Hard as ...

My Last blog I touched on a subject that was personal for me, I hope it did bring food thought and stirred some thoughts, I’d love to hear some of your opinions, do comment, we are all friends!

London has its last Bank Holiday approaching this late August, and *big sigh* maybe the last time we really get to show off our toes!

So if you don’t already know MATE I’m a let you know right here right now about Minx. This summer our talons has been the new accessory. The array of colours have been no holds barred – carnival colours such as yellows, oranges, aqua’s all kinds of hues that really perk up a summer which for once hasn’t needed it ...non.

Minx Toes

Squeeze out the last few weeks of summer fun to your outfits – Rimmel and Boots 17 nail polish range have sexy collections from fruity to powder hues and great on your purse strings too!

MINX!!

Originates from sunny California, Minx looks like a foil (see pic above). Minx is a plastic like material which is shaped and then adhered to your nails and can last up to 6weeks (on toes) on without chipping! They have recently started using Minx for the hand nails which I fear definitely more for a special occasion as the nature of Minx can peel - must be careful when with washing up etc etc ... to combat that get yourself some domestic goddess washing up gloves click here !

I have graced my toes with leopard skin stylie print minx which have lasted so well!

Nail Inc now provide this service from £30.00.

WAH NAILS

Now we’ve all been there back in our early teens attempting to do very poor nail art, now Topshop has revived the trend, with a concession in its flagship store in London of Wah Nails is main nail based in Dalston the mecca for all things extravagant – started up by a young 20something Sharmadean Reid who put her talents in focus, which has led her to amazing heights not only a the concession in Topshop, she also contributed to Chris Ofili’s Afrodizzia exhibition at the Tate.

The APPLE IPAD

I can see the Saturday papers now, tents put up from Midnight Thurs forming a long queue the length of Regent Street.
There seems to be mixed emotions about the IPAD, half find its like a big iphone, and the other half (which I’ve nominated to be president of !) is so enthusiastic and bl**dy excited about the IPAD! The IPAD is the sign of the future !! I imagine I see ‘cue cartoon bubble’ no more burnt laps, no more noisy machine. It’ll be like as easy picking up your subscription vogue… Admittedly the IPAD is not a necessity, it is more of an compliment to your home laptops/PCs/Mac, definitley an Ipod generation invention I will gab on no longer, go on have a look at the wonder that is the IPAD...
