Here we go again?

I need help. Mental help. So, before my ombre hair adventure I had black hair for a couple years. I've always loved my hair when it is dark. There is something about it that boosts my confidence. I've had my ombre hair now for a few months and I love it. I really do, but Pinterest has ruined my life and I keep seeing pictures of beautiful dark hair and now I'm feeling the urge to darken my hair again. Not to black, but to a dark brown with black lowlights. I'm not exactly sure how to make black lowlights a thing on my hair, but thats what the caption said for this amazing hair picture:


Should I or shouldn't I? HELP ME!!

ImPress- Press on manicure review


I never really buy press on nails, but my friend & I decided to get matching nails for work. I've seen ads for imPress & a coworker had positive things to say about it, so here we go. Now, they do not require nail glue, but my friend used it with hers because it will make them last longer. I'm all for that, especially because these are about $7.99 or so.

After:

They give you a lot of size varieties, which is smart, but I do suggest getting nail glue if you want it to last a while. It is sticky, but I could already tell if you scratch your nail against something, there is a good chance it would come off. They are gaudier than I normally like my nails, but since I'm doing this with a friend, I can handle it. It is a good product, I just wish it was less expensive. 

UPDATE: About an hour later, the length of the nails were driving me insane. If this happens to you too, I suggest you take nail clippers and shorten them. I was worried that would split the nail and ruin it, but it clipped like a regular nail. I'm much happier now.

Nails of the Week

It's a Nails inc. kind of week.

Everytime I go into Sephora I find myself gravitating towards Nails inc. polishes. They have a large variety including the best spring colors I've seen so far. The polish on the right is their 45-second drying top coat, which actually does dry in that time. The 3D glitter on the left is my favorite glitter polish I own, it equally distributes the glitter in each stroke, so 10 coats aren't needed to actually make your nail glittery!

Finished result: 
The picture makes the blue appear paler than it is, but voila!

Products:
Blue Polish- Chelsea physic garden
Glitter- Maida vale
Top Coat- Kensington topcoat caviar

^Those weird names are the ones listed on the bottom of the bottle
