This months mani uses Valentines Day as its inspiration with cute white hearts painted on my thumbs and ring finger to give a subtle nod to the love theme but without being too sickly-sweet.  This way, once the hype has passed, my nails will still look on trend thanks to the dusky lilac pastel shade on the base.

I don’t normally choose lilac but I’m totally in love with it, s’cuse the pun.  It has attracted plenty of compliments and I find it goes with everything I wear.  In fact, I’m really fond of this seasons pastels.  They get a more grown up, edgy appeal with denser, duskier hues this time around.  This counts for your wardrobe and your make up.  I love the dusky lilac and rose nail polishes available, plus the pastel clothing of the now uses quilting and bonded fabric to add a more structured cut with utilitarian strong lines.  Love!

Since it’s Valentines Day though, team your talons with this cute lilac Boux Avenue DEMI DIAMANTE SHINY CAMI SET, £30.   Single or attached, it’s a real treat for you or your partner.

So get thee to Powder and have some fun with your look.  Happy Valentines Day.
