BloomsBerry Hand Sanitizers, Nail Polish Removers Review

Hi guys,

Bloomsberry is a new Indian brand which has launched a range of hand care products which currently include hand sanitizers and nail polish removers.

With an effective yet unique formulation BloomsBerry is developing its each single drop to bring about a change in your life style.

Ingredients:

Variants available:

Green Apple Mojito
Spring Fizz
Fresh Blooms
Aqua Bliss
Blossom Bouquet
Purple Paradise

MRP: Rs.149/- for 29ml

To start with the packaging, it is super cute and so tiny that it makes it perfect to carry in your bag. The tiny beads and colorful sanitizers look very pretty and you get them in different variants, so you can choose what you like.

I loved the Aqua Bliss and Spring Fizz, fruity ones smelled a little sweet for my liking. These are definitely expensive than other sanitizers for the quantity, but you can feel the difference in quality when you use it. Hands feel softer and not drier which usually happens with sanitizers coz of the alcohol content.

They also claim to kill 9x more germs than normal sanitizers, so of course they have some proof for that. If you obsessed with hand sanitizers and like pretty ones in different variants, you will love these. Definitely recommend!

About the Nail Polish Removers:

  • Features castor oil and glycerine and won’t dry out cuticles.
  • Removes nail polish gently and evaporates without leaving any white residue
  • Formula is filled with vitamins which helps your nails grow stronger.

Bloomsberry introduces exclusive range of nail care products with its unique features and quality catering to individual nail requirements and problems.

Ingredients:

Variants available:

Nourishing Nails (Ocean Fragrance) – For Dry Nails
Strengthening Nails (Green Apple Fragrance) – For Weak/Brittle Nails
Acetone Free (Lemon Fragrance)- For Natural/Acrylic Nails
Nail Revival (Fragrance Free) – For Yellow Nails

MRP: Rs.149/- for 50ml

They come in a square white plastic bottle with grey cap packaging. I am glad these do not come in glass bottles which are very risky. The bottles are quite compact and small even though the quantity in each is 50ml, making them travel friendly too.

I love the fact that there is a different variant for every kind of nail. When I had got gel nail extensions done, I used the Acetone free one. I would be switching to the Strengthening Nails one now since my nails have become very weak and brittle after the extensions.

Even though there is one specific variant for dry nails, none of these nail polish removers are drying. Having tried 3-4 different brands, I can say this is by far the least drying nail polish remover brand.

But I don’t use these liquid removers much now, as I prefer either the nail polish remover pads or the sponge bottles to dip your nails in.

I would be really glad if Bloomsberry comes with different variants of nail polish remover pads and those sponge bottles. But if you prefer using the nail polish removers and are looking for something non- drying and meant for your nail type, these are must try. Highly recommend them!

Bloomsberry products are available on Flipkart and Amazon in various combos and at lower prices as introductory offers. Check out more at www.bloomsberry.in

Review: AcryGel Nail Extensions at Jean Claude Biguine

Review: AcryGel Nail Extensions at Jean Claude Biguine

Hi guys,

I got Acrygel Nail Extensions on the 20th  of August at the Jean Claude Biguine Salon at R City Mall. So you must be aware of acrylic nails and gel nails, AcryGel is the perfect combination of both. While Acrylic powder makes the nails look very stiff and fake, gel nails are too soft and don’t stay long enough. Acrygel picks up the best of both the worlds, it is neither very soft and nor too stiff, feels exactly like natural nails and stays long too.

In India, only Jean Claude Biguine does Acrygel nails yet, of course this is very popular outside India, and I see other salons catching it up soon.

A nail technician at Jean Claude Biguine attended me and started with the service. I shared with her my concern that I have tried gel nails before and it completely ruined my nail bed, so I would go with extensions. She told me this won’t harm the nail bed.

Step 1: Nails are cut, filed, buffed and cuticles and pushed and cleaned exactly like in a normal manicure.

Step 2: She applied extensions on my nails with glue one by one. Extensions start from half the nail bed and not the cuticles.

Step 3: The extensions are cut according to the desired length, buffed and filed. I went with square shape as my nails never stay square and I wanted to see how it looks on me.

Step 4: Then a mix of acrylic powder and gel is applied on the nails and the nails are kept under the UV light. This is done twice.

See how they look seamless and just like original

Step 5: Nails are again buffed and they look seamless and exactly match your natural nails by now.

Step 6: You can select any polish you like and change it later but only make sure you use an acetone free nail polish remover.

I went with French manicure since it stays for a long time and minor chipping doesn’t affect much. It’s been 15 days today and my nails still look amazing! The French mani is still there and looks good. I think I will keep it for 5-6 more days before changing the polish.

