Nail Care Fridays: The Face Shop's Paraffin Nutrition Nail Pack
Last December, I got a bag of Face Shop items as a gift from my officemate. It contained a pink nail polish (which I will swatch soon) and three different nail care products: Milk Calcium, Paraffin Nutrition and Lemon Brightening Nail Packs.
Milk Calcium is for strengthening and preventing brittle nails, Paraffin Nutrition is for moisturizing dry nails and Lemon Brightening is for, well, brightening up stained nails.
The packs are exactly what I need as my nails have been suffering from dryness and a little discoloration. I may not fall short on providing my nails with pretty colors and glitters, but nourishing and moisturizing them are almost, always forgotten (sorry, nails!).
I tried the Paraffin Nutrition Nail Pack to see if it can resolve the dryness of my nails.
The pack contains 10 white sheets, which look like mini 'fingersleeves'. Face Shop has properly labeled which set is for the right hand and which is for the left.
Here's a photo of my nails sans the polish.
See how miserable they look? I should probably have a no-nail-polish-for-a-day-or-two-a-week rule.
Anyway. Using the Paraffin Nutrition Nail Pack is actually pretty easy to use, but can get a pretty messy. After washing my hands, I took out the sheets from the pouch and simply inserted the sleeves on my fingers. The biggest one goes to the thumb. Easy right?
I left these on for 15 minutes, and this is how my nails looked like after.
My nails kinda look better, right? The Paraffin Nutrition Nail Pack may not be the best nail care product out there though, but if you're just looking for a quick fix to you nail dilemma, then this product will suffice.
I'll try the Lemon Brightening pack next and let you know how it goes. :)
