Kardashians for Dorothy Perkins


Last saturday the famous Kardashian sisters Khloe, Kim and Kourtney launched their new fashion line for the British fashion label Dorothy Perkins in London. The best part: Dressing like the it-girls themselves doesn't have to be super expensive! Purses and accessories cost around 25 pounds; dresses, skirts, bags, blazers, blouses, tops (and a lot more!) vary from 25 to 75 pounds. Sassy leopard prints, satin tops and lace details characterize the collection and are -in my opinion- exactly what I expected from the three fashionistas! One of the highlights of the collection launch in London was most definitely the presentation of the clothing line by about 20 Kardashian look-alikes. No surprise that once again the three sisters managed to take the cake - well done girls!

Ombre/Dip Dye Nails

Ombre nails are one of the latest fashion trends when it comes to nail art. It's a perfect match to any outfit because it can be done with more decent as well as brighter colours. For today's post I used Essie 'Off the Shoulder' (223A), 'Bikini so teeny' (219A) and a KIKO basecoat/topcoat. It takes a little time at first, but as soon as you figure out the technique, it gets easier and easier. All you need besides the colors of your choice is a makeup sponge (or sponge of any kind), Q-Tips and nail polish remover

Here are the steps:

1. Apply basecoat

2. Apply the lighter color of the two colors you chose for the dip dye and let it dry
3. Take the thinner side of the sponge, apply lines of both colors and press on each of your nails (you may do that 2-3 times on each nail to get the desired effect)

  


4. Remove nail polish around your nails (there's almost no way to get it done without having nail polish on your fingers)


5. When the color is completely dry, apply topcoat

 


And of course you can use more than two colours! Have fun trying it! -xoxo
