Latest & Greatest – Hair, nails and body

Glow from top-to-toe this week with our guide to the latest in hair, nail and body beauty. From a new body moisturiser worthy of those red-carpet occasions to the latest trend in statement winter nails, you’ll find everything you need to shine no matter what the occasion.

Red Carpet Kolour All-Over Body Glow (RRP $69.95):

Trying to catch the eye of that special guy? Want some pampering for a girls’ night out? Maybe you’re just looking to put a spring back in your step. No matter what the reason or occasion, Red Carpet Kolour (RCK) Body Glow will have you looking your glowing best. The all over body lotion is the latest beauty secret to help maintain radiance from head to toe. Containing a light coloured pigment and available in three blended shades (light, medium or tan), the lotion evens the skin tone and covers blemishes. Incorporating vitamins A, C and K alongside Aloe Vera and Sweet Almond Oil, this indulgent product will leave your skin nourished, moisturised and sexy smooth.

RCK has already become a favourite with Hollywood stars. ‘I have Joanna Schlip [celebrity makeup artist] use RCK Body Glow on my body for every photoshoot and red carpet appearance,’ says world-famour actress, Christina Applegate. ‘It gives my skin a healthy glow, photographs beautifully and looks incredible in person. It’s the perfect compliment for every red carpet gown as well as my favourite casual sundress.’

David Babaii’s Poker-Straight Products:

With your body well and truly moisturised, it’s time to tame those locks into silky, sexy tresses to highlight and complement your head-to-toe glow. With David Babaii’s latest frizz-busting hair care range, Poker Straight, your hair will remain agreeable, smooth and revitalised no matter what the weather or humidity.

Contained in the range, you will find:

The balm uses moringa oil to hydrate, phytenso (soy complex) to smooth and sunflower seed oil and apple stem cell extract to nourish and rejuvenate hair health.
• David Babaii Polished Crème Serum (RRP $24.50): An exotic blend of 10 natural ingredients, including nettle, orchid, oat, cucumber and white ginger, the Polished Crème Serum works to nourish, strengthen and protect your tresses. A styling product that boosts hydration, improves softness and enhances hair health, it seems this product exhibits everything necessary for healthy hair and effective styling.

ORLY nail colour:

The perfect accessory to enrich any outfit, nail colour can add sparkle, sophistication or a touch of sexiness to any occasion. ORLY has two new enticing ranges ready to hit the shelves over the next two months.

The Secret Society Collection (RRP $18.95 each): The Secret Society Collection, which hits shelves in July, encapsulates ‘the dramatic, the aristocratic and the captivatingly lavish’. Dark, sparkling tones of bold red, midnight blue and deep charcoal, these shades are glamorous and will add gravity and allure to a little black dress or a sexy red frock. ORLY Australia Ambassador and celebrity manicurists Fiona Hay recommends using the ‘half moon effect’, combining Risque Encounter, a strong red crème, with What’s The Pasword – a burnt orange with gold shimmer.

To achieve this look, simply apply two coats of Risque Encounter after your basecoat and then carefully apply What’s The Password to the base of the nail in a half moon shape – ORLA offers half moon guide stickers to assist in this.
