REVIEW: Nubar Nu Nail strengthener

Nubar Nu Nail Strengthener

Nubar Nu Nail Strengthener (13.95 CND for 0.5 fl oz) is a growth strengthener treatment. The instructions on the box are put one coat of Nu Nails on clean nails, then reapply daily for one week without removing any of the treatment or cleaning nails, until the nails feel strong and healthy. After one week, you clean your nails and improvement should be visible, the packaging says. As your nail condition improves, the box advises that you apply every third day on nonpolished nails. For polished nails, you use Nu Nails as a base coat. I will follow this, so that it will be a true test. So far what Im seeing is that it goes on quite smoothly, and gives a healthy shine to your nails. It dries in about 1 min.

My lovely nails before.

My nails after about 3-4 weeks:

Did it help?

No! My nails were still very very weak and peeled like crazy, it was like any base coat on my nails. My nail length is from it growing naturally, it didnt help at all, if it had strengthed they would have been twice the length. I guess Im just gonna have to use it as a basecoat to finish it up, inless someone else wants to try if it works for them or whatever, I guess I could swap it :/

REQUESTED: My moms nail tutorial

The look we are doing today is above, heres what you need:

Mix these two colors together. Picture below is them mixed:



 









 Heres how to do it:

First glue the right sized tip for your finger on your nail

Dip your brush into your monomer (cnd rentention), and then into your acrylic powder. Place a bit in your dual system form, and then dip into your mylar glitter. Place the glitter into your form and then place another layer of acrylic powder on top.

Place the dual system form on your finger, and press down for about 20 seconds.



Clean out the goop from around the nail and underneath the free edge.



Slowly wiggle the form off, and let it pop off and reveal your nail. Then file to your desired length and shape. Then apply a gel top coat and cure for the amount of time the product says.

Any questions? I really like these dual system forms, they seem to make everything that much easier.


Stay beautiful,

Nail Haul =)

So other then sephora, I got some nail stuff. Mom bought me a couple of things, not sure what the occasion was but she did. I bought most of the stuff myself though.

This is the entire haul.



Nubar 2010, the flakie polish that seems to be on everyones wishlist right now. I have that on my nails over top China Glaze Little drummer boy in case anyone is wondering.

OPI Show it and Glow it (From the burlesque collection)

Nubar Purple Rain Glitter, looks better on then in the bottle.

Sally Hansen Recover nail rehab system. Aparently very good for extremly brittle nails, and when you get fake nails off to put on. A three step program, havent tried this yet.

Sally Hansen 14 day nail shield. Used for cracks in nails to patch, like silk wraps. At least this is what the lady mentioned to my mom.

Broadway Nails in 54136. They are black, silver and yellow strips of color and then small black dots on the tips. Comes with glue.

A little hard to see but they are revlon nails in 91097 stella, and they are a small silver tip with a bit of silver glitter and some black line detail.

These are broadway nails in 01791, and what they are is a off white/silver tip with white line detailing and some cute white stars.

Som swatchs all are the same combination, just in different lights. The first two are nubar 2010 over (from left to right) CG Ruby deer, Jolly Holly, and little drummer boy. The next one is OPI Show it and Glow it and then the one you can barley see is Nubar purple rain glitter.

Looks like real life in this picture^
