Sometimes I feel like doing my nails is such a chore. As I use my hands a lot throughout the day, I find they chip so easily and look bad in a matter of days! I’ve recently discovered a couple of things that definitely help me keep my nails in check.
Gel nails
One thing that I have found helps is doing gel nails instead of using normal nail varnish. These don’t chip quite the same and last so much longer. I use the Mylee gel nail kit which I’ve found is really easy to use and great value.
SLIXIR hand & polish cream
I was recently sent this hand and polish cream by the brand SLIXIR and I have found it to be a game changer! I’ve been trying it out for a little while now and I’ve honestly found it has helped keep my nails in tact.
This cream contains a blend of natural plant oils, vitamins and minerals. Use a hazelnut sized amount twice a day, massaging the cream into your fingers and nails.
This SLIXIR cream is formulated to:
- Maintain the look of a freshly applied manicure
- Keep nail polish supple and glossy
- Replace cuticle oils AND handcreams
- Maintain smooth, paintable nails
- Support natural nail health
Active ingredients:
- Copper Active – helps to soothe inflamed cuticles
- Antioxidants and Multivitamins – anti-aging to combat free radicals
- Light reflecting particles – to reduce the appearance of wrinkles
- Colloidal Oats – to coat and protect hands and cuticles
- Jojoba oil
- Avocado oil
The SLIXIR cream contains no parabens and is not tested on animals. It feels like a really luxurious cream and it smells amazing. It is not greasy or sticky and absorbs really quickly.
Until next time.

This is such great advice, my nail varnish chips so quickly after I put it on, only getting Gelish nails done makes them last a hell of a long time! x

I used to hate painting my nails but since discovering the Sally Hansen clear base and top coat it’s honestly changed the game, my nails last so much longer before chipping! I love the sound of this cream, I get quiet dry cuticles so this would be wonderful!

I rarely have a proper manicure simply because I kill them relatively quickly. That being said, when I do, I always go for a gel manicure. It stands up FAR better to the abuse that I put it through day after day! I’ve never heard of the cream before. It sounds really interesting.

I really love nail polish. I tend to do my own but I clean so much, swim daily and generally batter my nails so it looks good for a day.
Maybe I need to check this out x

Using a clear high shine varnish acts as an instant polish refresher too – when the start to look a bit dull.
