Review: Nicki Minaj OPI Nails

 

I bought this super cool OPI Nicki Minaj Mini nail polish set when I was in Hong Kong, & I did my nails using 2 of the polishes from the set: FLY (Turquoise) & METALLIC FOR LIFE (Glitter).

OPI is one of my favourite nail polish brands & this is just what you expect from OPI quality  nail polish. I love that the names of the nail polishes are inspired by some of Nicki's songs. I only have 4 of the 6 polishes in the set, and my favourite has got to be Metallic For Life. What can I say, I'm a sucker for glitter :)

 

Have you tried any of the polishes from this collection? What do you think?

Bikini Heaven: Thaikinis

Its summertime & that means we can all go to the beach & rock gorgeous swimwear!!! Yes I love to go to the beach & relax & sunbathe in my favourite swimsuit. And Thaikini seems to be a great brand that has some lovely pieces.

Thaikini bikinis are all from Thailand, and chances are you wont find many people with the same bikini as you, as they sell a limited number per style.  Sizes range from Small - Large, and styles include these stunning boob tubes, or the standard triangle shape top. Any one of these Thaikinis will cost you only R250 which is a bargain for such cute swimwear.

If you are in Durban, you can make arrangements to pick up from the owner of Thaikini. For all you other ladies elsewhere in South Africa, you pay a mere R63 for overnight delivery!

For more info, visit their facebook page here.

China / Hong Kong Snaps Part 1

 

Finally uploading some China pics!!! Yes after being home for over a week I have avoided having to edit, update and all that.Oh and in case you didn't know - there is NO TWITTER, NO FACEBOOK & NO Blogger in China!!! You can imagine my HORROR not being able to update everything I did. Luckily for Instagram or I would have died ( @brettrobson ). This batch of pics are mainly from my Instagram feed but I will be uploading more pictures in the next few days. Honestly though, actually didn't get to take as many pictures as I had hoped for. I was there for work so I really only had a chance to do my own thing in the evening - alone lol. You know I don't mind my own company right?! Anyway, I had an AMAZING time & I am super excited to share this with you guys.

On the streets of Hong Kong.

Stunning knitwear at one of our suppliers.

I LOVE STARBUCKS!!!

This was the view I had from one the hotels stayed in.

 

You can look forward to many more pictures!

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Spring Summer 2012 Hair Trends

I am excited to share with you my favourite hair trends for Spring/Summer 2012 - for one - the ponytail is back. But did it ever actually go out of fashion? As versatile as ever, the ponytail was worn low & flat at Reed Krakoff and Ports 1961; as opposed to the Marc by Marc Jacobs runway where we saw the pony tucked under and sectioned off; & who can forget the damp, slicked pony at  Diesel Black Gold and Donna Karan. Personally, I don't wear my hair in a ponytail much but I'm certainly keen to update my look by trying something different. Rather than save your pony for in between washes - why not make your pony a fashion statement?!

Glistening hair has got to be the most interesting hair trend for me - I don't necessarily see myself wearing my hair in this supposedly "low maintenance" hairstyle, but I could try it one day when I'm bored. Hairstylist Guido championed the trend at numerous shows, saturating strands with argan oil to arrive at a glossy finish all over or just at the roots. And well, I just love the idea of wearing my bright lipstick with it. What do you think?

The beach wave has gotten an update this season - a loose, louche curve in the hair that had models on the catwalk simply oozing effortless cool! And it looks absolutely easy to do. The street-ready style only requires a rough blow dry, subtle curl with the iron, and raking through with the hands to create the right amount of undone-ness.

I have kind of tried this next trend. But couldn't resist attempting to use green chalk on my black hair! A-List celebs have tried this look & I'm sure we've all seen the magazine spreads featuring this candy coloured hair. The Dip Dye hair trend is bold & daring - & I love it!!!

 

What hair trend are you keen to try?

 

I'm  going to attempt these hair trends and post some video tutorials.

Watch this space!
