I say RED!

choosing one main color and then mixing different shades is one of my favorite things to do. that very day I was in a red mood! I found these awesome silk polkadot pants at the TROIS POMMES luxury vintage in Basel and think they work perfect with the burgundy red suede platform pumps that I found at RIVE GAUCHE in Basel. my latest piece is the sweet grey bag with zippers – so happy that I found this one.

I am not really a person who wears black a lot so when I wear black I always feel very elegant and chic. my friend linda brought me this beautiful black silk acne dress with leather fringe and the only thing that seemed right was to wear it.

very simple – white black and red. basic pieces but a wow moment! I love these kind of looks as they can be modified for day and night. exchange the pumps with flats and you have a very casual day look.

something nice that I have spotted during the BASELWORLD fair this year. the cool thing about these pendants earrings is that you can wear them everyday with a rather chic look or with a very elegant dress for a special event – it both works!

1 2 3 striplac

a couple of days ago I told you about the Alessandro Striplac Starter Kit and that I really had a good start and that I got some more colors to try and have fun with! so, here we go!

I will start from left to right (see photo above)

#45 dark violet
a very nice and dark plum color

#87 hawaiian dreams
a light creamy pink

#27 secret red
this color comes with the starter kit, a nice red with a berry undertone

#98 cashmere touch
a very light beige perfect for a nude mood! It looks amazing with golden jewelry and tanned skin!

#81 peachy cindarella
a creamy pinkish peachy orange – with this color you are ready for spring!

#62 surfin USA
a very light greenish babyblue – perfect for summery toenails!

#76 New York grey
this is perfect for the days where you dont feel like wearing a color, its not a very dark grey so it still looks very classy.

and I already have a couple of new colors on my #wishlist ๐Ÿ™‚ like the
#15 mandarinas manarine a rather orangy red
#84 cherry cherry lady a very nice burgundy color
#04 heavens nude a very light whitish nude color

NEW!

Striplac by Alessandro

its a big thing these days to do your nails like a pro at home. I question that and therefore had to try the Starter Kit by Alessandro. You get a red nailpolish, a clear twin base and top, a file, a cleaning pads and the most important UV/LED lamp. I read the manual and then started to do my left hand leaving out the thumb. After cleaning my nails with the cleansing pad, mmmhhmm, they smell like apricot! I start with the clear Twin and let it dry in the lamp for 60 seconds, then I apply the color and again I let it dry in the lamp for 60 seconds. As the last step I again apply the twin polish and I really make sure to cover the tip of my nails. now on to the right hand, which of course is always a bit harder than the left hand.. the same procedure: twincoat on 4 fingers (leave thumb out) dry for 60 seconds, then apply color, let it dry for 60 seconds and then finish with the twin polish and let it dry for 60 seconds. now I do the exact same thing to my thumbnails. Now all my fingernails are painted and I clean the top with the cleansing pad. It looks so nice and the best thing is: IT IS DRY! Wow! I was really amazed!

The product claims to last up to 10 days and I can tell you it lasts even longer on my nails.. ๐Ÿ™‚ I got more colors and tried the product on my friends nails. I will show you all the different colors in another post, stay tuned!

How to remove the nailpolish?
thats a very simple step, you just have to peel it off. I have never had problems to remove the nailpolish but I read that there is a peeloff oil in order to remove the nailpolish.

I have to admit that I really didnt expect such a nice result! It was easy to apply and it last for more than 2 weeks! I can therefore highly recommend this product.

NOTE: some of the nailpolishes tend to pull back, it must sound weird now but if you have tried this and experienced the same you will know what I mean ๐Ÿ™‚ so when this happens try to dry each nail after painting for 10 seconds, like this it will not run back and you can continue to paint the rest and then dry all fingers for another 60 seconds.

stay tuned for my Striplac color demonstration! xx
