Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Oh, how I love to receive beauty products in the mail to review. I was sent this very nice bag of a couple of goodies a few weeks ago. I'm only writing about one of the products shown here (box on the left). I will write about the other product in another post.
This is a Gold Elements Nail Care Kit (Supreme)

My Thoughts on This Product
This may be hard to believe, but I've honestly never gone to a nail salon and had a manicure. NEVER. Not once. I try to stay away from all of the airborne chemicals and I just like to try and do things myself. I'm not saying I would never go to have one done, I just wouldn't want to go too often.
So, yeah, I was thrilled to try this product out on my hands and nails!
This product works so well on my hands. I'm including quite a few pictures of my nails before and after because I want to share just how fantastic this product is for hands and nails.

| This is a BEFORE picture. Yes, my nails are naturally long and pretty healthy, but that's thanks to all of the veggies and healthy foods I eat and the Spirulina that I take on a regular basis. My nails are not filed here but they do naturally have a bit of a square shape, so they are easy to file when I do. |
STEP #1:Here is a filed nail (filed straight across the top).
STEP#2: I also buffed it with the gold side of the buffer. If you've ever used a nail buffer before, then you are aware that there are 3 sides to use. This was after using the rough part of the buffer that files and smoothes them out first.
I ended up filing it a little shorter after this.
STEP#3: This is after using the gray side of the buffer which slightly polishes it out a little more.
STEP #4: This is after using the white side of the buffer. It makes them look clean and super polished. I couldn't believe just how shiny it made each nail. Wow.
Here is a picture of another one of my completely buffed nail. Not edited. It really did add that gleam in the light.
Here is a close up of all my nails after the buffing. Still a few more steps to go though.
STEP #5: I applied a drop of the cuticle oil and massaged into each cuticle and nail.
Here is what my nails looked like after the cuticle oil.
STEP #6: Then I used some of the Hand and Nail Cream and rubbed all over my hands and nails.
Here is the end result! I love how much healthier and shiny they look! What a difference, right?
Yes, I am very happy with the results. How could I not be? I plan on doing this every couple of weeks.
Here are my only issues with the product:
The buffer is a bit roughed up and pieces of it are snagged after the couple times I've used it. It probably won't last very long, which makes me a bit sad. I really love this buffer because it works a little better than other buffers I've tried in the past. I really wish that the kit came with a couple of buffers instead of just one :( Maybe I got carried away buffing my nails and wore the buffer out more than most people would...
The cuticle oil and hand cream will definitely last me a good while though!
