Essence - Pretty Fast - 01 Quick'n Pink - nail polish review

  

The nail polish made in France offers an impeccable depth of color. It dries literally for seconds. If you are in a hurry - that`s the perfect choice for you! It is applied in two coats if you want a high coverage finish. My assessment - 5/5 stars for this product. I strongly recommend it.

Nail polish is dangerous !!!

What happens to your body after you apply nail polish? Watch the following video to find out:

To tell you the truth, at the moment I don`t have any nail polish on my nails and it feels great. A few days ago, before I discovered the dangers from nail polish, I had. But it was getting frustrating to apply cheap nail polish on as it isn`t long lasting and I couldn`t get through the day without damaging the looks of it. Why you should stop using it at all like I did?

1. It`s waste of money.
2. It`s dangerous to your health.
3. It`s time consuming to apply it (even though not much). Time is money, you know.
4. I don`t believe there`s chemical-free nail polish. Don`t believe the adds which claim there are bio nail polishes. Nail polish is nail polish. And it is dangerous. End of story.

Benefits if you don`t use it:

1. You will save some money.
2. Your health will improve.
3. You won`t waste time applying it.
4. You won`t have to worry about damaging the looks of it. You can go about your chores around the house without this worry on your mind.

Some Beauty Advice

 1. My hair is straight. But I`m cool with that because it looks better that way. I use shampoo and no conditioner as it is not dyed right now. The only experiment I did with color is when I used some ombre effect for my ends but it looked extremely extravagant to the point of ridiculous. Since then I haven`t dyed it although in some pictures it looks as though it has a red hue. My natural hair color actually varies depending on when I had washed it and on the light, it is shown under. When you curl your hair if you do so I recommend only one method - with hair rollers and then to preserve the effect - spray it with hair lacquer. Any other method will be just more harmful and might damage your hair in the long run.

 2. Face. Well, I`ve tried almost everything but I`m no fan of applying make-up regularly and I don`t recommend you do so yourself. But if you want to change your looks fast I will tell you how. Today I bought foundation (something I haven`t done in a long time). It is pretty nice because it has a matting effect and it is oil-free - a very handy feature if you have oily skin like mine. It wasn`t even that expensive. Some 5-6$. If you prefer, for a better effect and smoother application of the foundation you can buy base as well. I haven`t (at least not today). Be sure that you don`t buy foundation the color of which is darker than your face, if anything, it`s better to be lighter than darker. 

 3. Eyes. I use two types of eye-liner - one with a soft brush for the line right above the eyewashes and one with a hard one for the finishing effect outside of the eyelid. Then I put on mascara with a double brush - one side for elongating the lashes and the other for volumizing by creating more space between one and each lash. For my eyebrows, I use only pencil and occasionally I clean up some unruly small hairs which grow out of the way I prefer to have my eyebrows. Now, I`d like to warn you - don`t ever shave them and draw them back on - it looks utterly ridiculous. I`ve tried it. There`s also this danger of erasing them by accident and people might look at you funny. 

 4. Nails. This season it is trendy to have long pointy nails with floral decorations. To my nice surprise, I have exactly such nails. My nails are all black right at that moment but I regularly put on a flower or two. Tomorrow we have elections in my country so I must put on my best nail decorations. How do I do that? You will need already polished nails, some nail decorations, and topcoat nail polish. I have already put black so all it`s left of me to do is to put the decorations and then apply top coat nail polish as well, and then just let them dry. That`s all.
