During Vogue’s Fashion Night out, I was invited by the fabulous team behind Essie to have an even more fabulous manicure inside a Mini Cooper. Yes. A mani in a mini.

Nails of the week: glittery red
Here I am for another chapter of my love-hate relationship with heavy glitter polishes… Love the way they look, hate (with a passion) to have to remove them. So I use them with caution!
Nails of the week: bright green with ladybird
Ladybirds! I love ladybirds… but was too lazy to draw them on my nails sooo… I cheated!

Louboutin AND nail polish? Certainly the mention of these two should be enough to make me weep with excitement, right?
Nails of the week: Green, yellow and blue heart tips (World Cup III)
The World Cup may be but I still have a little back log of WC nails going round! This is the third of four designs, so one more to go!
This is a design I did a few times before and love. It ended up being less out there than the others and many people complimented it as a “lovely summery” manicure!
Nails of the week: green, yellow and blue (World Cup II)
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: 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.
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.
