As far as mornings go, this one’s been a good one for me. Viewing the summer collections of killer nail brand nailsinc, the question is what aren’t they doing? Olympic metallics, magnetic nail art, funked up glitters, a revolutionary new sheer collection, plus (and this is where nail polish addicts might lose it altogether) an app that lets you design
Our final day of shooting today and the sun is quite literally setting on our time in Mexico. The shoots were months in the making but trust us, you’re in for a treat.

Today we have the pleasure of shooting two beauties! Meet Rianne and Vanessa, our models. One from Amsterdam, the other Brazil and both the sweetest girls ever. It’s not always true what they say about model behaviour but we won’t let the M&M’s run out, just in case.

She’s been posing like a true pro all day long in the beating sun and still has the energy to give away her beauty secrets.
Skin: ‘I wash my face in rose water because it calms my skin down and heals it after a day of makeup changes.’

For today’s sun soaked shoot we gave makeup artist Mel Arter the new St Tropez Dark Tanning Mousse to use on model Rianne and even though she’s used every one out there, this one knocked her socks off.
