Help me out - I need a new hairspray!

First,I am not a big fan of hairspray (or any other styling products like gel,moose,wax..) and I try not to use it very often,but sometimes you just need that extra help to get the style you want. For a quite some time now I am using L'oreal "Elnet",and it does its job and holds the hair without making it to sticky,it's easy to brush out and so on...But a huge downside (at least for me) is the smell!!

It is such a strong, intense "old lady" kind of smell,that every time I use it I have to hold my breath,spray and run away from the bathroom as fast as I can :( Well,at least my hubby and my son find that amusing :)
Maybe I am just to picky and weird when it comes to scents and smells but I came to the point that really bothers me a lot.

Now I need your help to recommend me a good hairspray,that holds the hair in place (or holds the curls),doesn't make the "helmet" effect,but most important that smells nice.Or at least that the scent isn't that intense.

There are sooo many brands that I just don't know which one to choose! So if you know a good one that you tried and like please leave a comment and let me know:)

Do you you use styling products for your hair and how often? What are your go to products?

Bad hair day = Good hat day :)

Hello ladies:) Once in a while we all have bad hair day,maybe we were lazy to wash the hair in the morning,or there are some roots that need coloring...well I like to turn my bad hair day in to a good hat day:)

In love with my big floppy hat :) Its so 70's,so perfect for fall.

I usually pair it with big sunglasses,a leather jacket (like today) or a fur vest. I also wore it today with a flower kind of vintage print dress,but since I took the pics myself I couldn't really make it to show the all outfit:)


Do you like hats? Will you wear them this fall?

Halloween nails 2: Spiders and stripes

Hello ladies,Happy Friday:) Today I have another Halloween nail art to show you. Again,something simple and pretty easy to do using just 3 colors.

Spiders and stripes was my inspiration for today. I used orange nail polish as a base (exept on my thumb where I used just a simple black polish).For the stripes and to draw a spider I used black nail art polish with a thin brush.The stripes haven't turned out quite as I wanted,but it's ok, I just need to practice some more :)
For the spider web and the eyes on my itsy bitsy spider I used white nail art polish. And thats it,not to complicated you just need a steady hand:)

That's all for today,hope you like it and maybe try it out:)
Enjoy your weekend:)

Halloween nails: Cat's eyes glow in the dark

Hello lovelies,I know I promised a few halloween nail art posts but I was very sick a few days,and kidney stones are no fun at all :( so I didnt even paint ma nails let alone did any nail art.But I am feeling good now and here is a quick and fun nail art I did last night:)

I saw a pic of cat's eyes nail art somewhere on line and I thought its perfect for Halloween.It's simple and quick to do and you don't need a ton of colors or tools to do it

I think it easy to do for beginners in nail art like myself,or if you want to decorate your nails for Halloween but don't want to go overboard:) I used just a basic black nail polish as a base (Yess Love brand),white nail art polish to draw the shape of the eye and lime color polish to color over the white (Yssy in number 143).To draw the line in the middle I also used the same black polish that I used as a base color.Finish with a top coat or any clear polish to make it more smooth and to add shine.And that's it:)

Hope you like it, I will try to do a few more posts on Halloween nail art.Would you want to see a non nail polish haul of some things I got last week (jewlery and stuff)?

NOTD: A touch of metal

Hi girls:) I am pretty bussy today so just a quick post to show you my freshly painted nails:)

Today I went for a version of french manicure with metalic and black combo:)

I painted my nails with "Yes Love" in number 8003. It is a very pretty antique gold with metalic finish,and for tips I just used black nail art polish with a thin brush.I find that french mani always looks nice and if you play with different colors it looks more fresh and modern:)

That's all for today,hope you like it:) From next week Halloween inspired nail art only,so if you have some good ideas on designs let me know,and I will try to recreate it (still practicing )
