Salon Edge UV Lamp Review



I am a huge nail polish junkie. I have at least 40 shades. But I am hard on my hands, so I deal with no polish chipping frequestly, no matter what brand or top coat I use. Then along came gel nail polish that is durable, and lasts 2-3 weeks. I could not wait to try it out. But it's $25 a pop to get a gel manicure, and that can add up fast. That's where the Salon Edge UV lamp comes in! Salon Edge's gel curing UV lamp looks like a professional model. It's white, sleek looking, and large enough for a whole hand, but still lightweight. It uses four 36 Watt bulbs, that are included with the unit. It has 3 automatic settings, 90, 120, or 180 Seconds.




The unit comes with no instructions, but all you have to do is install the bulbs, so that is not a huge drawback. They do fail to mention not to touch the bulbs with your bare hands, but thankfully I knew that already. The bulbs have to be popped into their slots, and it takes a bit of force to do this. When the first one popped in I thought I broke it for a minute.







The Salon Edge is easy to use, simply paint and cure. (Follow the steps laid out by the polish you are using, some require special base and top coats) I know gel polish is pricier than regular drug store polish, but with one manicure lasting up to 2 weeks the polish lasts and lasts.

There is one drawback. UV rays can cause skin cancer. My solution to this is simple, but brilliant. I went to the dollar store, bought gloves, and cut the finger tips off so my nails are exposed but my hand and fingers are covered. Problem solved. So, if you are ready to ditch the pricey salon manicures and try the DIY gel mani, this is the lamp you want! The value and the product are exceptional. Head on over to amazon and order your Salon Edge UV lamp! This would also make an amazing gift for any one in your life who loves beauty and nail products! 










I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com in exchange for my honest review. I never recommend products i don't like and use myself.

Old Factory Candles review and giveaway

Image
  Thanks to Red Rover Naturals I have had the pleasure of trying out and reviewing their old factory Candle set. The set I got was “Happy Holidays” which contains 3 different 2 ounce candles; Christmas Tree, Candy Cane, Gingerbread. These candles smell AMAZING! I could smell them the minute I opened the box. They are made in the USA with natural soy wax and have self-trimming cotton candle wicks. They burn clean for over 20 hours. They are small, only 2 ounces, but don't let that fool you, they pack a powerful scent. When lit they fill the room with their wonderful aroma, and the scent lasts for hours after they have been blown out. They have 12 unique themes to choose from. The jars have a kind of rustic look and are very cute. These would also make a great christmas gift, and with the "man cave" set the would even be good for the men in your life. Every purchase is 100% guaranteed. If you are not completely thrilled with the fragrance or appearance of these candles...

ASUS and my fight for them to be honorable

This blog is about my fight with ASUS computer company to get them to honor my warranty and replace my laptop. If anyone wants to share this page on the ASUS facebook page i would appreciate it. It also would be great if people could please go to this tweet and re-tweet it. The story In February of 2013 I purchased an ASUS brand laptop. The salesman highly recommended the brand, and it had several features i was looking for, including windows 8. $400 later, i left the store with a new laptop for school and a happy spirit. Flash forward ONE MONTH, and i started having an issue with the laptop. The sound would stop working, both on files and online. After contacting both geek squad and ASUS, they determined that i had gotten a virus in the audio software. I uninstalled the software, ran a comprehensive virus cleanup, purchased a new "better" anti-virus program the ASUS tech recommended and re-installed the audio drivers. Problem solved...or so i thought. Over the next ...

What my chronic pain condition looks like now

Image
  If you asked me about my current migraines and pain condition, i would tell you i "got sick" on Christmas day of 2013. But really i have gotten migraines since the 7th grade. In late October of 2013 they started to become more frequent. Christmas night of 2013 i got a migraine that lasted 4 days, and ended with me at the ER having to get shots. That had happened before, but this time the medication didn't help. So they gave me a second dose, which still only brought the pain down by less than half. Then they gave more. After that they said i could go home or be admitted, there was nothing else they could do for me. I have had a headache every day since then. 401 days. Some days it's not bad, i can take a tylenol and be ok. Some days, most days, 3-6 days a week it's a full on migraine. I have to take abortive migraine meds, usually in combination with other medications for migraines and things like ibuprofen and be in a dark, cool room with little noise and wai...
