Brand new Ellagee Nail oil


Hello again Obsessionista's we have a press sample and review of a nail oil by Ellagee. If you love Ellagee's nail polishes you are going to want to get the new nail and cuticle oil. I feel privileged she picked me to try and test out her brand new oil. I have been testing out a brand new roll on nail oil for two weeks now or so. 

Mine was the unscented which is now renamed the Nature's Bouquet roll on. I am going to put a disclaimer of the ingredients found in the nail oils. I have been given permission by Ellagee to put the exact ingredients from the site on here. We both want everyone to know you should have allergies.This does contain nut oil. For full list of ingredients see below. 
Press Sample


Ingredients shown below are directly from Ellagee store page. Please read them. 
"This cuticle oil is powerful but light and absorbs quickly, leaving your cuticles and hands silky smooth. Made from high quality all natural oils, no perfumes or dyes.
Instructions: Apply to cuticles and nails and allow to sit for a few minutes. Massage into cuticles as you gently push them back from the nailbed, working excess oil into hands. Use an alcohol swab to remove oil from nails before manicuring for best polish adhesion.
Nature's Bouquet smells very light and natural, with a bit of a sweet, nutty edge. It contains pure natural jojoba oil, shea nut oil, grapeseed oil and vitamin E oil. 

Orange Blossom Special has a mild citrusy/floral scent and contains the same plus a touch of sweet orange oil, honeysuckle oil, and tea tree oil. 

No artificial fragrances or perfumes in either.


Please test on a small patch of skin to be sure you are not allergic to any ingredients before use."

Before using nail oil 3-5 times a day or when I take nail polishes off and on.
 No oil on nails or cuticles. No hand cream on them either. 


As you can see this is the roll on oil.


I thought you might like to see an up close picture of the top of the roller ball. I have been informed you can pop it off and refill. I will warn you it will not be easy to get it off, but it is possible.

I am honestly pretty new to indie oils and using them regularly. I have however had nail oils used on me if I went into a salon to have a mani or nails put on. A few years back I used a nail oil that was bought over the counter. This is a indie nail polish maker who made the nail oil. 

I tested the one that had the roller ball which was unscented (renamed Nature's Bouquet). I personally loved the ridges of the bottle. I could hold onto it better. Now the reason she changed bottles is the label won't stay on there well. There was nothing wrong with the product just the bottle is different. I understand the bottle is bigger and other options are a smooth side too.


I live in the midwest and the winter here this year has been so weird so blizzardly cold to unseasonably warm. Now in the past before I was doing blogs I never noticed how the weather effects a person hands and cuticles. I was just using hand lotions and that was not enough. I can say this year I am noticing this and have been trying a couple different options out. You may ask yourself why do I need nail oil? I am not a cosmologists but I have done Marykay for years. 

I will explain it like this the skin around your nails is like your skin on your face. If you are someone who has oily skin whether it be on your face or nails you still need to put oil back into the body. If you don't you will start the aging effect sooner and have problems with skin texture too. I can attest to this I have both oily and dry skin. I know it is weird but true. If I don't use oil to rehydrate skin, hair or nails I can tell you my skin, hair, and nails pays a price for it.  One of the benefits to using oil is it helps with hang nails and dry and cracked cuticles too. 

Now I know we don't always want to talk about our feet but let's think about it. You hydrate you hands and fingers shouldn't you hydrate the toes too. I know I am using and going to keep using it on toe nails. Just a thought for you to think about. 

I think something my readers need to think about. Some men may not like all that we use on our hands and body, but I think this is one of the unisex products. Picture a person male or female worker who has been outside all day. Their hands are dry and cracked this would be perfect to get or give as a gift. That goes with someone who has a job outside in the hot summer months too. This nail oil goes on a like a dream. So smooth and doesn't feel greasy like some of the others out there I have tried before. It soaks in and if it doesn't completely soak in you can rub it in. Remember to rub it on the cuticles and under the nail tips too and, I do mine all of the nail from tip to knuckle. I am frequently using nail polish remover/acetone to take off the polish I am often using on my blog, therefore I need to use a nail oil more often.


After As you can see not greasy looking. 
Within minutes it soaks in your skin and cuticles. 

So lets do a quick recap. 
1. I believe anyone could use this male or female from young to old. I have been using it on my daughter fingers. Just make sure they don't put their hands in their mouths. 

