Hello lovelies,

 

I think it's time for me to finally share my views on Bliss Kiss Pure Cuticle & Nail Oil. A while ago I got one nail oil pen as a sample from lovely Ana who is the person behind Bliss Kiss brand and I was hooked! I purchased two full sets and I have been using them since (approx. four months now and still haven't used up even a quarter). Little goes a long way, you don't need nails covered in thick layer of oil.

 

The nail oil comes in different packaging - you can purchase nail oil pens, bottle with a brush and refill bottle of oil. I went for sets of nail oil pen and bottle with a brush because sometimes I like to put more generous amount of oil and massage it into my fingers before I go to sleep. I can still use the oil from the bottle to refill the pens.

 

It comes in scented and unscented version and usually there are numerous scents you can choose from depending on seasonal collections. I have Crisp which is yummy, not too sweet scent.

Review: Bliss Kiss Pure Cuticle & Nail Oil

 


And now for the oil itself - I have read numerous testimonials and blogger reviews and have seen before & after pirctures before trying the oil for the first time. They all sounded and looked great so my expectations were high. My opinion? The oil works great and it's currently my favourite oil together with the SpaRitual Cuti-Cocktail. I use them both regularly and change between them.

 

The Bliss Kiss oil contains a jojoba wax ester, Grape seed oil, Olive oil, Vitamin E & A and Tea tree oil. Thanks to the high content of jojoba it has anti-fungal, antimicrobial, and antibacterial qualities. It's all very good stuff for nails and it seems to be working great for nourishing the nails and making them nicely flexible so they don't break easily. Moreover, my cuticles have never been better and I seem to have less hangnails too. I haven't had a break in the whole 4 months of using the oil until the other day and it was certainly my stupidity :D

 

Ana has done an extensive research and has written numerous helpful articles about healthy nails, how to take care of them, the science behind her successful nail oil and much more. I've learnt many things especially when nails break easily and how oil can prevent it. Ana has also developed the 3-Day Initial Hydration Treatment that will get your nails in shape in 3 days using just this oil :) All the information and articles are available at Bliss Kiss website.

 

So to sum up, it's a great product and I can honestly recommend it to anyone. I wouldn't if it wouldn't help me get strong, healthy nails and hydrated cuticles.

 

Bliss Kiss oil is available at Bliss Kiss website (worldwide) or on Amazon (US only).

 

Feel free to ask me questions and have a good day!

Hello lovelies,

 

I've got here another nail polish collection, this time it's CND VINYLUX Forbidden Collection. It consists of six mini bottles of nail polish and one mini Weekly Top Coat. The collection is packed neatly in a cardboard box and plastic insert...

About: “The new fall collection was inspired by CND’s top seasonal nail trend – Forbidden, a dark, dangerous, edgy look that encourages women to embrace their inner femme fatal,” says CND co-founder Jan Arnold. “Featured during our Fall/Winter Fashion Week designer collaborations in New York and London, the new colors and CND Additives inspire Nail Professionals and women around the world to bring runway to realway.”

 

So let's have a look at the individual shades:

 

Steel Gaze - olive green sparkly base with gold and silver glimmer. Steel Gaze has an easy-flowing formula but it's quite sheer. I have applied three coats and one coat over black on the ring finger. you can see that there is a slight difference in the colour.

Night Glimmer - greenish brown base with silver particles. I must say I'm not a big fan of this colour, it's that strange brownish shade that is quite hard to describe. The formula of the polish was quite thick yet still manageable. I've applied two coats for full coverage and the CND Weekly Top Coat.

Blue Rapture - blue-grey creme. This blue is very unusual and I like it! The formula was great and very easy to work with and two coats provided full coverage. I've applied the CND Weekly Top Coat.

Burnt Romance - burnt orange brown creme. Burnt Romance is another quite unusual shade. It is clearly brown but it has strong orange undertones. It applied well and the formula wasn't thick but the pigmentation was a bit lower. I needed two thicker coats and topcoat for perfect finish.

Tinted Love - red-based purple creme. Gorgeous berry purple, one of my favourites. The formula was almost perfect with good pigmentation and easy application. I've applied two coats and topcoat again.

Dark Dahlia - blackberry creme. I know Dark Dahlia looks like black but it is a very dark blackberry purple and I love it so much! All I needed were two coats for perfect coverage. It applied well and dried fast. I've done a lace nail art with this shade, check it out here.

Another lovely Fall collection on the market that made me go 'aaaah' :) All these shades are also available in Shelac in case you're interested. My absolute favourites are Tinted Love and Dark Dahlia.

 

The polish and topcoat come in mini bottles of .125 fl oz / 3.7 ml size. You can purchase this collection directly from CND but you need to have a pro account. If you don't, you can get it from Amazon.
