Bleach London Washed Up Mermaid Temporary Dye Review

Overall I was quite disappointed in this dye, I'm not sure if I didn't put enough dye on (though I did put about a golf ball sized amount on each half of my hair) or if the colour didn't show up particularly well because my hair wasn't bleached but it only came out with the lightest tinge of green as opposed to the blue on the bottle.

Here it is whilst it was still wet after I had washed out the dye-

 The colour I ended up with really was quite different to what the bottle says. I knew it wouldn't be exactly like that because my hair's not bleached but I thought it would show up better, especially since I had dipdyed it blonde and it was fairly light anyway. I does look quite bluish in these pics but in reality it was more green.

The left is the photo off of the boots website and right is obviously my hair.
These photos were taken immediately after I had dyed it and washed it out without having any styling or anything.

After 2 weeks or so which would be about 8 washes I think, the colour had mostly come out but there was still a bit of green left to my hair, it stayed particularly well on some of the lighter blonde bits as you would expect. Another 2 weeks on from that (So 4 weeks after dying), as I  am writing this, I can still see a pretty faint green tinge to some strands of my hair.

Over all I'm not sure about his product but since I have a whole bottle anyway I will definitely be trying it again (with more dye this  time) but that won't be till summer probably as we arent allowed 'severe Hair cuts, styles or colours' at school and as I said the colour lasts quite a while.

Have you tried any of the Bleach London dyes or could you recommend  a better alternative?

Loreal Preference Wild Ombre Dye Kit Review

Over the summer I finally got round to dip-dying my hair and thought I'd share with you a quick review of the Loreal kit I used, which is below-

Here were the results straight after I had done it-

This is a photo of it about a week or two later when I was at the Fusion Festival (Which was AMAZING!) Ignore the facepaint haha this was the only nice photo I could find.

Rather than just combing it all through and leaving it for 45 minutes like the kit said, I brushed it through the bottom 3 inches or so of my hair and left it for 10 Minutes  then I painted it up another 3 inches and left it for 10 minutes, then painted it up another 3 inches or so up to my chin and then left it for the remaining 25 minutes. Then I just washed it out as the instructions said.

I chose to do it this way because I didn't just want a harsh line through my hair, I wanted a more natural, more graduated progression.

I really am quite happy with how it turned out :D

Ombre Nails DIY

I just love painting my nails, its like having little works of art on your finger nails :) unfortunately though I am not allowed to have them painted for school :( so during the summer I made the most of my chance to paint them. In all 6 weeks they were only unpainted for 1 day! Anyway this was one of the little experiments I did on my nails. I also did rose print and avengers nails so I'll probably post them later too .

I was quite happy with how these turned out to be honest and it was a lot simpler than I thought it would be too.

Ideally you need four shades of the same colour but you could probably make do with three. I used Essie Crewed Interest as the base, then Essie camera, then Revlon sweet tart (it was a special edition in a gift set and it is an absolutely gorgeous colour!) And then I used Essie she's pampered for the last colour.

All you have to do is paint one base coat of your lightest colour, let it dry then use a sponge to sponge on the next lightest colour 3/4 of the way up. Then you let that dry and sponge the next colour half way up and then finally sponge on the final colour just on the tips.

I only have the one photo of them because the lighting was quite bad but hopefully you'll be able to see the effect.