2. Remember to keep hands hydrated year round.

3. This would be a perfect gift to the love ones in your life. I would get a couple you know they are going to want one at home and one at your job or for your purse. 


The 10 ml Roll-On-Bottle 

It comes in Natures Bouquet and Orange Blossom Special scents.
The other option is for the 15 ml Brush in a bottle 

 Same size as the polishes come in. Scents of Natures Bouquet and Orange Blossom. The green roll on and polish bottle pictures where taken by Ellagee and given permission to represent them on Coloure My Obsessions blog page. 


Ok we have come to the end of this lovely polish review. 
Thank you to Ellagee for giving me a chance to review a brand new product of hers. I just would like to let her know I appreciate it. I look forward to working with her in the future.

Seven & Parker ---Mystic Mafia and Peek A Boo

Hello again Obsessionista's we will have a review of the lovely Seven & Parker. I will be show casing two polish one of which I used as a accent on the nail. Seven & Parker just recently reopened their business. This business is an upcoming company. They do everything from glitters to holo and shimmer. Make sure to check out there base and top coats. She is getting ready to release some more new releases soon. She just released in the last couple weeks some brand new colors. I have yet to get my hands on those colors. This is going to be short and sweet but you will see great pictures. 


Mystic Mafia and Peek A Boo

Mystic Mafia is a holo glitter top or all in one color. In the pictures you will see three coats for opaque. You can wear Mystic Mafia over anything Seven & Parker or anything you own. It will give you a something extra over any polish. Peek A Boo is on the pinky nail only. I didn't show it on these pictures but you could put it over mystic mafia. It is pretty I have done it before.

Liquid Sky Lacquer part 2

Part 2 of Liquid Sky Lacquer 

Hello my Obsessions follower's. We have the final three polish of Liquid Sky Lacquer blogger set. I will apologize up front for the cuticles they are healed now but in these pictures they were not completely. If you catch some that I didn't get to clean up that is because anything put on them burned even worse. These are all holo's some are from her Christmas line but you could use these anytime. We will have And Syrup, White Christmas, and Sleigh Me. I will once again show you some indoors and outdoors with or with out flashes. I am always going to try to bring you different ways to show you the polishes. I want to show how it could look in all lights and settings. Let's take a look now at the red, brown and white holo's. For more information below.


Sleigh Me 



Sleigh Me is a tricky color to catch. In some pictures it came through like a true red and others you see more of a orange red. Sleigh me has a light linear holo and scattered holo too. All pictures with Sleigh Me have three coats are opaque. A base coat was used too. 



Full Sun no flash. In this picture you see a light holo and scatter holo. 


Full Sun with out flash. This shot looks a little like orange red. 


As you can see the shift of the color red coming through. In this shot looks more red. 

                             
       

Outside in sun no flash. I also picked up some snow/ice to show a little different picture. To me this gives the picture a different and unique look.

Above Sleigh Me is with no flash with full sun

These four finger pictures are hard to capture. It goes to show you even holo's are hard to catch. The camera was focused on the skin. 

                   

          Left photo of Sleigh Me is with cloudy skies.       Right photo is full sun with flash 

              

Left photo Sleigh Me is partial sun no flash.       


White Christmas



White Christmas is silver gray white holo. In some pictures you will see either a light cast of blue or green shift coming through. You will see the linear holo and some scattered holo too in my pictures. This color can but layered up. White Christmas can also be a neutral shade for work too. This would be the perfect accompaniment to a french mani. These are just a few ideas you could do with this Christmas shade. I have used three coats and are opaque. I also used a base and top coat too. 



Taken with light box and flash indoors. With fake lights.

and Syrup!



And Syrup! is a bronzey neutral brown. The lighter the coat the more sheer neutral it looks on your nail. This is one you could wear everyday to work. Should you put three coats of and Syrup! it will be a darker but still neutral brown. I feel this shade will work on any skin tone. My skin tone currently is a light pale ivory. Will see pictures indoor and outdoor lights. This is a super linear holo. Opaque in three coats.

Now the pictures on the right side are some what blurry. There was so much holo going on my camera was not sure what to focus on.

I have enjoyed these colors. I am a big fan of neutrals and reds so this was a enjoyment to play with. I will be using the liquid sky lacquer again in the future. I have many more that will be on the blog in the future. If you want to get these they do go fast. The cost for each one is $12 a piece and ships very fast too.
