Nail-Aid 1st Acetone Power Gel Review


Hello everybody! Today, I have decided to review a product that I have recently purchased from Walmart for around $4. If you couldn’t tell from the title this product is 1st Acetone Power Gel by Nail-Aid. I bought the one specifically made for glitter and nail art in hopes that it would make removing my glitter nails easier. Sadly, that wasn’t the case.

The product says that you don’t need any cotton balls and you don’t have to scrub your nails, all you need to do is dip them into the gel, let it sit for four minutes, and sweep it off with a paper towel. That sounds amazing, right! I was so excited to use this, so when my friend came over I tried it out. The first thing I noticed is this gel literally took all the heat from my finger. Gel is cold, I know, but this gel made my finger so so SO cold and my finger cramped up; it was a horrible feeling. I don’t think that my skin is extremely sensitive to temperature, but if yours is and you want to try this product, avoid contact with skin.

I survived the whole four minutes (somehow) and proceeded to rub off the gel. It worked, but only on parts of my nail, mainly the middle bit and even there some glitter was left behind. The gel left all the glitter near my skin and cuticle still on even though I know that my whole nail was covered. At first I thought, maybe I just missed those spots or maybe I should have waited a bit longer than it said. However, I tried again later and I got the same result.


In conclusion, I don’t think buying products like this is worth it. This product was so strong and probably very damaging to the nail. I don’t think it is as effective as it could be, maybe the ones made for dark polishes work ok. What I do when I remove glitter polishes (now that I’ve learned my lesson) is I hold the cotton ball on my nail for like 5 minutes and let the nail remover soak in then rub the glitter off my nail. It isn’t as horrible as some people make it and I’d much rather do that than buy an extra product I don’t really need. If you’d like to try this product feel free to do so or if you’ve had a different experience please let me know. See you on Sunday for a happier post lol. BYYEEE

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself.  The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a bett

Hello 2017

2016 has finally ended ( finally ) and now it's time for a fresh start. I've been looking at old photos and trying to remember all of the good stuff that has happened in the pile of garbage that was the past year. I posted a whole sappy caption on my personal Instagram ( x ) and then I started thinking... What are my plans for this year? I haven't thought about it at all; I didn't even think 2016 was ever going to be over. However, I think I have some goals. First I want to look at my 2016 Best Nine from my nail Instagram ( x ) Apparently I only posted 19 photos this year yikes. Sorry that that happened I kind of feel bad about it. I really love my blog and I want to do A LOT more with it. I'll talk about that in a second though because next I want to restate my goals for 2016 that I wrote. Goals for 2016 1.       Study: I slacked off this first semester with my school work and I think I could have done better. I really want to try this semester and next
