Nail Art Brushes with a Dot Tool are great for beginners & professionals


These Nail Art Brushes Set come with 7 brushes and a dot tool. The brushes vary from a tiny, slim brush to a short, flat-top brush. There is also the dot tool, which is handy for dotted designs and for dragging colors. The brushes themselves hold their shape, are easy to use and to clean. I mainly do large designs, but even the line brush is useful for placing thin lines between colorblocks. There are 2 flat-top brushes which are great for applying and leveling acrylic powders. I love this set because there is such a variety of brushes for many uses. It gives me all I need in one complete set. The handles are a larger end tapering down to the brush end. They are painted in a design that reminds me of Chinese brush painting. Overall, I recommend this Nail Art Brush set from AStorePlus.

UNi 100% Rosehip Seed Oil is 100% Wonderful

I have used Rosehip Seed Oil for many of my blends for hair, skin, nails and scalp. The UNi Rosehip Seed Oil is especially great to use because the Rosehips are Organic, Fragrance Free and very fresh. This rose-colored oil spreads easily and is absorbed quickly. It moisturizes, heals and protects delicate skin. It also revives limp or frizzy hair, allowing more manageability, shine, and style. It also reduces dryness and itchiness of the scalp. It works well to soften and reduce calluses on the feet and to soften cuticles and rehydrate and protect nails. Rosehip seed oil is very economical as only a small amount is needed. Generally, when I use this in my blends, I measure in drops and it provides it's benefits. It is quite a dry oil, so it's not greasy and will absorb into the skin/hair/scalp/nails.

One of my recipes is for my Hair Helper. I start with:
20 drops of argan oil,
mix in 10 drops of UNi Rosehip Seed Oil,
pierce and add the contents of 1 Vitamin E capsule,
add 3-5 drops of essential fragrance oil, or vanilla, or scented oil or even a few drops of perfume,
add 1 pinch of pearlized mica powder (you can even use a light colored eye shadow, but only a tiny pinch as this will provide a pearlescent shine to the hair)
I shake well before using and only use a few drops at a time, applied to my palm, then both palms are rubbed together and smoothed lightly on hair and scalp.
This recipe can also be diluted with fractionated coconut oil to make a shine spray.
I make up this recipe for my friends and put it in small bottles to share.

Overall I definitely recommend UNi's Rosehip Seed Oil for all the benefits to skin, hair and nails and it's usefulness in blends for the whole body. Even when used by itself it is a hydrating, healing and soothing product without harmful chemicals or additives.

Shea Butter Wisdom's 100% Pure Organic, Unrefined, Raw Shea Butter Is So Beneficial


I have learned that shea butter is one of the best ingredients in body and face creams, hair conditioners, and skin treatments. Shea Butter Wisdom's Organic, Raw, Unrefined Shea Butter is very pure, which means nothing is added to it and there is no chemical processing. Shea butter actually contains beneficial vitamins A, D, E, and F which combine to improve the hydration and healing of skin or scalp. I love to use shea butter in many of my "concoctions" to treat the skin, hair, nails and scalp. I have been very successful in using this Shea Butter because it is so pure and preservatives are not needed. One of my favorite recipes is what I call my Whipped Shea Butter Heal recipe, which is:

Prepare the Shea Butter by making sure it is at room temperature. This allows easy whipping. I do not advocate heating shea butter as that can cause graininess and separation.
Measure 4 oz. room temperature shea butter into a small bowl. Mash the shea butter with a fork. Add 2 Tablespoons of a base oil, such as olive oil, argan oil, or fractionated coconut oil. Continue to mash in this oil until the mixture is lightweight. Add 10 to 20 drops of essential oil, such as lemon, peppermint, cinnamon, lavender or even vanilla. For even more impact, you can add the oil from 1-2 vitamin E capsules. After each addition, continue to mash, then whip the butter. Add a pinch of mica pearlescent powder, such as ivory eyeshadow. This gives a pearlescent hue to the finished butter. Continue whipping the butter with the fork until it becomes very light and fluffy. Drop the butter into a container and it is ready to apply to the skin or use with any hair conditioner. This is my favorite body butter and it is great to apply to the legs or arms, especially during winter months when the skin can get dry and flakey. This body butter helps to hydrate, heal, and seal the moisture in the skin. I definitely recommend Shea Butter Wisdom's Organic Shea Butter for all skin, hair, nails and scalp treatment. It will heal, protect and moisturize your body.

You can purchase this on Amazon.com.

