lilac

After having black and blonde hair for 3 years and putting different toners in my hair to cancel out the yellow, I finally decided to put lilac in my hair, but I wanted a grey washed out look so I mixed the dye with conditioner before applying it to my hair.

Black tips with lavender moons to match my hair.

Aside from being a nice added condiment to your food, or a way to describe the condition of your new manicure, mint is also a very refreshing colour this season!

Tangerine Tango

Hello Color lovers!  it only feels appropriate to kick start the first post of 2012 by announcing Pantones Color of the year: Tangerine  Tango.

“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it. Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”

Expect to see this beaming colour on clothing racks this season, but if the shade is too citrusy for you, you can always brighten up your look with an orange lip or blush, and team it up with some tangy nail polish.
