NOTD: Nails Inc in Heather Grey (Diet Coke)

I only ever buy Nails Inc when they're on promotion with Diet Coke, which is also the only time I ever buy Diet Coke!

I wasn't that keen on any other colour but Heather Grey when I saw the promo. However it looks more pink in the promotional photos than it does in real life which is misleading. Application was a doddle and it stayed chip free for a good few days without a topcoat. That said, I think this purple colour is too murky for my liking, especially in this dreary weather. I'm going to switch to something bright and sparkly!

Favourite nail look at the moment

The minty base colour is a cheapo Asda one (from this post) and it is unbelievably streaky and downright horrible. It's turned into gloop even though I've only used it several times and is full of stringy fibres?? Don't know why! Anyway, with the help of the Barry M crackle polish it turned into something decent. My favourite nail look only because it's so easy :)

Revlon Grow Luscious mascara

The first Revlon mascara I have ever tried and to be honest I was wary as I have not read good things about them. However after seeing how well it worked for Sarah from Tacky Blue Eyeshadow, I had to try it out!

What do Revlon say about this mascara?

"Lash enhancing formula complements the natural growth cycle of your lashes, improving their overall appearance and conditioning with each use".

"Get lashes that look instantly longer and lusher and will also grow stronger day after day".

What do I think?

I like the green tube and the brush is HUGE! It took a while to get used to it but I no longer poke myself in the eye. So if you hate big brushes, stay clear.

I can't say I've noticed a considerable difference in the condition or length of my lashes but I do really like this mascara nevertheless.

It  makes my lashes look really long and isn't clumpy at all. I don't have the waterproof version but for me this doesn't flake, even after a long day. It's the perfect work mascara.

Not sure I would buy this again because there's so many other mascaras I want to try but if you were curious about it and like lengthening mascaras, I would reccommend you try it.

New year, red hair

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Just before the new year I decided to go red (inspired by Lina's hair from Make up to Make out). Well... just the ends of my hair as they were already bleached. It looks more like a reddy brown - a subtle change but noticeable to me.

Also wanted to announce the winner of my Dr Ogranics giveaway. Congratulations to Sami! Will be contacting you shortly :)

P.S. The sales were absolute pants this year and I hardly bought a thing.
