Before jumping into my review I figured I'd give you some background on NEUTROGENA® NORWEGIAN FORMULA® Hand Cream:

Neutrogena was kind enough to send me a 2 o.z. bottle of their Norwegian Formula hand cream, midi rings, pretty finger-less/mitten gloves (FROM J. CREW!!!) and a $25 American Express gift card. Included inside was direction to take the gift card and treat yourself to a manicure, then to smooth the lotion on your hands and cuticles for seven days and take pictures to show how much longer your manicure last.

Too Fancy Lacquer :: Set Fire to the Rain

Day 01 :: Fresh manicured nails.

Day One: Showing out my freshly manicure and gorgeous nails thanks to Too Fancy Lacquer's Set Fire to the Rain holographic nail polish! My first impression with the lotion was it was thick and I don't want to say creamy cause it was much thicker than you'd think but wasn't sticky AT ALL! It applies smooth and felt amazing on my skin.

Day 03 :: Minimal chips; happy hands

Day Three: I'm seriously starting to love this lotion! I had a couple little cuts and scabs on my fingers that are starting to heal nicely and despite the typical Chicago winter my hands are still moisturized.

Day 05 :: Crazy chips but look at those cuticles!

Day Five: I'm blaming dishes and deep cleaning the house on the severity of chipping with my polish. The freezing temps we've been experiencing here (-41 degrees with wind chill) I've stayed in doors trying to hide from the cold. I've now moved up to applying the lotion twice a day just cause I love the way it feels on my skin and to help combat winter skin from the frigid temps.

Day 06 :: I can't take the chips anymore! 

Day Six: I can no long handle the chips on my nails and tomorrow we are due for a Mani Monday post. I am so completely happy with this lotion and know I will definitely be purchasing a bottle when I run out of it. This lotion is superb for winter and will also make a great steeply in my summer bag to! It's really perfect for all seasons!
