THE BODY SHOP - COLOUR CRUSH NAIL POLISH, NAIL CARE & NAIL ACCESSORIES - REVIEW

The Body Shop Nail Polish?!

Yes, you read that right! The Body Shop have just recently released a new Colour Crush nail polish range and nail care accessories!

I was lucky enough to try out and review some of the awesome new products.



THE BODY SHOP COLOUR CRUSH NAIL POLISH

The Body Shop have newly released 24 gorgeous shades of Colour Crush nail polish. 


I tried three of these polishes and was so impressed! 
After five days of wear, on my right hand (which is my dominant hand) with no topcoat there was minimal chipping and just some general tip wear, these polishes are fantastic! 

The polishes have a nice smooth and creamy formula allowing for smooth application - the polish literally felt like it just glided naturally onto my nails. 

The polish brush is also nice and wide for easy coverage on the nail with three swipes. 



The Colour Crush polishes 
  • Are 100% Vegan
  • Dry amazingly fast
  • Have a great smooth and creamy formula
  • Have an extremely Glossy finish - they don't even need a topcoat!
  • The polishes are BPA free and free of harsh chemicals including; Camphor, Toulene, Fornaldehyde and Formaldehyde resin


Here are some nail swatches of the colours i tried.

Red My Mind 



Red My mind is a bright fire engine red nail polish colour.  It takes one coat of nail polish to get opaque. However with one coat you can still see visible nail line, so i prefer to do two coats or one nice thick coat. If visible nail line doesn't bother you, one thin coat is totally fine. It has a great smooth formula.

The Body Shop Green


The Body Shop Green is a gorgeous dark green nail polish colour (obviously from the name). It takes two coats of nail polish to get opaque. This polish has a great creamy formula which literally glides effortlessly on the nail.  


Rosy Cheeks 



Rosy Cheeks is a really pretty peach coral barbie pink colour. This polish takes one - two coats to get opaque. I found the formula of this polish to be a little streaky but it is totally manageable. The end result is a gorgeous vibrant colour with no streaks visible. It looked so much better on the nail than i had expected.   



All three polishes tested lasted long, were extremely shiny and glossy and dried quickly. I definitely recommend you trying these out for yourself!  

Colour Crush Nail Polish RRP: AU $8.95 each


THE BODY SHOP "NAIL ART PEN" / DOTTING TOOL


The Body Shop's new nail art pen / dotting tool lets you get creative with your nail polish and create simple and cute nail art designs. 


The versatile double-sided tool allows for endless design and style possibilities.


The tool is easy to use, great for nail art can be used with any nail polish colour. 



One end of the tool has a small point perfect for thin lines or really small polka dots.

The other end of the tool has a small but larger point perfect for medium sized polka dots and thicker lines.
The Body Shop's nail art tool makes perfect dots and thin stripes for nail art, to possibly create a really pretty dotticure and stripe pattern on your nails.

In my opinion however, it can be a bit difficult to create perfect straight lines with the tool, especially for a beginner, but with practice it is easy to master.  




RRP: AU $11.95



THE BODY SHOP NAIL POLISHING BLOCK / BUFFER

A nail polishing block / buffer can be used to prepare nails for a manicure by smoothing any ridges or nail irregularities.

The Body Shop 4-sided nail polishing block is extremely simple to use, with each side labelled with step instructions.

Follow the numbers on each side of the nail polishing block to guide you. 

Step #1 -  Black side: use to file and shape the nail edge
Step #2 -  Mint green side: use to smooth away any ridges on the surface of the nail 
Step #3 -  Pale grey side: use to smooth and buff the nail
Step #4 -  White side: use to give a natural shine to the surface of the nail


*NOTE: Good for occasional use to smooth a damaged nail. To maintain nail health, should not be used daily. 


RRP: AU $6.95


THE BODY SHOP SWEET ALMOND OIL NAIL POLISH REMOVER 

The Body Shop's Sweet almond oil nail polish remover has a 4-in-1 caring formula with sweet almond and soya oil and is enriched with Community Fair Trade sugarcane essence / organic alcohol.

The nail polish remover:
  • Is acetone free which is great as it is therefore gentle on nails
  • Has a non-drying formula
  • It Softens cuticles
  • It Conditions nails improving the general condition of nails
This is a fantastic nail polish remover! 

Just Soak a cotton pad with the sweet almond oil nail polish remover and hold gently over the nail for 5-10 seconds and viola! Nail polish gone with your nails not having had to sustain any harsh chemicals! 

The Body Shop's sweet almond oil nail polish remover is a more natural based nail polish remover and is free of harsh chemicals.


I found the smell of the nail polish remover to not be very offensive, and it leaves a kind of sweet smell on your nails when it removes the nail polish - a lot more pleasant than acetone based nail polish removers.




RRP: AU $11.95 for 100ml 



THE BODY SHOP PEPPERMINT PEDI PAMPER TIN


The Body Shop pedi pamper tin contains all the pampering essentials for a D.I.Y pedicure at home. This gift tin will definitely be your feet's new best friend. 

The gift pack features the Peppermint Foot range which promises to cool and revive tired and sore feet.
The tin has a strong, refreshing smell of beautiful peppermint

Also some extremely cool pedicure accessories.


The adorable reusable storage gift tin with handles includes:
  • Peppermint foot lotion - 60ml ~ instantly softens and refreshes feet.
  • Peppermint foot fizzies (bath bombs for your feet)- 2 X 30g ~ provides foot therapy through organic peppermint oil to revive tired feet -  simply drop into water and soak feet.
  • Moisture socks
  • Pumice sponge "no rough stuff"
  • Nail clippers embedded in a Nail buffer 
  • Toe dividers (foot shaped - so cute) 

A great gift idea for any occasion (especially Christmas, for those of you who have left the gift shopping until the last minute) or even a great little treat for yourself ;) 



If you choose not to purchase this tin, you can still purchase some of the products in this tin separately, I would definitely recommend the peppermint foot lotion and foot fizzies as when i tried them they instantly provide a burst of freshness to "wake up your feet" and they're extremely soothing.


RRP: AU $29.95

  8. Better And Comfortable Trip With San Diego Black Car Service

    You can recruit San Diego dark vehicle administration from the Limousine administration San Diego however here are a portion of the reasons why you have to enlist these administrations particularly from this organization.
    https://limo-car-services.page.tl/Black-Car-Service-That-Will-Make-You-Enjoy-The-Trip.htm

    At the point when you have a roadshow to design there will be a great deal of focuses in it that you will visit. You can't design a roadshow by having a taxi as your decision. So you should enlist a ride that will be at your administration, a chauffeured administration since you won't have the option to drive without anyone else and center around your business introductions and reports too. Consequently, you can employ the dark vehicle administration. Your roadshow will go so easily if book this chauffeured administration.
