Kiss All or one Artificial Nail remover set review


Hi there! Lots of exciting things coming up in the next few weeks so keep in tune!
A few weeks ago when I went to Sluis , this is one of the things I picked up, an all in one artificial nail remover. I instantly thought wow what a great idea, but wasn't sure if it would really work so I asked the store clerks some advice and they assured me it does work. Usually I would remover my artificial gellish nails by first soaking a cotton bud in the special remover containing acceton that you can buy in most drugstores and then wrapping the bud around my finger with tin foil. It's a noisy fiddley process especially when you have to do it on your self. So I took the risk and bought this set for about €12.


Kiss claimes to safely and gently remove full-cover glue-on nails, tips and all other types of nails and removing the nail in up to 5 times faster than soaking in acetone.


The packaging is cleverly put together, stacking the different containers up on each other with the smaller pieces kept in the lid.


Contents:
 1 Artificial nail remover 100ml
1 Remover jar
1 Mini file
1 Manicure stick


The packaging directs you to pour the nail remover into the remover jar.


I love the design and the placing of the finger holes. Somebody has clearly put some thought into this product with special attention for comfort and ease.


I placed my fingers in the container and let them soak for about to 2 minutes after using the file to break the top coat seal of the nails, enabling the product to soak in properly.

This is what my nails looked like to start with. I had already lost a chip on my pinky finger due to clumsiness.


After 2 minutes you are ment to scrub your nails against the little brushes on the inside of the tub for a while. Here I have to point out that, bearing in mind I have a very sensitive skin, that this was really uncomfortable for me, leaving my fingers soar.


But after 10 minutes there was clearly some result.
After about 20 minutes I managed to get them of entirely.


Overall I was impressed. I love the whole idea and anything that saves my times is a keeper.
Would I buy it again? Definitely ! Easy in use and above that ,easy to store ,which is always a plus.
I wouldn't use it on other people for hygienic reasons, so the girls who have there nails done by me are still going to have to put up with the tin foil, sorry!

Gelish+Nail stickers: Does it work?



Last christmas my boyfriend got me a Gelish set so I could do my own nails.
The set consisted the basic varnishes plus two color's (I chose Sparkly silver and dark red) and a UV light.  I love Gelish as it's so easy to use, almost like nail varnish.

I've always enjoyed doing my nails and before I got this set, I bought loads of nail stickers but ended up saving them for 'special occasions' and eventually forgetting about them.
When I was rummaging through all of my things and spotted them I started wondering if I could use them in between my Gelish layers, I know you can use regular nail polish, so I searched the web and couldn't find anyone who had tried it yet.
So here I am , taking on the challenge!


The result:

If anything , it looked pretty cool.
I started using the base coat and after removing the sticky layer, applied the stickers and ended with two top coats.
Now, I didn't expect the nails to hold too long, thinking, once air got under one of the layers, it would be over. On the second day I bumped my thumb into the door and lost half of the nail. But that was just me being clumsy. All in all they lasted little over a week (mind, I do always use gloves for cleaning and washing up). Which is longer than the two days the stickers would have lasted, bare in mind that my Gelish only last about two and a half weeks, but again, that's just me being clumsy.
So my advice would be , if you have real cool stickers that you want to wear more than just a day or two it's worth a go. I'll probably do it again if I find new cool ones.
