**REVIEW** Nail Cones

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I love to paint my nails, but I absolutely hate how the nail polish gets all over my skin. So, when I heard about Nail Cones, I was really excited! Finally, a product for someone like me! I couldn't wait to get my hands on them.

They came via USPS in a cute pink envelope. Nothing fancy, no extra unnecessary packaging. Nail Cones usually come in a pack of 60 (4 sheets, 15 cones on each). However, since this was just a sample for review purposes, it was one sheet.

Each row is a different size (which I didn't realize until after I started applying them). The neat thing about the sizes is that each size has a different amount of ice cream (all three for small, two scoops for medium, and one for large). So, it's fairly easy to tell what size you're using.



To use these, you need to make sure your fingers and nails are washed and dried. If they're dirty or wet, the Nail Cone may not stick as well as it should, leading to nail polish being on your skin instead of only the nail. Once your fingers and nails are nice and clean, and dry, peel off the size you need. Place your nail in the center cutout, with the ice cream scoop under your nail. Take the sides of the Nail Cone and wrap it around the outside of your nail so that only your nail is exposed. Once you have done that with all your nails on one hand, you're ready to paint your nails! Don't worry about going super slow to avoid mess-ups. The Nail Cone, if applied correctly, will keep the polish on your nails. Once you have achieved the desired shade (one coat or more), allow it to dry fully before slowly removing the Nail Cones off your nails. Then do the same for the other hand.

As you can see from the pictures below, I used different sizes because I wasn't aware that there were three different sizes on each sheet. The top left picture shows the small size on my pinkie. It was a little big, which made it a bit difficult to apply it correctly. The top right picture is my ring finger and a medium size. As you can see, it was way too large. I did leave it, however, because I liked how I could overlap it at the bottom of my nail, which I could not do with the small on my pinkie. The bottom left shows all the Nail Cones and my freshly painted nails.

Unfortunately, these Nail Cones did not work for me. I really do love the idea, and wanted them to work for me. As you can see from the last picture above, there is still lots of polish on my fingers. I admit I was a little less careful than I usually am, but I wanted to test out these Nail Cones. If there were another smaller size, I am sure this wouldn't have been an issue. A friend suggested I try these out on my toe nails, but I couldn't get them to fit my toe nails either, even with the largest size.

Over the course of a week, I have sent two messages to see if they offered a children's size, but they have not yet responded to me. Hopefully, they are just busy and not able to respond to messages at the moment.

If you are interested in purchasing some Nail Cones of your own, or if you'd like more information, you can find them HERE.

**GIVEAWAY** More Boogie Wipes!!!

You already know how much I LOVE Boogie Wipes! I've said it a hundred times before, and I'll say it a hundred more times. They are seriously the most amazing product ever. They were made by moms to help clean up snotty noses better than plain dry tissues. They are saline wipes, so they aren't dry and irritating. They help to dissolve mucus that is stuck on the face, and soothe sore noses in the process.

But, did you know that they also double as cleaning wipes? I'm not so sure they were intended for that, but I have seriously cleaned almost everything with them. My husband has cleaned his shoes with them. I cleaned my daughter's table with one. I have even cleaned my car with one (dashboard and other interior surfaces). As of recently, I cleaned Gianna's face with one since she got into my makeup. One wipe took ALL the mascara off of her face. Check it out!

Amazing, isn't it!? 

My team, Boogie Busters, and I would love to give you an opportunity to win a Boogie Wipes prize pack of your own! This prize will be shipped directly from the Boogie Wipes warehouse, and may not be made up of the exact items you see in the following picture.

Boogie Wipes **GIVEAWAY**

It's time for yet another Boogie Wipes giveaway!! Instead of the typical Rafflecopter giveaway, I thought I'd try something new.

I have said many many times that Boogie Wipes are awesome. They are AMAZING!! They soothe sore noses, remove crusty mucus, and smell amazingly great!

But, did you know they do MORE than just that??? They are also awesome for removing food and pen/marker off your kids, work well as baby wipes in a pinch, and are even great for your pets! Have a pet with a leaky eye? Use a Boogie Wipe to get the crud off. Does your cat smell like he's been playing in his litter box? Use a Boogie Wipe to clean his paws off! I use them on my kitten's eyes, nose, paws, and even his ears.

He is much more tolerant of the Boogie Wipes than hairbows!

So, on to the contest details. Post a pic to my Facebook page of your child at their messiest. Spaghetti dinner? Finger painting? Mud bathing? Anything! Let me know what they were messy with, and how long it took to clean them up. If you want to include a post-clean-up pic in the comment of your post, that would be great! 

Contest starts Tuesday, February 3rd at Midnight EST and will continue until 11:59 PM EST on Monday, February 10th. Winner will be announced by Wednesday, February 12th. Winner will be chosen by my individual Boogie Wipes team, Boogie Busters. We are taking into consideration the biggest mess, and the hardest clean up. So, let's get to it! Good luck to all!!
