Jack Wills Nail Varnish | Orchid

This is most definitely a love hate product.
I absolutely adore the colour and shine when it has dried, but oh my it takes forever to dry.

I decided to use a base coat with this, for some reason i thought it might stain my nails. It took around 5 minutes to dry, with me sticking my hands in water for an extra 2 minutes. Even now, 30 minutes later i am still smudging it. Any tips on how to get this to not smudge?

So aside from the drying issues, i love it. The colour is great. A gorgeous shade of purple. Once it has dried (to some extent) it is very glossy and shiny. I have worn this before today and it does last a good few days before chipping off. The price, £6.50 is a bit steep considering my fave Boots 17 Varnishes range from £2.99 to £3.99 and i believe are much better, but what do you expect for a jack wills product?

You can purchase them here or at your local Jack Wills Store.

Overall, i dont hate them, i quite like them. I do have my eye on Sage and BlueBell though.

L'Oreal Elvive NEW Extraordinary Oil.

This is a product I was a bit sceptical about. Only because I have tried out a hair oil before promising the world when actually, it did nothing hit make my hair feel greasy.
I didn't actually purchase this product, my mum did. Every time I stayed over and had a shower I always put a bit in as I thought it gave a great shine and smelt really nice. As my mum didn't really use it, hair products really aren't her thing, she decided to give me it.

After a few weeks of applying this after the shower I am in love. It smells great, it is actually weightless. Once applied I cannot feel the product on my hair just super soft shiny hair. This product (or at least on the packaging) doesn't promise that it repairs split ends, thickens, promotes growth and all the rest you see, so you cannot not like this product in my opinion. Unless you don't like the smell. Even though it doesn't say anything about perfecting split ends, i do feel it helps keep them a bit tidier and less frizzy looking. My hair is in desperate need of a good chop. I'm just a wuss and not a fan of hairdressers.

You can purchase this product from Boots at £8.49 for 100ml (9/02/13)
