Lush Rich Nail Polish Tones by Illamasqua

Nail polish in rich, lush, saturated jewel tones are beautiful and that’s what i love to wear regardless of season or time of year. I’ve found these colours from different brands but Illamasqua does several shades and they are a dream.

I especially love the Viridian, it’s an unusual luxe shade of turquoise, gorgeousness personified.

You can grab each one for £13 at Beauty Bay or Illasmasqua.

Justin Bieber Nail Polish?

Yeah, you read that right. Justin Bieber the singer is launching a nail polish line called ‘One less lonely girl.’ I find it really hilarious that the teenage pop star is launching a nail polish line? I always thought celebs made products that were a reflection of them in some way? I would have understood perfume perhaps but nail polish? Talk about stretching a brand to ridiculous proportions.

Well, benefit of doubt, let’s say he cares about the grooming of his many girlie fans (read devotees); given that his almost 6 million followers on twitter must be 90% female.

I like the colours in the range though, so who knows? I just might be interested in purchasing some Justin Bieber nail polish.

Fashion escapades…styling + shoot

Before checking out what’s up at LFW, I am reminiscing on one absolutely beautiful event I was part of recently. Took a class in fashion styling at CSM and we had to style a shoot. We did four looks, the whole process was sooooo exhilarating. Make up, hair, dashing from one location to the other, last minute hiccups, rushing against time, all that adrenaline…won’t trade the experience for anything.

Au natural, vulnerable look

Fun n playful look, think Accessorize ad, loved the balloons

Glam look, shot at the British Museum, it was those pillars

Biker chic, dark n mysterious, played up the smoky eyes

Take a look behind the scenes…

Make up Make up

It's raining but the show has to go on, we've got a shoot to complete

Team RULES! It was so much fun!
