Valentines Nails

It's Valentines day tomorrow and I don't think I know many people who actually love Valentines day (apart from my friend Dani who once gave out little Thorntons chocolate hearts to everyone in our seminar at uni!) A lot of people dread it because they haven't got a 'date' and a lot of couples don't enjoy the whole mushy teddy bears and lovey dovey cards thing so I've found it's usually not a day many people look forward to. Although in recent years I've found myself liking it not because of my boyfriend (sorry Craig) but because of everything that surrounds it. Valentines Fashion, Valentines Make-up, Valentines Food and Alcohol, Valentines Television! All the things I like right there so what's not to look forward to! So who cares if you've got someone to spend it with or not, Enjoy all that the commercialisation of Valentines day has to offer! And if you really hate it then don't worry, Easter is soon and you can stuff your face with chocolate.

I thought I'd contribute to the Valentines nail art I've seen taking over Instagram and show you mine! I love this shade of pink by Essie called Cute as a Button. This was super easy to do as well because the nail polish brush is rounded at the end, so I did a diagonal left sweep and a diagonal right sweep and it was done! This look may be improved if my nails were more pointy or even rounder but hey ho what you do. I used Soap and Glory Pink Soda for the base (Which I got in this set that is now out of stock but you can use any pinky base) and sealed it with Sally Hansen Insta-dry Topcoat.

If you've created any Valentines themed nail art do link me to it here or on twitter (georgiabeeee) or Instagram (xgeorgia) I'd love to see it!

What's your fave or least fave thing about Valentines day?

Review | S Factor Heat Defence

Helloo! 

I've been meaning to post about this product for a while as it's something I have been using for ages! When I first lightened my hair it was really badly damaged, and so I was trying lots of different heat defence sprays to try and prevent further damage! 

I tried lots of cheaper brands, wasting loads of money on products that weren't effective and actually were making it even worse. 

Then my hairdresser recommended that I try to find one without Alcohol in it, because alcohol dries out the hair,  meaning when you apply heat you are losing even more moisture. 

So I bought this Tigi S factor Heat defence spray which doesn't contain any alcohol for the slightly steeper price of £13.50 and I'm so glad I did!

It works so well, meaning despite using heat on my hair pretty much every day, my hair is still soft and I have hardly any split ends! (I obviously get it cut regularly as well which also helps!) You only need the tiniest bit and it lasts so long, I actually ended up spending less money because one bottle lasted me around 6 months!

It smells amazing, kind of sweet and light and the fact that it's a shine spray is also good for blonde hair which is naturally less shiny than darker hair.

Tigi say:

'This high tech thermal protectant provides a soft shine with a healthy finish while styling with a flat iron and also protects from daily UV rays. Vitamins A&E nourish the hair while acting as antioxidants to protect the hair from environmental damage. 

- Heat protective
- UV protective 
- Nourishes hair 
- Adds shine 
- Use on wet and dry hair.'

I say: 

It does exactly that for me and I doubt I'll ever use any other kind of heat defence spray now I have discovered this!

So that is all! I love this, if you're having the same problem with cheaper heat defence sprays, either have a look for an alcohol-free one or just go for this, I've actually saved myself money as it lasts such a long time!

Thanks for reading!
