During
winter I am an individual who would rather hibernate through it rather than
being exposed to the elements. I tend to feel the cold a lot more due to the
fact I have poor circulation. I notice
more in the winter that I tend to get a lot of pain in my hands and my skin
tends to dry out due to fluctuating temperature changes, and general every day
wear and tear. In the past I tried
various moisturising creams to try and combat these problems however I tended
to find the products were either far too runny or left an oily, sticky feeling
on my hands.
I
decided to look for a product which was solely designed by nail technicians, as
I felt they would have a product which would suit my requirements. I researched different brands on the internet
and decided to book myself in for an OPI manicure. I discussed my concerns with
a nail technician who recommended a couple of products to try and incorporated
these into my manicure.
When
I returned home I noticed the shopping channel QVC had a full hour dedicated to
OPI products. I watched the product demonstrations, which went into great
detail about each of the products they were selling I noticed these particular
products contained shea, cocoa, avocado and almond butters, any product I have
had in the past have not had as many natural products in them. I looked up the
products online and noticed that QVC’s range of OPI products where better value
than some other websites. I decided to
purchase their OPI avoplex lotion and cuticle oil kit in order for me to try
this for myself.
When
the products arrived I couldn’t wait to try these out as I really enjoyed the
manicure and hearing about the benefits of the products.
I
am currently using the high intensity hand and nail cream and find it to have a
pleasant fresh smell. It doesn’t feel runny or thick, it sinks into my hands
and leave no oily or greasy residue on my hands. I tend to use the cuticle oil once a week when
I paint my nails, as this is an oil you only need a small amount as it goes
along way, like the hand cream it smells fresh, and comforting on my skin. This
particular product tends to help my circulation as I try to try and massage it
into my hands for a couple of minutes which stimulates my blood flow through my
hands. I am pleased to say my hands are
back to feeling soft, pain free and not a rag nail in sight!
If you are
interested in trying this product out I have included the link to QVC’s website
where I purchased this kit from, there is a video clip of the product
demonstration in this link too:
Thanks for the recommendation! I love OPI products and I always get really dry hands in winter. I think I'll give this a go :)
