Notd: By Celeb Nail Tech Kim Treacy

There is no better way to start the weekend than with a bit of pampering!

My nails look pretty awesome today – probably because i myself didn’t paint them.This is the handywork of super celeb nail tech Kim Treacy, who has worked with literally all the top magazines, as well as Micha Barton, MIA, Pixie Geldof and Lily Cole.
I love her twist on the classic French Manicure. The glittery tips are so pretty and jujch up a nude nail, without the glitter overload. Kim used a nude shade from Dior and one of the OPI glitters for the tips! Love love love!

OPI: Pirates Of The Caribbean Collection

It appears OPI love teaming up with a good movie, last year we saw collections with Shrek and Burlesque, and now they have combined their skills of decking out nails in a beautiful fashion with Disney’s new movie Pirates Of The Caribbean – On Stranger Tides. You might wonder what shades would actually be involved in a range dedicated to Captain Jack Sparrow. 
I hopped onboard The Golden Hind Ship in South London one wet morning last week and was pleasantly surprised by the treasures i discovered.

Ahoy Me Hearties is selection of very wearable spring hues, but all with a slightly murky undertone, giving that grunge feel. Grunge which is key for SS11. Not only do these colours have fab names ‘Planks A Lot’ or ‘Skull & Glossbones’, but they are also perfect for the summer months.

There is a definite stand out favourite for me, and i also think it will be a popular one generally; ‘Sparrow Me The Drama’ (see images below).

In addition to the Pirates Of The Caribbean range, OPI have launched a Silver version of their ‘Shatter’ top coat. I have to be honest, i wasn’t a fan of the original black shatter shade, but this Silver Shatter is much nicer, less harsh and gives a pretty crackle effect.
