Essie Go With The Flowy nail polish is one of six colors from Essie’s winter collection. This snowy grey has a slight sparkle which adds some festive dimension to an otherwise pale polish.

I have to admit, I thought this was going to be a white nail polish when I was looking at it in the bottle. It was when I began applying the first coat of nail polish I realized this was not your average winter white! Go With The Flowy by Essie is a grey-white with subtle sparkle, which is anything but white!

This is a fabulous winter color for nail polish. I love the neutral tone of the color, plus the understated sparkle which adds dimension to the polish; making it an un-grey hue, if you catch my drift. 😉

Essie Go With The Flowy nail polish is an easy color to wear this winter season. It plays well with any color palette, and can easily transition from late winter, into early spring 2017. After all, shades of white and grey polish are going to be hotter than hot this upcoming spring season, why not jump on the trend now! It is a great way to brighten a cold, grey winter day! Love!

I tested out Essie Go With The Flowy nail polish with one base coat, and two coats of colors. The second coat evens out the polish, allowing it to dry streak-free. As with other Essie nail polishes, Go With The Flowy did not need a top coat since it is sturdy. I was able to stay chip-free until my nails grew out and I needed to change the polish. Love that!

If you are looking for a workhorse neutral nail polish which is unexpected, and can carry you into early spring, Essie Go With The Flowy is the nail polish color for you! You can find it online here.

Essie Getting Groovy is part of Essie’s winter nail polish collection. This beautiful, sparkling gold color is ideal for  brightening up a dreary winter day, or for celebrating during the holiday season. Love it!

The golden hue of Getting Groovy by Essie is a festive, sparkling hue. The polish itself is foil-like; it doesn’t streak at all, which is a huge plus! It applies evenly, with proper saturation in two coats. I tested out Essie Getting Groovy nail polish with one base coat, and two coats of color; no top coat. It lasted a full week before my nails grew and I needed to change it. This is a great nail polish!

Metallic nail polishes are a huge trend right now, and well into 2017. This makes Getting Groovy by Essie a fabulous nail polish to invest in. The golden hue acts like a neutral, making it easy to wear with any color palette. Since it is a sparkling polish, it is also perfect for celebrating the holidays, and ringing in the new year! Love!

Actually Organic Argan Oil review

actually organic argan oil actually organic argan oil review

My hair is constantly flying away! The only way to keep my hair from being too dry, and flying all over the place, is with Argan Oil. I have tried many different brands, but have not been 100% happy due to how the product smells, or its’ inability to perform.

When Actually Organic introduced me to their Argan Oil product, I was excited! The Actually Organic Argan Oil is 100% pure argan oil, no additives! This told me the product might actually work!

I was thrilled when I received my bottle of Actually Organic Argan Oil. Of course the first thing I did was try it! The oil was not greasy at all, and was easy to apply to my hair. Since the bottle has a spray, it is simple to apply evenly throughout hair. It was nice to not have any oil smeared on my hands, only my hair! Love that!

The one thing that took me by surprise was the smell! Normally argan oil products have some sort of smell; whether it is added fragrance or from the ingredients themselves. I tried really hard to find the smell of Actually Organic Argan Oil. I smelled my hair, the bottle, my hands; only to discover I could not smell it. That’s right! There is no scent AT ALL as far as my nose can tell. It is 100% odorless to me. I was shocked!

As someone who loves to wear perfume or scented lotion, I am always annoyed when my hair products have a fragrance which competes with my scent of the day. Actually Organic Argan oil has absolutely no smell to me, this means I can apply it liberally throughout my hair and not worry about it competing with my perfume. Love that!

The verdict: Actually Organic Argan Oil gave my hair the right amount of oil it needs to not be dry. It does not leave my hair greasy or dirty looking. My hair looks clean and smooth. Without a detectable scent, Actually Organic Argan Oil is easy to wear daily since it does not compete with my perfume of the day. Love that! I am rating it five out of five stars!
