Can I do it longer than 7 days?

Think of it like a good hair care routine. A good hair care routine involves daily work to replenish your hair from the daily stress of washing, blow drying, styling, etc. to keep your hair beautiful and hydrated. We want to support you in integrating nail care into your daily routine. You'll get the best results when you make Bliss Kiss™ a daily ritual. So yes! You can absolutely do the Challenge longer than 7 days. In fact, we hope that you do. :)

Do I have to wear nail polish?

Nope. We do recommend it when possible. Polish helps to trap in the oil you saturated your nails with during hydration treatments. Polish also helps protect your nails from water and other damage by providing extra layers of temporary strength.

We also understand there are a lot of reasons you may not want to wear polish, or you may not be able to wear polish. And that’s okay! If you’re not able to wear polish, it will be important to do as much as possible to protect your nails from water (water strips away the oils from your nails that your nails need to stay flexible.) Wearing gloves is a great way to protect your nails from water.

Do I have to have naked nails for 3 days?

Nope. When we first started doing Challenges in 2012, we did recommend a 3-Day Get Naked Challenge. As we’ve continued to learn and improve, we developed the Intensive Hydration Treatments that are a shortcut to saturating your nails with the golden goodness to keep your nails flexible.

Part of the Bliss Kiss™ Ultimate Nail Care routine involves keeping your nails polished as soon as you finish a Hydration Treatment to seal in all the hydration golden goodness and to protect your nails. (P.S. Nails don’t need to breathe and nails don’t need a break from polish). We recommend that you keep your lovely nails polished!

What’s different about this Challenge compared to past Challenges?

We constantly strive to improve your experience! This Challenge is more condensed, and hopefully easier for you to integrate into your life. We’ve taken the best of every Challenge we’ve done since 2012 and made it better.

The core of this Challenge revolves around the Bliss Kiss™ Ultimate Nail Care Routine which is made up of 6 basic steps:

Step 1: START HERE: MEGA HYDRATION TREATMENT - Start by treating your naked nails to a Mega Hydration Treatment. Slather your nails and skin with Simply Pure™ and Simply Sealed™, then slide them into nitrile gloves. WEAR AT LEAST 4 HOURS.

If your hands get sweaty, remove the gloves, wipe your hands off with a towel, reapply oil and lotion stick and put gloves back on for more hydration.

Step 2: GET POLISH BACK ON YOUR NAILS! This will help to seal in the oil your nails just absorbed to keep them hydrated and flexible. (Remember, strong nails need to be FLEXIBLE to bend, not break.)

Step 3: OIL DAILY! Remember to apply Simply Pure™ 4-10x daily (or more as needed), and especially after you wash your hands. This is an important part of your nail care routine. It will help keep your skin and nails hydrated as your daily activities that strip away the oils from your skin.

If you’re wearing polish, the oil will help keep your layers of polish flexible (decreasing the cracking, chipping, and peeling of your polish). Oiling your cuticle lines also keeps the skin soft and prevents hangnails.

Step 4: REMOVE POLISH - As soon as your polish starts chipping (or as soon as you get bored of your manicure), remove your polish and get ready to hydrate your nails to prevent them from getting dry and brittle.

Step 5: MINI HYDRATION TREATMENT - Remember MINI BEFORE MANI! After you’ve removed your polish, slather your hands and nails with Simply Pure™ and Simply Sealed™ and put on nitrile gloves for 20 minutes - 2 hours (depending on how much time you have available) to give your nails and skin a good soak to keep them healthy and hydrated.

STEP 6: REPEAT STEPS 2-5 - After treating your nails and skin to a Mini Hydration Treatment, Repeat the process again.

Fab 5 Manicure.
Oil 4-10x Daily.
Remove polish when your manicure starts to chip.
Mini Before Mani.
Repeat.
We recommend you do a Mega Hydration Treatment at least once a month, more depending on how dry your hands and nails get.

Can I apply oil when my nails are polished?

Yep! If you’re wearing polish, the oil will help keep your layers of polish flexible (decreasing the cracking, chipping, and peeling of your polish)

What if I can’t wear polish because of my job?

We understand there are a lot of reasons you may not want to wear polish, or you may not be able to wear polish. And that’s okay! If you’re not able to wear polish, it will be important to do as much as possible to protect your nails from water (water strips away the oils from your nails that your nails need to stay flexible.) Wearing gloves is a great way to protect your nails from water. You may have to hydrate your nails and skin more if you’re not able to wear polish.

My nails turned transparent after a hydration treatment. Is that normal?

Yes! This means your nails have been saturated by Simply Pure™. Not everyone's nails will achieve full transparency, and that's okay. It depends on YOUR individual nails and your lifestyle.

What’s the minimum amount of time I can do a hydration treatment?

Give yourself at least 20 minutes if possible. Of course, if you have to end your treatment sooner, something is better than nothing. For most people, 20 minutes to an hour seems to give skin and nails enough time to absorb the Simply Pure™ and Lotion Stick/Body Balm.

What if I can’t wear nitrile gloves?

You’re not alone! Bodies and skin can be finicky for a number of reasons. If gloves don’t work for you, here are a few things you can try.

Cotton liners UNDER nitrile gloves. (Note, the cotton fibers will absorb the oil and lotion stick. Several Blissettes have found it helpful to apply olive oil, coconut oil, or other inexpensive kitchen oil - not mineral oil or other petroleum based products! - to the liners before applying Simply Pure™ and Lotion Stick to their hands. Then putting the liners with oil on top of the Simply Pure™ and then putting the nitrile gloves over the liners to trap your body heat in to give your nails and skin a chance to absorb the oil.)
You can always do the original 3-day get naked hydration challenge if gloves don’t work for you. Spend 3 days with naked nails and applying Simply Pure™ and Lotion Stick frequently throughout the day, avoid coming in contact with water, and after the three days, paint your nails using the Fab-5 Manicure wrap.

Do I have to sleep in the gloves?

Nope! If wearing gloves to bed drives you batty, you’re not alone. There are a lot of other Blissettes that prefer to hydrate during the daytime instead of sleeping in them. Do what works best for you!

Can I use products other than Bliss Kiss™ products?

You can use whatever products you have to participate in the Challenge. We understand Bliss Kiss™ products are an investment that may not always fit in the budget. We do give a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee on all of our products. So when you do invest, you can do it without worry. We promise to provide results that delight, or we’ll make it right! (We get how frustrating it is to spend your hard earned money on products that just don’t work, and then you’re stuck with a drawer full of disappointment.)

While we can’t guarantee your results if you need to substitute Bliss Kiss alternatives, but we understand how sometimes in life you’ve got to make the best of what you’ve got. So until you’re ready to treat your nails to Bliss, keep these key things in mind as you test out different options:

Read Labels

Mineral oil or other petroleum based products. (The molecular size is too big for your body to absorb. It will just sit on the surface of your skin or nails.)
Products that contain water. Water is the enemy to your nails. Water dissolves your body and nails’ natural oils and will increase your risk of peeling nails it is absorbed between the layers of your nails and pushes the cells apart. (Think the pages of a book that get wet. Even after the pages dry, the pages will never lie right again. It’s similar with the layers of your nails.)
Products that contain alcohol. Alcohol is a solvent and will dissolve oil and actually strip away the hydration you’re working on giving your skin and nails.

Yes. TO BE ENTERED INTO THE CONTEST, we do require that you use Bliss Kiss™ Products.
