I will be updating stuff from my preview with something new. Basically my next *insert amount here* posts will have something "older" and something new in them every time.
Today's topics: my new nail polishes and my much newer hair (which neither were in my preview... OOPS)!
Let's start with the "older" stuff...
That is nail polishes.
As most of my readers know, I spent my summer in Finland pretty much doing nothing although I did get all these nail polishes.
I have tried all of them on already, but lazy as I was, forgot to take pictures, so you'll get swatches later :)
OPI Silver Shatter and OPI Teal the Cows Come Home
Okay, I cheated a bit and got these from the airport, since they were so much cheaper in tax free than they usually are in normal shops.
They're my first OPI polishes, and so far I don't have much to complain. They're quite "runny" which makes the application easier for some, but messier for me (though I'm always messy with polishes).
Teal the Cows Come Home needs more than one layer if you want the colour to be close to what it looks like in the bottle (but that didn't surprise me), and as with most shatter/crackle polishes, you want to be quite fast with Silver Shatter.
Gina Tricot Base coat and Pearl Fashion UK Pomegranate
The Gina Tricot one I bought myself whereas I got the Pearl Fashion UK one from my friend Meri, who instead got it from a surprise bag at a convention.
Don't have much to say about these except that the base coat is very easy to apply, and dries fast which is ALWAYS a plus with me, since I'm incredibly impatient with waiting for nail polishes to dry. Pomegranate shows up very vibrant even after one layer, is easy to apply and dries evenly.
Flormar Supershine Miracle U09 and Flormar Matifying Top-Coat
I am kinda in love with these two. I got them both for 5€ from Seppälä in Finland and only regret not getting more. I was actually surprised to see Flormar polishes in Finland.
It takes two layers for the U09 to cover the nail, but the result is beautiful. It is this deep purple with shiny, tiny bits of glitter, and it's gorgeous. Downside is you have to wait for it to dry quite a while...
The matifying top-coat is so smooth. Honestly, it dries surprisingly quickly and leaves this smooth, matte coat and from under that you can still see the colours really well.
I love using these two together.

Aaand that's about it with the nail polishes. Like I said, swatches will be coming soon! But later x)
Now, to my new awesome hair that I got cut today at Toni&Guy Worcester!
I had the appointment really early (9.00!!!) so you can guess how happy I was when I found out the washing chair had a massage setting going from shoulders to lower back~
And my hairdresser, Connie, gave me a quick head massage while washing my hair! I love being pampered like that ♥
Got myself a fringe!
First I only wanted to get rid of my split ends, but the night before decided to go for a full fringe as well. I got to keep my hair long, which was the main thing. I was scared that she needed to cut way more off in order to get rid of the worst splits...
Never mind the bags under my eyes... couldn't be bothered to put any make-up on!
The fringe will be in my eyes in a week or two, but I don't care because I'm loving it right now!
That's about it for today, I'm afraid. More coming soon!
Stay human, and blog ya later!
