I am an independent nail stylist for Color Street - Mineral Fusion is a game changer!! I was looking for remover that was gentle on my nails but tough on the glitter nail polish strips. This product was suggested to me & I did a live product review on FB. Wow, I was blown away! My nails were clean in half the time it usually takes me!!
For anyone who’s ever used Colorstreet glitter nails- you know the struggle is real trying to remove them. I HATED using acetone because it made the skin around my nails start to break and crack. The non-acetone didn’t work at all. A friend told me about this stuff so I figured I’d give it a try. I absolutely love it!!! It works
Update September 2019: i had to reorder and this time the product was shrink-wrapped and no spillage in shipping. Hopefully this is a permanent fix.I've used this product a bunch of times now and I can honestly say it works really well. The odor is strong but slightly better than mainstream brands I have used in the past. A touch more

Ok so I don’t usually post a pic on a review(but I felt I had to). Yes, I get it, wow your feet are/were disgusting. My feet were so bad! & I kept picking at the dead skin. My husband kept trying to get me to go get a pedicure, but I don’t like people touching my feet. Yes, I even agree how disgusting I let my feet get & have been so
This works well.My previous solution for removing dead skin from my feet was so powerful, it got my feet hot while using it.This tool works much better. When I first turned it on, even on the faster speed, I thought it seemed quite underpowered.Then, pretty quickly, little piles of skin dust (pictured) started piling up on the floor. By
This callus remover is a great value for the money. I went from 2 hours of foot exfoliating in one sitting to 4-5 mins a day after shower.I wouldn't use this in the shower. The charging outlet didn't have a waterproofing door and the gear is exposed. It wouldn't be wise to test there up rating.Those that are complaining that the wheel is

I have used solar oil for a long time. It helped, but my nails still couldn’t grow past a certain point without splitting or breaking. I purchased this cuticle oil 3 weeks ago and my nails have grown longer!! No splitting, no breaking and I use my hands all day every day.. the bottle is huge! It will definitely last me a long time even
I love the way this feels on my cuticles. I am a nervous picker at my cuticles and this not only reduces me wanting to pluck away at my damaged cuticles, but also relieves the soreness from the damage I caused prior to application. I've never actually purchased this before and only had it applied whenever I've gotten my nails done, but
As a professional licenced nail technician I think this oil is great! And it has a very nice smell.. unfortunately the dropper applicator in the lid causes it to not seal and therefore leak. I would recommend buying this for refilling smaller bottles because the price is very good for the amount of oil you get however if you use it on a

Alright y'all, this ain't your basic foot rasp. If you have mild calluses, I really suggest you look elsewhere. However, if you, like me, basically have hooves for heels, then this may be you new holy grail of extraneous foot skin removal.A word of warning -- this thing will take off the tips of your toes if you're not careful. I nicked
I suffered from the most severely painful cracked feet for over 30 years. Like many that suffer from this condition – I've tried every dang option, medical and homeopathic do it yourself conjuring I could think of. All of which ended up not working and seemed I would be doomed to live out the rest of my life dealing severely painful
AMAZING!!! seriously beyond impressed with this product. I've never had dry or cracked heels until recently and I've tried everything I could find to get rid of them! This is all u need!!! Just check out the before and after. I literally opened the box and did this in less than a minute ! I'll never use anything else! Even better than

I am a software executive whose cuticles dry out in winter. All my life, every year they crack, peel and turn into awful unsightly, bloody hangnails. Then, due to my fidgety ways, I can't leave them alone and that only makes them worse. Let me tell you there is nothing more embarrassing then being in a board room with your CEO and
I love this product and use it daily. I'm a medical student and have to wash my hands and use hand sanitizer constantly and this keeps my hands from cracking and bleeding, especially in the winter. I removed a star because the last value size container I bought was 5.4 oz and this value size container is listed as 6.8 oz but it is
I had bought a small jar from walmart and absolutely loved it. We went through the small jar pretty quickly so i decided to buy the larger jar from amazon. The product looked the same but did not feel or work the same, my hands burned and the lotion just sat on my skin. I recently bought another small jar from walmart and its totally

I have suffered with extremely dry skin on my right hand with severe cracking of the skin. I've tried different lotions and have visited 3 different Dermatologists hoping that somebody could help. I've used prescription hand creams and nothing worked. The reviews for this cream were amazing and I thought, what's the worse that can
I'm an RN- I can easily wash my hands or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer 80-120 times (or more) in a 12 hour shift. Lately my hands have been as dry and rough as sandpaper. Bought this product to try and I'm not impressed. It does not provide the deep moisturizing effect that I'm looking for. This product has a distinct 'silicone'

