A while ago I was sent a tube of True Organic of Sweden All You Need Is Me cream. This is a multi purpose cream that can be used for a lot of things from dry cuticles to red baby bottoms. I’ve been using and testing this for a good time now and I’m very impressed.

Blue Essies for winter with a hint of gold
There’s still a good amount of snow on the ground here in Finland so it’s a perfect time of the year to wear blue polishes. I just always associate blue polish with winter. I did another very quick and easy nail art thingy too. That’s all I have time for nowadays. My youngest one is a real life human tornado and when he is up it is completely impossible for me to do my nails. So quick and easy manis it is :)

Dots and stripes – Quick and easy nail art
So now that the nail growing project is fully started and I have my natural nails back I also have to get used to the short length. This is quite a change from the long pointy gel nails I had. I usually hate this part with short and thin nails and don’t want to even take nail photos. This time I have decided to enjoy these nubbins and do some nail art too.

Back to natural nails 2016 – First IBX treatment
So the nail growing project continues. All the UV-gel is off my nails now and they are thin as paper. I’ve been hearing great things about IBX treatment when it comes to damaged nails so I decided to give it a try. I had my first appointment the other day and this post is about my first impressions with IBX.
Born Pretty Store review – Round stamping plate holder
I’m not a big fan of stamping but I still had quite a few round stamping plates floating around my nail art drawers. So I thought it was about time I got a holder for them. I saw this stamping plate holder on Born Pretty Store selection and got it for review.

Back to natural nails 2016 – Nail growing project begins once again
So here we are again with yet another nail growing project. I just got tired of fixing the gel layover and I simply miss the feeling of natural nails. I filed all the length off my nails so I can get used to these nubbins and I still have the gel layover on them, for now. Next weekend I’m going to remove all the gel and I’m going for my first ever IBX treatment on Monday, a week from now.

Avon True Color Perfectly Matte lipsticks
Avon just launched their True Color Perfectly Matte lipsticks here in Finland. They are selling 15 gorgeous shades and I bought sample sizes of all of them cos I wanted to test how they are and see what the colors are really like. I must say, I love these! They are creamy yet still they are matte. They apply like a dream and don’t dry my lips. Staying power is very good considering the creamy texture. I just love them!

White and red polka dots
So we are back to square nails. I’ll miss the claws but I just have no time to maintain them right now so I’m taking the easy way out. I actually made these longer at first and then, probably for the first time in my life I thought “hmm, I want my nails to be shorter” :D so I filed some more length off and here we are.
