about 7 pieces one after another, it would equal about a quarter of an inch...I did that by eyeing the pieces in the bottle, so do not expect me to be exact.

Cheap 54 WATT ROYAL NAILS PROFESSIONAL UV LIGHT GEL AND ACRILIC NAIL

Customer Ratings:

I had a formal event that I had to attend unexpectedly, and my nails were NOT in good shape for it. I went to a nail salon that my friend recommended and got a set of gel nails. The nails looked great, and I was thrilled with the way mine were able to finally grow out with the extra strength the gel adds, but knew I would not keep them up at a cost of $40 every couple weeks.

I googled the name of the polish the salon used (Gelish), and saw the products were available online. I then started reading reviews for the UV lights, and this one had great reviews. I decided to pull the trigger and buy the lamp and gels and try them myself at home. I am NOT a nail tech, have absolutely no formal training, but am pretty handy at figuring things out. The lamp arrived, I watched a couple of youtube videos of how to apply the gels, and jumped in. I AM THRILLED WITH MY RESULTS!!!!!! This UV light is awesome!!!! It is big enough to fit both hands in at once, has several "timer" options for how long you want the light to run, and also has a fan you can turn on at the same time. It looks great, seems solidly made, and I kid you not, my nails looked just as good as when I left the salon my first time! I was so excited with how they looked that I had to go show my husband and teenage sons as well : )

A few things I'd point out, they might be obvious to a professional, but for the other newbies like me, here they are:

-The bottom of the dryer swings open for ease in inserting the bulbs and removing the blue film. I didn't realize this until after I inserted the first few bulbs, MUCH easier with it opened up!

-The instructions said to remove the blue film covering the mirror sides on the inside of the dryer. I emailed the seller (Blue Novelties)to see if this also meant the "floor" and "roof" of the dryer or just the sides, they responded right away and said to also remove it from the top and bottom mirrors.

-When using the foundation gel, I cured for 1 minute, that was enough

-When using the lighter color ("Glamour Queen"), I cured for 2 minutes; when I applied the darker shades ("Samuri", "Black Cherry Berry") I cured for 3 minutes.

-When I applied the shiny clear top coat, I cured 2 minutes.

-I used rubbing alcohol and a scrap of cotton fabric to remove the tackiness at the end, no need to purchase special lint free cloths or special tackiness remover. If you skip this step, your nails will not feel like they are cured, but they are!

-To remove the nails, I just used 100% acetone (drugstore brand), put it on a cut up cotton ball and held to my finger with Grafco finger cots I ordered from Amazon. This worked great, I didn't want to soak my fingers in the acetone as it seems it would dry the skin out that way.

-I did not use any special nail oils, just put lotion on my hands when I was done.

-At about 10-12 days the nails start to show the unpolished area where they are growing out. I just put a coat of regular nail polish close in color to the gel over the entire nail, and get an extra 5-7 days wear before I have to redo them. I'm redoing the nails about every 3 weeks this way.

I've now done 3 sets of the nails over the course of 9 weeks, and I am THRILLED that I bought this! No more trying to get an appointment that works with my schedule, and I've already saved enough to cover the purchase price. I can take the nails off one night while watching TV, and do a new set right away or the next night while watching another show. The lamp is quiet, looks great and works as promised. It may not be the cheapest lamp out there, but I truly believe you get what you pay for, and this light is worth every penny. It gives salon quality results for a fraction of the price, and it saves you a ton of time, because you can cure both hands at once between coats.

I'd highly recommend this UV Light, and definitely this seller. I always appreciate a quick reply to my questions if I'm not sure about how to use a product , and they replied right away. I'll try to post pictures of how my nails looked after doing this I FINALLY have nails that grow out, and without the big "ridge" that the old-style acrylic nails left when growing out!

I just received this dryer and have only used it one time. It did a great job of curing my shellaced nails. I used it with regular nail polish on my toes. Within an hour of finishing my toe nails, I put on socks and shoes. I was afraid that I would have the typical sock imprints on my toe nails, but that did not happen. The polish was dry! Also, be careful when you put your feet in the dryer make sure your feet are on the floor and slide them in without lifting them up. I bumped one of my toes against the top portion of the opening and had to reapply that polish.

I can't count the number of times that I've applied regular polish to my nails and ruined them hours later because the polish was not fully set. The Royal Nails dryer has eliminated that problem. Even if you don't buy this to cure the UV polishes, it works great for regular polish.

The product photos do not show the location for the operating controls. The timer and fan controls are just behind the starburst on the top of the dryer. The on/off switch is on the back side of the dryer. Also, the outside measurements of the dryer are 14" wide x 10" deep x 7" high. The lid is hinged and opens wide for the bulb installation. The timer settings (in seconds) are: 90, 120, 180, 240 and 300.

I shopped around for days trying to make my mind up about which dryer to buy. This dryer had the highest wattage for the best price. The quality of the dryer is good, too.

All in all, I am very happy with my purchase.

I was confused reading completely different 5star & 1star reviews... anyway, i bought it. I tried & came to conclusion that 1stars are correct: it doesn't dry the nails!!! but I researched & found out that me & all those who didn't write good reviews just don't know how to use it...

I'm putting 4 stars only because this lamp doesn't have instructions with it, which would make it perfect & everyone would be happy! because it has no instructions, many people use it in a wrong way & write bad reviews or return the product.

I will just give some instructions but u can search the web & youtube & find the right way to do shellac!!!

1. have clean nails.

2. put the base coat & put your fingers into the lamp with the regime 120-180 seconds.

IMPORTANT!!! don't touch your nails to make sure they are dry cause they are not & it's NORMAL!!! just CONTINUE with some patience!!!

3. put the color and again dry with UV lamp.

4. put another layer of color to have better results with rich color and dry again.

5. put the top coat & dry again.

and only now,

6. put some alcohol on a cotton and wipe your fingers to remove the sticky thing.

& only now

7. touch your fingers & enjoy them!!!

This light is convenient for doing both hands at the same time. However, I feel like you must leave your nails in longer than 2 minutes for them to harden.

If you are interested in saving a TON of money by not paying the through the roof prices for gel nails at the salon, then THIS is your ticket! I purchased this light last week, along with the start up "gelish" gel nail kit. The shipping was amazingly fast! There was virtually no set up, just peel off the protective liner, insert the six bulbs, plug it in and BAM, you are ready!!! The extra wide size and the high wattage were what attracted me to purchase this particular UV light. A good friend of mine works at a salon and recommended that I purchase a light with a 36 watt or higher wattage. For the money, this 54 watt light was the best deal out there!!! This friend was just over for dinner and when she saw the light she commented, "Wow, that's nicer than the one we use in our salon"!!!

It is light and easily stored in my cabinet when not in use. Takes about 1 minute to cure gel and shellac polishes. I would HIGHLY recommend this light!!! Within a week, I have recouped my money by doing friend's nails. It's fun, easy and you will save yourself and all your friends an enormous amount of money in those salons!!!
