I’ve finally had enough of bleaching my hair and abusing it by dying it weird colours.  It was nice while it lasted but it’s time for a well earned rest for these follicles.

I’ve been debating using the Henna we sell at Lush on my hair for what seems like aeons and over the last few weeks I’ve been washing my hair at every available opportunity in attempts to wash as much of the blue hair dye out as possible.  It was looking really dire and after seeking advice from a hairdresser friend she suggested doing a bleach bath to try and lift some of the dye from my hair.  I did this and it went a fantastic Lady Gaga esq minty green.

It was fun for about a day but I couldn’t hack leaving it like that and so yesterday I popped a commercial auburn/red dye over it which essentially will act as the “undercoat” for the Caca Rouge which is currently weighing my head down as we speak.  I’m leaving it on until about 21:00 (it’ll have been on for 4 hours then) and fingers crossed my hair will be amazing.

If I end up with hair the same colour as Jessica Rabbit I’ll be ecstatic.  Fingers Crossed. ;P

Whilst in Superdrugs the other day and saw this blue glittery nail varnish on the Barry M stand. Since they had a special offer on (2 bottles for a fiver) I ended up with the new crackle stuff too which quite frankly is ace as this link shows (although I would recommend using a light colour as the base). Overall I’m pretty pleased with this. It’s a lovely vivid kingfisher blue colour but it does need 3 coats to get to that. It lasts pretty well too. It survived 3 days on my nails before I finally suffered a chip which for me is a record (normally my nail varnish will last a day if I’m lucky).
