Hi There

Rose Bud

Rose Bud

My nails are so happy to have Shellac back on – yay! Loving this soft, pretty and very girly pink from Shellac called Rose Bud. I do love my pinks, and while I normally opt for brighter colours, I decided to tone down the shade with something more muted, since I wanted a subtle nail art effect this time around. Check out the “bling” on my ring finger. I think works perfectly with this colour. What’s your fave colour right now?

Polka Dotty Shellac Nails

Polka Dotty Shellac Nails

I had a really tough time choosing a new colour for my Shellac nails yesterday. I’d been dying to try something from their Spring 2013 Sweet Dreams Collection which has some beautiful pastel colours. But, it was so hard to pick just one! Being indecisive and greedy at the same time, I decided to have a little fun with my nails. The end result (thanks to the amazing Jo-D), was this fun, polka dotty nail art design. I love it! This is such a fun nail art design, and I’m really digging it! It makes me feel like a kid again. Best of all, (like a kid) I got my way, by getting to wear three of the new colours, all at the same time! To achieve this nail art design, here are the colours that were used: Thumb – Cake Pop *new Index Finger – Gotcha (an old favourite) Middle Finger – Azure Wish *new Ring Finger – Cream Pop (white) with polka dots using Blackpool Pinky – Limeade *new with a thin layer of Romantique The lime green on my pinky finger is quite a metallic shade and, on it’s own, it didn’t really compliment the pastel-pretty design. So, to mattify…

Products That Rocked 2012! Shellac

Products That Rocked 2012! Shellac

Once you’ve been Shellac-ed, there is just no going back! This amazing nail colour system has got to be one of my most fabulous finds this entire year! I was hooked on it from the very first application, which was  grey shade called Asphalt. I have since enjoyed wearing a few different colour variations including; Gotcha, Rock Royalty and Cocoa as well as Tropix and Rubble that are not featured in the images below. My favourite shade has got to be Tropix for summer. I’m actually sporting it on my feet right now! Then, for an every day, every mood, every season kinda colour, Cocoa is my number one pick! This amazing nail colour system has not only ensured that my colour stays close to perfect for up to two weeks, but because it’s a pore-less system – meaning that oxygen can get through to your nail bed – the health of my nails has also been improved. I am quite hard on my poor nails and without Shellac, I could kiss growing them goodbye! To read my full review on how Shellac lasted, how it was applied and how it was removed, with before and after pictures check out this blog post. I can’t…

Rock Royalty

Rock Royalty

Loving this shade of Shellac I’m currently wearing. It’s from their new winter collection, a gorgeous deep purple shade called Rock Royalty… I’m totally addicted to Shellac! I have been wearing it on my nails almost non-stop since I had my first Shellac application in January.

Nail Polish Love: Tip Top Cotton Beige

Nail Polish Love: Tip Top Cotton Beige

As you know, here at StyleScoop we’re obsessed with nail polish! Today, I’m wearing this gorgeous colour from Tip Top called “Cotton Beige”.  It’s a gorgeous, neutral colour that looks amazing on hands and feet. I found that a lot of very pale nail colours are difficult to apply, and you generally need a few coats to make them look anything like the colour of the bottle. This one is great; it glides on and in just two coats, you get a solid, true colour that’s perfect for summer. Imagine it with a tanned skin – mmmm! Tip Top is one of my favrouite nail polish brands, not only because it goes on so well and gives me about two days wear – which is a lot considering how much keyboard banging I do – but it’s also so inexpensive you can really afford to have gorgeous nails every day. Tip Top nail chic is available at Clicks stores nationwide. Comment below, let me know what you think of it xo Dimi
