Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've gone through a handful of different "artsy" hairstyles in my time. Currently, I am going for more of a "society-friendly" look.

So my hair is very Asian. What I mean by that is that it is very straight and actually quite strong; it really does not taper to the sides of my head, but rather "self spikes" in a sense giving me a faux-fro if my hair is long enough. A bit like a static hair after a balloon rub. When I had long spiked hair, I went through a variety of products, mostly gels and even glue to get 3-4" spikes. I actually found the best product to use was Murray's Hair Dressing Pomade, Superior, 3 oz.. This was goopy enough that, when lathered on generously, had enough to hold the spikes up but not have the crusty look of gel. I also applied this when I let my hair down, just with less product. Now a days, I have short hair, but want to keep it a bit styled, so I run a very light amount of Murray's through and it gives my hair a nice "messy" look.

This product is much different from Murray's. Murray's is much waxier and stickier. This product is thinner and slimier. I ran a small portion through my hair. It feels nice on my hair, not unlike gel when it is first applied. It holds my hair together rather nicely and doesn't feel too gross when running my hands through it later. The scent, I believe, is supposed to resemble coconut... but like others, I do not care for the smell. Throughout the day, if you rub your hands through your head or wear a hat, it will "unbond" slowly... this may be a normal occurrence for hair products, but it won't set anything in stone.

This is probably going to boil down to what kind of hair you have, as mine is fairly different from the norm. I think it is a better choice than gel, perhaps a "cleaner" option than Murray's (easy to wash out). But personally for me, Murray's is what I am sticking with.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program These Motions products are, I think, developed for people with a very different hair type than mine. In this case, regardless of the hair it's designed for, it's just a very runny and thin product; not something I would consider a pomade. Your mileage may vary, but it's not for me.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program upon opening the container its very glittery/shiny due to some additive. this pomade styles reasonably wellconsidering how thin it is anyway. I find it to be closer to a gel than a pomade. Reminds me of a gel I used to use in the 80's as a kid.

It has a vaguely pina colada scent to it, so that's a plus. I personally dislike it because i feel its too thin to be considered a pomade. It has a very mild hold to say the least, not as strong as id expect from a pomade.

its a perfectly fine hair styling product, but to say its a pomade is being pretty optimisitc. But if you're looking for a pomade that isnt too stiff and has a mild hold that give you a good shine on your hairthis isnt a bad product.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I chose to rate Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade 4 stars because it works well applied lightly. I emulsify (warm) it around tip of finger first and then wraps 1 inch sections around the wavy bottom half of my hair and it creates more defined waves. I do not care for the smell, would prefer something like Redkin Anti-snap or an apple/grape scent.

I highly recommend trying this pomade first with just one jar before ordering a pack of 6 from Amazon and later discovering you may not like it and your stuck with 6 jars!

Altough it has few ingredients, I would have preferred Motions company not to use Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Benzyl Benzoate and replace mineral oil with olive or coconut oil.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Motions At Home Shine Enhancing Pomade smooths my hair without making it look greasy. It also delivers the shine it promises. However, the "sculpting" effect doesn't last the entire day...maybe an hour or two. I have a very slight cowlick in my bangs and have been unsuccessful at managing it with this product. I've used Bed Head in the past and will go back to that product.

This makes drying my curly hair quick, easy and frizz free. I use with the DevaCurl line, no poo, one condition and arc angel. To get more volume use double prong clips a the roots, see DevaCurl online to find out how to place them, but buy the box of 100 clips at Sally's for a lot less $.

I bought this a bit cheaper on eBay, but as far as I can tell it's the exact same product. It's a pity that Amazon lists the various colors of the product as separate products rather than one product that comes in different colors. This way, reviews end up scattered around the various listings. But I got the white one, so I'll review the white one.

So here is the question I'm sure everybody is waiting for: Why on earth would I want to spend this much money on a hair dryer?

First of all, I did not spend quite as much as the list price here, since as I mentioned I bought elsewhere for a good discount. But even with a good discount, this hair dryer is expensive. A good consumer grade hair dryer is usually more in the $20-50 range.

Well, let's start at the beginning. I hate hairdryers, because they take forever. Sure, I like the idea of drying my hair with a hairdryer. It makes it nice and smooth, and you get to dry it as you are putting in product, rather than haphazardly directing the product in the general direction of still wet hair and hoping that once it all dries up the product will cause the result to look better than it would have without. But at the same time, I'm busy (or, if you prefer, lazy.) Usually, my sloth wins out over my vanity, and I just towel dry my hair and get on with things. Then, one day, when I was a little bored, I decided to actually give some thought to these problems that had been going rumbling about in the furthest recesses of my brain for years. Is there a better way?

It soon dawned on me that when you get your hair cut, they often wash it before and dry it afterwards. And they often dry it remarkably quickly. I had always assumed that this was because the hair had already had a chance to air-dry a bit while being cut, but this kind of thing called for a bit more research. How much power do hair dryers actually put out? What kinds of hairdryers do professional hairdressers use? How much power do those put out?

