HOTD!

Hey guys another hair of the day! So I achieved the hair style at the end by Dutch braiding my hair last night when it was damp out of the shower. Then I took it out and hair sprayed it this morning. And then I just twisted my fringe at either side of my head to get the end result.
Simple! Have fun and keep rocking your hair!

Hey guys I have painted my nails again with a funkier look so I thought I would share.

First a base coat I used Natural Collection- Crystal clear.

 

Then colour!

This is Rimmel London Lycra Pro professional finish in the colour 420 aqua cool. It is pretty opaque but I used 2 coats for full coverage.(review coming soon)

                                            

Then I layered Rimmel London I heart lasting finish- 500 Disco ball on top (review has been done on this polish). I only used 1 coat but dipped a few times to get a lot of glitter.

Then to top it off I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri anti-chip top coat.

And here is the finished look!

Hope you guys enjoyed and have fun nail painting!

Book Nook: The Wave

Hey every one! I ADORE books so why not do book reviews? So here is the first one on "The Wave"  Morton Rhue. 

I received this book from teacher as we are studying Lord Of The Flies in English and some people were finding it hard to understand the concept of why some people would follow others without question so she handed us this book to help have a better knowledge of the text. The book is based on a true story of a school in California and "shows how easily people can be swayed by the powerful forces of group pressure."

blurb: "The wave is sweeping through the entire school. What started as an experiment in Ben Ross's History class is taking a mind of it's own. Students who thought they were free individuals have become dominated by The Wave, and its salutes and slogans- Strength Through Discipline, Strength Through Community, Strength Through Action- are everywhere. Only Laurie and a few of her friends recognise the danger in The Wave- but can they stop it before it goes too far?"

So the story starts in Ben Ross's history class when he shows them a video on the Holocaust. He then decides to run an experiment to show his class how the Nazi soldiers blindly followed Hitler. However the pupils take the experiment in their stride and they not only follow it like they have been craving discipline but they are not the only people taking this far. Ben Ross also takes it further and become overwhelmed by the power. The book shows the class slowly being consumed by this urge to blindly follow their leader which they name Mr Ross at one stage. The become so consumed that physical violence becomes part of the equation. Laurie (the main character) soon sees what is happening to people with the help of her concerned mother. However if you wish to know the ending and if Laurie did anything to stop it then I shall leave you to read it. :)

I personally liked the book as it gives the reader (me at least) the epiphany that people are willing to blindly follow people was rather nerve racking. some people would take this to other levels but the book shows that even in a school the topic of following orders can go WAY past extremes and the is rather scary. I would recommend this book, It is not one that I would normally reach for if I was choosing from a shelf of books however I did get something out of the book and I think that is the main part of reading is that if YOU get something out of a book than it was well worth the read.

so that's it guys and keep reading!

Hey guys another nail of the day and this time it is H&Ms Chica boom boom. I love this girl is it very fun, bright and vibrant orange with a very slight hint of coral red the pictures do not do it much justice however I am trying to sort out my lighting to make it better :D I highly recommend these H&M polishes the formulation is really smooth and the colour opacity is great. Only 1 downside NEVER forget a base coat with these as they stain your nails slightly which is why the polish looks darker. So that's it and keep nail painting guys.

HOTD! Hair Of The Day!

Hey guys I thought about a hair of the day so here it is.

To make this design simply put your hair in 1 French braid down the back of your head when your hair is wet an leave it in. I left it in for 2 days and 2 nights but It works the same as a day and then take it out and Voila! Enjoy guys.

Okay so I thought I would do a review on Rimmel London Lasting Finish nail varnish and I only have 1 colour so the review may not be very varied. I only bought 1 colour to test it because if I did not like it what was the point. The formulation is not very thick, it is too watery for my liking as it runs down the nail and a collection of polish gathers at the bottom of the nail around the cuticle.  

This is the colour i have 055 sunshine. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the colour it is very bright and great for spring/summer but it takes anywhere between 3-4 coats to get good true to form colour. It takes a long time to dry even with a fast drying top coat. I let the nail polish dry for 3 minutes before I put on a fast drying top coat and let that dry for an extra 2 minutes but even with that the polish didn't dry very well. In total I let the nail polish dry for 10 minutes before i started to do little things and when I typed on my computer they nail varnish smudged. This particular colour is awful at drying but because I disliked it so much I am weary to try another one. However i do have another varnish from this range but I did not call it a colour because it isn't really. 

This is a clear nail varnish with small flecks of glitter in it. It has blue, purple, pink, turquoise and a few other colours and personally I LOVE this one. 500 Disco Ball is MUCH better than the sunshine it lasts a lot longer as it dries within 5 minutes with the fast drying top coat and it is completely dry. I ran an experiment to see how long it would last and I managed to get 6 days out of it which was great. The only downside (and it is a tiny one) is that as it is a clear coat with glitter it takes 2-4 coats to get the nail completely covered with glitter however i put it over black, green and other colours as a top coat and it looks GREAT. 


So overall slightly mixed view I did buy sunshine about 3 months ago and the formulation is horrible however I bought disco ball 1 week ago and I LOVE the formulation so it might have changed but I don't know. I would give 055 sunshine a 3.5/10 but I give Disco ball 8/10 so VERY different views but take from it what you will and enjoy nail painting!
