Holiday Gift Suggestions: For that DIY Manicurist...

Black Friday, Super Saturday, Cyber Monday or maybe it's Early Thursday, whatever you want to call it, the 2012 Holiday Shopping Season is fast approaching. It's time to find gifts for your friends and family or even better, for yourself. From personal experience and from what experts tell us, it's best to shop with a list and a budget in mind.  I'm sure that either you or maybe someone you know is a DIY manicurist and/or pedicurists. Even before the beginning of my blog, I have been beating the moisturize, moisturize, moisturize drum, so as you can imagine my excitement when given the opportunity to review some of the 2012 CND Limited Edition Holiday gifts and gift sets. They consisted of several moisturizing products.  I want to take this opportunity to share them with you and maybe give you some ideas for your gift list.  As a nail care/nail polish addict, I would love to receive any of these in my Christmas Stocking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first is a re-release of a much loved product--CND Solar Oil. Solar Oil is an Award-winning cuticle oil infused with jojoba oil and vitamin E.  "Repeated use drives nutrients in deeper, creating stronger, healthier nails and hydrated cuticle area." As I have posted previously, I love both jojoba and vitamin E oils for my home-made cuticle oil, so CND Solar Oil is a great commercial product. This limited edition formula features a new fragrance of heliotrope, vanilla, and golden amber.  I'm loving the soft vanilla scent. It's not over-powering. Suggested retail price is $11.50 USD/$14.40 CAD.

Next in the 2012 CND Limited Edition Holiday Collection is the Holiday Scentsations trio. "These scented lotions moisturize skin and bring holiday cheer to the senses." The trio includes Celebrate (hint of vanilla, berries and fresh floral), Enchant (hint of sandalwood, amber and floral), and Delight (hint of amber and floral)." Suggested retail price is $12.00 USD/$15.00 CAD.
 
BTW: Delight is my favorite scent; but the each smells great and works well to moisturize my hands.

Lastly, is a manicure/pedicure set, The Cucumber Hand and Heel Therapy Collection.  "This limited edition gift set comes with the new extreme hydrating hand cream, Cucumber Hand Therapy and the award winning Cucumber Heel Therapy. Both of these intensive moisturizing complexes leae your hands and feet deeply conditioned all seaso long." 

I love this Cucumber Heel Therapy. I like to apply it to my feet before I put my socks on, especially during these cooler months. It keeps my feet soft and moisturized.  These two products have a clean cucumber scent that is not over-powering and would make another great gift for that DIY manicurist/pedicurist on your list.  Suggested retail price is $19.90 USD/$24.90 CAD.

So check your gift list and make note of those that would appreciate these gifts of moisture. Alone or as part of a Nail Polish Addict's gift basket, the 2012 CND Limited Edition Holiday gifts and gift sets will be loved by all who receive them.

The 2012 CND Limited Edition Holiday gifts and gift sets have been available starting in November, 2012 for a limited time, in salons, and professional beauty supply stores. For locations, visit www.cnd.com.

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.
