Hold on nail fans, Avon Cosmetics has a new range of MAGIC Effects nail polishes called MAGIC Effects “Liquid Sequin”. The name recalls opulence, elegance and sparkle: to me, it’s like dressing up your nails with tiny sequined party garments. This new nail lacquer line consists of 4 shades: Dazzle, Glimmer, Glitterati and Sequin; but, for our surprise, each nail polish differs in the result and has something particular in its formula and glitter mixture.

My Custom Nail Polish for Julep: Blue Grotto
I’ve never wondered how the nail polish of my dream would look like, I usually pick up and buy what I like the most without further imagination exercise (is that laziness?).

I had a bare idea: my nail polish had to recall pleasant memories and sensations, so what’s better than a dreamlike destination for these holidays? This summer is going to be freaking hot and for all those people who can’t enjoy a real break, I imagined a refreshing shade: blue, that’s…
