Rimmel London Nail Varnish Review

Passing through the pharmacy whilst doing the weekly shop in Asda I decided to purchase 2 new nail varnishes. Rimmel Pro Super Wear Ultra Shine Top Coat and Rimmel Metal Rush .

I love the grey metallic finish it had. Although in the bottle it looked like it would have more of a two tone green grey which was a bit disappointing when the result was different. However it's still quite nice and great for winter. The Super Wear topcoat has a nice fat 'maxi' brush which helps with a quick application and seemed to have a regular shine look to it. I have had it one for one day and only one nail has started to chip slightly, I think if I applied a thicker topcoat it may last longer.

Bridal Make-Up

The above picture is of my latest bride, who also is my future sister in law! Bridal make-up is one of my favourite things to do, to be part of such a special day in a womans life and to help turn her into the wedding goddess she becomes is such a joy. Gotta love a happy bride!!

Ziad Ghanem at London fashion week.

A couple of days ago I had the pleasure of working within the make-up team headed by Michelle Webb. This was for Ziad Ghanem http://ziadghanem.co.uk/ at Vauxhall Fashion Scout.


The day had started early with a couple of us cutting out transfer tattoos whilst Ziad and his team were busy making sure everything was running smoothly at his divine apartment. We then headed over to the location to find the lovely make-up room which was unfortunately abit on the small side, but worked out well because hair was done in another room.

The team created outstanding work on all the models and everyone looked beautiful. I especially enjoyed doing make-up on Ziads niece, who turned about to be the star of the show with her fierce catwalk presence. Amazing for a ten year old!!

I was extremely happy to be part of such a creative team including the designers, models, make-up artists and hair stylists. Well-done to everyone.

Mamba and Yamanba girls. love them.

Rox was actually AMAZING. The day we did this shoot it was ridiculously cold, to the point where I couldn't feel my feet and my fingers were going numb. The photographer was shaking soo hard he needed someone to help keep him still!! And I was wearing lots of layers, whereas Rox was wearing the thinnest material. These are moments I'm very glad to be behind the camera and not in-front! don't be fooled by the smiles, shes freezing her ass off lol

 The front cover and the above photo are my favourites. She looks amazing. Rox is a really great, super down to earth talented woman, she's not afraid to say what she wants and I respect a woman like that.

I have worked for The Tip before on their VV Brown photoshoot where I also did the make-up. Thanks to
