VINYLUX

I discovered Vinylux nail polish in Miami this winter - it's a weekly polish that you can remove by yourself and doesn't require soaking in acetone or breaking the surface before. It lasts about a week nice and shiny without chipping and even longer on your toes.  

I was very happy to find it here in London as well. I love red nails on me but they normally last only about a day. I'm not good at maintaining anything (hair, nails etc.) and I hate the idea of not being able to remove the polish by myself, so Vinylux is clearly the product for me.

Perfect red!

WEDDING MANI @ LORETA JAG

We managed to fit quite a lot in our short girlie weekend. One of the things I had planned for us was a manicure at my favourite salon Loreta Jag in Knightsbridge. This is what awaited for us. What a lovely treat!

Loreta opened her salon only recently. Before that she operated a mobile service. I have had her doing my nails for years; from before I even had children. I'm fussy when it comes to my nails and I can, a hand on my heart say that nobody does a mani and a pedi like Loreta. She's quick and efficient and does the most immaculate job in painting. The other girls at her salon seem to be just as good too!

Loreta herself is on the left.

My friend Anna's super cool manicure. The kind of colour I often opt for.

And this is mine. I wanted Loreta to do my nails for my wedding so I had to have them done a week before the date. Never mind though as Shellac (or Artistic in this case) will still look brand new on the day. Note (the just about visible) different colour on my ring finger. Thought that was quite clever of me, heh.

Ps. Thank you SO MUCH for all the lovely comments in my previous post!

Pps. You can find Loreta Jag in 2 Yeoman's Row in Knightsbridge not far from Harrods.
