Bought Elle and Cleo this month and I dutifully tagged the pages with interesting nail features!
First up, Cleo!
The crackle trend continues with TFS' crackle polish. I tried the grey version out in Malacca and it dried matte as most crackle polishes do. The thing was, I didn't apply a top coat on top and by the end of day two, the crackle polish started fading.
Cleo didn't have much nail features but I did spot a cute mint coloured manicure on the model in this vintage-inspired spread.
I think the mint really compliments the vintage feel!
It's a little greener than in my picture.
Love the nails with the skirt!
And we're done with Cleo. Now for Elle!
I LOVE FANN'S NAILS!
Close ups! Gonna try this design soon!
They used Yoga-ta Get This Blue and Play the Peonies on her nails!
Love this picture of her in the magazine! So Twiggy-inspired!
On the inside, loving the colour block nails!
And they said they used Color to Dine For, Black Onyx and Sparrow Me the Drama. REALLY? Either they photoshopped the pictures too much (AGAIN. Remember last month's cover?) or they simply stated the polish names wrongly. Both are equally bad!
I think they used the same colours for the next page, or rather, the same model and she didn't change her nail colours. The colours stated on this page are more like it!
Also found an interesting article! Click to enlarge and read!
Your nails can be the first signs of aging so take good care of them and moisturise! I've been trying to apply glycerin to my nails everytime after I wash my hands after reading this article!
I love it when they have a page full of polish! But oh, too much photoshop / messing up the polish names AGAIN!
I've seen Revlon Midnight Affair in Watsons and it's NAVY BLUE. My guess is they used Revlon Steel Her Heart or Sliver Screen.
I also think they meant Chanel Peridot!
I know they've got major datelines and they don't have much time to do each article but at least make sure to get the names right! It's so important because some people actually see stuff they like and get them based on the pictures in magazines!
Anyway, absolutely loving the colour block nails and I tried tham out a few days ago! Pictures will be up soon in a separate post!
wow i really like the colour block nails too! argh but tough time cuz i'm actually letting my nails rest for now haha they've turned terribly yellow!
ReplyDeleteBuff them! I had terribly yellow nails too and when I went for a manicure, the manicurist buffed the yellowness until it was gone! And don't even bother with those 3 way buffers, they're too fine. Must buy the coarser buffer, PNC sells them quite cheap! But because it's coarser, you can't buff as often, maybe once every two weeks to a month if not your nails will thin out. And buffing also helps my polish adhere better to my nails!
