#ManicureMonday

Having seen Grazia's new collaboration with NailsInc, I headed to Twitter to read up about it. Whilst plowing through their beauty tips for summer hair and summer wardrobe must-haves, I stumbled across their NailsInc tweet offering a free goody bag if you sent in a picture of your #MondayManicure.

Being a nail varnish fiend (with over 75 nail varnishes, most of which are some shade or other of red or pink) I decided to participate in the hope that I won some NailsInc goodies.

I used Topshop own's 'Daydream' shade 101 as a pastel pink undercoat that is purely gorgeous, with a Leighton Denny reddish-pink tip. On my pinky finger, to add a bit of summer fun I did polka dots as well as a tip, using a wooden toothpick for precision.


Overall, I am very satisfied with the result; I have had compliments from all ages about how playful and adorable my manicure is, so here's hoping that Grazia and NailsInc agree, and send me a wonderful little goody bag to add to my collection!

Celebrating label.m's 10th birthday!

Thanks to the gorgeous team, this year hand-selected from the Stratford salon, I was given a complete hair makeover.

This year was the 10th anniversary of T&G being official sponsors of London Fashion Week, and with the new label.m products on full display (including their new hair perfume) the pop-up salon was buzzing with the sound of hair dryers, gossip and the latest LFW trends. 

Upon entering, we were greeted with a bottle of rose prosecco and seated with a widescreen television displaying all the @toniandguyUK tweets - once we realised this, we were tweeting (if possible) even more than usual, squealing like schoolgirls when we saw our tweets displayed...Our aim was definitely NOT to fill the entire screen with just our tweets...promise!

We were taken for our hair wash and near-orgasmic head massage, then seated and cut, blow-dried, brushed, pampered, supplied more prosecco, oiled, souffled and preened within an inch of our lives - and we loved every single minute of it. I went for a gentle, bouncing curl effect, created by separating the hair into sections and blow-drying with a thin roller brush. The stylist used the label.m Souffle to tame my flyaway frizz, along with Anti-aging Oil on the ends to add moisture and a spritz of the new label.m Hair Perfume to add the the sweet-smelling orange blossom shampoo/conditioner fragrance of my locks.

Lillie, my gorgeous LFW partner-in-crime, opted for a more layered cut, embracing a 50s style textured bob, and using her Ray Ban sunnies as a makeshift headband - stepping out of the salon she looked positively Audrey Hepburn-esque. With the thickness and weight of her hair, the stylist used the Smoothing Cream to allow manageability of the hair, along with copious amounts of the Limited Edition 10 year anniversary label.m Hairspray, to ensure the voluptuous body of Lillie's locks did not falter.

We adored this season's in-salon staff and left feeling relaxed and pampered whilst strutting around Somerset House with our new fabulous hair - Thank you T&G!
