I Discovered gel nail polish and I love it

what I have on are the colors simply sheer (which looks like it has a pink tint but really doesn't)

and sheek white

So I Went to Sallys Beauty supply about maybe two weeks ago and I saw this brand "gelish" I originally went to buy and orange nail polish which I didnt end but buying since I got sucked in into buying this kit they had which came with everything you need (supposedly) for $30. I also bought  three colors which may I say this stuff is not cheap. A bottle of gel nail polish is $15 it was on sale for $9 which is less but still a lot for the tiny little bottle. I got home and immediately had to try it so I did. It has been 18 days and my nails still look pretty good. This is suppose to last about three weeks no chipping or dullness but by the 3rd week you can see nail growth.

The pros are!!!!

they have a pretty good variety of gel nail polish they have like 78 colors I think

It lasts quite a long time ( I still haven't seen and chipping)

its a money saver vs getting a manicure every week

great for people who are trying to grow out their nails or have very thin brittle nails ( it adds a little bit of thickness to the nails not as much as acrylics)

not as harmful as acrylics

The Cons..   tan tAn tannnn....

they are a little bit expensive (I will tell you what items you can skip in my opinion just keep reading)

can be time consuming since each coat requires it to cure under a UV lamp

watch out with the nail filling of the natural nail plate it can be damage if you file it to much

(I recommend using a nail buffer just to remove the shine and if you remove them and decide to put them back on only file the nail growth)

can be a hassle to remove them but if your into nails ahh its worth it!

In conclusion

I love the idea of gel nail polish. they look nice and clean always shiney.

  The items you really need are the Foundation coat , gel nail polish, the Top it Off sealer and a UV lamp which many ebayers sell for a reasonable price. The nail cleanse and the liquid to remove it is basically nail polish remover it has acetone! To remove them all you do is file off the first coat and soak in nail polish remover until its all gone.

Oh I almost forgot to mention dont buy it from sallys unless you like to buy over priced things.

At sally s they have the minis for the same price as a regular full size gel nail polish which is $16 you can try searching amazon.com, eBay, or beautywest.com which is where I got mine it was like 30 cents less lol.

I discovered how wonderful it is to have a juicer

My husband brought a juicer home a while back I didn't really pay much attention to it until now I cant leave the poor juicer alone. I love it and its a great way to eat fruits and vegetables I make juice for my baby sister all the time its better for her and I know it doesn't have all that unnecessary sugar added that other juices have. I have been trying different fruits and vegetables and this one is one of my favorites.

You will need

1 mango

1 apple

1/2 orange

a little less than 1/2 a banana

and 1 slice of pineapple 

coconut oil deep conditioner mask

purchase this at whole foods, trader joe s, any organic grocery stores  or Walmart
price: 11-14 dollars

I purchased this when I saw a girl on youtube use it on her hair and her hair was gorgeous I want hair like hers I said to myself. I did some research for this since I had never even heard of coconut oil and I discovered its many uses for it people use it for cooking instead of using margarine or butter this is a much healthier option, also melt it and mix it with you lotion for people who have overly dry skin, it helps improve appearance of skin they say, if you have dandruff this will help with a dry scalp, it helps get ride of fungus thats why its good to eat,  some people have even claimed weight loss and it keeps your hair healthy.
I used this first on my damp hair you can heat it up a little first because it comes as a solid but melts with 75 degrees so it melts in your hands it needs no refrigeration after opening too. Anyway I chose to leave it in all night and rinse out in the next morning. You can leave it in for 20-30 min however I just wanted to make sure it penetrated into my hair well. Since this is an oil avoid to close to the scalp because after u rinse your hair will look oily (it happened to me lol ) I had to rinse more than once but if you are trying to get rid of dandruff get this all in your scalp and just make sure to rinse well with shampoo. You can also apply it and add heat with a blow dryer if you like that works too.
Also the smell is great I love the smell of coconuts but if you dont like coconuts you might not like this.
hair was shinny and manageable after wards and I do this when ever I have time twice a week and the moroccan oil mask once a week.
