CND High Gloss High Shine EXCELLENT BUY

              
    I bought this Saturday at Sally's.  I used this, this evening.  I love it.  The odor is low and didn't bother my nose. I love the bottle it comes in.  My bottle is quite large at 68 ml or 2.3 fl oz.  This top coat also dried fairly fast, and when it says high shine, it means high shine.  It was worth every penny!  It offers a durable shine while sealing and protecting nail color, provides a scratch-resistant shine, seals and protects the nail color, UV absorber guards against fading and discoloration, 3-free formula does not contain Formaldehyde, Toluene or Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP).  DBP can create hormone-production problems in a fetus.  Tolulene can cause reproductive issues, headaches, itchy eyes, and much more.  Formaldahyde can cause breathing problems and even cancer.  So this polish is safe for mommy and baby!
    As I do with all my reviews, I give a rating on a 5 star rating.  5 being the bomb, and 1 being trash.  This item gets a 5, and I am satisfied and will rebuy when the time comes.

Nail Art Pens Which Work?

     I am a nail art fanatic.  I love the art as well as the small tiny details.  Not all nail technitians like nail art.  I always use different brushes and other impliments to do my nails art.  Recently I bought a nail art pen as Wal-Mart.  Yes Wal-Mart, I bought two Sally nail art pens.  They were tranlucent and not at all what I was expecting.  Then I saw an ad in Nail Pro magazine.  The ad was for nail art pens made by Cina.  They only offer a few colors which are: Purple, black, pink, red, and white.  I bought a Cina white nail art pen when I was shopping for supplies at Sally's.  I then took it to school and did a french manicure with it.  Although I was not using my brushes which was weird, I used this pen and the consistency as well as the polish itself was fantastic.  The polish was not translucent, the polish dried faster than if I had used a brush, and it was quick!  So to all the nail technitians out there, DO NOT BUY Wal-Mart nail art pens.  For less money you can go to a salon supply store and buy one of these pens and you will get what you were expecting.  The pens at Wal-Mart are horrible!
