Summer Swim & Summer Clogs

I just came back from a wonderful week in Croatia. If you want to follow up on our trip check out our personal blog: Liv+Dave= Many of you were asking me after tweeting and posting the photo above, where I got the gorgeous swimsuit and cute clogs from. So I decided to share it here with you as well. The fabulous swimsuit is from our new sponsor For Luna, a fantastic online boutique for retro-swimwear. The super comfy and cute clogs are from the best online store for clogs, our new Sponsor Lotta from Stockholm, nice people that sell extra nice clogs.

Liv as wedding guest

Via My-Wardrobe.com this dress is by Acne, shoes by Sam Edelman

In the unlikely event of Liv attending Dave's brothers wedding in Australia in August this is what I would wear. With smoky eyes and nude lips. Sadly I am stuck with loads of work in London and couldn't get the time off, so he will have to go on his own. I can only dream- If I were going to attend, let's say my work for August will be getting cancelled and I will be able to take holidays, at the same time I will be able to get a free flight and I will have only 1 day to get my outfit together online and uhm, while we are at it, I wouldn't have to pay for my outfit either.... ...Then I would prob. wear the outfit above. All found at My-Wardrobe.com

I would love to make it happen. Weddings are so magical. I only need to find the time to go. The fabulous evening dress I can do myself.

bio sculpture nails part II

3 weeks later, my nails have been growing really fast, so that I can see now a gap between the gel and my natural nails. The colour is still brilliant and shiny and didn't chip at all. Fascinating. I really liked having my nails done without worrying for weeks, and would definitely recommend this to any brides. Today I soaked the gel off, and it's true, my nails underneath are healthy and strong and not damaged at all. For now I will only wear a clear base coat and will try to keep my nails in this good condition.

spoilt with choice-or what's your favorite colour?

As professional make up artist, I really have to look after my nails, since I am touching peoples faces all the time. But I am not a fan of thick tacky plastic nails or smelly toxic nail salons either. My research for a solution lead my to Bio Sculpture and after all great things I read about it really wanted to try it and see for myself and tell you about my experience. So this week I had a Bio Sculpture nail treatment done! Whoop. And it looks fantastic.

So why is Bio Sculpture different then? Bio Sculpture is is a non-chip nail treatment that can be applied to any nail type, much like a regular nail polish. The gel-like substance is formulated without any toxic chemicals (meaning it’s free from acrylic, formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP), and is designed to act as a protective layer to your own nails, treating and improving the overall health of your nails while simultaneously providing a smudge- and chip-free nail finish. Yes that's right, non toxic, non tacky, chip free, strong nails for about 4 weeks. I went to the U.K. head office in Hertfordshire, where Haley their professional nail technician worked magic on my nails. With about 140 colours to choose from (they do french as well), I was spoilt with choice. She just got married herself and explained that Bio Sculpture is great for brides, because they can have their nails done a week before the wedding and will still have great chip free nails through their honeymoon. I choose a bright coral pink that I am loving but I can apply a different colour Bio Sculpture nail varnish on top any time. "What's your favorite colour?" asked René who is managing the whole head office. She surprised me with a few more purple and orange nail varnishes, so that I can change my colour. So far I am really impressed with the result and I will keep you up to date, how it wears and lasts now.
