Review of Sally Hansen Gem Crush - Razzle Dazzler
I SEEN THIS ON MY COWORKER AND I LOVED IT! SO I DECIDED TO GET IT I WORE IT FOR MY FRIENDS WEDDING IT WAS PERFECT ENOUGH DAZZLE!! IT WAS PERFECT FOR THE NIGHT!This is a beautiful nail polish. It is basically a clear base that is packed with pink microglitter and a little bit larger chunks of silver glitter. This color is hands down my favorite out of the jem crush line. It is the perfect girly pink sparkle. The formulation of this polish tends to vary based on color. In this particular color, the polish is thicker and provides perfect full coverage with two coats. It dries really quickly. The only downside is that it does tend to chip and peel off quite easily. Even applying a top coat does not seem to effect the wear, it just does not stay on as well as I would like. Overall though, I really like this polish. It is much less expensive than similar glitters that I have seen, so I am willing to deal with reapplying.
Reviews of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails HARD AS WRAPS #2780-21 Rosewood Frost
I bought this because it looked like a nice color, but it's so much lighter than it looks. It's title is "Rosewood" but it's much lighter than the name implies. I do like the "frost" part of it. And I will definitely use both bottles that I bought. But in the future I will buy a different shade.The service was great but the product not-so-much. Seemed old but it wasn't worth the cost of sending back the product. The postage too high for the product.

Review of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear, Gunmetal, 0.4 Fluid Ounce

List Price: $2.82

Today's Bonus: 7% Off

I have tried almost every brand of nail polish out there, including OPI that everyone seems so fond of. I remember spending nearly forty dollars on OPI and the bottles dried out within a week and every time I painted my nails, it would all chip off within a day or two. I do a lot of art and organizing, so it is essential that I have a nailpolish that is remotely heavy duty. This is the best one that I was able to find. Not only is Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear line very affordable, it offers a wide array of colors that makes it appealing to the masses.
I currently use the black and the gunmetal as pictured on Amazon. I am very satisfied with the amount of time I can keep these on without chipping. I would say, if you take good care, these will last a week without being disturbed. Occasionally you may need a touch up, but these last long and for a price you truly can't beat. With a topcoat this can last even longer, but I just don't have the time or the energy to apply one.
Mostly all pros with this. They start getting drier and less liquidy after a few months, but add a few drops of nailpolish remover and it should be as good as new. The only real con is the drying time. I always apply two coats because it lasts longer that way and the nailpolish is much more visible. It takes about two or three hours to permanently dry. Sally Hansen does also sell a topcoat that dries the polish instantly, but I have not really felt the need to go that far into my manicure. If you have a lazy afternoon in front of the TV or computer, these are great. What's even better is that the excess comes off with water. You don't have to spend a long time scrubbing with a q-tip and nailpolish remover what didn't come off the first time.

This is a really pretty nail polish. I wore it to homecoming twice, because it happened to match both a blue dress I wore, and a grey one. The polish wears really well, and doesn't come off or chip for quite a while. There is a price to pay however; it takes a very long time to dry. The dry time wouldn't be a big deal, but you need 2-4 coats to look good(depending on the thickness of your coats). So it's definatly not one of my top favorite polishes, but that's okay because it's still pretty ;)Best Deals for Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear, Gunmetal, 0.4 Fluid Ounce

I ordered these because i heard unpleasant things about light under which one places her hands during a el manicure and came upon this while browsing Amazon. They are elbow length comfortable gloves with the tips open for a gel manicure. They worked great and I felt better wearing something over my hands and arms. I recommend if you are dubious about gel UV light. Good quality and shipped right away. Will probably buy for gifts for my friends who do gel manicures.

Product does the job of protecting hands from UV lights. My hands are on the larger side with long fingers so they don't fit properly but they still do the trick.Best Deals for ROYAL NAILS ANTI UV GLOVES FOR UV LIGHT/LAMP NAIL DRYER ONLY NAIL
I love my Shellac manicures but was really worried about all the negative news about UV exposure. I looked for something like these gloves online and found the Royal gloves. The salon where I get these manicures reassures its clients that the UV exposure is minimal and safe, but I'm happy to wear this protection. The skin on my hands had become leathery dry after a few months of the light exposure and since I started using the gloves, my skin is back to normal. The gloves get pretty warm when under the lights so I know they're protecting my skin. I hightly recommend this product!Honest reviews on ROYAL NAILS ANTI UV GLOVES FOR UV LIGHT/LAMP NAIL DRYER ONLY NAIL
Folks, get a $2 pair of rubber gloves that fit you perfectly. Cut off the tips like this and you have perfect UV protection! They don't get too hot.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for ROYAL NAILS ANTI UV GLOVES FOR UV LIGHT/LAMP NAIL DRYER ONLY NAIL
I don't have large hands, but these gloves were way too small and have no stretchiness. One ripped when I tried to put it on, so now I can't use them or return them.Reviews of Sally Hansen Salon Effects, Teal with It, 16 Count, 2 Ea
I have enjoyed using the Sally Hansen Salon Effects for about a month. The Teal With It is my 3rd experience. First thing that struck me about the color is that it is much darker than depicted in the picture provided here. However, since it's already here, and a hassle to arrange return, I decided to put the strips on.
I'm thinking that this product has been on the shelf for some time, as many of the strips were too dry to put on. Even ones I have on now show early signs of peeling right off. I plan on calling Sally Hansen in the morning and get a replacement or refund.
I kind of like that color now that it's on, but just want to get it out there, that it's significantly more dark than you are expecting.
I personally found it more of a challenge to get these on not only because they were not sticking, but also because you can see every little error you make due it being a solid color. I think I will stick to designs. Overall, I spent about an hour working with these and with the designs, so far, the time has been more like 20-30 minutes.

