Chick Nail Polish Hen House #FLBeautyBloggers Swag!

Sorry for this super late post today. I had a lousy morning and better part of my day and I am just starting to feel better now. I hate days like this. Luckily I have some awesome polish on my nail and another awesome polish to show you guys today. Chick Nail Polish was kind enough to sponsor our Beauty Bloggers of Central Fl meet-up we just held this past Saturday. So a HUGE thank you to Julie and Chick Nail Polish for sponsoring our event :D! I managed to get my hands on a Chick shade I had been really debating for whatever reason.. I'm so glad I have it now! I love me some Vampy Nubbies :D.

 This is Chick Nail Polish in Hen House. This is a delicious vampy Plum. This color is deep and sexy and perfect for a night out. The formula on this color is SO easy to work with, it practically applies itself. This is not a super dense creme so it gives this Plummy shade a touch of squishiness and I love that in my deep shades.

NAILS TIPS

To prolong the life of your nail polish; wipe around the top of the bottle with nail polish remover before replacing the lid. This prevents air getting in and causing the nail polish to thicken.

Never thin nail polish with nail polish remover. Most nail polish remover contains oil which can prevent the nail polish from drying properly and or cause it to chip and flake. Always use a specific nail polish thinning product or a few drops of pure acetone.

To remove stains from nails soak a cotton pad in a little pure lemon juice and place on the nails for a few minutes. Prevent staining by always using base coat under strong colours. If you have nail discolouration below the surface of the nail this may be caused by damage to the nail bed or a fungal nail infection. If in doubt consult your GP or pharmacist.

If you suffer from flaking or weak nails try replacing your usual nail polish remover with an acetone free version. Acetone is a key ingredient in most nail polish removers. It is dehydrating to nails and can exacerbate brittle and flaking nail problems. Cutex Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover (200ml £1.99 Boots.com). A good quality nail hardening product can also help with this problem such as OPI Nail Envy range or Sally Hansen nail hardening and strengthening products.

Always file your nails in one direction only. Seesaw filing action generates heat and causes friction which can damage the nail and lead to flaking and breaking.
