Cutex - Hand & Nail Cream - Nourishing This product is meant to soften you hands and increase the condition of your nails making them 50% stronger. It is meant to be 'easily absorbed' and 'non greasy'. This is the information given on the front of the container, a squeezy bottle type thing fashioned in blue, white and ...

How many of you girls out there (or boys out there) get their nails pampered and preened on a regular basis? Yes, I do too but now I do it myself. I've had nail extensions for about 4 years which I got in-filled (that's when they fill the growth for those who don't know) every 2 weeks at £20. That is well over £2000 I've ...

I have quite weak nails and although I can grow them to a resonable length they regularly snap, usually the day before I'm going somewhere. I need a supply of falsies for just these occasions, you know when nine beautifully manicured nails and one you've ripped off just won't do! And I have to persevere with the fiddly horrible tubes ...

Should always be wearing washing up gloves. Why? Because washing up liquid, just like the majority of household detergents, can be harsh on your skin, even if you’re not the sensitive type. Using very hot water also dehydrates the skin and can weaken your fingernails, so the gloves form a protective barrier. If you don’t use gloves ...

I grew up with Shield soap bars in the bathroom at home. We had Shield because my mother thought, in her infinite wisdom, that this was the brand, in her experience, which had the lowest tendency to end up as a pile of slimy mush on the side of the sink. Liquid soap was just one of those things that they had in the toilets at school, and in the ...

As an underpaid, overworked hairdressing apprentice in the 1960s working in a smart Knightsbridge beauty-salon there’s nothing I don’t know about hand cream. Standing at a back-wash basin, shampooing up to sixty heads a day, six days a week it isn't surprising that my poor hands suffered badly. We weren’t allowed to ...

I was going to a big family party recently and wanted to liven up my nails for the occasion. I enquired about nail art at my local Nail Bar but was advised that as I only have relatively short nails unless I had extensions first the nail art would not be very effective. As I could not afford to have the extensions I just had a manicure and gave ...

If in Winter you find that your nails become more brittle. Well, I do in winter for some odd reason my nails do break easily. So when I was rooting my Mum?s products I found Avon Nail Mender. I have been using this product for a month now and I have found that I can keep my nail long and that if they split then I know that they ...

Well, reading SusanLesley’s excellent opinion on Avon Glycerine Hand Cream with Silicone reminded me that I wanted to review this product too. Her opinion was a very positive one, whereas mine isn’t really. It just shows you how wide opinions can be, varying from one person to the next, so it’s a good idea to try it out ...

I was lucky enough to receive one or two nice Avon products from Father Christmas this year. Isn't he a thoughtful old gentleman? What do you mean he doesn't exist? Don't be silly I have the presents to prove it! Anyway be gone you non-believers for, amongst my Avon products, was a tube of Glycerine Hand Cream with Silicone. ...

In keeping with a theme, today's second opinion is also on hand cream.... Look in your granny's medicine cabinet or top drawer of her dresser and likely as not you'll come across a tub or tube of something made by Atrixo. Atrixo make hand creams - I can find no evidence of the making anything else and by all accounts they have ...

When it comes to choosing a nail polish remover, there's a whole range to choose from. You can pay a premium price for a designer label, or can stick to a Drugstore/Supermarket's own label. But don?t they all do the same thing? I only want my nail polish remover to take off my polish. Well, that's not quite true. I want it ...

I have been using this product for the last few weeks, and have to say it has great results. Botanics is a Boots brand. They have beauty care and make up by this brand in the shops, and I think it is pretty new out. I only picked this up because of a 3 for the price of 2 deal. Boots have launched a minature range of products from ...

Do you envy women with lovely hands? It’s suprising how your hands are noticed quickly by people that you meet. Hands that are beautifully cared for say you care about yourself and shapely and colorful nails make a statement about your fashion sense. I would recommend a regular manicure fortnightly. I know must most of us busy ladies do not ...

Since I have started back to work recently, I have become very aware of how much my nails need some attention. I keep snagging the corners of my nails on my tights and leaving those horrible little pull marks in them. On my way home from work tonight I called into Boots to get an emery board to file them down. I was actually ...

Lava - Heavy duty hand cleaner. For use after painting and decorating, or working on the car or in the garden. This handy product is from the makers of the famous WD-40, and I am pleased with the results. The paste-like green "gel" smells very pleasant and clean and the tiny little particles of ground pumice stone really ...

What an excellent creation. I never buy nail hardeners as they always snap my nails, funny that isn't it. I was down my mums last week and she had some out on the table, so I painted it onto one of my nails, my little nail was my biting nail when I was growing them and has gone all brittle and splits all the time so it will not grow. ...

I buy products from yves Rocher every now and again, they are always sending me special offers to tempt me with their wares. Sometimes I give in and buy products up to the value of £20, you can usually get a fair amount for this price as there is always a reduction in prices or buy one get one free. This handcream i bought called ...

Feeling at loggerheads with the world I decided it was time to treat myself. As I didn't really have time for a proper pamper(i.e long hot bath with lots of candles) I thought I'd sort out my fingernails. Hmmmm my nails were looking pretty worse for wear, chipped nailvarnish alert! I've perfected a wonderful manicure with ...

Sounds about right, doesn't it. The truth is that all women are basically the same (I'm going to be in trouble for that). You can see the similarities in the way they conduct themselves, the way their eyes light up when they see your credit card, the way they insist they CAN fit in the smaller size of dress - and the way they all, every ...
