I have a confession to make - I’ve never taken good care of
my nails. Sure, I’ve been using nail polish for years, but only recently have I
started using a base coat, nail oil, et
cetera. The decision to start using nail care was quite an easy one to
make. Halfway through this year, two nails on my right hand started to split and chip quite badly – it didn’t
matter what I did, nothing seemed to help! In a moment of desperation, I
splurged $15 AUD on a nail treatment to attempt to repair my damaged nails. Of
course, I was hugely disappointed when it didn’t work.
I started looking around for cheaper alternatives, since the
more expensive polish hadn’t worked for me. I searched the whole of Priceline for
products that weren’t ludicrously expensive. Right at the back of the store, I
found a little stand, full of cosmetics. I hadn’t noticed it before, but the
prices were amazing by Australian standards; this brand, of course, is Essence.
I looked through their range of products, and settled on
Essence’s Studio Nails XXL Nail Thickener. The back of the bottle says: “...this innovative nail polish instantly
thickens & strengthens thin & brittle nails – resistant against
chipping & cracking. For longer growing nails. Fast-drying.”
