Bold, Bright Nail Beauty: New Fall Colors Revlon Colorstay - Crabtree & Evelyn

Revlon ColorStay Longwear nail enamel in a new fall color, Delicious!

Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel
Just in for fall! I picked up this new color in Revlon's ColorStay line. DELICIOUS!!! It's so vibrant that it reminds me of a bright, red delicious apple.  So autumn. What I like best about the new formula and shade is that it really wears a long time and the finish stays so bright and shiny for at least two weeks. Even more impressive is the finish. It's more like the "gel nails" but no curing light is needed.  Just two coats! The brush is flat and the jar contains a mixing ball. It goes on so easy and dries quickly. My favorite nail enamel now!

Neocell Beauty Bursts for strong, healthy nails.

NeoCell Beauty Bursts Collagen Chews
I've also given my nails a beauty treatment from the INSIDE. I've been taking NeoCell Beauty Bursts for more than a month now. After only a week, I could see my nails changing. They were growing faster and thicker. That's due to two of these little tasty chews having 2,000 mgs of hydrolyzed collagen 1 & 3. They are easy to take along so I pop a few in my bag when I'm on the go. These chews come in Chocolate Mint (yum!) and a fruit punch flavor that's sort of like a cherry Star Burst. They also contain hyaluronic acid vitamin C. Not only do they make your nails stronger but the collagen is amazing for your skin. Win-win!

Crabtree and Evelyn's Gardeners Hand Therapy Treats: Hand Cream & Nail and Cuticle Therapy

Crabtree and Evelyn joins Pecksniffs (of Brighton actually) as one of my favorite London fragrance houses. Before doing my manicure, I used their very rich Gardeners Nail & Cuticle Therapy. It softens and conditions the cuticle and nail bed with panthenol and keratin. The Gardeners Hand Therapy is equally nourishing and is something I like to wear under my gardening gloves for an extra treat. Both smell heavenly and are part of a larger gift set I received.

Crabtree & Evelyn: Gardeners Set

Going on vacation?  Take this little hand pampering spa along with you!

Vacation time is just the right time for a little TLC.  We often spend a lot of time and effort maintaining our face and neck.  What about your hands?  This very useful Gardeners Set from Crabtree & Evelyn was a very special anniversary gift but would also make an excellent splurge for yourself!  This is true even if you're not into gardening.

These products are the most deliciously scented creams and scrubs, reminding me of another old revered English fragrance house, Pecksniff's of Brighton.


Here are the elements included in the Gardeners Set:

Hand Recovery - This smaller 0.9 oz tube holds a very concentrated exfoliant that scrubs away dead, dry surface skin cells.  It's oil based so it does not strip the skin of its natural moisture.  In fact the FIRST ingredient is Macadamia Seed Oil.

Hand Therapy - A very rich, yet light cream which features as its main ingredient, Macadamia Nut Oil.  Also includes extracts of Rosemary, Sage and Cucumber.

Hand Scrub with Pumice - This larger tube is more useful for lifting embedded dirt from the skin.  Remember, this is a gardener's gift set so effective soil removal is going to be essential.  The second ingredient is volcanic Pumice but it also contains a good amount of honey and aloe vera.  

Nail & Cuticle Therapy - One of the most welcome additions to the set is this special cream for nails and cuticles.  The main ingredients in this product are glycerin and shea butter.  A little goes a long way and the recommendation is to apply it after gently pushing the cuticles back with an orange stick.