ISA Professional Organic Extra Virgin Argan OIl For Hair, Skin and Nails


I have used products from ISA Professional before and have liked all of them. This Organic Argan Oil is no exception. This lightweight amber Argan Oil spreads easily and absorbs quickly. It is not greasy, sticky or oily on the skin. I also mix 2 dropperfulls of the oil in my hair conditioner so my hair and scalp benefit with every time I shampoo and condition. The great thing about Argan Oil is that a little goes a long way. One or two drops does all 10 of my nails and cuticles. If I am styling my hair and need a bit more shine and manageability, I put just 3 drops in my palms and rub my hands together and then through my hair. This is also a great nighttime treatment for my face and neck. Again, using only a few drops covers my face, chin and neck area. I wake the next morning with soft, smooth skin that stays hydrated. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles. The best part about this product is that it is 100% Argan Oil, there is nothing else, and this is Organic Argan Oil, making it free of any pollutants, fillers, chemicals or additives. I definitely recommend ISA Professional Organic Argan Oil for all over body happiness.

goPure Naturals Rosehip Oil has a variety of beauty uses for skin, hair and nails


Certified organic Rosehip Oil by gopure naturals comes in a 4 oz. amber glass bottle with an eyedropper. The golden liquid is protected from oxidation or contamination by pollutants. It is cruelty free. The Rosehip Oil comes from Chile and is bottled in the USA. To apply I simply place a few drops on my fingertips and gently pat onto my face. I have also used a cotton ball and a folded piece of tissue. It really helps hydrate my skin and ease any tightness due to dryness. I have also used it on scratches to fade their appearance after healing. In my shampoo and conditioner I've added 1 dropperful. This really hydrates and softens my hair and leaves it more manageable. I am impressed with how well it absorbs. It is not greasy or oily on the skin or hair. It has a very minimal scent. It also decreases the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles. Of course it has other benefits. It can reduce the appearance of stretch marks and acne scarring, reduce redness and other skin discoloration, improve sun spots, and moisturize nails and cuticles. This essential oil can be used full strength or can be added to lotions, creams, serums and hair products. I used it for all these uses and can say that this particular product works well without any other chemicals or strong scents. It even retains it's benefits after cleansing, keeping my skin soft, smooth and dewy. While your results may not be exactly like mine, I do recommend this product to improve skin, nail and hair appearance and texture.

North Coast Argan Oil, Certified Organic and Pure


Ingredients: Organic Argan Oil. The Argan Oil in this product is shipped from Morocco and bottled in the USA. It is fragrance free and not tested on animals. It comes in an amber glass bottle with pump.

The Product: Argan Oil is fabulous for hair, helping it to look shiny and healthy. But it is also great for the skin on the face and hands, moisturizing and soothing parched skin. It can also be used as a massage oil. The North Coast Argan Oil is fantastic because it is certified organic by both the USDA and the ICO. It is a very pure argan oil. Only a few drops are needed to apply it to the skin, hair or nails. It spreads easily and absorbs well. I use it after showering and shampooing when my hair is still damp. After applying I let my hair air dry. It looks great and maintains the healthy glow and is very manageable. On my skin, it softens and hides fine lines and wrinkles. It also hydrates and keeps my skin moisturized. On my nails, it adds luster and shine and keeps the cuticles soft. I would definitely recommend this Argan Oil as it is so pure and organic and really does have visible benefits.

Pure Body Naturals Argan Oil is Pure Perfection for Hair, Skin, and Nails

Ingredients: Organic Virgin Cold-Pressed Argan Oil

The Product: This 100% certified organic argan oil comes in a large 4 oz. amber glass bottle with an eye dropper. This keeps the product fresh and reduces contamination and oxidizing. The oil is silky smooth and applies easily. Only a small amount is needed and then it should be gently massaged into the hair, skin or nails. Immediately there is a soothing moisturizing, with dryness disappearing as the product is absorbed. I used this product for the dry ends on my hair and it worked very well and actually continued working even after I washed and conditioned my hair. It kept my dry ends from becoming frizzy and improved the overall texture. I also began using this Argan Oil on my winter-dry feet. It softened the calluses and kept my heels from cracking due to the dryness of the winter weather. With continued use my calluses seemed to shrink and become more like the surrounding skin. I plan to continue using it to prepare my feet for wearing summer sandals. A nice side benefit was that as I was applying the Argan oil to my hair and skin, it was also being absorbed by my nails and hands. Softness returned to my chapped hands and they seemed to heal. My cuticles softened and even my nails seemed less dry. I also used the Argan Oil on dry patches of my skin and face. It seemed to remove the dryness and even the slight wrinkles and tightness of my skin. This product is imported from Morocco and packaged in the USA. One warning is that the product, argan oil, is derived from tree nuts, so if you have nut allergies you may need to use caution. It is not tested on animals and is cruelty free. Once opened, the product remains fresh for 12 months. While your results may not be exactly like mine, I enjoyed using this product to repair my hair, skin and nails and do recommend it.
