Wah Nails

For ages now I've been hearing  about Wah Nails. It's popped up in the glossies, on blogs and even a pop-up store in Topshop. So, when gazing out of the bus window on my way to Dalston market, I saw this:

I got really excited.

Later we all went in and it was fantastic. Quirky, intricate and incredibly detailed works of art on each nail with as much bling (nail gems) as one could desire. [Excuse my photos]

My personal favourites were the Diet Coke bottles, the flags (useful for the World Cup?) and the £90 gold studded nails. I think I might go back and get Chelsea lions on my nails if they win a domestic double.

First Post with a smidgen of Johnny Depp

Let me start off with simultaneous annoyance and joy that, although I lost an hour of sleep last night, SPRING AND SUMMER IS FINALLY COMING! Something to look forward to instead of all this greyness. Speaking of doom/gloom and dullness, I finally watched Edward Scissorhands with my sister yesterday. Yes, Yes I know... waaayyyy overdue- I couldn't believe how old the film was; older than ME! Anyway what struck me first was that it wasn't nearly as scary as I though it would be (how young does JD look in it?!). Secondly and more importantly how ON TREND the film was!

The whole Goth thing going on-black clothing, the leather and silver buckles around. Even the rips, holes and slashes the scissors would probably make. The Makeup- pale skin, black hair, pre-empts the whole vampire trend by about 20 years.

On the flip side- the pastel coloured planet with the aliens (women) who wear a single colour head to toe he lives on is another major trend- a Stone Age Wisteria Lane.

I love how things like this help emphasis the cycle that it fashion.
