The colour craze has finally caught onto the digits.

I am totally excited by all the nail colours that I’ve been receiving lately. And one particular colour that caught the eyes of several beauty journos including myself, is OPI Nail Lacquer in Feelin’ Hot-Hot-Hot from the South Beach Collection. The pink is perfect for all year round – anytime you want to feel cheery and pretty.

For the longest time, I only wear dark shades like Chanel Nail Colour in Blue Satin, OPI Nail Lacquer in Mrs. O’Leary’s BBQ and Russian Navy on my toes because honestly, dark toes don’t look as goth as when they are on the fingers. But lately, I’ve decided to give dark nails a rest – besides, they can stain the nails if you wear them for a long time without any care in between. I started to venture into brights! As you can see here in the photos, I was so eager to try every colour possible I had them on my fingers and toes. I got compliments wherever I went – from clients, colleagues, friends, even my personal trainer – what’s more amazing was that I was able to do my own nail art!

Anyway, watch out for more exciting nail collections in Fall from OPI – Bright Pair Collection and M.A.C’s collaboration with a NY based nail artist. One advice though, you must be prepared to embrace colours and not be afraid to explore and experiment, as I did by reversing the colours on both my hands. But if you’d rather someone else do it for you, then you may want to catch Ms Kana Higashida from Japan. Simply purchase $100-worth of Ettusais products from June 1-10 at Isetan Orchard and you’ll be entitled to a full manicure service.
