June 2008

Back in early spring, whilst walking with our dogs I spotted the feathery shoots of Horsetail ( Equisetum arvense) in the local lanes. I got quite excited, much to the concern of others around me, and couldn't wait for it to grow. Each week I took a peek to see how well it was doing.

Sure enough, grow it did and to my delight abundantly... it can be quite a thug! Horsetail is rich in silica and also contains calcium, both are good for nails and so I was able to make something natural to pamper my nails with! The colour of finished product has a wonderful pearly shine and if used regularly will impart the same healthy shine to the nails.
