NOTD: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in S-Teal A Base...


Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in S-Teal A Base is a muted teal colour. In the bottle you can clearly tell that the polish has a shimmer to it. However, as you can see in my photo, on the nail the polish looks like a regular crème from even a foot or so away as the shimmer is so slight.

After the fame: Eau De Gaga EDP by Lady Gaga...‏

“inspired by the adventurous woman and the man who loves her" - Lady Gaga


EAU DE GAGA is an enigmatic scent, fusing daringly diverse elements to create a beguiling allure. The fragrance is built around a beautiful heart of white violet, an intoxicating flower that fuses male and female attractions. To counterbalance this opulent woody-floral intensity, the scent opens with an invigorating burst of sparkling lime that exudes dynamic vibrancy. And it evolves into a sensual trail based on leather, adding a primal quality to the scent.


The singer described Eau de Gaga on Twitter as a clean fragrance composed of the three things she uses every day: sparkling water, lime and leather.
