Topic Tuesday: Favourite Colour Combo for Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day I think that typical choices would be red and pink. I am currently trying to use up my bottle of Champneys Pink so have been reaching for that a lot this year for Valentine's. A good red would be Barry M Blood Orange.

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Base and Top Coats

I don't often use a base coat but if I do it is a peel off one from Unt.

As for top coats I really like the Glisten and Glow Quick Dry one, it is glossy and most importantly dries very quickly and doesn't smudge nail art.

Review: Lush - Bat Art - Bath Bomb (Halloween 2020)

Bat Art is a bath bomb released for Halloween 2020, I got this in October.

"Unfurl violet glittering bath art"

The bath bomb itself is bat shaped, is black and has some sparkle.

The scent is along the same lines as their 'Junk' scent, described as lemon, orange, rosemary, sage and blackcurrant.

Bat Art took a long time to dissolve, it turned the water a very dark purple colour.

I couldn't pick out a particular scent, just fresh which did linger on my skin afterwards.

Something to note, this bath bomb does stain the bath. Also it has finely milled glitter in it which stuck to the bottom of the bath as well my skin. I didn't notice the glitter whilst in the bath.

I liked the colour this turned the water, the shape and the scent.

I didn't like having to scrub my bath afterwards, or the glitter.
