Review: Aveniro Glass Nail Files

Hi Guys! 

Today I have a special review for you. I was recently asked by a company called Aveniro if I would be interested in trying their glass nail files to review. Of course I said yes because nail files are an integral part of my nail care routine, so to try something new sounded great. My only experience with glass nail files prior to this was with a set of files I purchased from Amazon (shipping from China) that contained five small files, all the same size and grit. They were okay, but they were pretty small and the width was a little narrow for my liking so I found myself reaching for my tried and true cardboard emery board from Sally's instead. The Aveniro files, however, have become my new favorite filing tool. The thing that sets glass nail files apart from regular files is that they don't shred the nail the way the traditional cardboard files do. I would always be a little irritated that I would file and shape my nails down to where I wanted with my emery board, only to have little burrs remaining that I would still have to take care of. With glass nail files you get a very pure, clean file, which is great. So, let's get into the review.

Review: California Mango-Mango Magic Cuticle Oil

Hi Guys!

Today I have a review of the California Mango-Mango Magic Cuticle Oil. I heard about this oil from Nicole/Young Wild and Polished on YouTube so when my bottle of Essie's Apricot Cuticle Oil ran out I decided to go ahead and try it out. I love cuticle products, so I was really excited to get my bottle. I purchased mine from Amazon (here's a link) for about $8 and free shipping, but I think the regular retail is about $12-$13. I believe you can also purchase it at Sally's Beauty Supply. I bought the 1oz. bottle, which I was very happy about because the Essie oil is only 0.5oz. and it retails for $8.50. It is also available in a smaller size (0.25oz), but for me the 1oz. bottle was perfect.
