Pink Studded Foil Mani

Sinful Colours Pink Forever has been in my untried for quite some time now... (Which is a shocking since its such a gorgeous colour ! ) and I decided it was about time it came out for a mani. I got some Sila nail foils a while back too , and decided to give it a try too .

Hi guys ! Hope your had a great week and have fun plans for the long weekend ahead.  Today I'm sharing some of the colours of the Revlon Shadow links .

Wise up on Beauty Treatments!

Wise up on beauty!  Hi guys ! Don't you just hate booking an appointment at a salon for a treatment and then being completely let down  by it ?? Then you'll love the Pretty Smart website.. Were YOU can rate and review salons you have been too , or first read up on a salon you might be interested in going to and read what other ladies have said about it before spending your hard earned money. They even have a top rated Salon section , were you can see which salons in your area is the cream of the crop , and which salons to stay VERY far away from. The site will even be able to help you before booking treatments for a friend or mom where you can look up great deals in THEIR area.. How awesome is that ??  What Pretty Smart offers on their site :  www.prettysmart.co.za They list salons , spa's nail bars and aesthetic clinics. They list their telephone number, address and price-list.. And if they offer specials that too !  They have a easy to navigate site wh

But onto the nails -  For the mani I used : Pinky - China Glaze Glistening Snow Ring - Tip Top Black Forest stamped with China Glaze Adore (And my MoYou plate) Middle, Pointer and thumb - Avon Nail Wear Pro Loving Lavender I loved that this mani was girly and classy at the same time .  How has your week been so far ?

Marc Anthony Grunge Hair

*SPONSORED POST* We love what we see on the runways for this season; the austere lines give so many options for hair! We are entranced by both the dark femme fatale and the new grunge girl.  Messy polished. Our muses for this season: a legendary young Catherine Deneuve and infamous Courtney Love. The trick is getting the perfect set with an ‘I don’t care’ finish.  The size of the curling iron is important; the larger the iron the more sophisticated the look. Hair should be left less than perfect to keep it current. GET THE LOOK: ‘ Set’ the look…  We like to use a tiny bit of  Dream Waves Beach Spray  (R129.99)  as a setting lotion. Once hair is dry, take the correct size of iron and begin to ‘set’ the hair. Roll it up into the iron and once warm ‘slide’ the iron out carefully (leaving the roll in place) and pin it into place. Mix it up…  Don’t match the size of each section. Curling differently sized sections of hair creates a modern type of movement.  Big an
