Curly Wurly's,
I had a little time to myself this evening, Wayne had gone out with the lads to play some snooker and I thought I'd treat myself to a nice bath!
I re-opened my Lush boxes and with trouble tried to decide which products to use.
I settled on my beat-up bath bomb!
I ran the hot tap and let the bath fill up halfway. I have heat sensitive skin, so what is Luke-warm to you guys will be much hotter to me!
I popped the Bath bomb into the water and it instantly started to fizz!
I ran the cold tap and went and sat down for a couple of minutes and came back to THIS!
If I could have jumped in fully clothed I would have. The water had turned pink, Which admittedly you can't really see from the photo and the smell was DIVINE! So I hoped on in to it and never wanted to get out. But the water ran cold and I got bored lying there after a while!
It left my skin super soft and smelling yummy. But that wasn't enough. I had to add in that little extra smell so I used some of the Snow Fairy shower gel too!
Two hours on I can still smell it off my skin. Even when I'm moving as I'm typing this I keep on getting fragranced Whafts (I'm aware whaft isn't a real word but it's how I describe bursts of fragrance!) The smell is like candyfloss and all things yummy! :)
In the bath I happened to look at my nails and I actually felt sorry for them. So I decided to paint them! I remembered that I had picked up a nail varnish in the week and I thought I'd give it a go!
I had bought "Houston we have a Purple" by OPI.
I started off by applying my Nail Hardener by Sally Hansen. I'm Lactose Intolerant so I can't drink milk, Which means I don't really get Calcium, Which sadly = Crappy Paper thin nails!
So I thought I'd give this a shot.
It's really good and dries really fast. You just apply one or two coats to your nails.
I then started to apply the OPI. What a LET-DOWN! I had to apply three layers before I could even start to notice a difference. This resulted in wet nails for the next half an hour (I had left my Rapid-dry in my mum's). Anything that I touched marked my nails and took chunks out of them. So in the end I got so Peed off that I just took nail varnish remover and started over again, This time only applying the Nail Hardener.
I would not recommend you buy this OPI. Maybe it was just a bad batch or something, Any other time that I have bought OPI, They have been really strong in colour and only require One or Two coats Maximum!
*Rant over*!!
I then finished up by applying some cuticle butter and sat down in a Huff!
On the plus side however. I still smell Yummy! :)
See... There's still a silver lining! :/
I'm off to relax for the evening now, Hope you guys do the same!
Lots of Love,
Courtenay

Great blog! :-) I've been wanting to get some of the OPI polishes for a while, but might not bother now if some of them aren't great! They're too expensive to not be good!
ReplyDeleteI have a few others and most of them are Great. I just found that "Houston we have a purple" was absolutely useless! I have ordered a few more from "The Muppets" range so I will try them out and let you know how I get on! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
