Springbok Friday – South African Flag Nail Art & Video

Happy Bok Friday FashioniStars! I hope you’re all wearing your green and gold jerseys today and getting excited about our buff bokke playing on Sunday? Lately, I’ve been a little over obsessed with nail art, since discovering Inglot nail pens, so I thought, because our boys are playing this weekend, and it is Bok Friday, I would attempt to paint my nails with the South African flag. While I would have loved to do all my nails, our flag, as bright and colourful as it, is super tricky. Lots of lines, which means lots of concentration – something I’m not very good at. However, considering how tricky this design was, I didn’t do to badly. And because I love sharing everything fun and fab with you guys, I even did a video tutorial to show you how I did it it in case you wanted to attempt it. Scroll down to the end of this post for the video link I started off by painting all my nails, accept my ring finger in a gorgeous green from Tip Top Nail Chic called Adrenaline Junkie. It’s quite an intense colour that, on its own, often stains my nails, so I first…

Summer Nail Trends: Nudes

Nothing looks more summer-cool than nude nails on a beach bronzed hand. As you know, I’m obsessed with nail colours – it’s the quickest, easiest and probably one of the most affordable ways to change your mood in an instant. This summer, I’ll show you six of my favourite nail colour trends to try on your nails. Kicking off today with Nude Nails. Now, there are two kinds of nude; Simple nudes like beige and soft natural skin tones, and then slightly more amped shades with a hint of pink or muddy browns. Take a look Nude as in naked If you want to create skin toned nails, I love these three colours. Three different shades of nude, but each with their own unique style and benefits… Of the three my fave is Tip Top Nail Chic in Cotton Beige. This colour has a slightly more yellow tone and is solid and full – kinda like gel. Yves Rocher in Beige Nacre offers a nice sheer tint (where you can still see the seperation between your nail bed and tips). Inglot 630 is slightly more metallic and offers a nice solid colour in two coats. What I like about this…

Nail Polish Love – Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow

Yellow is such a hot and trendy shade for summer nails, but finding the right yellow can be tough. Too light and it can end up making you look sick instead of stylish! This yellow is purrrrfect. Its from Sally Hansen, Xtreme Wear Nail Colour in Mellow Yellow and I love it! It glides on easily and after three coats, my nails are brighter than a banana! How cool is that? Sally Hansen Extreme Wear Nail Colour retails at R89.95

OPI Black Shatter Nail Polish

Ohh, how amazeballs is this crackle nail polish from OPI? I walked passed it in the mall yesterday and just could not resist! I had to have it and I gotta say, I love it! Seriously, how cool are my nails? A little short I’ll admit, but I love the graffiti-like, almost leopard print effect this crackle polish creates. It’s part of the new Katy Perry OPI collection, which also includes a fab range of colours that are on my wish-list. For now, I’ve made BFF’s with the Black Shatter Nail Lacquer. Creating wild effects with this polish is so simple. All you do is paint your nails with any colour of your choice. I chose a yummy yellow from Sally Hansen called “Lemon Dash” as my base colour. Let the colour dry completely and then add a coat of OPI Black Shatter polish over it and watch it transform into a cracked effect before your eyes. So cool! You can create a crazy range of styles using different colours and different techniques with this shatter polish. Try light strokes, double coat strokes and even try playing around with how much pressure you apply when painting…

I absolutely love this range of nail polish from Sally Hansen. Complete Salon Manicure is like an all in one nail treatment that works as a base coat, colour and top coat all-in-one. This colour, Polar Bear is gorgeous! It’s white, yet classy, without the tippex effect.