My hands get so dry from my job and just from the winter time being brutally dry where I live. I wanted to try something besides regular lotion to help my hands. They were covered in dry patches that itched, and the skin around my nails was peeling and bleeding constantly. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but I like Burt’s a lot,
PERFECT!! I love Burt’s bees, I’m a big fan of many of their skincare products and I love their lip products. I had been wanting this set for such a long time, but I was a bit indecisive on buying this set online because, I had read some bad reviews about the products being used and opened. I saw this exact same set at Walmart for
Bought this not to gift as is but to use individual items in little goodie bags for all the ladies in my family. I like that you can test so many products before actually investing a lot of money into a full size product.My only issue with this set is that everything that came in a jar or tin did not have the any sort of tamper proof

Don’t be skeptical this thing is amazing !!! I’m not easily excited and after a few swipes of this thing on my foot I was excited almost joyful !! I have had dried callused cracked feet for most of my life and being the stubborn man that I am I’ve just dealt with it . NEVER AGAIN !! I feel like I have new feet will purchase
Be sure you follow the advice of reviewers who said, “Be Careful!” I did, and I’m glad. thought this file was going to be like the PedEgg, which is good, but this thing is next level! If I had used the same technique with this file as I have with other callus removers, my feet would’ve been hamburger. With that being said, I’m
It did a great job! I've always had awfully cracked heels. I've tried a pumice stone and a buffer and other stuff like that but it has never given me the results I wanted! This product was so easy to use and gave great results the first

I love this tool! I’m a hair stylist/nail tech so I do a lot of pedicures. The hair stylist in me loves the metal tool because I stand 10-12 hours a day, several times a week, In not the best footwear, because fashion is important 😂, I can file my heels with a regular file, moisturize regularly, and have callouses back in a few
It’s amazing , my lifesaver , I tried many things like blade scraper , battery operated roller etc but this is the only one the best and works well for me.been looking for this for so
Hunni let me tell you how Amazon saved my life with this product. For my entire adult life I've been embarrassed about my dry, rough cracked feet. Most nights, I lay next to my husband with socks on to prevent me from shredding him with razor sharp calluses on my feet. I go to nail salons here and there for pedicures but who have that

If you have extremely dry and cracked feet or just want extremely soft feet, this is the product that beats all foot creams out there! It’s thick so I recommend putting some socks on after you apply to your feet or put it on before bed. It’s a luxurious feeling when your feet feel this soft and smooth! No overwhelming smells either.
I have very dry heels. Sometimes they get painful cracks that look like a desolate land where no living organism could survive. A doctor friend once told me that the best remedy for a deep crack in the heels was super glue.That was when I decided to get serious about preventing this awful condition.I have tried so very many different
My tubes came not properly filled! One tube was as much as half empty. This item was listed as being non-refundable but, since it’s a product I’ve used happily for years, I wasn’t too bothered. I figured I knew exactly what I was getting, but was pretty upset when it turned out I’d been shortchanged in volume. You’d be better

I was skeptical in buying this because I've been using a Ped-Egg for several years, but I am so glad that I did. I literally swiped it over my foot once and the skin fell offlike dust. It took about 10 minutes to do both feet, and my feet look like a fresh child's foot. This thing is spectacular! I did my right foot
awesome product. I am a nail tech and will definitely be putting these in my salon. Thank
I wish I'd taken before and after pics. I have really bad heels---cracking to bleeding point. I am barefoot ALL THE TIME. I bought this as a chance based on reviews. Why people are complaining this is so sharp---it supposed to be. Simply put BEFORE applying it hard against your feet start gently and work from there, work it from

I purchased an expensive set just like this for $50 from CosmoProf for a special event. As a licensed nail tech we want the BEST for our clients. However I learned the best doesn’t always equate to higher cost. This set is amazing I just had two clients (two manicures and pedicures) and the nipper cut my time in half!! The size is
Disclaimer: I have nothing to compare these against as I just started manicuring myself and this is the first set I’ve bought. Having said that, I read all the reviews and researched different options before purchasing.Review:- Nipper works perfectly to cut hangnails.- Textured rubberized grip on the handles of both tools allows for
Just received my cuticle pusher and nippers and had to try them right away! They are great! Love how the pusher is rounded (at first I didn’t think I would). It pushes the cuticle back really well. The nippers are really sharp. Especially for the price. I have given up paying big bucks for really nice nippers because when dropped

What can I say? This stuff works. I have diabetic neuropathy which does crazy things to feet. From numbness to pain, to really dry, flaky skin. It's very easy to get an infection when your feet are numb. It's a double-edged sword. By having numb feet, you can't feel when something pokes or otherwise breaks the skin, and since you
So I'm a guy who didn't take care of his feet the way they should be taken care of. I wear boots every day to work for a total of 16 hours a day. I used a pretty standard foot spray and changed out the insoles of my boots on a regular basis. However after using this foot soak after just a few times I've noticed a drastic change in my
I bought this for toenail fungus but what mostly impressed me was the change in my cracked heals. Totally unexpected. First pic was 3 weeks after starting. I took the pic after I noticed it healing my deep cracks that I've had since my teens. The second one is 2weeks later. Wish I'd known it would have healed them up as I've been

