I typically post all product reviews on my other blog site: Being Wholly Vibrant. But this time, since this touches on our plants and other personal information, I’m including it here (and I may join these sites in future days as well). If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a few minutes of BONUS info on the audio this time too!):

Before

My daughter is a Color Street nail stylist, otherwise my fingernails would always be bare. I don’t like the chemicals involved in the polish or the removers, hate the smell, etc. And Richard is very sensitive to smells too (and always complained whenever I would “paint my nails” so I just didn’t do it very often.

About 6 years or so (she can correct me if I’m wrong) my daughter began selling Color Street fingernail polish which is real polish but comes in the form of nearly dry nail strips that one “applies” themselves to their fingernails. And you can get as creative as you want with these. Of course, now, the line has expanded to include some products you can brush on (and yes, they smell). These include a strengthener, ridge filler, and two different kinds of “top coat” one applies after their polish strip has “cured.”

I wear one style about once a month on average and only keep 6-12 packages of nail strips in the house at any one given time. Guys, you can skip this article unless you want to order any for your wife/girlfriend or want to do your own nails–I do know a few men who paint their nails (and of course, rock stars do it too). Ha!

All the most recent products I bought: Nail Strengthener, Cuticle cream, Ridge-filling primer, Matte top coat, and Plumping top coat

I haven’t tried the Matte top coat yet because I typically wear glitter styles of the nail strips and I can’t imagine why someone would want a glitter polish not to shine. But I will try it eventually. It came in one of the multi-item packages I got.

After

This was the first set of strips I applied after using the Strengthener and Ridge-filler. It applied easily, but it was an older set (these work best when you use them within a year of purchase). This set was a bit sticky so I had to patch a couple of them.

What I hadn’t thought of but was happily surprised to find out, was that after I’d patched a couple of the nails (joining two strips on one nail), after I finished applying the Plumping top coat and it drying, I couldn’t feel the join at all! This was thrilling because if I can feel a bump or wrinkle I will end up picking off all the polish over the first few days, and that’s hard on one’s nails–it’s always best to remove with remover, even if you use non-acetone remover like I do. And I use the Color Street remover too because it’s less harsh and has an oily base to it so my bare nails feel so much better after.

Color Street also recently began offering some makeup, and I’ll post a review of their mascara soon over on Being Wholly Vibrant. And do comment and let me know if you’d like to see these kinds of reviews here or on the other site. Note: The other site has ads.

Wrapping up, I’d say if you haven’t ever tried these Color Street nail strips, try them. You might be pleasantly surprised. And you can always give these as a small gift to the woman who “has everything.” Haha!

Here’s a recent blog post I did over on Being Wholly Vibrant about Color Street’s new mascara: https://beingwhollyvibrant.wordpress.com/2023/12/08/did-you-know-color-street-sells-mascara-now/

What I am known for

Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.

Energy/Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL. Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is more timely now than ever because I know people are suffering. (Let me know if you’re interested in working through the Integrating the Spirals course.)

As an empath I want to help ease suffering and raise our vibration to offer hope. I want to uplift others and expand our collective consciousness. I teach breath work and meditation so we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil with our breath to calm the amygdala and institute peace. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive non-programmed personal guidance.

  1. Omg!!! Im right next door! I never liked NH. Lol. Only because they were a ‘possession by ingestion’ state, even for weed! That was in another life and it is so so beautiful!

Thats for sure! ❤️

  2. I am the same way. None of the new nail trends work for me though. I tried doing the foil sheets and my nails looked like the tin man barfed on them. I even did it the way the instrustions said. Wth? I live how the foils look, but man what a pain in the-

    1. Oh, that’s sweet! You’re welcome. And do let me know if she tries them. I forgot to mention my daughter has put these on all three of her girls (our granddaughters). They wear very well. Now the eldest (who’s 12) puts them on herself and has been doing it for awhile.
