Empties: August 2025

Finished a 250ml bottle of topcoat, been using it since July 2023;

CosmicAurua Top Coat | A plump quick drying topcoat which doesn't shrink or drag the polish underneath on my nails. I have another bottle but would repurchase.
L'Occitaine Verveine Hand Cream | This is a lightweight hand gel, sinks in quickly and is nice on the go. I didn't notice any scent other than the verbena. I would repurchase this if I didn't have plenty already.

Garnier Ultimate Blends Pineapple Shampoo and Conditioner | Strongly scented of Starburst / Opal Fruits, a nice lightweight conditioner that didn't weigh my hair down. I would repurchase.
Lush Lord of Misrule Shower Gel | The scent is identical to the bath bomb, musky and patchouli and a little goes a long way. It is expensive, but I would repurchase it.
CurlSmith Weightless Air Dry Cream | A leave in conditioner, it is lightweight as the name suggests not heavy on my fine hair. This was a repurchase and unfortunately the new recipe didn't work well on my hair, so I won't repurchase.

Nail Polish Swatch: Baroness X - Fishnets

I don't remember when I bought this polish but it was at some point in the past few years. Fishnets is a fluid art polish which when used with other polishes creates 'cells' for an interesting nail art look.
