Fuchsia Fusion

Nothing says feminine quite like a pink dress; decorate said dress with matching pink jewels and a flowered pattern and you've got yourself a look so girlie you could join The Saturdays. Don't be scared to rock a ladylike ensemble - pretty pinks and pastel palettes have been spotted all over the S/S and A/W14 catwalks so it's a trend that's here to stay. If baby pink is a little too soft for your style and causes too many 90's Baby Spice flashbacks - inject some fuchsia into your wardrobe. This Miss Selfridge dress is the perfect way to wear the trend if the the thought of walking around head to toe in pink brings you out in a sweat. The darker shade means you can look womanly but will still be taken seriously at work or in the class room. The grey background means you can give it a rock chick vibe with some black opaques and killer ankle boots in the colder months, and in the summer you can update the look with bare legs and a pair of over sized sunglasses.

Pretty In Pink Polish

Hello beauty addicts!

 Barry M Instant Effects Crackle Nail Polish (Pink)

 Rimmel London 60 Seconds (640 Twinkle)

Barry M nail crackle is a wonder product for those who want an artistic effect on their nails but don't have a lot of time at their disposal. The paint might initially shock you as it has quite a chalky feel to it and brushes on in an almost lumpy fashion but it separates with in seconds and a funky pattern will make an appearance. The pink colouring isn't for the shy as it's incredibly vibrant - brilliant for rocking the summer '12 neon trend! The polish dries in moments so it's perfect for lunch break nail touch ups. 

As a base coat, Rimmel London's 60 seconds nail polish in 'Twinkle' looks stunning against the bright crackle. The polish dries a little slower than promised but it doesn't chip for days so it's well worth the wait. The polish glides over the nail and reveals a subtle lilac shimmer - very summery! The pastel colour is not very striking but with one layer of nail crackle the polish instantly pops! The varnishes are fairly similar colours with a strong brightness contrast so the over all look is reminiscent of camouflage - for the fashion army. Obviously.
