Other Hand and Nail Care Reviews

Not being one to pass up a good offer, when I saw a 65ml bottle of Palmolive Antibacterial Instant hand cleanser for 65pence in my local Boots Chemists, I just had to try this stuff out! Now, seeing as I'm training to be a nurse, we use stuff like this quite often (I know it as "Spirigel") and I always found it to be very ...

This is meant as a personal thanks to another member of Dooyoo. A few months back I read one of Wulise's opinions (she is a good friend of mine here and on Ciao), she helped me out after posting a comment on that opinion. I read about some hand moisturiser that she uses and I thought it sounded great. No sooner had I posted ...

Quickies are exactly what their name suggests, now wait a minute! Not that kind of quickie cheeky! Quickies are a quick and easy way of removing nail polish! They come in a pink plastic tub about the size of a can of tuna but square. The tub is airtight when closed, but opens easily, making it ideal for travelling. You know how annoying ...

Handcreams are a problem for me the only ones that work well seem to cost more than an everday item should. So I am happy to report that I have just discovered Boots Botanics Overnight hand and nail treatment. The claim on the tube is that it hydrates,softens and nourishes. That selected oils boost the skins natural defence ...

I was given a Natural Collection Nail File for my birthday last year - they come in two colours; green with strawberries and purple with daisies. I have used it constantly for the last 17 months and have only just had to replace it! I file my nails on average once a week, and have never had a nail file last so long ever. It is an absolute ...

I had my nails done for my wedding, the same as Katie2 did. I went to a woman's house to have them done. She works part-time in a Salon, but was starting out on her own. I saw someone's nails and asked where she had them done, so I went after her recommendation. It took about 2 hours to have them fitted and decorated ...

Stripr from Supernails Nail polish remover may not be the most glamoroud part of a manicure, but it really can have a lasting impact on your nails, as well as the cuticles. It's important to use as gentle a product as possible; a polish remover has to contain strong solvents to do the job, but those solvents also strip all ...

Tesco's nail polish remover pads from their Beauty Choices range seem the ideal solution for holidays. Small and compact the pack contains 15 circular, moist pads. The smell is very pungent - moreso than liquid nail varnish removers I have used. Each pad will remove a lot of polish and one pad can easily remove polish from finger and toe ...

Supernail of LA - Zoom Dry Therapy This is a really amazing handcream - quite unlike anything I have tried before. What makes this unusual is the way that it sinks in very very quickly indeed, leaving absolutely no trace. I have to deal with a lot of important documents at work and, as you know paper is very drying to the hands. But I ...

Nail Envy - OPI This is one of only two or three products I've ever found which does consistently and on a large number of people, have a very beneficial effect on weak nails. I've been using it on and off for a few years now - and if you could see the length of my nails you'd immediately know why I don't mind paying the ...

Supernail of LA's Nail Eat and Drink regime really is a miracle for just about every kind of nail problem. And while nothing will work for absolutely everyone, this works for almost everybody I've tried it on. The system consists of two bottles. Nail Eat is for nails which are soft and bendy and don't grow or break because they're ...

This hand cream works its magic on even the driest, chapped hands imaginable - ask me, I should know, since I had a baby, my hands spend more time in the sink than out! It is available in both scented and unscented and its effects can be noticed as soon as you use it. Even when your hands get sore and chapped, it doesn't even sting ...

I popped into my local chemist and was surprised at how cheap the Cover Girl emery boards are 10 for 79p . I know they are a lot more expensive than that in boots . The quality is really good to and each emery board lasts a long time . They have a coarse side for shaping nails and a smooth side for smoothing . Although they are smaller than other ...

You cant beat Olive Oil and Sugar. Just put a tea spoon of sugar in the palm of your hand, pour on a little oil and massage into your hands then rinse. This keeps hands clean and soft. Lots of expensive creams and lotions are on the market and none are as good despite the prices. Also rub oil into the nails after removing ...
