L'Oreal Ombre Hair colour review

I really like all the dipped dyed hair looks I have been seeing in all the magazines, over the last few months. So when I saw that L'O'real had brought out the Ombre hair dye I thought brilliant this looks easy to use.
This isn't the cheapest product at £6.99 and comes in three colour. I chose the Ombre in shade one as my hair is medium brown.
The colour was easy to apply the bleach gave a even colour result. The only thing was it didn't lighten my hair that well. I'm not sure if this was because of my hair having so many colours on already ( been dying it for years).
At first I was a little disappointment but know I love the fact its a subtle effect and have had lots of complements and looks great when its curled.
Any way here are the photo for you to have a look at.

Candy Nails with white tips

I was feeling a bit bored of the dark long winter. So I decided to go for cheerful simple candy coloured nails.

Below are the products I used to create this nail design.


  • First I used a base coat to protect my nails.
  • Next I painted my nails with two coats of Model's Own Lilac Dream and Illamasqua's Caress on every other nail.
  • I used the brush in the Model's Own nail art pen in white to draw the lines on the tips of the nails.
  • I then finished with a top coat to help the nails to last longer.

MUA Caviar nails review

I have tried using the Ciate Cavier nails which come in lovely colours but the beads do not stay on long and are quite expensive. When shopping ion Superdrug I saw this cheaper version by MUA at only £3 a pot. I thought great a bargain and worth a try out.

I used Illamasqua's Nail polish in caress as the base and then poured the cavier beads onto the nail. the first thing I had problems with was opening the lid. When pouring the beads I used the try that came with the Ciate set to catch the beads that fell off. 
All the Cavier beads seemed to stick ok, I pressed them on as the instructions said to do so. And finished with a clear top coat.
To pour the caviar beads from the tray back into the pot I used the funnel from the Ciate set. 

This is what the nails looked like after one day.

As you can see all the beads are coming off from around the edges, which is a bit annoying as I really like the effect they gave.

The MUA beads are great for a night out or special occasion. The Ciate Caviar nails do last longer but cost £18 which does include a nail varnish. I will put a review up of the Ciate Caviar nails soon.
