Experiment Update March 2013

Good evening/nearly morning Chickadee's :). Haven't been up tot much nail wise with my neck still being an issue so I figure id update on some of my ongoing experiments.

Zoya Cynthia

Good evening chickadee's :)! Have a quick post and pic of my weekend mani Zoya Cynthia. Really have ended up loving this color more than I thought. I was afraid it might appear too blacked indoors but I haven't found that to be true....though it has been confused for black twice hmmmm. Oh well I find it lovely!

Acetone Experiment

Hope ya all are having a good evening out there :). Finally got myself out to pick up supplies to try Loodies Faux Zoya Remove recipe. Just about to mix it up before I get to fixing myself some soy free vegan faux scramble for dinner. Hopefully this will help reduce my flaking and corner breakage issues by diminishing the drying effect of the acetone. If it helps my poor cuticles thats a plus too :).

 

The potential greasiness people have mentioned wouldnt bother me as I have a whole routine I go through after polish removal in the evenings which includes washing my hands, applying my homemade Coconut Vanilla Scrub, and showering plenty of time to for any residue to wear off. I will post back after a sufficent trial period.

 

Have you tried this or a similar recipe? What were your results? Let me know!

Coconut Vanilla Scrub

Good evening everyone!

As im attempting to fix up this place I thought to share a recipe of mine I use quite often coconut vanilla scrub hope you enjoy it :).

 

Coconut Vanilla Scrub

1 Part Sea Salt

2 Parts Sugar Of Choice (I use vegan white since its cheap)

Full Fat Coconut Milk

Coconut Oil

Vanilla Extract

 

Pretty simple, done in parts so you can make as much or as little as you like. To give credit where due this was inspired by a non-vegan recipe I learned at The Beauty Bottle Forum. Since I am allergic to cows dairy and prefer vegan products I did a little tweaking.
