Influenster Review


I hope everyone is doing well today. We have had several horrible storms rip threw my area over the last 3 days, and I have been away from my PC during that time. We did have a Tornado touch down near us, but luckily my home, family and friends are safe. I can only hope the same for all my viewers out there!

Today I have a fun and different type of post. Influenster sent me a box sponsored by Palmolive.  I know for me, being a nail person, anything that I apply to my hands is important. I have extremely DRY skin so I'm cautious with products, even dish detergent.





As you can see, my package was a little beat up for the post, but the contents were safe inside!


 

Palmolive has long known that the daily task of doing dishes shouldn't wreak havoc on your hands. Their formula now has more caring ingredients than before, with the latest offerings in the Palmolive Soft Touch dish liquid line. Palmolive as always, tough on grease, soft on hands. 

I received two bottles, Aloe (blue bottle) and Vitamin E (pink Bottle).


The Aloe version is formulated for Dry Skin and the Vitamin E version is formulated for soft hands.


I'm normally a Dawn person when it comes to my dish detergents. I was currently using Dawn with OLAY Moisturizer. So when I received these I was really anxious to try them out. This is probably the first time I was ever excited to do dishes lol. 

I LOVED them. I tried the Soft on Hands Vitamin E formula first. I really loved how soft it felt. I tested it on an extremely greasy pan. It cut through the grease with no issues. I didn't get that greasy feeling on glass like I do when I have tried other off brands that I have grabbed because of the sale price (which I regretted after the purchase). The only thing I didn't like was the slightly floral smell. The smell was strong and pleasant, I'm just not a floral person over all. 

Next, I tested the Dry Skin Aloe formula. This one was a hit for me!!! The smell was more earthy and natural (right up my ally). Again, it cut threw the grease with no issues, pretty much exactly like my Dawn does. The feeling of my hands afterwards was amazing. I can truly say I will not be purchasing the Dawn OLAY anymore. I was getting a skin tightening feeling after use, and that is not happening with the Palmolive. I washed dishes over an hour ago and my hands still feel soft, no tightening feeling that I always get after washing dishes.

I highly recommend both of these. If you are like me, and struggle with lots of dry skin and dry cuticles, this product is for you - Your hands will thank you! 

Now, since I'm all about the nails - I matched up my nails with the bottles lol. 


Swatched with Sation: Plenty of Frogs. This is my new favorite Sation polish. A gorgeous green with pretty glitter shimmer. It is SO PRETTY!!!!! This is a must have Sation. This was a fast sloppy swatch just having fun with my new soaps lol.



 Swatched with Sation: Teacher's Pet. Ughhh probably my worst formula polish EVER. I love my Sation polishes, but this one was a HOT MESS. It streaked, it dragged and it caused balding. I thinned it, and that made it just a watery HOT MESS. I hate to even show you this swatch - it was that bad. I think I'm actually going to throw this polish away lol. I wouldn't even give it away....I would not wish this horror on anyone! I'm not having the greatest swatching day so maybe I will try it another day. We will see.

Thanks for visiting guys. Check out Palmolive's Website for more information on these fabulous new dish detergents!

Naild'it Bleeding Love

Press Sample

Today I have another Naild'it polish for you guys. This one I really can't say anything about except maybe, 'WOW'!
You guys have been spoiled this week with a post every day. Tomorrow, I return home from my trip to New York, so It will go back to 2/3 posts a week.  I would love to continue to post every day, but having a job prevents that! Thumbs down to working ..LOL!  Thumbs up for Auto Posts :)
This is 3 coats alone with 1 coat of Seche Vite top coat. Bleeding Love is a gorgeous pinkish red, a beautiful mix of the two colors. The glitters are purple, white, red, and pink. This polish contains both Pink and red heart shaped glitters. If you look closely at my index finger you can see a heart glitter. There is also one on my pink finger as well.
I love the jelly type base in this one, it's very shiny and eye catching.
There is a gorgeous shimmer in this one, you can see that above on my pink finger. LOVE THIS.
Here is a close up of this one..
This is a must have for your collections in my opinion.
If you like to purchase Naild'it polish you can find them at Llorowe.com or the Naild'it Etsy Store. Follow Naild'it on Facebook to have up to date information on shop opening times and release dates.

