Everyone has that one thing they love to do in their
downtime. Mine happens to be painting my nails, which I end up doing pretty
much all the time. Taking care of my nails is important, too; no one likes
yellow residue from their favorite buttercup yellow polish, do they? I sure don’t.
Sephora came out with its own nail
range last year called Formula X.
Along with a ton of polish color options, they have a nail care system. This
three-step system is a routine of mine before putting the actual color on my
nails.
Cleanse, Prime, and Shine are the three necessary products to achieve that long lasting
chip-free shine on your nails. Cleanse cleans away any residue left
over from past nail polish or even nail polish remover. I like how it makes my
nail beds feel refreshed and able to breathe. Prime preps the nails by
giving it a smooth adhesive surface to help polish hold. I like this primer
more than Essie’s because I feel like it’s lighter and goes on easily. Once the
nail color is applied, Shine comes in as the last step to seal in color. This
product is lightweight as well and doesn’t cause the bubble affect that I can
sometimes get after having a topcoat for too long. I recently received a compliment
on my nails: this person said they looked so good and clean, almost like a gel
manicure. I told her that it was just from using Sephora’s system and she was
so surprised.
At the price of $32.00, you receive all three products and any color nail polish of your choice
from the Formula X line. I bought Obsessed,
a beautiful deep merlot perfect for these Autumn/Winter months. The system is
available in store and online and so
worth trying out.
As of today I am off to Orlando Florida to hang out at Universal Studios and see One Direction perform on Monday on the Today Show for their fourth album release of Four. Keep your eyes out for posts this coming week and next all about my trip! Expect some new make up bits in some posts! x
