According to ORLY Summer isn’t over just yet in the City with its NEONEARTH nail collection.

I’m totally in love with ORLY nails and the company’s ability to deliver the most vibrant of colours for all seasons. These may be the 2018 Summer line up and I’m sure you’ve felt the cooler weather descending upon the City. These carefully chosen colours will stay with you through out the Autumn/ Winter. If the beast from the east returns. You’ll have that nail vanish ready and waiting bought on the back of the summer Sand of Time vibe.  Painting your nails to the tune of Desert Rose, Blazing Sunset, Valley Of Fire, Moon Dust and After Glow will focus your mind on good times.

ORLY’s Lacquer increases wear time. Pair with Orly Bonder and Polishield for longer lasting pedicures and manicures. Have a chat with your Salon or Superdrug to try Orly Gel-FX.

The Vitamin infused Salon Gel ensures chip free nails that last up to two weeks.

ORLY Neon Earth is now available from www.graftonbeauty.co.uk and www.superdrug.co.uk. RRP £11.

Step into Spring 2016 ORLY’S “Melrose” NEW nail collection March 2016.

Looking for something new in nail colour to start the NY. ORLY  have a few up their sleeve for Spring Summer 2016. Have a look at these wonderful colours available in three different product types ORLY Lacquer £10.90, ORLY EPIX £15.90, & ORLY GEL FX £12.95.

ORLY COLOR AMP’D NEW & exciting nail collection available Boots UK 15th October.

The most varied and fashionable colours you’ve ever wanted from one nail brand. Gel in appearance and needs no base coat, has a fast drying top coat with a gloss finish,  lasts longer than your average manicure, smudge proof  (meaning it smooths over if the colour smudges while drying). I personally love Sunset Strip as it has a vibrant finish and removes easily with a basic nail vanish remover with no problems. Think this is an absolute winner collection and perfect to brighten up the coming Autumn/Winter months. Available Boots UK 15th October 2015.
Head nail technician Ami Streets created this look for LFW using Orly nail colour for fashion designer Markus Lupfer S/S 2016.

KISS brings the salon home with many great ideas & products for nails & lashes!

A fun party last night at the launch of the NEW Kiss products  @KissProducts  @HomeHouseLondon with the wonderful @Leighton_Denny  &  @DaniellePeazer here’s some images from the party last night!

 

When it comes to the beauty industry there’s nothing better than having the variety of easy to use, good value & design of products to use. The company KISS has nails & lashes in droves to choose!  Easy come easy go,  which  means easy to apply and easy to remove.  There are variety of designs to suit all fashionstyles and if you’re interested in being a nail artist they have mini starter kits to get you going! £10.99 Superdrug in July & Asda in September 2014.

Lashes can be tricky at the best of times. I found these easy to apply without looking too over the top. Some of us love extreme beauty and others just want a natural version to enhance how we look. I would highly recommend these for the soft touch.

Some of the new products will be sold from September 2014. So here’s some links to get you going!  Superdrug & Azda   for further research try the American site  Kissusa.com & in the UK  Boots  stock these products too!

If you want to Dress to Impress at just £5.99 each from Superdrug,  although the LED lamp is sold separately at £38.99 & the Double Up Top Gel £13.99. These nails have a professional finish.

The  imPRESSIVE NAILS from superdrug £5.99 below are very popular with celebs like Nicole Scherzinger & Sharon Osborne,  they can be applied immediately & very easily for quick colour & style to dress your nails.

Gel Fantasy Nails ( Ready-To-Wear-Gel) are available in square or oval shapes with plenty of glitter! If you have any glue issues then there are adhesive tabs available so you’re ready to go. No LED lamp needed here!  Available from Azda September 2014 £8.99.

 

Make-up brands that offer sound products to suit all skin types, tones and pockets!

When it comes to foundation bases these are both perfect in their own right.  Sleek Make-up NEW bare skin £8.99 covers well and offers a warm and soft natural satin finish on the skin.  On the other hand Revolution Make-up London ONE Foundation £4 is fluid and available in 15 shades, its light/translucent finish offers the buyer the lightest wear possible perfect for this time of year.

If you’re looking for good matt powders both Revolution and Sleek Make-up  offer shadow palettes with many colour combos that are suitable for all skins. Sleek Make-up originally set up for Indian/Asian skin have the most wonderful pigments and colour schemes.

The above compact is Sleek Make-up for brows thankfully they offer dark brown/black not many other brands go this dark! The matt nude lipstick, black kohl and liquid blusher are all items i love using on the skin from Revolution London, and the amazing Sleek make-up Lip polish (gloss) that goes on like no other I’ve tried!  So many products to choose that won’t completely “break the bank” or empty your pockets!   Here’s where to buy online and of course in store!

The latest summer make-up news from No7 and the NEW Protect & Perfect Advanced & Intense Serums.

  Going into Boots can be very overwhelming when looking for make-up. So here’s a short cut to a few items recently launched from N07 that are completely worth your while for the summer months ahead.

The NEW Protect & Perfect Advanced £24.95 and Intense Serums £24.95 just went on sale to great acclaim.  Layering a serum under your moisturizer is very fashionable nowadays and works very well under your make-up. It makes a big difference to the application and finish of your make-up. Having used this product for the last five weeks i can actually say it’s made a difference to the over all look and texture of the skin around the eyes, face and neck.  It feels silky smooth, softer and well hydrated with a slight glow. I would highly recommend using this product under a day and night moisturizer for at least six weeks to reap the benefits.

For the summer months ahead look out for these make-up items when visiting your local Boots. Brilliantly Bare Beauty Enhancer £12.50 is perfect if you prefer not to use foundations or tinted moisturizers (it can be used for a flawless finish under your make-up base) and during the summer months it will offer the perfect solution as it’s silky smooth and evens out all skin tones. The NEW No7 Instant Radiance Bronzer £9.95 is easily applied with the fingertips over the cheek bones and great as a summer highlighter/bronzer. For the lashes No7’s NEW Lash Impact Mascara £13.50 is available in black and black/brown. For the lips look out for the NEW No7 High Shine Lip Crayon in Tropical Beach £9.00 and the NEW No7 BB Lips in Geranium £9.00, in fact this can be used as a cream blusher try some on your finger tips and add a little to the cheeks it really brightens up the complexion. To finish and for colourful nails try the NEW No7 Gel-Look Shine Nail in Summer Holiday, Mint Treat, NEW Orange Spice and the special edition Lemon Drop £7.

The No7 Summer Collection is available exclusively in Boots and on
Boots.com .
