♥ P2 Totally Nail’tini or what about Nail Food?! ♥

| 16 Comments

Hello my Beauties,

recently i got a press release with delicious pictures for the upcoming P2 limited edition, which is sold in my local drugstore. 
Most of you who live outside of Germany will ask, why would you talk about a brand that we probably not going to have access to. And partly you are right, but i actually wanted to talk about nail care in general, as I know i have many nail art addicts as my readers and the press pictures just caught my eye, that i really had to share them with you. 

As you follow my blog, you might have noticed, that i’m not the biggest or the most creative nail art designer our there, even if i try to surprise you every ones in a while, but i always try to keep my nails and cuticles healthy and clean.
That’s why i really like P2 cosmetics. I remember, when it first introduced itself to the stores, it was just a nail care brand, selling creams and serum. Later on P2 changed it’s tactics and started manufacturing also very colorful and fun, but also really good quality nail polishes. That’s when the brand became really popular here. 

When i got the press mail a few day’s ago, i was quite surprised, as the products seemed to be very much hot summer, beach and vacation inspired. Not that i have anything against summer theme, but remember, it’s still winter (yes it’s snowing outside of my window as you read this), and usually companies are coming up with some kind of spring editions. But, without further rambling from my side, let’s take a look on the fun “Totally Nail’tini” goodies.

p2 'Totally Nail’tini' LE Nagellacksets nail polish setsThis is what they call: Nail‘Tini mix’n match nail polish cocktail set.
The stylish and bright trend colors are either highly opaque or very glittery. They can be mixed together, to create a fun festive nail look or simply worn by itself. You are invited to mix different colors and glitter together and see which other color might be the result.   These are always an eye catcher. Available in 010 shiny Manhattan, 020 flashy swimming pool and 030 brilliant cosmopolitan (all vegan). 2 x 7 ml: 3,45 €

Inside the cocktail glass you see the: Nail‘Tini fruit me up! nail sticker.
Nail sticker with numerous fruit theme, such as banana, melon, cherry ect. for a colorful summer inspired nail design.
50 pieces: 1,85 €

And now to the nail care products, that i’m personally really interested in.
P2 XXL Grow Power, UV Protect Top Coat,  Moisturizing Ultra Gel,  6-Step Buffer Nagelfeile  nail fileFrom left to right:
UV light Protect Top Coat - fast drying top coat, that protects your nail polish from fading and keeps your nails shiny.

XXL Grow Power - rich on active ingredients, this nail treatment contains the stimulative acerola cherry extract and the moisturizing D-panthenol. It naturally boosts the nail growth and smells like delicious seasoned cherries.
Vegan. 10 ml: 1,65 €
6-Step Buffer nail file 
each of the 6 steps has a different kind of surface & texture, which helps to get the right shape,  eliminate any roughness, smooth out the area and to polish the nail to an almost shiny finish. (This one really reminds me of the popular buffer Quicky by Manola Cristal)
2,65 €
Moisturizing Ultra Gel –
gives dehydrated nails their elasticity back. Thanks to D-Panthenol, Aloe Vera, vitamin C and E, your nails get the concentrated care at ones.

P2 	Nail Food Papaya Pomelo Ananas

Nail Food Ananas - same active ingredients, that strengthen the body of the nail with HexactiveTM. Cystine support the nail growth, zinc support the nail flexibility. D-Pabthenol and phospholipid maintain your nails and donate intensive moisture. Has a nice pineapple scent. Vegan. 10 ml: 2,45 €

So over all it’s a colorful, fruity and fun nail care limited edition, that P2 cosmetics comes out this march. (Isn’t the presentation just truly adorable?)
As you can see, there is a lot to choose from, depending on your own scent preference and what you rather want to take care of.
You can peel, moisturize, protect and smooth. Besides, that would make a great gift for any woman, whether it’s in a cocktail glass or in a cute Easter basket.
I’m definitely going to check out those nail food gel’s. They are basically nourishing nail gel’s with fruity extracts and micro pearls, that you only need to apply (daily if you like) and massage in.
I can tell you already, after a week of daily use, you will see the change in feel and look of your nails & cuticles for sure. (I’ve used something very similar by P2 before.)

What kind of nail care products, (brands and type: wax, gel, peeling) besides the usual base coat, are you using the most?
Have you tried for example the Ginseng nail elixir by ANNY (Nourishing concentrate for brittle and dry nails. Ginseng provides the nails with moisture. Protects and regenerates cracked cuticles. Nails become more resistant and grow back stronger.) I will def keep an eye on that product and really hope to test it soon.

I bet, the nail art lovers will have a lot of great tips for all of us! Please feel free to share.
Tell me if you like me to review any of these products more profound, when they finally come out.

Until next time – stay beautiful!

  1. If you don´t have much money, just applying a bit of nail polish can upgrade a look :) So great that you are writing a nail post. xoxo KJ

    • Kajsa, i would say a clear top coat is always a “Plan B”, but im sure you can think of a nice healthy nail care routine to pamper your nails a little bit more. ;) And usually you don’t need a lot of cash for that. Rubbing some grape seed oil into your cuticles can make already a difference!
      Thanks, i will try to do something nails related soon again. :)

      • Most certainly. Even a strong red or pink works. You are right with the “Plan B,” nails look healthy with just a clear top coat. You´re welcome :) Love to follow your blog.

  2. I love the nail colors! I use almond oil for my cuticles (as well as cooking) in between manis.

  3. What a great post! Really like the concept of a base color combined with a glitter one! :D And I’d love to try the cuticle scrub

    • Are there any similar products being sold in your local stores, dear?
      Yes the concept of mixing and matching the bacis colors & creating new combinations is quite cool. :)

  4. Ooooh these look lovely! And yummy too! Haha! :D

    Aysh xoxo

  5. i don’t mind that you’re sharing some P2. I don’t live in Germany, but I loooove P2. Last summer I went to Germany with my husband. The first thing I did …. I ran in to the drugstore. Oh I can’t remember the name now. But any how I bought there the finest nailcare oil I’ve ever had. And I also drooled for al the pretty lacquers there had. I can’t wait untill summer to make an other trip again.

    • Hey dear, thanks for that comment. I know how it feelssometimes, when you read a post about a line, that you can’t really get in your surrounding, but i often find the new products by P2 so adorable, that i just want to talk about it. They do have a nice variaty of nail polish colors. I often use their crackling top coats in silver, gold and black.
      And besides, there are always dupes for nail care items out there, right?! So it’s not so bad to talk about these goodies here ;)
      What kind of nail treatment do you like to use, besides that nail oil?

      • I am at home now and I remembered the name of the store! It’s DM hehe. I also love the peeling of rival de loop. And I daily use a handcream and before each mani I apply a basecoat. ;-)

  6. I swear you give the best reviews, they are so complete and thorough! I’ve been killing my poor toes on my runs and I’m desperately looking for something to keep them strong!

    • Aww Caro, you make me blush. Thank you for the kind words. I try my best.
      Well for a high heels lover such as you are, you def need something to pamper your toes. What are you usually doing for them and your nails in general?
