Model's Own wonderland collection- swatches

Hiyaaaaaaaaa!
I know it's been forever. I've just had a sudden urge to blog and here I am! I turned 26 last week and got the Model's Own wonderland collection as a gift.
I'm currently wearing Southern lights, a purple-grey glitter akin to Juicy Jules



It's so special and sparkly. This is two coats. Not looking forward to the removal though.

I used the top coat Snow flake over Rimmel Celebrity bash an hated it.



It really didn't go with the red. It's a shiny, flaked glitter. It will look excellent over black or a pale colour though.
I will post the rest when I wear them.

Hair: Pink tips










I finally bit the bullet and dip dyed my hair! I have spent months researching and getting inspiration for this but I was still unsure of the colour choice when I was buying the dye! I really am pleased I went with hot pink, it's very me and very summery.
I got all my products in Sally's and my hairdressing friend Kirsty did it for me. All in all, it cost less than £20! The pink dye is Pinkissimo by Crazy Colour.
Kirsty bleached my ends with powdered bleach and a 40% 12vol cream peroxide. She used a feathering technique so it didn't come out in a straight line. This was left for 45mins and lifted out my previous colour. She bleached it again for another 30 mins to give it a lighter base. She applied the pink twice (we tried mixing with conditioner for a lighter pink but that wouldn't take on my hair) rinsed and I was done!
I love the fact that I can change the colour of my hair easily now, as I'm very fickle, and I'm already eying up Pine Green for a Christmas hair colour!
