Sally's Beauty Supplies SS13 haul: China Glaze in Aquadelic, Orange Knockout, White on White and No-Chip Top Coat

Hey lovely ladies!

Hope you've had a great day :-)

I don't know about you, but I have a Sally's just around the corner from where I work in Soho, and I am ALWAYS popping in there!

From L-R: Aquadelic, White on White, Orange Knockout (Neon) and No-Chip Top Coat

Recently, I picked up some China Glaze nail polishes for the new season. Here are the shades I bought:

Aquadelic

Aquadelic is a bright, vivid turquoise that's going to be perfect for summer. The formula is thick, creamy and really pigmented so a little goes a long way. I can definitely see myself wearing this a lot when it gets warmer.

Orange Knockout (Neon)

Next is this vibrant neon orange shade that I am beyond obsessed with. You only need a few coats and it's SO bright! It's definitely in-your-face. It's perfect for summer holidays :-)

White on White

I wore white nails on holiday but it's not something I usually wear day to day. Instead, I like to wear it under neon shades to make the colour pop! It really works as well.

No-Chip Top Coat

This is one of the best top coats on the market! It leaves a lovely, glossy finish and makes your nail colour last longer. I'll definitely be re-purchasing.

Have you hauled Sally's recently? What China Glaze shades do I need?

Love,

Sophia

Sally's Beauty Supplies AW12 haul - OPI, Seche and Deep Conditioner Packets

Hey loves :-)

Happy Saturday! I hope you've got a nice chilled out weekend planned.

Recently I took a trip to Sally's Beauty Supplies in Soho and picked up a couple of beauty treats. Here's what I bought...

Clockwise from L-R: Dear OPI, I Love You Duo #3 gift set, Seche Restore, Olive Oil Replenishing Pack, Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Deep Conditioning Protein Pack, OPI Let's Seal The Deal gift set

Dear OPI, I Love You Duo #3 gift set - £15.41

I picked up this OPI duo set because I find their nail polishes to just be outstanding quality - and it had a free pen! An Affair in Red Square (right) is a metallic, festive red perfect for Christmas parties and Lincoln Park After Dark (right) is just the darkest, richest burgundy. I like to wear it to add a touch of gothic glamour to any outfit, and I use OPI Nail Envy (Original) as a base coat to protect the nail and make the colour last.

OPI Let's Seal The Deal gift set - £15.49

I've been using OPI Nail Envy (Original) for YEARS and I've always wanted to try OPI's RapiDry Top Coat so I figured I'd pick it up as it was free with the Nail Envy. Nail Envy is great just to paint a clear layer onto your nails as it not only makes them look clean and tidy - it also strengthens them.

Seche Restore - £7.49

I bought this to restore my beloved Seche Vite Top Coat which has turned into a gloopy mess! I'll let you know if it works ;-)

Deep conditioner packets - £1.66 and 96p each

If you've read my blog for a whole you'll know that I am obsessed with intensive hair conditioners! Solely a shampoo and conditioner just doesn't cut it for me and I have to use something extra to give it that shine. I picked up the Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Deep Conditioning Protein Pack (£1.66) as I LOVE the coconut scent - it reminds me of holidays! - and I also bought the Olive Oil Replenishing Pack (96p) as I've heard olive oil is great for adding shine!

Have you visited Sally's Beauty Supplies recently? What do I need to pick up?

Let me know in the comments!

Love,

Sophia
