A Pretty Polish: 17 Lasting Fix in Orange Soda
Hello! Orange and coral shades seem to be everywhere lately, so I thought I’d start small with the trend by giving my fingernails a lick of orange paint. I blogged about Lasting Fix polish in Pink Grapefruit recently, but just to recap, the Lasting Fix formula is slightly watery (you need at least two coats for a decent result) and impressively long lasting. Once again I have enlisted my lovely-handed friend India to model the polish. This is one of those ‘tanning’ polishes that instantly warms up your skin tone thanks to its fluorescent tones. I’m thinking I might wear this on my toenails when (if) the weather calls for open toe shoes…

Samy Fat Hair – My Big Fat Hair: Part 2
Last week I got all bloggy about my quest for big hair ( you can read it here if you’re so inclined), so I thought you might want to see what my hair looks like after the Samy Fat Hair + topknot + bed combo I mentioned in the post. These pics are on the wrong side of dodgy but I hope you get the idea – tousled, volumised, messy morning hair with loads of lift at the roots. My hair is naturally almost poker straight so I’m pretty impressed with how well the Samy products work. My hair maintains the purposefully dishevelled, fat hair look for almost a whole day before it deflates…

Look: Intergalactic Leggings
In case you haven’t noticed, I’m rather partial to wearing slightly wacky things on my legs. These are the latest addition to my ever growing patterned legwear collection: Presenting the Perlin Galaxy Print Leggings from Missguided.co.uk When I ordered these they were out of stock on S/M so I went for M/L with my fingers crossed. Let’s just say I’m kind of glad there were no S/M available, because I think they would have looked offensive on me, if I was able to yank them up over my thighs at all. These leggings sit fairly low on the hips, so unless you’re lacking in the bottom department, I would definitely recommend wearing…

A Pretty Polish: 17 Lasting Fix in Pink Grapefruit
These little pots of polish by 17 have become my go-to brand when I want a new nail colour. I usually stick to darker colours or bright reds, but I thought Pink Grapefruit would be perfect for prettying up my nails for Spring. My nails aren’t worthy of photographing at the moment, so I borrowed my friend India’s lovely hands to model the polish for this post 🙂 In the pictures, India only has one coat on her nails, and as you can see it leaves quite a sheer finish. For a more opaque result, two or three coats are definitely needed. The polish applies really smoothly, is glossy and fairly chip resistant. As…

Samy Fat Hair – My Big Fat Hair
Hello! Like a lot of women, I seem to be on some sort of eternal quest to achieve thick, bouncy and big hair. I’ve tried a whole load of products over the years to try and tame my mane into the Cheryl Cole/ Kim Kardashian hybrid hair I’ve imagined and I wanted to share my latest find. I’ve got to admit I’m more loyal to Boots than Superdrug for some reason, but I was killing some time in the hair section of Superdrug a few weeks ago when I came across the Samy range. Initially it was the Jooouge Fun Fiber String Mousse that caught my eye, but I got a little shy…
