I Love Hean - Nr. 810

The nail polish that I will be showing you today has really surprised me. I will be honest with you. I only ordered it because it was cheap :-). I wasn't looking for a new polish or a new shade, I just ordered it because I couldn't miss the chance to buy a new polish (beside the approx. 30 bottles I haven't tested yet).

I applied it without much enthusiasm, but once it was on my nails I fell in love with it!

This is I love Hean - Nr. 810. Well ... My point exactly! I Love Hean! :-) They couldn't find a better fitting name for this brand!

I have bought it from www.magiq.ro for only 7 RON (approx. 1.5 EUR / 2 USD).

It's not just a simple light blue, but it has a really nice somewhat darker, holographic blue shimmer in it.

Now I wonder ... is the whole I Love Hean Collection as beautiful as this one, or was I just lucky by choosing exactly this shade?

Nr. 810 is the second bottle from the first row.

And one more important thing: it's 3 Free! This polish contains no Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, and Formaldehyde.

Trind Natural Nail Care - First Impressions

As promised yesterday (here), I am back with the first impressions regarding the Trind Natural Nail Care products. I haven't used any of my usual nail care products, only the ones gotten from Rouge-Boutique.

To be more exact, I have used the Nail Balsam and the Nail Repair, the 2 products from left to right.
This is how my nails look like in day 1:

The first product that I applied was the Nail Balsam. It is recommended if your nails are dry, brittle and grow slow. My first impression was that it smells pretty, almost like a hand cream (after all, it is supposed to be a balsam :-) ). Trind recommends to use Nail Balsam daily. Apply, wait 2 minutes and then massage the excess into the nail and the surrounding skin. I had the impression that I don't get enough balsam on the brush, but that was just the impression. After 2 minutes I still had some on my nails. After massaging it into your nails, they will feel hydrated and so soft! Almost as if you had applied nail polish. Nail Balsam check and like :-)

The Nail Balsam is oil free. This means that you can apply your base coat immediately after massaging Nail Balsam into the nails. This is exactly what I have done. Only that I have applied one coat of the Nail Repair strengthener. It is recommended for daily use for at least two weeks. The first impression was that I know this smell!

I am not sure about this, but my best guess is that I am recognizing the specific smell of formaldehyde. This is a very controversial ingredient. I admit I have no medical degree, nor chemistry or biology training. so I can't tell you anything for sure, regarding this ingredient. I can't tell you if it's safe to use or not. What I am sure about is that nail strengtheners that contain formaldehyde work for me. I have read a while ago, that nail strengtheners only contain a few % of formaldehyde. This amount is not dangerous for your health, but can create allergies and definitely will dry your skin and cuticles. After applying products containing formaldehyde, always moisturize your cuticles.

I will be using Nail Repair as a base coat for a few days and see what happens next. Until then, Nail Repair checked :-)

One more time, Day 1:

Stay close, to see whether  Nail Repair can be used as a base coat or not.
