My @Avoninsider Nail Enamel Products Review

Hey there, beauts! Today on the blog i'm going to review some of the products for nails that are available on my AVON eStore at youravon.com/ssandis Get ready to give 'em some nail envy!

I had been looking for a minty nail enamel shade and came across the Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel line, shade Turquoise Pop. The color swatch on the website makes it look more like a robins egg blue, however, when on it is more of a green(mint). This product, as of this post, has a 3.6 out of 5 star review with 113 online customer reviews. Product Description: Dries in less than 30 seconds! Makes nails feel rock hard! This fast-drying formula contains Avon's Flash Dry Technology, a unique blend of quick-drying ingredients, and Volcanic Rock. The customized flat brush allows the formula to glide on smoothly and evenly without streaking. Your nails will be polished in no time at all. No formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. REGULAR PRICE: $6 Check here to see if this product is currently under a special promotion.

What I love about the Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel: 
- It really does dry completely and smoothly in seconds! I did not time it, to be honest, but the 30 seconds that it advertises has got to be true considering I noticed it drying as I was still applying. You can really see it working. This product is great for me as I love to have my nails pretty and colorful but cannot stand the drying wait time that comes with it. I applied 2 coats (could have gotten away with just one!) and again, no bubbles or anything like that. Just a smooth finish. The product seems to be lasting well... I do tons of housework and there are a few chips after a few days but I expected as much. Still, they look fabulous and i'm getting compliments from family and friends! 

The AVON Dazzlers Top Coat has been out for awhile but I had yet to try it. When I purchased the Turquoise Pop shade, I decided to purchase the Dazzlers in Disco Ball. Click here to view all of the Dazzler shades available. As of this post, this product has a 3.7 out of 5 star review with 20 online customer reviews. REGULAR PRICE: $6 Be sure to check youravon.com/ssandis to see if there's a special sale on this product! Product Description: Create an over-the-top dazzling accent nail or fabulous French Tip. Can be worn alone or over your fave polish. 

What I love about the Dazzlers Top Coat:
- Leaves a smooth finish despite what some may feel may be a rough coating due to the glitter flakes. I had a blast playing with this product and creating a look that was a mix of the nail design tip from the above mentioned product description. It is easy to apply, doesn't seem to clump around or bunch up in one spot. Other than the colored sparkles, the product is a clear top coat. I like this because it adds that extra protection against chipping yet does not change anything about the look(color) that I had wanted. 

A few months back I had discovered the Nail Experts Gel Strength Base Coat and fell in love! As of this post, this product has a 4.6 out of 5 star review with 40 online customer reviews. Product Description: Protein and keratin-infused formula creates a hard, shiny finish. Provides a sheer, natural and healthy look to nails. REGULAR PRICE: $6.50 As of this posting, this product is currently on sale for a special promotion of 2 for $6.99! Click here to shop the special offer.

What I love about the Nail Experts Gel Strength Base Coat:
This product goes on clear (just appears to be pink in the bottle) and really works at keeping my nails strong. I have also noticed that it seems to be helping with making my nails grow faster than usual, so that's another plus.

5 Beauty Tips for the Summer Season

Summer time is supposed to be a relaxing, fun time where you can just kick back with a sweet tea and lay pool side. A time where you can enjoy family reunions, amusement parks, and road trips to your favorite beach. While all those activities are a blast, it can make for an exhausting vacation. The one thing you want to avoid is needing a vacation from your Summer vacation. To help keep things simple, i'm sharing a list of 5 beauty tips that are great for the Summer months as they are quick - this way you can still look your best but aren't taking up too much time in front of your bathroom mirror. 

Tip #1 Wear Sunscreen. Now, this tip is {or should be} common sense but with skin cancer on the unfortunate rise, its worth mentioning. Applying sunscreen doesn't take anymore than 2 minutes, really. You should always be wearing SPF year-round but most especially in the Summer months. Shopping online at youravon.com/ssandis now will get you huge savings on your sunscreen essentials. Check out the AVON Sun+ 4 Piece Set for only $25. ($40 value) This includes: Sunscreen Spray SPF 25, Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF 40, Cooling After Sun Aloe Gel, and Kids Disappearing Potion Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30.

Tip #2 Use a Moisturizing Soap. Keep your skin smooth and hydrated and beat the Summer heat. Try Moisture Therapy Daily Skin Defense Body Wash SALE $3.99 (Reg. $8). This is a gentle, moisturizing cleanser with vitamin-enriched beads. Check out the complete Moisture Therapy Collection including Hand Cream & Body Lotion on my eStore. 

Tip #3 Simplify your Makeup Look. Humidity is the worst when it comes to having a full face makeup on. You can apply in the comfort of your central air-conditioned house, then step outside and well, there goes your glam. There is a fabulous face primer that if you have yet to try, now would be the perfect time to do so. MagiX Face Perfector SPF 20 SALE $6.99 (Reg. $11)  It is an oil-free, colorless primer, suitable for all skin tones. You can wear alone or under your foundation. In the Summer months, I wear this alone as it is a lightweight gel to powder formula and keeps me from getting shiny. 

Tip #4 Paint your Nails with Bright Shades. You know that Summer means bright and fun and why should your mani and pedi say any different! Right now you can save over $10 when you shop the Summer Nail Sale at youravon.com/ssandis Choose any 3 for $8.99! Choose from Electric Shades, Speed Dry, and don't forget to top off the look with Dazzlers Top Coat or the ALL NEW Metallic Fringe Top Coat. 

Tip #5 Wear your Hair Up. If you have long hair like I do, you know that its the worst to wear it down when you are overheated. If you think you're only option is either chopping it off or throwing it up in a bun, don't worry - it's not! The Advance Techniques Haircare line can help you get an updo that will keep you cool while still making those in your company say wow! Try the Advance Techniques Ultimate Volume Trio for only $10 ($20 value so this bundle gives you a 50% savings!) Ultimate Volume 3-Step Regimen with Collagen and Body Boosting Technology for 24-hour voluminous results! A breakthrough solution to transform fine hair. Hair feels thicker and softer with ultimate volume, body and thickness. So, even when its up it will still look amazing.

There you have it, beauts. I hope you enjoyed this post. Please comment and share to your social media accounts. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and the rest of your.....
