Black Nail Polish and a Review :)



I love Fall/Winter. Not only are we allowed to eat disgusting amounts of food guilt-free, shop like crazy (Black Friday, Hello!) and be spared from the icky Summer heat, we're allowed to wear richer makeup and nail colors.
In 2006, it was very in Vogue to wear black nail polish. Celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton have rocked the dark hue. And guess what? Its baaaackkkk!!! Normally, I would think that black nail polish is reserved for Goth chicks who listen to Joy Division and write morbid poetry. Not true! 
I bought a bottle of Revlon's black nail polish in Black lingerie and it is so refreshing and sophisticated looking. It makes your hands look very vibrant and clean!
The only problem I have with it is that it tends to chip really easily. And chipped black nails look gross in my opinion. Also, I would not wear red lips or white makeup because you can end up looking like Morticia Adams when you do so.
Next on the agenda is a review for Chi Silk Complex. 
Friends of mine are always raving about Chi products so I decided to test drive one myself. I used the product after washing and conditioning my hair. I applied it and combed it through my wet hair and braided it before going to bed. When I woke up my hair was ridiculously soft, tangle-free and smelling great. The product smells like a guy's cologne to be honest, but I am a sucker for yummy smells so whatever!
It didn't tame my frizz as well as it suggests but bear in mind I used it at night and it could be bedhead. Also, do not use to much as it can be a little greasy. A pea sized amount is perfect. 
It is also slightly cheaper than Biosilk and you receive more product. Hmm. I might be a convert!
