Nailing the Seasonal Transition

Written by Ashley

Things I don’t give a fugg about:

Wearing white after Labor Day, Nickelback and abiding by seasonally appropriate nail color rules.

First things first– nobody can go through life with a raggity set of cuticles, but when the weather starts to get a little nippy, my cuticles go wild! Peace Keeper Nail Renewal Oil keeps my troublesome cuticles out of harms way with a swipe ( or two) each day. I keep some on my bedside, AND some on my desk. And when it comes to the nail itself, I keep them smooth & shapely with tools every couple of weeks, or depending on the barrage of manual labor inflicted upon me, more often.  CND carries my fav up-keep and manicure prep products, by far! They’re used by pros, and make it easy to at-home beautify the fingers.  Keep nails squared & short enough to manage with the CND line of files.  The Glossing Buffer & Kanga Buffer creates a smooth shine that could literally double as a naked nailed clear coat!  I like these to get rid of any ridges that come in, as well. My ultimate fav is the  Girlfriend Buffer, an extra-thick, three-way buffer designed to bring a natural, healthy shine to natural nails and nail enhancements for glowing nails. All of these products fit perfectly into any purse for on-the-go beauty.  You can find them at most professional beauty supply stores.
