If you are looking for a way to waste $9.99, look no further than this nail scrub. I bought this about 2 days ago. I like trying out new nail/cuticle maintenance things and this looked interesting. Plus there was no price sticker on it..or else I probably would have left it right there in the store. $9.99 is way overpriced.

Charcoal is popping up in everything-scrubs, soaps, masks..and even nail scrubs. I knew that hand scrubs were a thing...but nail scrub? Not necessary but might be fun little self care thing to add to the routine.
If it worked. I was able to do about 7 nails when the tube stopped up and would no longer dispense. It doesn't come out anymore so I would probably have to cut it open to use. Which is not cool, especially at the price point.
Packaging fail.
Before that happened..I was able to tell there is nothing really special about it. The little silicone brush doesn't really do a good job of scrubbing. The sugar particles are too big and tend sit on the side of the nail or cuticle part you are trying to scrub. Overall it just felt like a big waste of time.. And my nails weren't resurfaced, and cuticles still needed attention. And also slight staining from my nail polish was still there.
It does have a perfume smell, but you really can't smell it unless you put it right under your nose.
They recommend using it everyday..but just trying it the first time and seeing the amount of time it took to scrub ( and it still didn't scrub), even if it did work, who has the time?
I will probably end up cutting it open and just using it as a hand scrub to get rid of it because I'm too lazy too take it back.
