Lately I've really been into painting my nails. Not necessarily nail art like I used to always do. But just always keeping them shaped and painted and my cuticles pushed backI had a couple months where I just took a break and mostly rocked the naked look. But I love nail polish and I like my hands so much more when my nails have a fun color on them. So of course with being into my nails..I like to pick up stuff to take care of them. And that means I have a few things to review.
1. Ebelin Pumice Stone- Having dead skin on your heels is not a cute look. I don't usually have a problem but for some reason this summer I did. So I picked this up. It works. But it doesn't get everything super smooth. I didn't pay much. It seems to be the German drugstore bargain brand. It's OK. If you use it often it works. My heels are back to normal now though so I don't really use it as much. But I do keep it...just in case. But I wouldn't recommend it...nor buy it again! Soaking in Epsom salts will get you halfway there without the pumice stone.
2. Ebelin Nail Brush- So now that I'm into doing my own manicure...I like to get my nail scrub on. It helps a little with removing nail polish staining. So I went for this one. Because the wooden ones seem to be a little bit more sustainable than plastic. I'm really trying to not buy so much plastic. The first time I used it, split down the middle. It still does the job. But it should not be splitting like that.
I think the bristles are boar hair. Meh.
I do like that it has a side where you can really get under your nails because it come to a point. And the other flat side is good for scrubbing a bigger surface. But that split...so...no recommendation. And I don't think I will be buying anything else by the brand no matter how affordable it seems.
3. Revlon Nail Clippers- I'm one of those people that always looses nail clippers. I don't know where all the ones I have bought over the years have disappeared to. It seems like every time I turned around I was buying the 99 cent ones from Rite Aide. So I found myself in need of another pair. Of course. So I bought the Revlon ones. It wasn't too pricey. Maybe 2-5 dollars. They are made in China. And they work. They don't leave snags. But they don't seem to clip cleanly either. It's hard to explain. They do the job. But they aren't the best.
I'll just keep using them until I inevitably lose them.
And that's all for today!
