Garnier Fructis Color Shield Hair Care

Hi All! It has been some time since I last posted! I've been crazy busy!

I'm here to tell you about the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Hair Care I received from Influenster (complimentary) for testing purposes!
 
I received the Fortifying Shampoo & Conditioner and the Shine & Care Spray (pictured below with the information card from Influenster and me giving my thumbs up approval).

These products are really great for colored hair! They smell really nice and not overly perfumed! The thing I like the most about these is that they have UV and heat protection to help my color last as well as protecting my hair from the damage caused by using my  hair dryer and straightening iron! These products have my "Shield of Approval" #ColorShield

I find not using the right products for my hair tends to damage it more, so I am glad there are products out there labelled SPECIFICALLY for colored hair!

Aly's Dream Polish

I am posting a review of a handcrafted nail polish called Aly's Dream Polish.

First off, I want to say that the polish is AMAZING. (I'm not just saying that either).

I did a test of it myself and it stayed on better than my "Professional" polishes.
I tried on my natural nail with base coat + colour + top coat as well as over my gel nails with colour + top coat. Both ways stayed on perfectly for almost 2 weeks (it was 11 days).
The way the polish smells: a LOT better than OPI and similar to China Glaze. I didn't get the normal complaints from my husband telling me it stinks (at first he didn't even know I was painting my nails beside him LOL).

The way the colour looks: GREAT! I really loved the colours!

Pros: Handcrafted, smells good, nice colour, long wear, 4/3 Free, Cruelty free

Cons: The nail polish is so far away from me! (The creator lives in the states and I live in Canada) So the mail sometimes sucks big time if you don't live within USA.
The only other thing I can mention is that it DID take work to take the polish off (ESPECIALLY the sparkle coats) but Ashley sent me some base coat specifically for under the sparkles which makes it easier to take off :) So I would recommend getting that product also (otherwise if you are special and tried it without it you will be trying for about 10 minutes to get the sparkles off!)
I would recommend this product and really like the variety of colours, sparkles, holos, etc that Ashley is making!

I tested (*Mermaid Scales & I Sea You - these polishes are NOT listed in the Etsy store but were made because I love the ocean and mermaids) Minty Fresssh, Holographic Topcoat, Girl Candy, and Space Voyage (I forgot to take pictures of Space Voyage, sorry!)

Minty Fresssh in the bottle
Holographic Topcoat with lovely labels! I borrowed this picture from the Etsy store!

Green gel under and Holographic Topcoat over (AMAZING colour with this!)

All toes have Holographic Topcoat under sparkles. 2nd and middle toe have Girl Candy (only 1 coat of each)

I Sea You & Mermaid Scales on 1-4, Minty Fresssh on pinky toe (I only did 1 coat of colour on each toe, so 2 coats would be much darker)


Thanks for reading this review (also I apologize for the poor images)
