B. Complete Long-Lasting Nail Polish in 145 Bubble Gum

 

I'm finally back on track with my blog! This week I had another set-back after getting a nasty infection and narrowly avoiding a stay in hospital. On Thursday it was my birthday, but sadly it was memorable for the wrong reasons this year, and I spent most of it dosed up on medication in bed!

 

Amongst my presents was this lovely B. Complete nail polish, so today I decided to try it out today. Bubble Gum is an apt name, it's such a vibrant pink and has a gorgeous shimmery blue undertone to it.

 

The brush is a little wide for my liking, however the polish applied so smoothly and evenly, with no need for a second coat.

 

 

It took quite a while for that 'tacky' feeling to go, so it's not one if you're applying in a rush as it seems to take its time to fully dry. There's nothing worse than smudged nails! However I'm really pleased with the colour. What do you think?

 

 

 

This is my first B. Complete nail varnish and I'm sure it won't be my last. It has a high-shine finish too for that extra bit of glamour! You can get this shade for £3.32 at Superdrug.

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Shine Spray

 

As someone who straightens their hair almost every day, an essential hair product for me is a heat protector. I've tried many in the past, but found that most make my fine hair feel heavy and weighed down, not to mention making it look greasy. My hair can also look quite lacklustre, so anything that adds shine minus the residue is a bonus for me. This Awapuhi Wild Ginger Shine Spray from Paul Mitchell does all of this!

 

Incredibly lightweight, the super fine mist not only illuminates your locks, but also conditions and protects your hair at the same time. I blow dry my hair, then spritz this generously all over before I begin straightening. Even when sprayed near the roots, there's not a trace of product build-up.

 

The awapuhi extract is rich in lipids, so it hydrates and nourishes your hair, as well as making it softer or more manageable. My hair breaks easily, and since using this it has felt stronger and healthier, not to mention that gorgeous glossy sheen that this product creates. It smells absolutely gorgeous too, and has a lovely ginger scent that's not overpowering.

 

A 125ml can lasts ages too, so it definitely justifies being quite pricey. I'd recommend this product if you have fine, flat hair that can look dull, or if your tresses have become damaged/dry. You can buy  Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Shine Spray for £15.16 here.
