OPI Love: Red lights ahead…..where?

23rd May 2012

Summer is here! About time. I’ve always loved hot weather, everything always feels better with a backdrop of blue skies and sunshine. My summer ready rituals always start with a pedicure from Sonali. I used to work around the corner and still regularly pop in for my eyebrows and nails. Pedicure’s start from £30 and after they’ve buffed, scrubbed and massaged your feet, the therapists expertly paint away to perfection with their extensive range of OPI and Essie colours. I was in the mood for red and the new Holland collection by OPI caught my eye. The names are as daft as ever- gouda gouda two shoes, wooden shoes like to know it, I don’t give a Rotterdam to name a few! My fav red was the- Red lights ahead….where?

Here’s a few pics of my pedicure with my OFFICE gold gladiators. Ok, so I’m still working on the creative picture taking! Please bear with me I can only get better, I just thought I had to add my own pics in so you could see how they worked with my darker skin tone.

L’Oreal Professionnel: The Royal Wedding 2012 collection

12th May 2012

I was flicking through Grazia India (love the fact I can buy the latest issues on Itunes!) and I came across L’Oreal’s new ‘Wedding’ collection. The name’s are ohh so romantic -Sculpted Tiara, Vintage Embrace, Sea Shell and Swirling Sands as are the descriptions but the actual styles? I’m just not loving them, maybe I’m just too safe and need to be more adventurous? What do you think?