I used just the rasp one day at the end of my shower. I was SO impressed with how well it worked I had to do an at home pedicure a few days later to really put the set to the test. This set passed with flying colors. This set did a better job than anything else I have ever used, INCLUDING paying for a pedicure.I wear shoes as little
Excelente
I told my SIL about this and then ordered one to give her as a gift.I am so mad that none of my friends ever told me about the rasp. I've used the grater before & my sis-in-law and I swear by them. This grater has larger holes than the one I got at a cheap hair shop, but it is also so much sturdier and better made.What I want to talk

I am a nail tech for 22 years! It is getting harder and harder to find good quality products. These buffers are GREAT! Perfect grit and very durable! Here lately I've been going through one while buffer per client. I actually use one edge per client with these. If it wasn't for sanitary reasons I could use this thing for a week or two.
For the price and the amount you get, there's really nothing to complain about at all! They are a little coarser for a deeper grind so if you're looking for ones that have one side that's finely grained for a gentle smooth buff, these arent going to be what you want but overall, great quality and amount especially for what the price is!
In caring for my (almost) 97 year old father, I have the hardest time finding products that will work for his needs and friendly for him to use as well. Caring for his feet is a major dilemma, but the file and buffer duo has helped tremendously. As a plus, the brightly colored buffers intrigued him so much that he is taking an active

This stuff is amazing. Seriously. My feet have been cracked non-stop for probably the last 10 years. I've tried literally everything- Pedicures, Ped-egg, Gold Bond foot cream, lotion every night with socks on, pumice stones, that ridiculous mouthwash/shaving cream home "remedy"...I was just about to buy a foot chemical peel when
Love this stuff! Been living with cracked feet for YEARS! Stuff is a miracle!Tips:1. Instead of wearing a sock which I find absorbs the cream (a waste in my opinion) - wear a silicone heel protector for 15 to 30 minutes after applying. The silicone will hold in the moisture in instead of absorbing it.This is will allow your foot to
I always read reviews, but rarely write them. I felt compelled to write one for O'Keefe's Healthy feet as this is the real dead. I usually let my feet be handled by professionals - i.e. pedicures, but I recently had a baby and couldn't find the time to go for the better part of a year. I walk around barefoot all the time and almost

These nail clippers are definitely worth buying.The material is nice and sturdy evrything feels quality made, even the nail filer it came with is nice not flimsy. The wide angle nail clipper was perfect for my dads Fungus nails. His nails were so fat thick and nasty he used to have to use literally a saw blade to manually saw off parts
I was looking for a good nail clipper set as my old one was getting dull with age and an ingrown toe nail was becoming more bothersome everyday. I was impressed with the excellent quality of this set. My old clipper was really too small and hard to handle, but this one comes with a large set of tools and I was finally able to get much
These clippers are sharper that anything that I have purchased in the past. The wide jaw toe-nail cutter is well built and functional. The fingernail clipper fits well in my hand and catches flying nails, which I like a lot. The large handles on the nail scissors make it easy to hold and I like the pointy blades. I will get good use out

I bought the Harperton Nail Clipper Set from Amazon - a bit pricey, but the customer rating was pretty high and there were a good number of reviews, so I made the purchase. The clippers (large & small) appeared well built, and worked very well out of the package. The cutting edges on both the large & the small clippers were very well
After having used these clippers for a while I can honestly say the following:1- They are well constructed and will probably last quite a while2- The alignment of the cutting 'blades' are perfect and leave a clean cut making filing afterwards an option3- Both the larger and smaller clippers appear to have the same cutter 'blade' radius
Comparison between Harperton, Seki and Green Bell clippersMy favorite clippers, alas, fell into a black hole. We launched a clipper hunt around the house and found an appallingly large number of clippers – but I liked none of the ten or so pairs we discovered, none of which were the lost favorites.So I embarked on a quest for new

A fantastic product for extremely dry hands like mine. It surpasses any other hand cream I've tried. Best gift two years in a row! Especially amazing in the winter, and I have sensitive skin that burns with certain creams that claim to be gentle on hands. It feeds the skin, not coats it, so dry skin becomes healthy, not covered in a
The quality of this hand lotion is sublime, and I have been using this exact item for about 7 years. There is nothing else I would even bother purchasing in terms of silky hand lotion that absorbs, little to no odor, and works like a charm on hands abused by hot water, hot/cold climate changes in Texas, and general hand aging. The only
I love this hand cream & have been using it for about 5 years. As many others have said, it does a fantastic job of moisturizing my hands with a very small quantity of cream.

Seriously folks! Holy canoli this thing blew me away. I have used a PedEgg and other files for YEARS and what a friggen waste of time and money compared to this masterpiece. This thing gets down to business like it's payday! I was watching the dead skin shave off like a cheese grater going after a hunk of parmesean over someone's
This thing works great, especially on manly, "cement feet". Since you can control the pressure, I'd imagine it would work well on well-kept, girly feet too. This keeps my otherwise gnarly man-feet looking like they're ready for a close-up. I might just become a foot model now. Lol. Seriously, it works very well on beat up
I love it if your looking for serious foot rehab look no further. Damn this thing is
