'nail hq' review

Hello everyone, today I am going to be reviewing three items from Nail HQ, they were very kindly sent to me to review.

I often find that my nails and cuticles are really dry, cracked and just look horrible, in fact here is a picture of my nails with nothing on them.

Awful, I know but when I had the opportunity to do a review on some products that are supposed to make your nails nourished, strong and glossy I thought... why not?

Each varnish is quite large 10 ml each, the company explains they are 'utilizing ingredients which re traditionally associated with hair and skincare including argan oil and keratin proteins', this sounds interesting because nails are actually very similar to hair, they are both dead. The packaging of the products is also really cute i love how the circles on the boxes around the varnishes are shiny and metallic.

First I am going to show the cuticle oil, this is designed to moisturize and condition nails in the cuticle area, the non greasy formulation is meant to rejuvenate and soften deteriorated dry, lifeless skin.

I applied the cuticle oil, just rubbing it in gently to my cuticles, I only used one dip of the bush and I left it about two minutes.


I saw that my cuticles were slightly less cracked and more moisturized but overall there wan't that much of a difference in the appearance of my nails, I could feel that they were healthier though.

Some of the ingredients are: jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil, beta-carotene and vitamins E, A and D3, it has very high quality ingredients.

It is a mid range price for the amount that is used each time at £6.99, personally I probably wouldn't buy this again because It didn't really WOW me but it was ok.

Next is the nail strengthener varnish, designed to help even the weakest and softest nails to become stronger.
Picture
It is also supposed to help promote nail growth by diminishing breakage.
Picture
I only dipped the brush once and managed to do an entire hand so a little bit really does go a long way.

My nails looked super glossy and shiny, they were definitely much stronger and I was impressed.

this varnish contains fruit complex of alpha hydroxy acids. Helping to harden your nails preventing them from chipping.

I would buy this varnish again because it did a good job on my nails, it made them stronger and whenever I wear this varnish my nails never damage or chip, it is £6.99, a good price for the quality and quantity.


Finally is the nail growth varnish with biotin, formulated with pentavitin 'moisture magnet'  and a unique nail strengthening complex.
Picture

Picture
When I applied this varnish my nails felt stronger and harder, pretty much the same results as the strengthener varnish.

I have never seen a slightly pink tinted strengthener varnish like this but it still came onto my nails clearly.
Picture

Picture
Overall, it was £6.99 I thought that there were very similar results to the strengthener, but in the long run this will make your nails grow faster and the strengthener will make them more stronger, I would buy this again.
