Beauty Trend - Taupe Nails

In the sea of high-drama shades such as red and jet-blacks, it is sort of a surprise to see a colour like taupe become the new “it” shade for the up coming season – but it is! All major polish brands have come out with their own version of the glamorous taupe shade and it is popping up everywhere, from the red carpet to the catwalk. This colour is cool and chic without trying too hard. For those of you ready to get on board try these shades to get the glam look: Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in 505 Particuliere, OPI Over The Taupe, OPI You Don’t Know Jacques!, Essie Mink Muffs or Butter London Fash Pack.

The Beauty of the World Cup

I am so happy that Spain won! I spotted this article, shortly after Spain's victory, on Style.com, and I thought I would share it with my fellow beauty addicts!


The Netherlands: Orange County
Why the orange uniforms if the Dutch flag is red, white, and blue? Orange is actually the color of the Dutch royal family and is the shade synonymous with national pride. - NARS Cosmetics' semi-matte hit Heatwave.


Spain: Finger Wave
What better way to stick it to rival Dutch fans on Sunday than to give them the hand—a well-manicured hand, that is, featuring a fresh polish job courtesy of OPI's España collection. Go with Manicurist of Seville.
