Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening System Review

It's been a good long while since I've had white teeth and I admit, I had gotten a bit self-conscious about it. I consume at least two liters of tea per day and have done so for the last 25 years with no serious attempts at counteracting the staining and at nearly 40, it has added up. I do use whitening toothpaste, but I simply have not been willing to smile with my teeth showing in up close pictures. I had been kind of casually thinking I should do something about it, but I wasn't interested in going to the dentist and forking out a ton of money for a cosmetic problem. When I had the opportunity to try Smile Brilliant to review for the blog, I was really excited to see what the results might be. The downside is that I have super sensitive teeth and fragile gums so I made a great guinea pig for those of you with the same issues. I tested this system over several months and I really think it can work for those of us with habits that stain our teeth AND extreme sensitivity. Let's have a look!

2X Super Chip Resistance Review

I have a different sort of product to share with you today - this is not a nail polish, but a treatment that can help your nail polish last longer. Now, I usually change my nail polish every day because I am constantly reviewing new colors, but when I want to wear a polish longer, my thin flexible nails frequently let me down. I am lucky if I can get one or two days without a chip. So I was intrigued to find out if 2X Super Chip Resistance could help - and it did! I've got more about it after the break...
