So I am keeping my Brazil themed nails for the World Cup. This time, I went classic, with the Brazil flag. I used the flag just on my ring finger, as an accent.

Nails of the week: silver with colourful leopard print
You know when I say I obsess with things? Together with gradients, leopard print is a great nail obsession of mine.
Nails of the week: Green, yellow, blue and white “tie-dye” effect (World Cup I)
World Cup nails – that is what I’ve been calling them! They are however, a bit more than that: they are showing support to my team – Brasil!
I decided to put into practice the invaluable advice from Michelle Humphrey, the Maybelline nail extraordinaire, and try a “tie-dye” type of nails.
Nails of the week: ten days of nails – green, coral flowery and tie-dye
This post is a bit different. I usually do a new manicure every week, and well, post it – hence the “nails of the week” series name.
Review: Derma Forte ScarMed from Farmaline
Oh, we all love French pharmacy products, no? Oui, we do! So Farmaline lends a helping hand on getting those brands over to your doorstep.
Their staples are hard to find French skincare and beauty products – they have an awful lot of them, together a very comprehensive selection of European brands. I got Scarmed, a silicon scar cream from Derma Forte, which is actually a Dutch company.
Nails of the week: All American red, white and blue gradient
Promise I won’t proclaim my love for gradients again (ooops). I had an American All Stars themed party, and as usual, I get over excited about themed parties, so went all out.
My earliest beauty memories
One of these days I was talking to people how I became so obsessed with makeup, style and shoes so I started thinking and went back to my childhood, when I used to smash my aunt’s Ciane’s eyeshadow palettes (sorry auntie) and smear my aunt’s Tiana’s lipsticks on my face, while they weren’t around.
The technique was the same: wait until they were distracted chatting with family or going over their daily and go over their dressing tables and pounce, in the dark, getting hold of anything I could, quickly.
Nails of the week: black and white with cherry sticker
So I decided to throw myself back to the 90’s and sported white nails for a few days. As I cannot bear my nails that simple I added a black tip to funk it up.
Then, my aunt’s and grandmother’ s manicurist came along (she also does my other aunt’s and cousin’s nails!)…. bringing something that was completely new to me.
Costume making in stars and stripes
Those who know me can confirm I am not one to pass the opportunity to dress up. I LOVE dressing up. When I do it, I go all out; no point in being half-hearted, right?
Nails of the week: metallic blue
Before I went away, I decided to do a simple, but effective mani, as I knew I was getting my talons done professionally for the duration of my stay.
So I use the beautiful Stargazer Chrome nail polish in 236, a beautiful blue hue on my very short nails – I broke one really badly so had to give them all the chop!
