Starting A My Favorite Things Page

I am always curious to see what other nail bloggers are using in their daily nail care routines. So I decided to show you things I like to use. I find I fall in and out of favor with products, so I wanted to show my most commonly used products that I keep going back to. I have included how I use most of the items and any tips I might have. Enjoy!

Here is the link to the page My Favorite Things.


Skin Care
Cuticle Cream/Butter/Oil
Lemony Flutter by LUSH - I just love this stuff! I use this nightly.
Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme by Burt's Bees - I bring this to work with me. It is not super greasy like you would think. (I left it at work so no picture, sorry)
Hard as Hoof by HOOF - I was using this before getting my Lemony Flutter and Solar Oil, a much cheaper option.
Solar Oil by CND - I use this nightly.

Cuticle Remover
Cuticle Eraser by CND - I try and use nightly.
Cuticle Remover by Nfu-Oh - I go back and forth between this and Cutique.
Cutique by Orly - Great for getting yellow out of nails.

Lotion
Helping Hands by LUSH -  I use this on hands, feet and elbows.
Milk & Honey Lotion by Burt's Bees - All over lotion.
Mango & Orange Body Butter by Burt's Bees - All over lotion in winter. It smells yummy.

Nail Care

Base Coat
Bonder, Ridge Filler, Anchor, Poshe
Fast Drying Base Coat by Poshe
Aqua Base by Nfu-Oh - Used only for my holographic polishes.
Anchor by Zoya
Bonder by Orly - I don't use this for long periods of time in fear of staining.
Ridge Filling Base Coat by Nail Tek - Not using as much. I think it might have caused my nails to get all peely. Not really sure if this was the cause though.

Top Coat
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat by Seche Vite - Be aware of possible shrinkage.
Gelous by American Classics - This is great for gritty glitter polishes. I use a coat of Seche after applying for quicker drying.

Nail Polish Remover
Dupe, Pure Acetone, Remove
Remove by Zoya
Remove Dupe by Me
100% Acetone by anyone!

Tools
Curette - I use the small end.
Nail Spoon/Pusher - I don't have the best quality pusher. I want to get a better one but not sure what to get.
Small Filbert Paintbrush
Nail Files in Fine Grit (400/600) and Medium Grit (220/320)
