Sally Hansen Complete Care 7-in-1 Nail Treatment
Okay, so I may not be the ultimate minimalist, but one of my goals for 2016 was to cut down on the excess of all the ‘stuff’ in my life. This is why I like products with multiple purposes, you don’t need five different things cluttering up your vanity if one can do the job. This nail treatment by Sally Hansen is one such product, now taking up prime beauty space position. Both a top and base coat, it also helps nails appear shinier, stronger, more moisturised and brighter with the ridges filled. What’s more, I saw a noticeable difference in the condition of my nails in three days. - Kelly

 
Avril Lavigne may have rocked chipped nails in her Sk8er Boi days but it is not a look I seem to be able to pull off. This is why I am on the eternal search for a polish that lasts - and it seems my search is over with the discovery of CND Creative Nail Design VINYLUX Weekly Polish. The lacquer strengthens its resistance to chips over time, offering long wear and a high-shine finish. The added bonus? The self-adhering system incorporated eliminates the need for a base coat, and the top coat just gets stronger when exposed to natural light. - Sarah


If I’m being perfectly honest, I am very bad at keeping my nails looking immaculate in any way, so more often than not I’m sporting a very untidy manicure. This is not a good look so the Elegant Touch Express press-on nails are perfect for me! The process was nice and simple; cleaning the nails and using the prep wipe, finding the correct nail size and then just pressing them onto the nail for a few seconds. After those three simple steps voila! I had the picture-perfect manicure. Another plus is they are easy to peel off so the removal process is a breeze. - Laura

 
​The older we get, the busier and more expensive life becomes. Somedays I feel like this ‘adulting’ thing really is a chore, so anything that saves me both time AND money is enough to make me cry tears of happiness. The essence gel nails at home mini LED lamp makes me cry tears of happiness. This extremely easy to use and portable LED lamp can be plugged into any USB port (your laptop, phone, smart TV, car - literally anywhere!) making any space of your house or work a manicure station just like your regular nail salon. The lamp turns off after 10 seconds so you know exactly when to move on to the next finger, and when all is done, you’re ready to resume adulting with a shiny gel manicure and a saving of at least $30 in your pocket! - Sophia
