VitaFusion Hair, Nails, and Skin Gummies review

A post shared by Court (@insearchofwonderment) on




A while back I colored my hair a few times, from blonde to auburn to auburn again. I also got dissatisfied with my hair in general and wanted to do something new, so I cut it. Not super short, but short for me. If you look back at old pictures, my hair was fairly long.

Too, I've always wanted long pretty nails. Mine are brittle and break so easily. So I saw the commercial for the VitaFusion skin hair and nails gummies and had thought about trying them.

However, on one of those glorious nights as I roamed Walmart, picking up things I "needed," I happened upon them. Unsure if they were the exact ones, I purchased them anyway. And as, you'll see from the picture above, I started taking them Jan 28.

To take these, you're supposed to take three a day, which I ended up taking them all a the same time, because I would forget. As a side note, they taste pretty all right. They have a berry flavor, which is pretty pleasant.

I can't say so much if it gave me better skin. I have a pretty in depth skin routine. I think where I first noticed was my nails. They started growing like crazy and pretty strong. Then I noticed my hair getting longer. So all in all, I would say that this product works. I wish I had some before and afters, but alas, I'm none so prepared.

I have been trying it against regular old biotin. I find that biotin may work, but it takes much longer to do so.

I had bought more of the Vitafusion, but I got it and had no safety seal, they day I tried to take it back to Walmart, it was 92 degrees at least, and they melted. But hey, they're sanitized right? Anyway, I would recommend this product it does improve nails and hair, and probably skin.

25 Days Of Beauty: Holiday French Tip






Here are some instructions to get this simple holiday French Tip at home. 


First, you'll need junk. 

Just kidding, and you'll notice everything here is LA Colors. Nail polish chips on me really easily, so I don't like to spend a lot of money on it, unless I'm going through a polish phase. 

But you have, the base coat, strengthener, sheer nude color, white, gold, and top coat. 

Step 1: Apply, base coat. I got this strengthener, because my nails get weak when I wear a lot of polish. 


Step 2: Nude color. 

This one is really sheer, but gives enough coverage to smooth out the skin. It's also got a little bit of reflect in it.

Here is my thumb with the final product. You can use a completely opaque color, and it will look just as pretty. Personally, I like it to look a little more natural. 


Step 3: Paint white tips. 

You can totally use the little round things or whatever you like, but I learned to free hand. For the most part it comes out pretty well.   

If it doesn't, then don't worry. You odn't have to start over again, you can correct it with the gold.  
  

Step 4: Paint thin gold line at the bottom of the white. 

I actually find that it works best to paint from both ends towards the middle. If not it comes out a little wonky. Or maybe it's just because I don't have steady hands.  





Step 5: Paint Clear coat.

Now, if you want a more muted white, then you can paint the sheer nude color over everything before painting on the clear coat. 


Then, you're all done. 
It's pretty simple, and really nice for office work with out paying for fake nails or tearing your nails up. 


As always,
