Revlon Chalk Board Nail Art

I was nosing around Boots the other day and came across this lil beauty. I've never seen this before and was very intrigued.

First Step: Apply black matte base coat.

I applied two coats just to be safe.














Next Step: Paint on your own design

The brush for painting on design is a typical thin nail art brush but is pretty good.
Overall I really like the effect and might try it in different colours.

Avon Calling! Advance Techniques Moroccan Aragan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner Review

So I decided to purchase the Advance Techniques Moroccan Aragan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner from Avon. I was advised under the reccommendation of a hairdresser due to the nature of my hair. My hair is thick frizzy and curly and very prone to dryness.
I've used the products a few times now and I am pretty impressed the smell is lovely, it leaves my hair soft and shiny and helps keep the curls in more tact than frizz. You only need a small amount and it is very easy to work into the hair.
However I believe the product is best on thicker hair as I'd say it would just be too heavy for thin hair.
