Hi everyone and happy new years eve! For today's post which will probably be my last post of the year, I'm going to review a nail strengthener product that I was sent from Nail Polish Canada. It took me a long time to finally try out the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive but I finally did so let's go ahead and see what I thought of it.

Product Description
Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive protects and strengthens damaged, fragile, split, and broken nails. Its exclusive formula enhanced with active bio ingredients helps repair, protect, and fortify nails.

Where to Buy
A bottle contains 10ml. You can purchase a bottle of the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive from Nail Polish Canada for $26. They also carry the original Vitry Nail Repair Treatment for $23.

Packaging
The Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive came in a nice cardboard box highlighting and outlining what the product does. I like that there's a picture on it showing the result the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive can have on your nails after using it for two weeks. Inside, the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive is packaged in a simple white rounded bottle shape.

How To Use
Apply one coat every two days, making sure that you cleanse your nails between each application with the Vitry Extra Soft Nail Varnish Remover. May be used on its own or as a base with nail varnish.

My Review
First off, I have never used any kind of nail strengthener before so this was my first experience with this kind of product. I feel like my nails condition is average, its not that fragile but its not very strong too so I felt like this would be an interesting product for me to try out. When I first applied the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive, it applied really smoothly on my nails so I found application on it really good. I liked the brush on it too since its a little on the wider size which I personally like since I feel like I can get a good even coat with it.

Once the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive dried on my nails, it does leave a pretty shiny finish on the nails which I do like. You can definitely feel and see that there's something applied on to the nails even though the product is clear. There was a bit of a chemical smell on my nails after applying the product but after a few days, it does go away. I didn't have the Vitry Extra Soft Nail Varnish Remover so I used regular non acetone nail polish remover to cleanse the nails and apply a new coat every two days.

After testing the product for a little over two weeks, I can say that when I have the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive on, it does make my nails feel thicker and stronger. This in turns makes me feel like my nails aren't as prone to breakage when I have it on compared to when I don't have it on. Since my nails don't break as often with this product on, they can grow stronger and thicker. Its definitely a nice product to use especially when you can't wear nail polish on a daily basis but would like something on the nails that's not too noticeable but makes you nails look polished.

Final Thoughts
Overall, I liked the product but I'm not 100% in love with it. Since my nails aren't really damaged and fragile, I feel like the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive didn't really have much of an effect on my nails. I do like wearing it since it gives my nails a polished look and it makes my nails feel stronger whenever I have it on. I don't worry on breaking any of my nails when I have the product on. It didn't have much of an effect on my nails but I do recommend anyone who has more damaged, broken, or split nails to give the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive a try since I've read many positive reviews on how it worked for others.

*Nail Polish Canada sent the Vitry Nail Repair Care Sensitive for review purposes. My opinion is 100% honest.*

Born Pretty Z004 Life Narration

Hi everyone! I wasn't planning to post again until the new year but I have some reviews I wanted to post up before 2017 ends. Here's the last swatches of another Born Pretty polish I was sent to review from Born Pretty Store. The other one I showed was a blue one, this one I'm showing today is a green one so let's see it.

Born Pretty Z004 Life Narration is a sheer green polish with duochrome micro glitter that shifts between green and pink in it. This polish is very similar to Ocean Illusion which I swatched already but the color is green and the color shift is different as well. Formula is sheer but I didn't find application on it hard. I definitely recommend layering this polish over a base polish since it does require a lot of coats for it to be fully opaque on the nails. This is four coats.

I'm pretty satisfied with the color. I'm not a huge fan of having to apply this many coats for it to opaque but I will probably layer it over a similar base color so I don't have to apply so many coats. What do you think?

Ugly Sweater Holiday Inspired Stamping

Hi everyone! Since its the holiday season, I knew I had to do at least one holiday themed manicure so here it is. This is also my holiday manicure entry into Nail Polish Canada's Holiday Nail Art Challenge that there hosting. If you like my design, please make sure to vote for me here.

I used a variety of polishes so I'm just going to list them out: American Apparel Downtown LA, Color Club Merry And Bright, Color Club Ho-Ho-Holly, Orly Here Comes Trouble, OPI Jade is the New Black, and OPI Ali's Big Break. For the stamping, I used American Apparel Hassid with stamping plate BPL-032 and Celebration BPX-L008. Use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off your order from Born Pretty Store. Finished the manicure off with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

The stamping turned out a little more crooked but I think its okay since this is an ugly sweater themed design. Since Christmas is next week, I'm planning to take that week off from blogging to spend more time with family and friends. Don't worry though since I will be back in the new year. So I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy holidays! See you all in 2018! What do you think of this holiday manicure?

