My beauty pick of the week features my latest summer Essie Nail Polish, Pink Diamonds. A very pretty sparkly pink shade, in keeping with my pink theme for Breast Cancer Awareness! The colour is a very girly-girl pink, reminiscent of cotton candy and although the pearly frosted effect, is not always my favourite I simply love the gorgeous pinkness of it all!
Essie is available from DisChem and all major pharmacies and retails for approximately R99.
As you may have guessed by now I have a bit of a shoe fetish but it can be quite an expensive hobbie to have. As with the rest of my wardrobe, my general rule as far as shoe buying goes is that I can justify spending a bit extra on classic pieces and buying good quality brands but fashion is a different story! Fashions change so quickly and colours come and go, so when I buy fashionable shoes I tend to look for the less expensive pairs that I wont mind getting ride of next season, if they are no longer the “in-thing”.
I recently found these gorgeous aqua, über high heels, from Rage, they are bang on trend colour-wise as well. I must admit they are very high and I certainly will not be running anywhere in them, so these will be reserved for the evenings, when all the walking I will be doing is from the car to my table in the restaurant!
I got a bit carried away with the photographs but they are so pretty! They look amazing with white jeans and the punch of red from my pedi complements the aqua beautifully. The colour on my toes is Silken Cord by Essie, also a perfect colour for summer.

My beauty pick of the week this week is my latest nail polish purchase, a very pretty Essie shade called “Lady Like”. Lady Like is an elegant soft mauve and is perfect for all seasons, it looks amazing with strong bright colours, like magenta and teal which are trending this winter, as well as with summery whites or natural colours. It is a wonderfully feminine colour and a bit of a change from the bolder colours that I have been wearing on my nails lately.

My beauty pick of the week is Essie’s Mint Candy Apple nail polish, I am loving this gorgeous, dreamy colour. Even though winter is looming I am still craving the pastel shades that have been so popular throughout spring and summer in SA. This colour looks great on your fingers and toes. It looks awesome with jeans and looks super hot with white.
