Dry, Brittle, Peeling nails....

Unfortunatly this is what I suffer from it sounds gross, It isn't actually as gross as it sounds (although on some it is) but it is definatly frustrating because no matter how long I stop biting my nails for they don't grow because the tips peel which makes them weak & they either break or have to be cut down. But I think I may have found my saving grace in the shape of....

Quimeca Alemana Nail Harder

I read about this is a blog (I can't for the life of me remember whoes) & it sounded really good so I read up on it & it sounded really good. I looked online for UK sellers but it's ridiculously priced over here at £21 on Amazon so I tried ebay & found an international seller & managed to get it for £6.56 a bargain imo. I have now been using it just under a week & I can already tell a difference my nails are less harder & less bendy. I think I need to use it for at least a month to see if it stops the peeling but if you just suffer from soft, bendy nails I would definatly reccomend it.

Heres what it say's about the product....

Quimica Alemana Nail Hardener  .47 FL OZ

Excellent Colombian nail fortifier that besides forming a protective barrier prevents chipping, peeling and splitting.  Apply once weekly to create a protective barrier that prevents and corrects breaking, thinning, and peeling of the nail. Instant results with each application.  DIRECTIONS:  Shake gently.  Apply to clean, bare nails.  When you start its use brush a thin coat from the middle of the nail toward the tip.  Once you nails are hard brush a thin layer over the whole nail, avoid cuticles.  Use every week.

 

INGREDIENT:  Tosylamide, Formaldehyde Resin, Formaldehyde, Camphor, Nitrocellulose, Castor Oil, Butyl Alcohol, MEK, Acetone, Ethly Acetate, Butyl Acetate, Amyl Acetate

There is also a little picture to help you ensure you are getting the correct product

Here are my nails as from today.....

My Middle & Index fingers are by far the worst of the bunch they are the main culprits for peeling and breaking they are always my shortest nails. My index finger & pinky fingers are the best at growing & actually grow pretty well. & my thumb basically does what it wants some weeks it grows, some weeks it peels, some weeks it breaks it's very inconsistent lol. But Fingers crossed that soon all my nails will be long & healthy :)

Let me know If you use, tried or are going to buy this product and how things are going for you.

I'm also scared of getting old Ironically I'm not at all scared of dying not that I want to it just doesn't scare me what does scare me is people I love dying  I hate the thought of having no-one left...On a lighter note these stupid blue cuppa soup hands make me freak a leek aswell.

11.) I absolutely LOVE  anything Crime or Supernatural themed, especially Supernatural (I love Dean Winchester) Medium, True Blood, Vampire Diaries, All CSI's Dexter, NCSI, Law & order SVU

11 Questions About Me

1.) What is your best childhood memory?

How lame is it that not one memory sticks out in my head? I honestly don't know.

2.) Why did you start blogging?

Because everyone else does it. Lol no it's a longish story, Actually no-one I know blogs to my knowledge & the majority of them don't even know what a blog is never mind that I have 4 of them. The reason it started is I'm a Sims addict! I used to read legacy stories (If you don't know what a legacy story is click here) & decided to start my own Sims story Confessions Of A Golddigger when my game crashed I tried to do a few legacy stories but could never get past Generation one so I stopped for awhile then I literally  just stumbled across a fashion/lifestyle blog one one day & enjoyed it. I started reading a few & thought 'HEY I CAN DO THAT!' & low & behold on the 31st July 2011 Life in Leopard Print was born. It was about a year later that I realised my Nail polish obsession was taking over & I started this blog,  Inbetween this time I also developed a love for Decoden & DIY so I started Deco Dazzle which doesn't get posted on as much as I'd like but whenever I do/make anything worth posting it gets put on there & hopefully there will be more posts when my supplies arrive. I guess this is my main blog now as I post on it alot more regularly than my others but I do still post on all other blogs except Confessions Of A Goldigger.

3.) What is the best compliment anyone has given you? What was the worst thing anyone said to you?

I tend not to believe compliments favouring critism as more realistic but non of either really stand out as amazing. Although I love compliments on nails those are the one really remember

4.) If a make-up collection were named after you, what brand would make it, what would the collection be called, and what would the story behind the collection be?

I feel that I suck at this tag this I have no memories, compliments & no ideas for a make-up collection. A nail polish collection would have been more up my street lol as I'm not that into make-up. Dont get me wrong I wear it, I couldn't live without it but its more of a necessity than a love. My collection would be affordable, long lasting and in a large range of colours to suit all skin types.

5) If you had to choose between having your nails one color for the rest of your life, what color would it be?

Black!...No white!....wait...no...Black....actually white? maybe or would black be better? Argghhh too hard they'll have to be black & white forever lol

6.) Do you take vitamins for your hair, skin, and nails? If so do you see a difference?

I've recently started I've noticed a small difference in my skin but I haven't been taking them that long so I'll give it a month

7.) What type of shoes do you wear all summer long?

Sandals & FlipFlops to show off my pretty toenails :)

8.) Are you more likely to buy things on sale, or are you willing to splurge?

Both! I'm a clothes whore & shopaholic every now & again I'll splurge my last 2 big spends was a dress for Topshop at £65 & a pair of UGG boots at £200. The majority of the time I go for cheaper bargains & I LOVE Ebay!

9.) If you had to choose between having a mullet for a month, or no lashes and eyebrows (not even fake ones!) for a month which one would you choose?

I'm unsure on this one I may be able to pull off a mullet but I not sure about no eyebrows or eyelashes with my current hairstyle (I have a fringe) I could probably deal with no eyebrowse or lashes

10.) Where is the best place you’ve ever travelled to?

America Disney Land, The land where dreams come true lol, I was about 14/15 when I went & I've wanted to go back ever since I'm currently trying to convince my boyfriend that we should go

11.) Do you collect anything?

I am a Hoarder with a capital H I collect everything. My main obsession is Nail Polish I have well over 100 bottles but I've  started to amass a rather large Lipstick collection, I also collect boxes all shapes & sizes mainly the type that expensive perfumes come in such as Guerlain Insolence my mum always buys it and the gift sets come in really pretty boxes.

Weekend Nails - Week 10 - Pretty Pastel Polkadots

I have to say I was rather upset when I removed this polish because it just looked soooo cute! But stupid work & their stupid rules meant it had to be removed.

I've been craving the pastel look lately & as I'm rather poor at the minute I decided to do the next best thing & make my very first Franken polish! I used Sally Hansens - Blue Me Away & Rimmels - London Clouds & an old empty mini bottle of Seche Vite to make this pretty colour....

It didn't turn out as pastel as I would have like but it is really pretty & summery...

Aren't they adorable! I love polkadots especially in bright colours.

I used 1 coat of OPI's Alpine Snow Matter & 1 coat of the blue it worked perfectly & only need one coat & the coverage was perfect I love how they turned out.

Polkadots will also be incorporated into next weeks nails as I'm going to see Disney on Ice YAY so expect some Disney themed nails next week :). I will also be announcing the rules of my giveaway & the prizes within the next week so keep your eyes peeled :)
