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

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.

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)

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!
