Total Nail RX Nail Treatment Products

The Total Nail RX line of nail treatment and specialty products is fairly new to the market. I have seen it only at Walgreens, so it may be exclusive to them.

The line features a number of items aimed at various nail issues, such as chipping, strength, ridges etc. It also features a French manicure set and base and top coats. I purchased the Fill Me In surface smoothing base coat and the Slick Fast Dry top coat.The Nail RX base coat did a nice job of filling in ridges and providing a good surface for polish to adhere to that is not too slick, but not overly tacky. The base coat appears to be a peach color in the bottle, but it dries clear.

The Slick Fast Dry top coat also worked quite well. It provided a quick hard surface and gave off a nice amount of shine.

My one complaint about the line is that the bottles come with a thick rubber band around the lids that I suppose is meant to make it anti-slip when using the brush. But the band falls off of the bottom and I found it uncomfortable if pushed up. Fortunately, it is easy to remove, so it would not stop me from purchasing the items, nor does it prevent me from recommending them.

Look for Total Nail RX products at Walgreens stores by the other nail products. Price regularly runs from around $7-$10, but I have seen the items on sale fairly frequently.

Sally Hansen Natural Shine, Instant Nail Finish

Something that I suspect will make my list as one of the year’s best new products is Sally Hansen Natural Shine Instant Nail Finish. This product is perfect for when you don’t want to wear nail polish, but want to have a nice clear finish look with little effort. The product dries almost instantly and gives the nails a bit of sheen, so that they look neat and groomed. It also contains vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5, sea minerals, calcium, and magnesium to strengthen and nourish the nails.

Natural Shine Instant Nail Finish comes in clear and pink tint. I purchased the pink tint (the gold colored container), which really looks clear to me. Any tint to it is barely noticeable. I love how fast the product dries and it really does look nice. I’m pretty lazy when it comes to doing my nails, and I tend to avoid wearing polish a lot because I always chip it so fast. So this product is perfect for me. Overall I think I will be using this product very often and I definitely recommend it.
