Purple Hair!

So I dyed my hair with a friend on Sunday - we went to town in search for some blonde dye and then came back to my place to do the actual dying process. I had already brought my purple dye online from beeunique.co.uk - I reccomend it for anyoen interested in dying or bleaching your hair crazy colours, located in the uk! (They can't ship bleach outside of the Uk, for certain reasons.)

So Abi wanted blonde and brown ombre hair, which I was going to do for her, since I had more experience in dying hair than she did. Unfortunately the dye didn't lighten her hair very much, so we're going to dye on top of it again sometime soon to make it more noticeable. 

I then started on my own hair, putting the same blonde dye in my fringe, then dying the rest purple. I was stupid and didn't use gloves. xD

I'll post pictures soon! (: <3

NOTW: Birthday Sparkles!

So it was my birthday on Tuesday, which is why my post is up today, instead of Sunday. :')

I went out for a meal with friends to celebrate, so I decided to paint my nails a gold sparkling gradient with a few rhinestones on my ring finger - I really love it and so did all my friends! Unfortunately soon after they turned purple due to the fresh dye in my hair. :(

I just have an instagram pic of them, sorry! I lost my other photos. :(

NOTW: Vintage Roses.

This week's nails are vintage wallpaper themed, with one hand full of roses and the other hand with roses and stripes. I was inspired by some videos on YouTube that I saw and decided to make my own version, using the same sort of style as one of my favourite nail gurus: cutepolish! :D

Here are some pictures of my nails and the products I used to achieve the look! (:

 
I used Rimmel Lasting Finish Misty Jade, Rimmel Lasting Finish Fruities Apricot Punch, Claire's Red and off-brand French White.

Forgot to add this one into the picture, hehe. I also used Rimmel Lasting Finish Green Grass for the leaves!

NOTW: Barry M Purple Crackle!

So I've decided to start making Nail of the Week posts, as I love to change my nail colour every Sunday religiously, and I don't post often enough on here! I thought why not use my love for nail polishes to fix my posting problem. :D

This week I'm wearing a super girly combination of 17's Lasting Fix in Parma Violet with Barry M's Instant Nail Effects in purple. I really like the Barry M crackle effect and I feel it goes on well, however the bottle tends to dry out pretty quickly so you have to keep putting the lid on between each nail. I think it's much better quality than my other crackle polish by Rimmel, which doesn't really give such a nice effect on the nail, but it doesn't dry out so easy.

The 17 nail polish I have came in this cute little box as a gift for Christmas this year! I have another pink one somewhere, too! Isn't it pretty-looking? :3
