Hi NaiLovelies!

I am back with another colour from the OPI Venice collection.

At the time of writing this post I have a girlie night planned for the weekend  I almost wore a stunning red from the Starlight collection as red goes with everything and I haven't decided on what I am going to wear.

However, St. Mark's The Spot was calling my name as the colours blue and silver came up in a Facebook group challenge.....so I think I will just have to wait to wear that red some other time - but soon.

For this manicure I applied three super easy coats of OPI GelColor St. Mark's The Spot.  

St Marks The Spot is an incredibly vivid blue with an incredible shimmer which just lights it up! In low light conditions the polish actually has a duochrome shift.  It is beautiful and reminds me of a more saturated version of OPI Miss Piggy's Big Number from last years Muppets Most Wanted collection.

The GelColor formula of St Mark's The Spot simply glides effortlessly onto the nails.  It stays where you put it, no shrinking, no pooling - totally drama free.  The shimmer of this polish is super special, it literally glows - off the top of my head I don't think I have another OPI GelColor polish quite like it in terms of the finish.

To create the feature nail, I painted two super easy coats of OPI GelColor Unfrost My Heart from the CocaCola Collection.  I then scrubbed in some Lecente glitter, I used Spark from the Fireworks collection.

I then framed the nail with Swarovski crystals which I set in OPI GelColor basecoat and then pushed OPI GelColor topcoat between the stones to set them in place whilst keeping that intense sparkle and texture of the crystals.

I really like the combination of silver and vibrant blue.  I am contemplating whether to update the manicure in a few days either with a good dose of silver stamping or I could just try out many different colour combinations to accompany the stunning silver feature nail.  It will be easy to do as the blue base is incredibly smooth.  I'm pretty sure this manicure will see a fair few incarnations.

Hi NaiLovelies!

I have another brand new post to show you today and it's a special one as the lovely people over at JORD Wood Watches recently contacted me to review a stunning natural wood timepiece from their collection.

After much deliberation due to the huge amount of choice on the JORD website and Instagram feed, I chose the Fieldcrest in Zebrawood & Maple.  There are lots of styles and wood types/colours to choose from.





Now that you've seen a few close up pictures, below is a picture of me wearing the Fieldcrest watch.  I absolutely love the large face the watch has.  It is so fashionable and gives a real essence of coolness to any outfit.

 Please check out my full review of watch over on Simply Into My HAIR to see lots more photos.

I am not one for the whole matchy matchy thing, I much prefer to go with manicures to compliment rather than trying to be a carbon copy of something else I am wearing.  I often wear gel polish so I like my manis to compliment lots of my outfits.  For the most part, I like to keep things elegant or striking but always very wearable with a suitable dash of fashion thrown in for good measure.

So in keeping with my personal style I went for a manicure that I think does just that.





My favourite colours are black and pink, so I decided to pair some striking black stamping over the pink toned nude from the OPI Venice collection, Tiramisu For Two.  I then pulled the two colours together by using Mundo De Unas Copper to stamp autumnal leaves over the top, which I think goes very well with the organic nature of the watch.

I made this short video which shows how I created the manicure.

I used the two LeaLac stamping plates below for the images which were stamped onto the nails.

I love how this manicure turned out, I can't stop looking at it and I think it is one of my favorite recent manicures, even though it was rather simple to achieve.  I think it goes perfectly with my new watch and in a few days, I can remove the stamping and put a new design over the GelColor base colour.
