Pretentious Radiance

Pretentious Radiance

 Hi Everyone! I am excited to tell you about this week's color of the week! Not only is this polish colorful, it's also good for you!

DerMElect Cosmetics has a special line of "Anti-Aging" nail treatments and color that are "The first peptide-infused nail treatments". I put this polish on before I did any research about the products and I have to admit...the polish felt good on my nails! Now that I have done the research I understand that the feel good sensation I was getting was from its specialized formula that is geared towards healthy nails. Literally, this polish is good for "ME". "Dermelect is the first cosmeceutical line jointly formulated by medical professionals and licensed estheticians." <-- How neat is that ?! 


The color I chose was Pretentious, which is a purple passion color. It went on smoothly, and after the second coat of polish it looked amazing! I topped it off with one of my topcoats and BAM - my nails looked hott. Just Sayin'.


Here is what DerMElect has to say about their line of nail colors:
"The ‘Cure’ in your ‘Mani’ is at your fingertips with the 1st peptide-infused color treatments for fragile, weak nails. Aptly named ME, Dermelect formulated and designed a 2-in-1 range of bright, beautiful crème shades coupled with a remarkable manicure extending formula. Infused with ProSina, a pure protein peptide extracted from New Zealand sheep’s wool, the lacquers deliver a fast drying, high gloss shine while providing an unequaled level of strength for stubborn nails to grow longer and more resistant to chipping, peeling and splitting. The first coat instantly bonds to the nail, while the second fuses with the base coat to create a flexible web of color that resists chipping and improves brittleness (patent-pending technology). The ME colors combine fast drying, high shine, and a healthy ‘green’ dose of vitamins, peptides, and moisture, offering a colorful solution to the contemporary woman’s beauty concern—aging hands and nails. For best results, two coats are recommended.
strengthens weak, brittle nails
restores flexibility
helps resist chipping and splitting
superior extended wear
water and detergent resistant
UV protected
DBP, Toluene & Formaldehyde free
cruelty free (no animal testing, ever!)"


I am more than pleased with this purchase of DerMElect polish! If you are interested in purchasing your own bottle of Pretentious or another DerMElect polish, check out their website or head on over to your local Ulta store - that's where I got mine. To find out more information about their other cosmetics, look here. 


As always, if you are having seriousl trouble with your nails, or have a nail ailment, I recommend that you see your family practitioner or podiatrist before attempting your own cures, but maybe mention DerMElect to your doctor and see if trying this polish is right for you? 


Also, don't forget to check out DerMElect's Nail Inspiration page! It has great idea for nail art and using your DerMElect polishes! If you have used some great polish lately, please share it with me! I would love to show off your nails on the blog!

Be Radiant!

The Radiant Phia

The Radiant Phia Hi Everyone! Julep has done it for me again. This week's color is a great shimmering purple! Phia is described as an "alluring orchid iridescent chrome" (there's that orchid theme again, yay!) is an amazing polish.  Because of the chrome-like effect of this polish, it makes it last even longer. Its almost as long lasting as your toughest glitter polish! What's even better is that it dried really quick too and was perfect even with two thin coats of color. Another win for Julep, my nails, and my time!! However, my favorite part of this polish is the fact that it has a slight green shimmer to it when you put it into the light. So pretty! So shiny! and So sophisticated too! If you want to get a bottle of Phia just check out  Julep's Website ! Sometimes you can even find the polish at your local Sephora or on QVC. If you have painted your nails with a great color, show them off! I would love to share your n

Keep That Callus

Keep That Callus First off, a callus is a thickened and hardened part of the skin or soft tissue, esp. in an area that has been subjected to friction. In regards to nail technology, most calluses that are seen in the salon are found on the bottoms of the heels, and sides of the feet and toes. Many common calluses are also found on pressure points on the bottoms of the feet. I always get  them on the backs and edges of my heels.  Sometimes, we notice that calluses cause us agitation or pain, and thus we wish to reduce them.  Have you ever gone into a discount nail salon and seen one of these tools used on your feet? At some nail salons, your pedicurist might offer to shave your calluses with a credo blade (that handheld device that looks like a cross between a razor and a vegetable peeler seen above). But, however tempting the allure of callus-free feet may be, I suggest you turn down the offer immediately! You see, in most states, having a pedicurist shave your calluse
