LED Everything

DETAILS    Lamp: Orly LED Lamp Smart Lamp   -   Gel Polish: Sally Hansen Gel Polish Nail Color -        *Commander in Chic*  -   Accent Nail:  Essie Lux Effects *Set in Stones*    Shoes: Christian Dior   LED is the leading light source option with lower energy consumption, smaller sizing and a longer lifetime. It is being used in many areas of our lives from electronics to household.  I  have wanted to try out an at home LED gel nail system for a while. After many visits to salons for shellac / gel nails, I have decided to try out this system to see if it is comparable to salon quality manicures that usually last around two weeks.

   Photographer: Joeri Geentjens  -  Model: Aleida Broenink (Numa Models)   Hair&MUA: Lyana Gibert ( The Art of Beauty)  Styling&Art Direction: Elena Harrison (Style Concept) From Peplums to Louboutin's we created an ultra feminine, Parisian style shoot.  We couldn't resist shooting at this intricate wrought iron gate we stumbled upon.  The gorgeous iron detailing was the perfect element to encompass Parisian style.  My favourite look from this shoot is the Chanel inspired boucle shorts, mixed with quilted chevron and sheer fabrics. The round shades and pearl necklace draped across the textured fabrics creates a classic yet contemporary look. Sexy, sky high stilettos by french house YSL finish off the look. G orgeous winged eye liner and bright, bold lips top it all off. Très chic, très hip, très sexy