Naild'it Butterflies in Rainbow Skies...

Press Sample

I have another Naild'it polish for you guys for today's post. Andrea at Naild'it has just recently released a bunch of new polishes, and I was sent this one for review. Today I have Butterflies in Rainbow Skies.
 
When I first saw this polish my first initial reaction was truthfully, 'Meh'. It didn't do anything special for me at the moment I saw it, but like many other polish I don't immediately like, I wanted to give it a try. I am so glad I gave it a chance - this polish is AMAZING!!
 
I decided to layer this over Lime Crime's Lavendairy. That was a mistake because Lavendairy has too much pink in it, and it was not a good match at all. I don't recommend you use the same base with this polish. I did make it work in the end...
 
 
This polish turned out to be so beautiful. Now please note that the polish has pink butterfly glitters in it as well, but I didn't get any when I lightly brushed this on. I ended up liking it even without the butterflies.
 
 
Out of the new collections that have come out for Naild'it, this one ended up being my favorite of them all. This is 2 coats of Lavendairy with 2 coats of Butterflies in Rainbow Skies, with Seche Vite as the top coat.
 
 
Neon has become really prominent in a lot of Spring/Summer collections for 2013. Unfortunately, not a lot of us can comfortable wear neon colors. This polish is the perfect solution.  The glitters are translucent neon hex glitters and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!
 
 
The colors of yellow, pink, orange, and purple work so well together.

Do you guys like this one? Isn't this just beautiful? I would love to hear what you guys think about this one.

Naild'it Merry Row Round..hang on for a wild ride!

Press Sample

For those that follow me, you know my two major weaknesses with nail polish are bar glitter and large dot glitters. Todays polish is from Naild'it called Merry Row Round. This is a milky white base with TONS of glitter, including one of my favorite shaped glitters - round dot glitters.


This is 3 coats with 1 coat of Seche Vite Top Coat. This polish is packed full of colors. This reminds me of a exploded Piñata lol. I'm loving all the colors that Andrea is using to fill her new polishes. Not just one or two....more like over 8 different colors!
 
 
The large dot glitters in this is instant LOVE for me. It works so well with this polish.
 
 
The formula on this was really impressive for a white base polish. It went on easily with no issues, balding or dragging.


EPPPS...how amazing is this!

Naild'it - Put a Ring on it...

Press Sample

I'm back, as promised :) Right about now I'm in New York and having a blast (hopefully - lol). It's Mother's Day and I'm with my MOM!!!! Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely Mother's out there today.  I myself do not have my own children, but my husband has three boys, so that makes me a Step Mom :)
I also have 2 cats and I clean up poop, throw up, feed them, bath them, break up fights, clean up after them. In my book that definitely qualifies me as a Mom too. My Husband always gets me something for Mother's Day from the cats lol.  This year we are apart, but we will celebrate when I get back home to Missouri!
On to the post.....today I want you guys to check out this AMAZING polish from Naild'it.  I will warn you ahead of time that I'm going to say I love this polish about 100 times in this post.
This is  clear base polish with Gold, Silver and Holo Glitters. My Mom deserves a gold Medal so this one is for her!
I LOVE THIS POLISH.

I really don't have anything like this in my collection. It's actually just two colors, gold and silver, but it's amazing. I LOVE THIS POLISH! This is 2 coats of OPI: My Boyfriend Scales Walls, with two dabbed on coats of Put a Ring On it (how cute is that name?)!
I think this polish would look amazing on ANY color. I see it over Pink, Red, Gold, Orange, Blue, Purple and Black. It would look amazing on any of these. I LOVE THIS POLISH. 

 I hope everyone has a happy Mother's Day!! Thanks for visiting as usual and I will back shortly!
You can purchase Naild'it polishes on LLorowe.com or The Naild'it Etsy Shop. Thanks for visiting and I will be back again soon!
