Nails Inc x Alice & Olivia


Nails Inc Alice & OliviaNails Inc x Alice & OliviaI am having a bit of a Nails Inc moment. Previously I had a little thing for the Victoria Beckham collaboration which was all kinds of amazing and now my attention has diverted to the newer collaboration with quirky fashion brand Alice & Olivia. Excitement was an understatement when I heard about this new range as I totally admire the Alice & Olivia brand so I was excited to see what they would come up with. Inspired by her fall collection, the range has 70s boho and rock and roll vibes. Fall nail shades are definitely my favourite and all these shades have autumnal written all over them.

Unlike the VB set, there is more than two shades. To be exact 7 unique shades, 3 unique to the mini set and 3 other different shades released in the usual sized bottles with one shade being carried as both a mini and normal size. The price point is also much better! The individual polishes are the usual Nails Inc price while the set of 4 minis comes in at £25. Of course me being indecisive and not settling on one went for the mini set which includes four beautiful fall inspired shades. Being mini they are super cute too!

Starting from the top left, Next to Nothing is the lightest colour option in the range. It is a sophisticated milky nude pink which is such a classy shade and a great transition shade from the warmer season to the colder. On the complete other side of things, Ruby Night Sky is a much intenser shade. A deep burgundy purple-y shade that will be great as Autumn gets into full swing. Nothing beats a good berry red shade and Paris Rouge is the perfect example. With a sheen-y finish this deep berry toned shade will look great come Winter. Lastly, what’s this time of year without a bit of glitter? Gold Goddess is what it suggests. An intense gold glitter that looks great as an accent nail or for the whole shebang perfect for the festive season. I know this will be one I reach for come Christmas time.

The nail formula itself is also really good for each shade. Like most Nails Inc polishes, they are easy to apply and only need a couple of coats. The longevity is impressive too with all shades lasting really well on my nails especially the glitter shade which didn’t really want to leave my nails. Overall a beautiful fall nail range that I can’t wait to get more wear out of in the next few months. I now need to pick up those other shades particularly Rose and Poetry…heart-eyed emoji’s everywhere!

What is your favourite fall nail shade?

Alice & Olivia: Spring 2015 RTW


I like anything thats vibrant and fun and thats a great way to describe the Alice & Olivia line by Stacey Bendet. She showed her spring 2015 collection at a presentation in New York and again its a great lively and feminine collection. The thing I love about this collection and in fact the whole Alice & Olivia line is that all the clothes are totally wearable and are objects of simplistic beauty. The colours used through the collection were quite loud and vibrant with apricots, oranges, blues and even a spot of monochrome which seems big for next season. Similarly to Rebecca Taylor there was an influence from the 70s with wide flared pants and tailoring styles. The collection overall was incredibly pretty and feminine with embellished and beaded tops and dresses which I am totally in love with. Fab collection! Credit to Vogue.com for images.

Spring 2011


Here is a sneak peek at some of the Hottest trends for Spring 2011. The first big trend this season is the American Baseball College look which is everywhere at the moment. Another big trend at the moment is the return of the 70s look which means there is lots of flares and batwings out there ! And another trend which is always about at the Spring/Summer time is Brights which we all love and the last trend is monochrome which is so simple to do but of course very stylish ! Hover over the pictures below which represent each trend and you can find out the price and where to find it. I have put the price in pounds and in dollars , anymore prices can be found on the website.  Images :  ASOS, Topshop and Net a Porter