OPI Ski Teal We Drop

Happy Monday Blues! This is my last week of work before I get a holiday break from my workplace for about a week which is nice. I can sleep in and rest before going back in the year. Anyways, let's see today's blue nails.

OPI Ski Teal We Drop is a dark teal creme. The teal in this polish definitely leans a bit more on the blue side. I like the color of this shade and that its not too dark that it looks black when I have it on my nails. Its a great color to wear for the winter season right now. Formula and application on it was pretty good too. This is two coats.

Overall, I'm really pleased with this polish. I don't wear dark polishes all that much but I definitely plan to wear this one a lot especially during the colder weather right now. What do you think?

Dearberry Today Nail Lacquer #20 Fantasy

Hi everyone! The work dinner I went to on Monday was fun but I got a massive headache after coming home. I should have worn my hood when I was outside since I think the cold weather made me feel kind of dizzy after I got back home. I'm feeling better now so let's see today's nail polish swatch.

Dearberry Today Nail Lacquer #20 Fantasy is a orange creme. I only own a handful of orange polishes so I'm happy to have this one in my collection. Its a bright orange but I feel like its not overly bright so that makes it a bit more wearable on the nails. Formula and application was great on it too. This is two coats.

I'm really happy with this orange polish. I don't wear it nearly enough though but I'm going to try to since I feel like its pretty wearable on the nails. What do you think?

Born Pretty Z005 Ocean Illusion

Happy Monday Blues! I can't believe its almost the end of the year. I actually have a work dinner to attend today so that will be fun since were doing a little gift exchange as well. Anyways, for today's blue polish, I'm swatching a nail polish I received from Born Pretty Store to review so let's check it out.

Born Pretty Z005 Ocean Illusion is a sheer blue polish with duochrome micro glitter that shifts between blue and purple in it. This polish is pretty sheer so it will take quite a few coats to build up the coverage. I definitely recommend layering this polish since I feel like you can see the duochrome effect much better that way. I found the formula on this polish pretty good even though its a sheer color. I also really like that the brush on this polish is the wide rounded type of brush since I feel it makes application easier. This is four coats.

I'm very happy with this polish but its a shame that you can't really see the blue to purple shift here. Its definitely a color that stands out when you have it on. I'm usually not a fan of polishes that require a lot of coats but in this case, I don't mind it that much since the color really is awesome. What do you think?

November 2017 Product Empties

Here's my product empties post for November. I don't have a lot of product empties this month so let's get right into it.

1. Listerine Total Care Zero Mouthwash
My favorite mouthwash that I've been using for quite a while now. I've finished quite a few bottles of it already and plan to continue using it unless I find something better.

2. Rose Mine Dermaceutical Azulene Calming Gel
I was mainly using this at night but I think it would work much better in the morning. It kind of works and feels similar to aloe vera gel. Its a blue tinted gel and it really really cooling and soothing when applied to the skin. I liked it and would repurchase it to use for the Summer in particular.

3. Rivecowe Sebum Control Convenient Compact
This was my everyday face powder and I quite liked it. It doesn't have that much coverage but it kept my skin from appearing shiny/oily when I used it. It took me quite a while to use it all up too.

That's all for my product empties. Not a lot of products but I'm still happy that I finished a few things.

Blue with Purple Tribal Inspired Stamping

Happy Monday Blues! For today's blue manicure, I'm sharing some stamping I did using a stamping plate from Born Pretty Store I was sent to review. I own a lot of stamping plates from Born Pretty Store and I've always been pleased with them so I really did like this one as well. Let's see the manicure.

First, I used Essie Rock The Boat on all the nails. Next,  I stamped with Born Pretty Stamping Nail Polish #2603 with stamping plate Geometry BP-X36 from Born Pretty Store. You can use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off your entire order. Finished with a coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

Here's a closer look at the stamping plate Geometry BP-X36. I like the mix of designs as well as the different sizes ranging from full nail to smaller designs that you can stamp onto your nails. This stamping plate is great for someone who likes either floral or tribal/aztec inspired designs.

I used a clear stamper to get the image centered on the nails and I think I did a pretty good job. Really happy with how the images stamped onto my nails and I like the mix of designs on the stamping plate too. What do you think?
