Guest Blog: Reddy to party by BritishBeautyBlogger

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 | Fashion, Hot Topics, Nails

One of the best things about winter’s forthcoming passion for raging reds is that at last we can veer away from freaky acid hues and insipid summer neutrals. There’s nothing more glamorous than perfectly manicured scarlet nails.

While nail trends have indicated a squared tip and a blunted look, I think to go all out rouge needs gorgeous ovals - long or short. Like Clara Bow lips, pillar box nails are the ideal little black dress accessory; it hardly needs another thing to create simple but deeply elegant style.

I’m loving the current crop of variations on the theme, from Leighton Denny’s Caught Red Handed, a fierce, blood shade,  OPI’s fiery, sparkling Dear Santa through to ButterLondon’s shimmeringly vampish Knees Up.

Don’t forget that the most sophisticated nails are nothing without soft and supple hands; ramp up the hydration with a good hand cream and drench your cuticles in nourishing oils to let your fingers do the talking all the way through party season.

I have a grey OPI shade on today which I like, but red would be wonderful. Would it work for day to day business though? Although I happily wear Rouge Noir at work.

I’m also a fan of Leighton Denny’s Viva La Diva - it’s classic…

I love reds all year round. They just make me feel sexy and polished! I wore red toes when I was pregnant so I would get to look at my pretty toes… while I could! Lately I’m into the deeper reds those deep hues feel warm and look beautiful!!

I love OPI’s Malaga Wine and Bastille my Heart. They are perfect reds that work with everything.
For cuticles I found that Burt’s Bees Lemon Cuticle Cream is da bomb!
Looking forward to your further posts.