Sally Hansen Just Feet Shea Butter & Tea Tree Oil Dry Heel Balm 3 Reviews
I have used this product, with the Tea Tree Oil in it, for years and it is amazing; nothing has worked this well including expensive prescriptions (which do NOT work on this inherited skin problem on the heels!). Only problem, Sally Hansen keeps changing the packaging so it is hard to find, or not the same product read the label, look for "Tea Tree oil" in the ingredients; that's key. The accoutrements, heel wrap, etc. are worthless; the product itself is wonderful.

I have been waxing for years, and it does take years to realllllly get down the art of waxing yourself. I have tried a large number of waxes.....from cold to hot, and have found that Nair Microwavable Wax, is a complete package with everything you need to perform the job. It heats up the easiest, cools down the slowest, takes the most hair off, and being water soluble is the easiest to get rid of that sticky feeling you are left with after waxing, as well as being able to get it off of anything you may drip it on......oh, and it smells yummy !! I was lost, trying to find it in stores (and I am down to two boxes of it, I had found on sale years ago and luckily bought about 7 of them !!)....before I ran out and didnt have any to use, I checked here, and not only found it, but at a FANTASTIC price. They are $10.50 plus s/h for one box on the Nair website, and here I paid about $15 for two boxes, with free shipping, having it sent regularly. The good part about waxing, is that it comes back thinner (having to reform and push through your skin) and lighter in colour, and you will find lovely bald spots where there will never be another hair again woohoo !! My armpits have a thin little line down the middle of them, and it continues to get smaller. Girls out there that found this product didnt work for them, needed to keep on doing it. You will find, for all intents and purposes, that it is not the product, but the user of the product, that cant make this stuff work. It literally took me a few years to be good at it, and many years to start learning little tricks and ways of pulling the skin to assist in the release of the hair, as well as which consistency works best for the specific area you are waxing. You will find that you use far less ripping sheets, as you get better at the job, and will be left with leftover sheets for your next box (I used to have to buy extras, but if that happens, dont be alarmed, just know that as your "talent" increases, the ripping sheets will decrease). I love this wax, and will continue to have it delivered, until I no longer have hair anywhere that I dont want it !! :-)
-smells amazing
-heats up quickly
-comes with TONS of strips
-sugar based wax so water soluble
-easy to use esp. for beginners
Cons:
-stiffens quickly even though still hot (will need to reheat)
-doesn't get out coarser hair
Overall I would say that this product decently works. I'm a beginning self-waxer and this was easy to navigate with no mess. I only had 1 minor issue with this wax (which I kind of anticipated but wanted to try this anyway). Because it is sugar based I didn't feel like it harden enough to really "trap" coarse hair. I have a small amount stubborn, thick hair and none of it really came off. If you have coarser hair I would recommend using a harder wax than any of the sugar or honey varieties.
The product works wonderfully on normal hair. And I love that it is water soluble. It makes for effortless clean up on your body (sticky fingers included) and on any hardware spills. Also if you need more strips (which is doubtful because they give you more than enough) you can just wash out the used ones and air dry them.

I have tried so many different hair removal products and devices and this is the best! It removes all the hair the first time and washes up with plain water. No Mess! It comes with alot of cloths and I just throw each one in a bowl of water as I use them and then they just rinse clean and can be reused. I also had alot less pain with this stuff because it doesn't grab your skin at all, just the hair.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Nair Hair Removal Kit, Microwave Wax for Legs, Body, and Bikini
I was very excited to order this product. I read the directions carefully and tried several times, but it did not remove one hair. I was explained by my daughter that Nair products seem to work for people with fine hair but not for women w/coarse hair. I guess my italian decent is to blame. Do not waste your dollars if you know you have this hair type. What's a real bummer is that I had to buy the double pack. I hope this review saves someone the disappointment and the money!
