Hello my dear readership,

a close look on the trend-color pastel-yellow. The always-two-different nail-art as well works with two different tooling – shiny and matte. See it here.

“Beauty comes from the inside” – this sentence probably divides the society into two: those who see the character behind the cover and the other ones who still would not mind some to work on themselves. You can summarize two things out of this: firstly that one does not exclude the other and the second thing is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whatever it is in the end it is neither a matter of your personality nor a matter of how much effort you put in yourself. The key element is rather the attitude you carry to the outside.

I remember the model class I had been visiting ten years ago. Regardless from how I liked it in the end there is a sentence I will never forget from the coach: “You will see how beautiful life is if you walk through it smiling all along your whole surroundings and your fellows.”, yes we had sessions training how to smile: smiling into the mirror, smiling with our eyes closed thinking of something wonderful, just smiling. I think this was the time when I realize that fashion-industry in fact changed and hit on a revolution with smiling models. Looking grumpy is so yesterday… and even when my husband adopted my blog as photographer he always asked me to smile thinking how much more beautiful I am in those photos even though I think of it differently sometimes.

But in fact all the people that I catch myself being impressed by in a blasting way are actually smiling-faces. More than forming a smile with their lips they are smiling with their wonderful eyes. Man, what a radiance this is. It does not matter if they have dark hair, a lot of make-up, wear the most expensive clothes… they are shining brighter than the midday sun and transmit this inside out. It is the energy they are bearing making everyone feel welcome at them and hugged in the most healing way. Certainly the secret of real beauty lies in there.

The nail-do at Thanh Nails has somehow become a routine no matter where the main nail-stylist is located and no matter what has been in between. You make-up a date via WhatsApp, you have no shyness to feel yourself home and they know what you want meanwhile. The top comes with the talks you get you have which makes time pass even faster according to the wording “oh, is it already over?”. What I like most however is the studio being empty as it is during the noons (especially during the week). That gave the whole atmosphere a special kind of calmness and relaxation. I mostly went out when my daughter was sleeping. You already get to figure out a routine of typical sleeping periods to go out for yourself have a walk (especially under the sun), have a treatment and regenerate for your newborn baby. You do not necessarily need the widest variety of colors in the nail studio to actually have some exciting nail-do. Mixing different tooling can have an as strong effect here. All you need to do is having a shiny contrast to a matte nail-polish. Check out a style with the trend color here.
