Review: Premier Spa Beautifying Nail Kit {GIVEAWAY} CLOSED

Posted on August 29, 2012November 20, 2015 by Elaine
I’m not a big nail person. I have never been into nail art and all the pretty nail designs I’ve seen on blogs and pinterest. I’m always admiring the done up nails on other ladies but I just don’t have the patience for it. I can barely even paint my nails ONE colour never mind 3 or 4!
I do however understand the importance of having clean and polished nails. I love the look of a fresh manicure when I leave a salon but again, maintenance is not my thing. I’m TOTALLY guilty of having peeled and chipped nail polish before I will make the effort of taking it off.
This is why I really loved this nail kit by Premier Spa. The perfect way to make my natural nails look pretty without the maintenance of putting on and taking off polish. Excellent for a lazy girl like me!
IMG_1418

I’ve used other nail kits similar before and I always love the results. Sometimes unpolished nails can still look put together.

Included in the kit is a hand and body cream, nail oil, nail file and the ultimate tool – the nail buffer.

 IMG_1419
I love buffing my nails – they come out so smooth and shiny afterwards! I think I could get addicted – which would be a bad thing as over buffing your nails isn’t good for them!
This Beautifying nail kit was great as everything was included in it to give me healthy and clean looking nails. I used the file as best as I could (I’m not very good at getting the “perfect” nail shape either) then moved on to the buffer. I had some left over polish on my nails and the buffer did a great job of taking some of the residue off.
After buffing I applied the nail oil which had a great kind of lemony scent. My only complaint is that a lot of oil would come out of the tube (way more than I needed) and when I closed the tube the oil still leaked out a bit. Next I applied the hand and body lotion. I love how it absorbed very nicely into my skin. I’ve also been using this on my legs every morning and they stay smooth and soft. The scent is *slightly* too sweet for my liking but it quickly disappears so that’s not an issue at all.
Here’s how my nails looked after:
IMG_1423
Excuse the “waviness” of my nail tips – I told you I wasn’t great at filing! It was difficult to capture on camera but my nails were really quite shiny afterwards!
This nail kit retails for $49.99 but for the month of August (eeks, til Friday only!) you can actually DOUBLE your online order purchase. Just use the code : DOUBLE when placing your order.
But wait, you can also WIN one of these nail kits and have clean healthy nails too! All you have to do is fill out the rafflecopter form below.

    I’m huge into my nails. I try to do nail art and perfect ombre nails. It’s practically the only thing I share on my Instagram.

    I keep my nails in good shape by always adding JR Watkins Hand and Cuticle Salve to my cuticles in the am and pm and especially before I take a photo of them.

    I use cuticle oil before bed (when I remember!) and I use a glass nail file instead of an emery board. Once you try a glass file, you’ll never go back!

Proud ☺️🌈 And loud, since I have the privi Proud ☺️🌈

And loud, since I have the privilege of being able to live my life openly, unlike so many of my 2SLGBTQIA+ peers. I’m a straight-passing cis white woman, so my queerness doesn’t threaten most people. 

So, with that advantage in mind, let me use this small platform to say to anyone who is listening:

Never forget that Pride started as a riot. 

That Pride is more than slapping a rainbow on something, jacking up the price, and saying “love is love” for four weeks out of the year. 

That true allyship involves action and accountability, 365. 

That trans women, two-spirit individuals, and queer folks of color are the heart and soul of our community. That they continue to show up, to fight, to love, and to lead while facing very real danger. That we owe so much to their courage. 

Never forget that queer folks have always been here. 

That you can’t erase us, ban us, or legislate us out of existence. 

That queerness is a part of nature. 

That it exists even when it’s no longer trendy or politically advantageous. 

That we notice and remember who speaks up and who is silent. 

That we contain multitudes. 

That we deserve safety, compassion, legal protections, love, joy, and a future - just like every other human. 

That not all of us are “out” and don’t need to be; that we will invite you in if and when we choose to, and if and when we feel safe to do so. 

That queer folks make the world better. 

And that, despite seemingly insurmountable odds, we’re going to be ok. 

Because resilience, creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness are fundamental parts of who we are. 

So we’re not going anywhere. Get on board.

Happy Pride!

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!
