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.

Ocean Love Potion Sephora by OPI & Essie's Matte About You

Two weeks ago, I got really bored at work and started messing up my manicure. I peeled off all of my nail polish and of course regretted it right off the bat. I hate not having nail polish on. After my destructive behaviour had passed I started thinking about what colour to re-paint them with. Of course, all of my options did not please me in anyway. I decided that I needed a new colour and started my journey off to Sephora. Upon my arrival, I noticed a lot of greens and blues, shades I hadn’t tried since the sixth grade. I opted for a shade called Ocean Love Potion by OPI for Sephora. It’s a limited edition shade and it is uber cute! The swatch below is exactly what I looks like on.

It’s a great shade for fingers and toes.

Now let’s move from OPI to Essie. Essie has created a mattifying finisher called Matte about You. This top coat will take the shine out of any nail colour and you leave you with a perfect matte finish. If you are totally over shiny nails then this is for you.

Be Bright This Summer!!

I just purchased the most amazing shade of pink nail polish. Butter London's most popular nail colour at the moment is Portobello Pink! I was put on a waiting list to get this colour, it is that popular! Anyway, it is amazing and I will be using this colour religiously all summer long along with Essie's Carousel Coral! You can grab Butter London's Portobello Pink and Essie's Carousel Coral at Delineation Hair & Skin Essentials on Yonge Street.

Ravishing Red Nails

I am writing this post because today is the first day, after a very long time, that I decided to ditch dark purple nail polish and go red. Red is such a classic and chic colour. Like red lipstick, every single girl needs red nail polish in her life. For a classic shade of red try O'Hare & Nails Look Great! by OPI or Fishnet Stockings by Essie.