As a matter of fact, the research turned out to be very simple. There was no need to experiment. All the information was readily available online. As it turns out, the main variables to consider in a hair dryer is how hard it blows, and how hot. More air per minute means faster drying, and so does a higher temperature. The power usage in Watts of a given hair dryer is a decent indicator of how effective a hair dryer will be, but it is not perfect. It turns out to be easier (read: cheaper) to increase the power of a hairdryer by increasing temperature rather than volume, but that is not actually what you want. There is a practical limit to how hot you can make the air coming out of a dryer. If it is too hot, it hurts the scalp. (I don't mean that it causes some cosmetic damage to watch out for. I mean it _hurts_.) Also, the consensus seems to be that too high a temperature with not enough volume of air causes the hair to dry in a way that makes it frizzy. (The details don't really matter to me, but it's explained in several places on the web.) So a good hair dryer has a lot of power, but also, it allocates a good amount of that power to blowing harder and not just heating up the air to a higher temperature.

Then there is the ionic business. The amount of pseudoscience being bandied about on that topic is too large to dig through; I suspect that all that's going on is that by putting a slight electrostatic charge of the same sign on every hair, the hairs repel each other a little, leading to a smoother, more even look. But maybe there's more to it. Google around and you will found pages of theories about the endless benefits of ions.

Anyway, armed with this background knowledge, the obvious next step is to ask where professionals buy their blow dryers. I soon found out that most brands market themselves pretty much exclusively to professionals or exclusively to retail customers. The professional brands are often European or American, rather than East Asian, in origin, and prices are of course higher. From what I could find, Parlux appeared to be clearly one of the most desirable brands. Everybody writes the same thing about these things: they are solidly built, and they put out a very high volume of very hot air to quickly and smoothly dry hair. Moreover, unlike other pro-oriented brands, Parlux actually has a compact model, which is the one you are looking at now.

Based on all that, I decided to go for it. Sure, it's a lot of money, but if I was going to buy a _good_ hair dryer, I was going to buy a _really_ good one, not one that was better than the old one but not quite adequate and that would end up having to be replaced yet _again_ later. This hair dryer is clearly the Cadillac among hair dryers. Or, maybe, given it's size, we should say it's the BMW 3-series: very high quality, but compact.

All right, so enough with the suspense. What is it actually like to use?

The first thing that struck me about the Parlux is how solidly built it is. The design is elegant and as pretty to behold as a handheld electric motor and heating element are going to get, but once you hold it, it exudes quality. The dryer as a whole is surprisingly heavy, though not so heavy as to be hard to handle for a person of normal strength. The selection switches for setting the temperature and fan speed are clearly of a very high quality, designed to be flipped many times daily for many years in a busy salon setting. The air filter on the back, which comes off for cleaning, has a very tight and precise screw fit.

Actually using the dryer, you notice that the maximum temperature is precisely the highest temperature that you can comfortably use, and it is reached virtually immediately when you turn the heat on. The volume of air put out by the fan is enormous. In terms of drying speed, this is not an incremental improvement over the $40 consumer-grade device I used to have. This is a whole different experience. My (admittedly not very long, and thoroughly towel-dried) hair was dry within a minute or two, and came out very soft and smooth virtually immediately.

It is up to you whether you want to spend this sort of money to get a really good blow dryer. When making your decision whether to buy it, I think you can reasonably assume that this is about as good as a blow dryer is going to get. The question is not whether this product is good enough; it is whether that is worth the money, which only you can decide.

No good, very messy. Better off just letting the kids do their nails on newpaper and sprinkling gitter on them.

I got each of my daughters one of these for Christmas. They were so excited. They wanted to wear their pretty nails for dinner. What a mess. The girls were disappointed. The nails lasted about 30 seconds (and they were careful). I'm cleaning out my daughters' rooms and these are going in the garbage. Neither one of them used it (or asked to use it) again. Don't do it.

Oh my gosh this is a mess. There is no way a young child (7)can do it herself and even with help it is not that easy. The nails it comes with fall off very easily. The glitter ends up everywhere. I wouldn't let my child have this again if they were giving them away. She used it once and we have put it away out of sight. Hopefully she will forget about it. I know I won't because I will be cleaning up glitter for the next year......

Honest reviews on Conair NC10 Nail Glitter and Gem Kit, Pink

This is the worst item I have ever purchased. Seriously! It was number one on my daughter's christmas list. I was not expecting much, but figured, I would get it for her anyway, since she wanted it so bad. It did not work after using on 2 nails and I ended up shaking the thing to get the glitter on the nails. Not to mention that within 5 minutes (again Seriously) all the nails had fallen off. Even my daughter who is 6 and wanted this item did not like it.

It went staight in the garbage I wasted my money.

Its total garbage and I am so dissapointed. I thought with the name Conair behind it, it would at least be so-so...but it just horrible. The glitter doesnt stick to your own nails, or the fake ones they provide. The adhesive for the fake nails is difficult to work with and doesnt even stay on for the lightest of wear! The gems they provide, dont come with any sort of adhesive so you can actually adhere them to a nail! My daughter is 5, and I was heartbroken to see her so disappointed when all it did was create problems. I finally painted her nails with polish, and sprinkled glitter on them by hand and used the wet nail polish as an adhesive for the gems. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Just go buy some glitter and shake it on her wet nails instead. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Many hair dryers claim to blow cool air, but this is the only one I have found that actually DOES have cool air coming out of the Cold setting. The air comes out in a powerful stream and dries my hair quickly. I would give it five stars if it hadn't broken when I dropped it. Seems like it should be more durable for the price.
