Product reviews: Avon's Instant Manicure

I have been buying Avon products for over ten years now and have been selling for three. Ever since this product was first advertised, it has been my number one seller as well as my own personal favorite product.

As a career mom, I do not have much extra time in my day to spend on my nails. This product allows me to spend a few minutes every few weeks with results that look like I have had a manicure. No more paint, wait, paint (second coat), wait and then go.

It is a simple as stick and go.

The instant manicure instructions are as follows:

Pick a color size up to your nails. Peel off the sticker on the back of the color. Lay on your finger nail and smooth out any bubbles. Fold down over the end of your nail pushing against the end of the nail peel off the excess.

Typically it is time consuming painting your nails. You first have to paint a base coat, paint a layer of polish, paint a second layer of polish so that it evens out the color, then apply a layer of top coat. You must remember to wait for it to dry between layers.

I am very hard on my nails on a daily basis. So I have put this product to the test, as well as many other nail products. The instant manicure was able to with stand my daily household chores such as dishes, chemicals used to clean the bathroom and kitchen, tidying up and laundry. The next test was my nine hours of work a day on a computer keyboard. Generally nail polish would only last two days max on my fingers without a scratch or chip. There are days that the polish does not last a few hours. The instant manicure surpasses every other product because I can go for weeks without a chip in the polish. This is by far the best product that I have ever used.

This product comes in many different color options. My personal favorite is the Pink French Manicure.

What makes me sad is that this product is no longer available. I have been told by the company that there are no plans to bring it back. The company has told me that the product is no longer available for them. I am crossing my fingers that the leadership at this company will see the value in this product and bring it back.