The extensions stay for about 1-1.5 months and then you need to get them removed at the salon when nails are overgrown. My nails grow pretty fast and I kept the nails and extensions short purposely.

Overall I am super happy with my nails. I do my regular activity and stuff I do with my normal nails and there hasn’t been any issue at all. I would have definitely gone for this at the time of my wedding had I known this earlier!

Duration: 3 hours

Price: Rs.3500/-

I absolutely recommend Acrygel nail/nail extensions. If you are someone who just cannot grow their nails or would like to try extensions just like that, go for Acrygel ones at JCB. Also I would recommend French manicure than normal polish coz it stays forever!!

Update: 3 of my nails came off in 22 days :/ I got all of them removed yesterday i.e. the 26th day coz it was looking very uneven and bad. Also my nails have lost a layer with the glue and are very thin and brittle right now though only the front half from where the extensions started. I hope they grow quickly coz right now they are so weak that they keep bending in any activity I do and that hurts the nail bed.

Have you tried nail extensions yet? What do you think of them?

P.S: Services were provided by JCB but that has not affected my review.

Revlon Manicure Essentials Kit Review, Photos

Hey first of all HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you…sorry for not posting from the last 2-3 days..I was unwell….yes unwell on new year 🙁
As I had said before my cousin from US got me the Bath and Body Works JCB Body Lotion and this Revlon manicure kit.

What the Company claims:  Compact kit for perfect manicures on-the-go. Includes four expert tools.
Everything you need for a professional manicure in an easily portable kit. Includes four expert tools for the perfect manicure–Dual–ended Cuticle Trimmer, Curved Blade Nail Clip, Compact Emeryl file for flawless shaping and a Buffer for a brilliant, natural shine. Deluxe nylon carrying case protects tools for easy transport.

  •  Dual–ended Cuticle Trimmer pushes back cuticles and keeps them neat.
  •  Nail Clip with curved blades safely trims nails.
  •  Compact Emeryl file shapes and smoothes nails quickly.
  •  Buffer creates a high gloss shine. Gentle enough to use everyday. 

Over 75 years of superior quality.Precision crafted, fully inspected to ensure exceptional performance.

It has lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects (but sadly valid only in US and Canada. 🙁 )

How to use:

  • First soak hands in warm, soapy water to prepare. 
  • To trim nails: Clip from each side of the nail towards the center. Do not cut below the nail line. 
  • To shape nails: Start with Emeryl file’s shaping side to shape nails. Follow with finishing side to smooth and shape. Always file in one direction to prevent splitting. 
  • To trim cuticles: Push cuticles back with contoured end of cuticle trimmer, then glide metal end (with V–tip facing up) along cuticle edge.
  • To buff nails: Remove all nail enamel before buffing. With the white surface, buff vigorously across the nail until stains and ridges are removed. Using the grey side, finish nails to a brilliant shine.

MRP: I am not aware as its a gift..but at international.drugstore.com it says Rs 260/-

We all know the uses of a nail clipper and filer as we are using it from a long time. Let me share with you the uses of a cuticle trimmer and buffer.

Cuticle is the protective seal between the nail plate and the skin. However, some people tend to have thick and rough cuticles. The cuticle skin gets thicker and also grows in a upward direction. In such cases, a cuticle trimmer can be used. However avoid cutting excessive cuticle skin as it can leave your nail at risk of infection.A cuticle trimmer is a nail care product which is used to trim rough, thick cuticles and hangnails. Thick cuticles give an unpleasant look; hangnails around the nails can catch clothes and cause a lot of pain. To solve this problem, you can get yourself a cuticle trimmer. However, a cuticle trimmer should be used occasionally as excessive trimming of cuticles can lead to infection. It also helps making the nails appear longer..especially for those who have short nail beds. But do not forget to soften the cuticles using oil or moisturiser before trimming them.

Buffer on the other hand gives a nice healthy sheen to the nails.A nail buffer is what is used to smooth out the nails and remove any pits and ridges – hence it buffs them up.

Coming to the kit..

Pros:

1. Its economical at this price.
2. Has the 4 necessary tools required the most,
3. Quality of the tools is damn good.
4. Comes with a pouch with separate holders.
5. Easy to carry around anywhere as the pouch would snugly fit in.

Cons:

1. I did not find any except the availability issue as I have not seen this in India..but if you happen to lay your hands on this…do get it…coz it would stay a long time with you..

Rating:

Quality- 5/5
Value for money-5/5
Availability-2/5

Overall rating-4.5/5

Would I buy it again: I would need to…but as a gift I would surely.

Have you tried this kit ? Which other brand have you used ?
