I love it when salons and services I trust come out with their own beauty products! One of my favourite beauty bars in the city, The 10 Spot, recently launched their own nail polish line called Get Nailed Lacquer.
This amazing new collection boasts strong, saturated colours, long-lasting wear and easy application – $12 per lacquer. Colours are classic and trendy, plucked from the runway and developed with customer feedback in mind. They’re made locally with absolutely NO formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) or camphor and they’ve never been tested on animals.
Staying true to The 10 Spot‘s sexy service names, they’ve come up with some blush-worthy colour names too! I stopped by their Leslieville location as soon as I heard about these fabulous new products and picked up two colours:
- I Don’t Even Know Your Name! – Sexy Hot Pink
- Watch the Hair! – Sweet Creamy Lilac
But wait…there’s MORE! In addition to this sexy line of lacquers, they’ve also launched Get Nailed Microbeads ($6) so you can create your own textured looks and nail art – or as they would call it N’ART!
The best bang for your buck – DIY Kits that include one lacquer, the matching microbeads, mini manicure accessories and instructions – all for $20!
I picked up the microbeads to match my colours and did my own microbead accent nails at home! It was super easy and I think it looks great! I love that the microbeads are subtle yet still eye-catching. The textured and slightly raised accent nail looks really interesting next to normal shiny polished nails and sometime they catch the light and sparkle. I’ve seen a few people stare at them trying to figure them out and some ask if they’re little gems or crystals. Definitely a beauty addict conversation starter!
What do you think?
My only complaint – the microbead containers are too shallow and really full. It’s hard to open them without spilling. Even with the “please open carefully” warning in mind, I spilled them and post-mani, it was hard to put them back without spilling them again. I think a bottle shape would be better, or a deeper container with a little extra room.
Great products though! I love my mani and can’t wait to try the lilac “Watch the Hair!” colour! Hehe…love those names.
