How To: 3 Step Mani Treatment At Home

So here's a little something you might not know about me--I have amassed a collection of nail polish so large that I could wear a different polish every day. I'm a beauty blogger and that's my excuse, y'all. I know my love for nails started when I was little. I grew up playing in my Grandmother's salon, and recall her doing my nails. I find painting my nails relaxing, oddly enough.

Here's another thing about me: I can be a slacker when it comes to the maintenance of my nails. It seems like such a chore, a nuisance. But taking care of my nails helps the polish last longer, so matter what brand I use, so when I was contacted by Dr. Dana, I knew my nails would love it. Dr. Dana is is an internationally recognized dermatologist, and is one of the only physicians in the country with a specialty in the diagnosis and treatment of nail disorders. All of her products are formulated with the highest quality ingredients, backed by science, and clinically proven to improve the appearance of nails. Now do you see why I had to try this?

I got to try out the 3 step Nail Renewal System and y'all, it's so easy to use. After researching thousands of ingredients, this easy-to-use, three-step, scientific system will not only bring nails back to a healthy, hydrated, youthful state but will leave them with a long lasting, chip-free, gorgeous shine. It comes with 3 steps: Glycolic Prep For Nails, Perfect Grit Priming Wand, and Deep Hydrating Formula. So let's get into it:

Step 01: Glycolic Prep For Nails
Directions: Twist the bottom of pen until a droplet appears on the applicator tip. Brush a thin, even coat onto clean, dry, unpolished nails. One pen twist treats five nails. Use once weekly. Provides 90 days of treatment.

Step 02: Perfect Grit Priming Wand

Directions: Start with Side 1 and sweep over nails two to five times. A powdery overlay will appear indicating it’s time for Side 2. Using Side 2, sweep over nails two to five times. Finish with Side 3, pressing more firmly and sweeping back and forth until nails achieve a lustrous, chip-free shine.

Step 03: Deep Hydrating Formula
Directions: Twist the bottom of the pen until the applicator tip is saturated. Brush generously onto nails, cuticles and surrounding skin. Use once a week, or more, if nails are prone to peeling. 

And that's it! Healthy nails for me! The Dr. Dana® Nail Renewal System has 90 days of treatments when used weekly for $46. And it's 5-free: Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Dibutyl Phthalate, Camphor, Toluene Free and Paraben Free, as well as Fragrance Free, Dye Free, and Cruelty Free.

Are you good about nail maintenance?

Headed out of town this weekend to work on something special with my youngest sister. I can't wait to share it with you.

They finally fixed the 85 bridge in Atlanta. Remember a couple of months ago when it caught on fire? It's been so lovely to have my drive cut down by half. Yay!
