| Neal's Yard Hand Care Collection - £28.50
Anyone that knows me would be surprised to
hear that I splashed £28.50 on this Neal's Yard Hand and Nail set. I
normally stick to the budget brands. With so much competition in the market
now, cheaper (in the monetary sense) brands have certainly been pulling
their weight of late.
Despite my tight ass disposition, I ordered the set
around Christmas time. Everyone should gift themselves at Christmas time
anyway, right?
The set contains:
Nourishing Melissa Hand Polish 100g
Melissa Hand
Cream 30ml
Nourishing Melissa Nail Balm 10ml
Nail Brush
When the set arrived I was immediately
disappointed, the size of the hand cream and balm are completely
disproportionate to the polish. Not wanting to judge this book by its cover, I
decided it was probably the case that 'a little goes a long way'. Wishful
thinking as this was not the case. You need to use a more then normal
amount of the hand cream to cover both hands. The polish is black in colour,
and while it may be petty to mention, it just didn’t float my boat. I kept this
product in the bathroom and it just wasn’t a product I'd associate with
cleanliness. The nailbrush, in my opinion, is a waste. Unless you would like to
remove a layer of skin, bin it!
After a couple of weeks, I began to question the
effects. I found my hands to be very dry, particularly around the cuticles. My
nails were weak, broken and in general, just the pits. I stopped using the
product, changed back to an old reliable and noticed a positive change.
A month passed and I thought I'd give the set a go
again. I was very disappointed to have found the same results after only a couple of
applications.
Other websites rave about this product, but I for
one wont be unfortunately.
Let me know if you have tried these products and
what you thought?
