GTG Tries It... Julep's Oxygen Nail Treatment

Hi gals!

Remember how I recently shared with you the items I received in my Julep Maven February box? And remember how I promised I'd come back with a review on the Julep Oxygen Nail Treatment?

Well I know it's May, but I had to try out the product and even more importantly find the time and words to write this review. So let's get it cracking:

This new semi new product is dubbed as makeup for your nails by Julep. As per the instructions found on the back of the packaging, this treatment should be applied to clean nails (meaning no base coat, polish/lacquer or top coat) one to two times a week over a period of 4 weeks.

Product: Julep's Oxygen Nail Treatment

Claims: A revolutionary treatment for weak nails that conditions and restructures nails in just 4 weeks because of its groundbreaking oxygen technology. Julep also states that the patented formula can restructure nails to a stronger, thicker and smoother condition in just one stroke!

Before I actually go into my impressions of the product, I do want to disclose that while my nails are prone to breakage they are strong and grow because of the Biotin vitamins I take. I've also discovered that getting regular manicures has helped the condition of my nails. 

Actually: I'm really not sure about this product. I've used it a few times since I've gotten it mostly in between manis,  I throw this on as a quick fix because it has a high gloss and hint of color that makes my nails look better versus having them bare.

While I enjoy the look of my nails with this on, I can't truly say that it's done much for the overall health and growth of my nails, though I will continue to use it in between manis. 

Pros: Luckily for me, my nails aren't very yellowish- so the very light pink tint makes my nails look like they aren't completely bare, which is a plus in my book!

Cons: This oxygen treatment has a really strong odor, which is neither pleasant or terrible, but it's strong and it's very much present even after it has dried.

It seems to run out very fast because considering I've only used it a few times, it's halfway through.

Overall Recommendation: It doesn't look I'll be asking my lovely ladies to go out and invest in this product anytime soon considering it's between $14-$18 and doesn't last too long. Even though I don't use it as is recommended, it claims it can change your nails in one stroke and well that just wasn't the case.

Until next time beauties!
