Hi All,
Just a quick note today – busy travelling, working and trying to get everything in place for a relaxing weekend. I have been thinking a lot about my favorite summer colours and having just painted my nails a beautiful shade of turquoise – thanks Misguided – I wanted to share the color with you.
Now, this is my top tip color for the year, not just summer and my previous Pantone article explains why! It is sultry, deep and calming, absolutely perfect for accenting your homes, wardrobe and of course your nails. Now as this is a darker hue than you may be used to, here are some tips to keep your nails healthy!
The best care for your nails
1. Always remove all nail varnish – I know this is obvious but old nail varnish will strip the oil from your nails.
2. Get yourself two products – if you don’t have these then I urge you to get them – OPI Nail Envy and Nails Inc Vitamin E oil pen.
3. Buff your nails and then apply both of these products, this will restore your nail health and create a base coat.
4. Apply 2 coats of your chosen varnish and wait 30 minutes before applying a top coat – that’s it, really simple!
Remember though, that this isn’t all about nails – this color can be accented through our eyes, jewelry and even hair – who doen’y love a bit of dip dye colour!
Be careful, this is a very strong color and it can easily go from gorgeous to over kill! Apply a small amount to upper eye lids and then make sure that you leave lips and cheeks natural, especially if like me, you have very pale skin!
Hope you love the color as much as me and the new look of the blog! Leave you favorite summer color bellow!
