Nehpria Jade Beauty Bar – Review & Photos

Published on November 21, 2010 in Beauty. 6 Comments Tags: , , .

Hi everyone!

The second product I’ve been sent by Nephria to try out is the Jade Beauty Bar. My first impression was, that it’s a simple soap but I couldn’t be more wrong. I invite you to check out my preview post about this product before you read this review, because there I’ve posted more about its benefits and ingredients.

The same as Nephria Jade Serum, I’ve been using the Jade Beauty Bar regularly (morning and evening) for almost 2 months and now I can share my thoughts about this product. I like to take my time when I review cosmetic products because my skin needs to get used to the new ingredients and it also takes a couple of weeks to notice its effects on the fine wrinkles, skin firmness and so on.

The Jade Beauty Bar comes packed into a green box and it’s available for the price of $34.00 @Nehpria website. I know the price might seem expensive but as I mentioned this is not just a simple soap, it’s a facial soap with multiple benefits, key ingredients and can replenish more than one beauty product.

Kinetics Quick Change Nail Polish from Backstage Fall – Winter 2010 Collection – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Published on November 14, 2010 in Beauty. 12 Comments Tags: , , , .

Hi Girls!

Last week I finished testing all the colors included in Kinetics Backstage Nail Polish Collection for Fall – Winter 2010 (preview + swatches) so it’s time to start reviewing the entire collection.

Quick Change nail polish is a pastel gray creme with fine silver glitter and the lightest color of this collection.  It comes in a 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) bottle and the price is different for every country but just so you can get an idea the average will be 3.50 Eur or 3.35£.

Quick Change is an opaque polish so 2 coats will be enough. It has its own shine and that wet nails effect look. This photo was taken under natural light and I’m wearing one coat of Nano Seal Treatment (review + swatches) and only 2 coats of Quick Change. I have a pale skin so I don’t like to wear pastel and nude nail polishes. This nail polish would definitely look better on someone with medium skin tone.

Kinetics Nano Nail Treatments – Review – Round-up

Published on November 6, 2010 in Beauty. 11 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

Hi Girls!

I finally finished reviewing the entire Kinetics Nano Nail Treatments Collection for Fall 2010 (preview + photos). This collection includes 4 Nano Treatments that will suit your nails’ needs.

Actually in my opinion there are only 3 nail treatments and 1 base coat used which you can use every day.

There are many factors in our lives which have a direct impact on our nails. The condition of our natural nails depends upon our environment, sun and water, detergents and chemicals, our lifestyles and daily habits, and even the nail polish we use. Natural nail plates are composed of hundreds of layers which are normally lubricated by oil and moisture. If let unprotected, nails lose their moisture and the layers may become dry and brittle, or soften and peel. These symptoms require proper therapy to protect your nails from further damage and restore them to a healthy condition.

The Kinetics Nano series contains 4 expert-level formulas which provide therapy for each type of natural nail. Whether you have dry and brittle, soft and peeling, or healthy nails, you will find the right treatment for you. All formulas make use of nano-technology – extremely small particles – and are designed for ultimate workability. This advanced technology gives nails a super-hard surface and superior adhesion, facilitates streak-free application, and works through the nail polish right down to your natural nail.

Kinetics Nano Shark Emergency Treatment for damaged nails – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Published on November 6, 2010 in Beauty. 4 Comments Tags: , , , .

Hi everyone!

The last review from Kinetics Nano Treatments Collection for Fall 2010 (preview + photos) will be Nano Shark Emergency Treatment for damaged nails. This is actually a 2 in 1 product which can be used very efficiently as a base and top coat.

Is an instant help for severely damaged nails. This therapy forms a ceramic nano-shield to instantly improve nail condition. It serves as a base coat with improved adhesion. When used as a top coat, Nano Shark hardens your nails over the nail polish.

Nano Shark is available for sale at selected beauty salons and online shops (check your country availability) and comes in a 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) bottle.

I’ve used this treatment as a base coat for only a few days without applying any nail color and after that I used it only as a top coat. Is indeed a very strong treatment and its results can be seen within 2-3 days. Once you apply it over nail polish your nails are instantly harder. You can transform soft nails into stronger nails in just seconds and after a few days treatment you will notice the difference on your bare nails. icon smile Kinetics Nano Shark Emergency Treatment for damaged nails Review, Photos, Nail Swatches Continue reading ‘Kinetics Nano Shark Emergency Treatment for damaged nails – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches’

Kinetics Nano Seal Dry & Brittle continuous therapy for brittle nails – Review, Photos, Nail Swatches

Published on November 6, 2010 in Beauty. 8 Comments Tags: , , , .

Hi everyone!

Nano Seal Dry & Brittle nail treatment is one of the four products included in Kinetics Nano Treatments Collection for Fall 2010 (preview + photos). I’ve started using Nano Seal after I’ve tested Nano Rhino Soft & Peeling nail treatment (review) and Nano Turtle Base Coat (review).

Kinetics Nano Seal Dry & Brittle  is a cocktail of vitamins A, E, B5 and C which provides constant moisture to dry and brittle nails and helps restore a healthy condition.

Brittle nails are caused by excessive submersion of the nails in water, or periods of ill health, or nails dried out from indoor heat, exposure to detergents and too frequent use of nail polish removers. To prevent brittle nails you could avoid exposure to detergents, cleansers and other strong cleaning fluids – or wear gloves; protect your nails from little bumps and possible injury by wearing cotton gloves; and keep your nails short because the shorter the nails the less the risk of damaging them.

Nano Seal is comes in a 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) bottle and it’s already available for sale at selected salons and online shops. Check out my post about Kinetics availability in your country and remember that prices are different in each country.

Hi everyone!

Nano Turtle Basic Daily Protection and Base Coat is part of the Kinetics Nano Nail Treatments Collection for Fall 2010 (preview + photos). I’ve started using Nano Turtle after 5 days of using Nano Rhino Soft & Peeling Nail Treatment (review).

I invite you to take a look first at my review about Nano Rhino treatment so you can see how my nails looked like before I start using any of the four Kinetics Nano Treatments.

Kinetics Nano Rhino Soft & Peeling Instant Treatment for Soft Nails – Review, Photos, Swatches

Published on November 6, 2010 in Beauty. 6 Comments Tags: , , , .

Hi everyone!

About two months ago I received the entire collection of Kinetics Nano Nail Treatments for Fall 2010 (preview + photos) right when my nails needed all the help they could get.

If you’ve read some of my nail polish reviews you know that I don’t like to wear a base coat and I apply a top coat only on 5 of my nails so I can compare the results between the nail polishes later on. All that swatching and nail polish testing made my nails yellow, soft and they were also starting to exfoliate all the time. They were just sending me an SOS message so I knew I had to do something about it.

Nano Nail Treatments Collection offers a complete treatment for any problem that your nails might have. I tested all of them but first I’ve started with Kinetics Nano Rhino Soft & Peeling Instant Treatment for Soft Nails.

Description: A natural keratin and aldehyde treatment for soft and peeling nails. Builds a second “nail layer” to instantly restore durability. Provides easy, streak-free polish glide due to a super-hard surface formed by advanced nanotechnology. Serves as a base coat with improved adhesion. Instant treatment for soft, peeling, and weak nails.

Nano Rhino Treatment comes in a 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) bottle and is available @kineticsnails.com and selected beauty salons. Don’t forget to check my post about countries and online shops availability because the price is different for each country.
