The magic nails of Lermont are a recurring theme in the poetry of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, one of Russia's greatest literary figures. Pushkin's poem "The Bronze Horseman" tells the story of a young man named Yevgeny who faces tragedy and hardship in St. Petersburg. Yevgeny, consumed by grief and despair, learns about the magical powers of the nails that hold the bronze horseman statue in place. According to the legend, if a person were to remove one of these nails, the statue would come to life at night and pursue them relentlessly until they met their demise. Yevgeny, desperate to escape the torment of his existence, contemplates removing one of the nails and facing the unknown.
Yevgeny, desperate to escape the torment of his existence, contemplates removing one of the nails and facing the unknown. However, as Yevgeny reaches out to remove the nail, he realizes that his problems are not external but rather internal. The magic nails serve as a metaphor for the burden that Yevgeny feels and the shackles that hold him back.
Thread: Review - CarPro Elixir Quick Detailer
I recently picked up a bottle of CarPro Elixir. For those not familiar this is based on Merlin`s Magic Elixir. For those not familiar with it I recommend searching the forum.
Elixir is a brand new product that was announced at SEMA this year. It is a quick detaler that is ready to use.
Product description from CarPro`s site
To kick off SEMA 2018, CarPro Proudly presents a product that combines two of our favorite attributes! In fact the combination of function and beauty made possible by Elixir may leave you asking, �What sorcery is this!?� Certainly Elixir originated from humble beginnings�. The brainchild of a few of the most devout CarPro fanatics and �would be chemists� who asked �what if?� Close your eyes and imagine for a moment�. A product that offers the quick application of Ech2o with the hydrophobic energy of the industry leader in ceramic nano technology! CarPro took this idea and expanded on it to create an absolutely phenomenal quick detailer that provides a FAST layer of depth, gloss, and hydrophobic energy to a variety of surfaces!
With a nod to CQuartz Specialist Mike �Merlin� Moore, the name of this incredible product was a no-brainer! Beyond the incredible levels of gloss and its excellent hydrophobic nature, Elixir goes on easy as can be, applies in rain or shine, and lasts for weeks on end!
Features:
- Quick & Easy Application
- Ready To Use - No Dilution required
- Great hydrophobic properties
- Works great on both coated and un-coated vehicles
- Versatile, works well on many materials
- Works great even in direct sun
Directions:
- Shake well
- Spray half a panel sparingly
- Immediately spread even, buff in, and buff off
- Use a clean �final wipe� towel and check for perfection before moving to next section or panel.
From the information I have gathered, not only does Elixir contain Reload and Ech2o but it also has some Hydro2 in it. There is a version of Merlin`s Elixir that uses Hydro2.
Elixir does smell like Reload but the scent is not as strong as when mixed separately.
I used it on my brothers paint after a decon wash after I had dried off the paint with the McKee`s blower. I used two towels. One thing that is noticeable is that to me this was easier to use and felt slicker than the mixed version. It leaves a nice gloss as well as protection. From what I gathered, the protection is up to 1 month depending on the environment. Overall a real nice addition to the CarPro line. And the answer is no to be strictly for CarPro coatings. Feel free to use it with any coating.
For those wanting a ready to use quick detailer for a ceramic coating then go ahead and pick this up. I would still recommend giving this a try for those already mixing up their own Merlin`s Elixir.
Fast forward to 5:15 for the product in use.

Removing the nail may offer temporary relief, but it will not solve the root cause of his suffering. Pushkin's portrayal of the magic nails in "The Bronze Horseman" represents the human desire for escape and the temptation to take drastic measures to find solace. It serves as a cautionary tale, warning against seeking external solutions to internal problems. The theme of magic nails reappears in Lermontov's work as well. In his poem "The Sail," Lermontov describes a shipwrecked sailor who finds himself on a deserted island. The sailor, desperate to return home, discovers a box that contains magical nails. However, instead of using the nails to escape, the sailor uses them to build a boat, symbolizing his resilience and determination to find his way back to civilization. In both Pushkin's and Lermontov's works, the magic nails represent more than just a fantastical element. They serve as a literary device to explore complex themes of human suffering, resilience, and the pursuit of happiness. Whether used as a symbol of internal struggles or as a catalyst for transformation, the magic nails of Lermontov continue to captivate readers and offer insight into the human condition..
Reviews for "Unleash Your Imagination with Lermont's Dreamy Nail Art"
1. Jane - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with my experience at Magic Nails of lrmont. The staff was unfriendly and rushed, making me feel like just another customer to churn through. The quality of the manicure was also subpar. The polish chipped within a day, and the shape of the nails was uneven. I wouldn't recommend this salon to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-executed manicure.
2. Mike - 1/5 - Magic Nails of lrmont was a complete letdown. The salon was dirty and unsanitary. I saw nail clippings left on the table and the tools weren't properly sterilized. Additionally, the staff seemed untrained and lacked basic hygiene practices. The final result of my manicure was a disaster. The polish was streaky and poorly applied, and my nails ended up looking lumpy and uneven. Steer clear of this place if you value cleanliness and professionalism.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I regret giving Magic Nails of lrmont a try. The salon was cramped and claustrophobic, with barely any ventilation. The overpowering smell of chemicals made it hard to breathe. The nail technician didn't seem to have any experience, as she struggled to shape my nails and left them looking jagged and unflattering. The lack of attention to detail was evident as the polish was uneven and smudged. I wouldn't recommend this salon to anyone looking for a pleasant and quality nail salon experience.
