Fashion season is upon us, with international shows keeping
beauty bloggers busy with new trends in hair, makeup and of course nails. A blog I
turn to for trend reports (and just a daily dose of swoon-worthy awesomeness)
is ViviannaDoesMakeup, and once again she has her finger on the pulse and
recent posts are covering beauty trends from London Fashion Week.
As soon as I clapped eyes on the nail trend she sported in a post earlier in the week, I put down my iPad and set to work recreating the
look on my own hands. A pretty nail trend
that even I can manage, this screams class with a neutral base shade and a bit
of fun with the metallic accent. I prepped my nails lightly using the funky
Aztec Nail Shaper* from Manicare (1.95) I used the upcoming L’Oreal Vernis
Color Riche shade in 622 Soft Chinchilla*(5.95) which is an absolutely
beautiful grey shot through with mushroom that I find really flattering on the
nail. I tried to find a pretty and opaque metallic to dot onto the base on the
nail with my splayed out bobby pin, and Australis’ Foil Spoil* (7.95, original review here) fit the bill
nicely.

A nice and simple bit of nail art like this makes me feel
classic but on trend at the same time. Now I’m off to scour the fashion week
blog posts for another hit of inspiration…

Hi Emma. I'm Sunshine from LittleMissSCB.blogspot.com.au.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and I've nominated you for a Liebster award. http://www.littlemissscb.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/nominated-liebster-award.html
I hope you'll check it out and let me know when you've answered the questions. Take Care. Sunshine xo.
@Sunshine Thanks for thinking of me, I've done the Liebster before (years ago now) and it is lots of fun :) If I do it again I will be sure to let you know.
DeleteCute! Something easy and a little fancy for people who have no nail art skills and patience i.e. me. haha
ReplyDelete@Angela that is exactly right! I am terrible at nail art, so this was a big win for me
DeleteSo adorable :)
ReplyDeleteI own Soft Chinchilla and it is such a wonderful polish :) I love the brush, the pigmentation and the formula of those L´OREAL polishes :)
hugs

@shortylegsbeauty It is an amazing colour, it isn't officially out in Australia yet but I have a feeling that it will sell really well. The brush of these polishes are my favourite :)
Delete622 aye? I'm going to keep a look out for it. LOVE it on you :)
ReplyDeleteSimple but effective, love it! Definitely going to try it, thanks for the idea :)
ReplyDeleteThat is an uber easy nail art to follow and very chic dare I say?! Time to do my nails which have been sporting just a base coat for the past week. I'm such a failure when it comes to doing my nails! Even my girls are more on the ball and they're only 11 and 9!!
