Impressed with imPRESS Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails #imPRESSmanicure


I have a good set of strong nails but I don't usually take the time to paint them as it doesn't last.  In my line of work I use my hands a lot for most of six hours and they also spend a good chunk of time wet or submerged in water.  In such conditions any nail polish I might have on wears off and looks awful usually after just a few hours into a shift then on my days off I just don't always find the time to paint them.

For parties and other occasions it's nice to have painted nails but my own aren't always the same length when I need them to be or in good condition so that's where imPRESS Press-On Manicure works very well.  It took me about two minutes to figure out which nail goes where and to peel off the backings and press them on.  So simple and it turned out fantastic!  I decided to leave them on while I went to work and went about my everyday life to see how long they lasted.  On the package it says up to one week.  Well for me they started lifting up in the middle of day three.  Considering I worked two of those three days I think that's pretty good.  The polish doesn't wear off either.  I have never worn any type of fake or press on nails ever but it didn't really take long to get used to them but I don't think I could ever get used to working in them as I like to use my nails at work.  

Removal is just as easy.  The ends were beginning to lift on a few of them so I gently slid a nail under the press on one and slowly peeled it off and the ones that weren't lifted I slowly peeled them off from the sides and it didn't hurt of leave any sticky residues on my nails.  My own nails look great and don't show signs that anything was stuck to them.  Although I wouldn't wear press on nails such as this all the time I'd definitely keep a set or two around for those times I'd like to add a little pizazz to my look.

Beautiful A.M. Moisturizer and P.M. Revitalizer Review and Giveaway!

I have crap facial skin and always have as long as I can remember.  I'm pretty sure I have rosacea but it's never been diagnosed except by Dr Google and there's been times my cheeks are so dry they are like alligator skin and I've been prescribed cream for that time to time.  I also have breakouts somewhat often.

Though I've never officially seen a doctor for my face she had mentioned in the past that I could get it fixed but at what cost?  Yes I'd love to have that smooth, creamy complexion but I've made do for almost 38 yrs with the skin I was born with and I can't say it's really negatively affected my life in any way.  That being said I do wear foundation on a daily basis to lessen the redness.

I'm always willing to try new products on my face in an effort to find anything that may help but I'm not willing to do trial and error with products that cost $20-30  or more a bottle.  I was approached by Trusted Health Products at http://www.trustedhealthproducts.com/ to try their pure and natural Beautiful A.M. Moisturizer and P.M. Revitalizer.

First of all I love the way it smells like fruity oils.  It makes sense because it is a mixture of oils including fruit oils and it also goes on nice and smooth as an oil should.  It's good for all skin types and basically replaces everything and anything you would use on your skin (except makeup if you wish) and would be the only 2 products you would need making it cheaper overall.  Beautiful is food for your skin and the bottles even come personalized with your name on it.  There is also a men's line as well.  Apparantly it takes about 30 days for Beautiful to detoxify your skin so I followed the directions putting 3 or more drops on each cheek and using my finger to spread on the skin, not rub in.  I did this for 30 days.  I didn't notice a huge change in the look of my skin overall but people have said I look younger and my skin looks better.  I do know that it feels smoother and my acne is gone even at that time of the month.  My foundation also goes on a lot smoother and doesn't have that "caked on" look where my skin was so dry.  Only issue I have had is in the morning my skin still looks dry whereas when I was using my regular moisturizer it didn't.  This could be because I'm not using enough for my skin and because it can take up to 90 days to see the full effects of this product I'm willing to keep using it.  It has not helped much with my rosacea but I didn't expect it to.  Overall I think it's a great product and I'm leaning towards using it to replace the several bottles of product I currently use.
