When my colleague Lydia O’Connor, a senior reporter here at HuffPost, recently shared that she was taking a break from gel manicures in favor of using a “nail concealer,” I was immediately intrigued. I’d been looking for ways to keep my beauty expenses down, but given that I’m horrible at applying nail polish and my feet are in flip-flops year-round, I’d never imagined I might be able to cut back on regular pedicures. But her recommendation — Londontown’s Kur illuminating nail concealer — was an absolute game-changer. The concealer is similar to polish, but instead of color, it deposits a sheer milky veil that makes nails look like a super-healthy version of their natural selves, covering up imperfections and leaving them glowing and perfect-looking. And after weeks of waiting, the colors Bare, Bubble and Pink are finally 25% off— but likely not for long since they only go on sale periodically for very short stints of time.The buildable nail formula means you can apply as much or as little coverage as you need.With this, a Microplane foot file and gel socks, I’ve been skipping the nail salon and saving tons of money without having to hide my feet in close-toed shoes. Even my fingernails — so hopeless I don’t even bother getting manis — look great with it.“I am obsessed with this product,” O’Connor told me. “One coat gives you that ‘is she wearing nail polish, or does she just have flawless doll nails?’ look. Two coats gives you a milky, slightly iridescent finish that I love.“It’s basically fool-proof to apply. The formula isn’t streaky at all, and the brush is quite wide, allowing you to cover your whole nail in one seamless swipe. This is the only polish that’s ever looked decent when painting with my non-dominant hand.”We’re not the only ones obsessed: Amazon reviewers note that it goes beyond simply using a sheer regular polish. “I was definitely skeptical that this polish could be any different from one of the countless neutral Essie shades out there that I’ve tried since the ’90s – ballet slippers, like linen etc – but I decided to give the milky shade a try & I’m so glad I did!!!” wrote one Amazon reviewer.“My nails look incredible. I’m not even sure how to describe why but they look very natural and clean. It’s been a week of wearing two coats and there isn’t one bubble or lift forming on the edges. One coat actually looks great also. I am sold on this stuff… So so happy.”Turns out she’s not the only one in the office that’s thrilled with this product. HuffPost’s head of Life and Commerce Kristen Aiken has been using it as well, along with Greta Geiselman, our director of office services. “I love this stuff!” Aiken said. “I have really weird nails (the whites are jagged because I use my hands too much and have ‘nailbed trauma’) and I’m too rugged to paint my nails because it instantly comes off, but I love the nail concealer because it looks natural but just, better. And it doesn’t show when it starts to chip off.”Noting “it’s so easy to give yourself a manicure with this stuff,” O’Connor said it’s been giving both her nails and her wallet a break. “I recently broke the cardinal rule of nails and peeled off my gel manicure as it started to chip, and this has kept my now-brittle nails looking neat and tidy as they grow out,” she said.Each formula contains optical brighteners to give nails a subtle gleam and hide imperfections and discoloration, along with plant extracts and a nourishing complex. Grab it today in Bare, Bubble or Pink for $15, and check out some promising reviews below. “I have been trying to find a white polish that looks good on my nails. I have tried so many I lost count. Some are too white. Some too pink. Too beige. Too streaky. Too difficult to apply. Some took way too long to dry… and nothing really looked that good. And then I stumbled on this Illuminating concealer polish and it was love at first sight. It just looks so shiny and pretty and it goes so well with my skin tone. I just cannot believe how much I love this on my nails. I used two thin coats. Then I added a very thin coat of an ILNP sparkly topper to give it some character. It looks so pretty. My fingertips look clean and fresh and ready for some summer fun. I attached three photos (dark background). In one picture you can see that I dented a small spot in my index finger, but I was able to smooth it out and you can’t see it in the other pictures. I dipped my finger in some ice water after smoothing it out to help set it and you cannot tell it was ever dented. This concealer polish is a dream come true. I have a feeling I’m going to be using it for most of the summer. It’s so light and fresh and it goes on fast and easy. I cannot say enough good things about it. I actually just came back and bought a second bottle in case it disappears like so many other great products seem to do.” — RoseAnn Gibbons (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review here.)“I purchased this to make my nails look presentable as they grow out – months of wearing gel polish trashes them (or perhaps the salon I go to does!). I now have many imperfections and torn ends, unfortunately. I am quite pleased with how this fills them in and makes my nails look healthy and natural! Two coats on nails (cleaned with antibacterial gel beforehand) did the trick, and I also used a quick-dry top coat for shine. Took only 30 minutes! Dries quickly!So, I would buy this again…especially if I can get a week’s worth of wear out of it. It did what it said it would do!” — KP“This is a wonderful nail polish! It does not chip for several days! This picture was after 5 days and at least 2 rounds of doing dishes and they still look freshly painted. Only needs about two coats to have nice coverage, and doesn’t need a top coat. I’ve been using this polish for a few years and my nails continue to grow long and strong. It does take a pretty strong remover to take off, I normally use an acetone.” — allison yaney A tabletop tape dispenserIf you’ve ever awkwardly leaned an elbow on the edge of a piece of wrapping paper to keep it in place while clumsily tearing a piece of tape before the edge slides down the side of the gift and you’re back at square one, then this tabletop tape dispenser might be a your new best friend.Simply clip it to the edge of your work surface and the dispenser will provide enough resistance to pull and tear your desired length of tape with just one hand.

An automatic tape gun you only need one hand to useNothing can ruin an evening of wrapping presents more than when you have a piece of tape between your fingers, ready for placement, and then it folds over on itself and you’re forced to wrestle it off and start again.This one-handed tape gun works by automatically dispensing a 1-inch piece of tape at a simple push of the lever, which you can do while the roller is applied to the surface of your paper. Once you release the lever, the piece of tape is cut without ever having to fuss with the sticky side. A safety paper cutterIf you aren’t a fan of the unpredictable tendencies of traditional scissors, this handy device can help. Using a zipper-type design, this cutter can seamlessly glide along your wrapping paper without bunching or ripping the edge.
