Leather Effect Nails

Darlings, if you haven't heard of the leather nails trend yet, you are well-behind time. Nails Inc is launching their leather look polish in two shades (NoHo) and Tan (Soho Mews) as part of the new Bling it on Leather & Skulls kits. The kits will include a leather effect polish and skull embellishments to create a truly striking look. The polish applies glossy but dries to a chic leather look texture without the need for top coat.

This is definitely the most expected trend for next season, with a waiting list of more than 700 people. Nails Inc Leather & Skulls previews with Selfridges, Selfridges.com and nailsinc.com on 13th December and nationwide on 20th December. I have just joined their waiting list and so can you. It seems that 2013 will be rocking.

New Skin Caviar Liquid Lift

It is the 25th anniversary of the launch of La Prairie "caviar standard" of age defying skincare and we are celebrating with them. They joined the inimitable golden caviar pearls with a unique Recovery Complex that alters the skin's basic structure for long-term firmness. The new Skin Caviar Liquid Lift now offers the highest concentration of pure Caviar Extract of all La Prairie's illustrious Caviar Collection treatments. And the results for us? Transformed look and feel of our skin to a degree previously unattainable by a skincare product. We only have to wait until September, when it launches at Selfridges and selected House of Fraser stores nationwide. Just a couple of days more until we can try this sublime serum! Can't wait!

Selfridges launch MAC on 3

Fashion hub Selfridges is launching a new fashion-cum-beauty experience with a sleek, urban MAC showcase space on the third floor. 

Breaking away from the traditional counter space on Selfridges’ ground floor Beauty Hall, the inivotive cosmetic brand will provide the perfect synergy between fashion and beauty shopping, taking you that bit closer to the high-octane atmosphere backstage at London Fashion Week. 

The space will offer fully interactive services, including eyelash application, tutorials, and make-up applications by appointment (choose from bridal, express or standard), as well as walk-in demos and product purchase. 

The aim is to really engage customers and get them involved in the process. MAC has always been the go-to brand for professional make-up artists (I defy you to find one that wouldn’t sell their soul for the quick-fix that is MAC Face & Body), and that world just became approachable. 

“MAC has always brought a cutting edge make-up service to the consumer straight from the runway” says MAC’s head Make-up Artist Terry B. “MAC’s heritage is firmly rooted in fashion and beauty and this new location is the perfect environment to give our customers an outstanding beauty offering”. 

It’s everything that make-up has been missing – bespoke, personal, and totally individual – all hail MAC on 3!
