Sally's Beauty Supply HandsDown Ultra Polish Pad Remover Review

I was at Sally's Beauty Supply, (as usual lol), and I saw these nail polish remover pads that really caught my interest. They are called HandsDown Ultra Nail & Cosmetic Pads. Below is a picture of the bag that caught my attention while I was shopping around the store...

Below is a close up of the pad, and the proper way to hold it...

Below is a close up of the flat portion of the pad and it's made out of felt.

As soon as I got home, I gave these a hot and I LOVED them. I can't rave about these enough. There are so many benefits to these nail polish remover pads.

* The pads protect the skin on your index finger and thumb when removing nail polish on your other fingers. The tab protects your skin from soaking up remover. My fingers have been known to turn ashy and white from over use of acetone nail polish remover when removing my polish.

* The pads protect your existing manicure when you are removing old polish from your toes OR if you are doing a manicure for a friend and you do not want to ruin your own polish. 

* When you are doing your own manicure, sometimes you mess up a nail and have to start over on just that one nail.  This will protect your polish on your other fingers when you need to do individual spot nail polish removal.

* The surface is felt and almost 100% lint free.  In the Nail Polish word, felt is used to remove difficult polishes such as glitter polishes. The quality of this felt is WAY better than any felt pieces I have purchased at craft stores.

* The pad felt is very thick and very absorbent. You can clean all ten nails with just one pad and package contains 60 pads.

* You can use these for facial products, without getting hand germs on your skin etc. I get a lot of eye infections and I am very cautious how often my fingers actually touch my face and eye area. I much rather use these to apply facial products then risking another eye infection. 

I am sure there are many many more benefits that I have not listed here. Add to comments if I missed any :)

Added Essie Shine of The Times to RBL No More War

I was bored with my Rescue Beauty Lounge: No More War so I wanted to kick it up some. I decided to add Essie Shine of the Times, and all I can say is WOW!!!

I would not have waited this long to use this polish if I knew just how amazing it is. 

GORGEOUS!!! If you have this polish make sure you do not keep it in your untrieds.

I took this is different light angles to see the color flash.

In this light it looks like a RAINBOW!!!

This polish is SO DENSE and SO AMAZING!

Do you guys have this polish? I would love to hear what your reactions are to this one. If you have pics on your blogs, please leave your links - I would love to see. 

Thanks for looking!

Untried No. 1 - RBL No More War NOTD and a Comparison

Today is the first day of my 2012 Untried Challenge. My first polish up is Rescue Beauty Lounge: No More War. I got this in a swap and I HAD to use. I absolutely LOVE LOVE this color. My Favorite Nail Polish Color is Green and these that are called Baby Puke (lol) are my favorite types of color. It is mind blowing.

I missed out on ordering this back in 2010 when RBL had their end of year 50% off sale. Soon after that sale I cut my hand and dropped out of polish for awhile. In the time of my absence from polish the color was discountinued. I have to say this was my biggest regret of all time. 

After much waiting and searching, I was able to obtain this in a swap.  I have to say as of right now this is my favorite color in my collection of about 320 polishes. 

On to the pictures...

YUMMY for me :) 

It's a gorgeous green with a slight yellowish tint. A true Beauty all around.

I also decided to do a comparison with Zoya Dree as I myself was curious what the difference was.

Sorry for the messy swatch :) As you can see the colors are not even close. The Zoya is a true army green and the RBL is more yellow and deep.

For those of you that are interested, I am closely approaching 200 followers. My giveaway will be posted as soon as the 200th follower appears. Stay tuned!

Challenge for 2012 & upcoming GIVEAWAY

A few announcements:

Here are the details of my personal blog challenge for 2012. 

I want to tackle my untried nail polishes. My collection is close to about 325 bottles and 90% is untried!!!  My day for doing this will be Saturday/Sunday. These are the only true days I have off work.  Each Saturday/Sunday I will be using an untried and posting it here. 

I know for most this doesn't seem like a hard challenge of once a week, but for someone that has 2 jobs - it is lol! It will only make a small dent in my untrieds, but it's a start :) 

I still want to purchase new polishes, so if they are used they will be posted during the week. Stay tuned, this Saturday will be the start of this, and untried #1.

Also, I'm getting close to 200 followers (Wow)! When I started this all I never imagined I would get that many followers. I love it! I'm going to be having a 200 followers giveaway - Including International followers as well. I have different ideas of what polish I will have in the giveaway, so as it approaches I will let you guys know when it starts and what will be up for grabs.  

I don't like anything too complicated for giveaways so easy rules will apply.  Post my giveaway on your Blog, leave a comment, and finally answer a simple nail related question. That's it :)

Start date to be announced (19 more followers to go for 200)!!!
