Go Nails...

A couple of people have commented recently on twitter
 that my nails always look great in NOTD posts. I have to confess, they really don't deserve the praise! I can never get my nails to grow very quickly, and when they do grow, they snap and break along the sides. I also suffer with dry and at times ragged cuticles.

My "secret" in pictures is to rub in a dot of cuticle oil prior to snapping a nail varnish on my nails, because that masks the disgraceful state of my cuticles... I'm also quite lucky because my nail bed is quite long, so even when my nails are cut down, they still look quite long.

So here are my nails in all their real "glory"...


I was, however recently sent a product to try and review called "Go Nails", which claims it can solve all my issues - It promises longer stronger nails in ten days and softer cuticles.

Go Nails comes in a 15ml/0.5fl. oz. airless pump...
The cream itself is just a simple white lotion, which containss the following ingredients;
 I'm liking the fact that there isn't anything too toxic sounding in there!

The cream has a nice very light lemonish scent, which does fade quickly, so no lingering pong after use... It seems to absob quickly and easily into both the nail and the cuticle, so my first impressions are quite  good.
This is not a cheap product though - and currently I believe that this is only available in the USA, although the manufacturers have reassured me that they regularly ship to the UK, so this is available if you want to try it... The cream retails at $24.99 per tibe, although they have multibuy options which are cheaper - see the website HERE.

Check back in a couple of weeks to see if this lives up to its promises!

Have you tried this product? Did it work for you?

I swear by the Jessica Nails one, it actually makes the area feel physically softer after using it, it feels like satin.

You have the kind of oval shaped nails that I want, mine start really close to the edge of the finger.

Can't wait to see how you get on with this! I have a really long nail bed too but my nails are SO soft and weak they rip as soon as they get any kind of growth. I was looking into getting opi nail envy as i'm currently using a sally hansen one and it's really rubbish. I want long hard nails waaaaah!

Honestly I think rubbing butter into your cuticles every day would help a lot too. In the past it has seemed to me that rubbing anything into the cuticle and nail bed helps stimulate and grow the nails :)

That said I love Solar Oil by CND, never fails me xx
