I normally prefer wearing darker colours on my nails like purple or black but I wanted a natural nude/pink colour that i could wear during the week to work which looked clean and natural. I have never tried an Essie nail polish before so I was excited to try out something new.
APPLICATION
The overall application was good. The consistency of the polish wasn't too think or too thin so it went on very easily. As it was a light colour I did have to apply 3 coats, I could have got away with 2 if I was in a rush but 3 made the true colour show. Surprisingly the polish dried pretty quickly which is always a bonus so it made the whole application quicker which is good if you are in a rush. I applied a top coat and let my nails to fully dry for a good half an hour.
TWO DAYS AFTER APPLICATION
After 2 days of doing normal day things ie,showering, I felt the nail polish still looked amazing and vibrant. I would defiantly buy Essie nail polishes again.

I have been highlighting/dying and using heat appliances on my hair for about 6 years and over time it has become very dry and lifeless. I also hate going to the hairdressers which also doesn't help my hair as it desperately needs a trim! So the past year I have been on the look out for products and ways of looking after my hair to make it as healthy as I can without getting it chopped. Every time I see something new in the shops I can't wait to try it and see if it is better that the others that I have tried. So yesterday I was in Boots and I saw they had a small range of the Organix Beauty hair products. I hadn't heard of this brand before and didn't know which one to go for as they were three different types; Macadamia Oil, Moroccan Argan Oil and Coconut Milk. All three had a shampoo, conditioner and some sort of hair treatment. I love my Lee Stafford argan oil serum so I decided the safest option was the Moroccan Argan Oil. I purchased the shampoo and conditioner and also the penetrating oil.
First Impression
The first thing I noticed was the smell when applying. The shampoo especially smelt amazing and very fresh which lasted even after I blow dried my hair, which is a big thumbs up for me. The conditioner had to be left on for 3-5 minutes then washed out. I wouldn't say my hair felt extremely soft while wet but after applying the penetrating oil then blow dried it, my hair felt so soft and shiny and it brought a healthy colour to my hair. It also stayed soft after styling as well.
Next Day
I was very surprised the next day when my hair still felt very very soft and smooth. Considering my hair is very dry it started to get slightly greasy faster than it normally would but I don't know if this was because my hair is not used to such concentrated products. After styling it I had to apply some dry shampoo as my roots where slightly greasy but I did notice that my hair was still shiny and looked healthier than it normally does the next day.
Overall
I think these are great products to bring your hair back to life and to restore your hairs shine. I think i will use these 3 times a week then less when my hair starts getting more healthy so that my hair doesn't get to oily and also to keep a constant supply of moisture to the ends of my hair. I wouldn't recommend using these products everyday if you have very oily hair, maybe once a week just to keep the softness. Great buy,great products!!!
