hiya all
its good to be back from hols , ive missed you lot
i thought id share with you all, a job i did on behalf of team creative last night
jodie kidd(as in super model!) organised a charity event in aid of the british red cross & children with aids.
the day started with a polo match, followed by a luxurious 5-course feast & an auction of donated prizes which included a 14 day stay for 4 people on richard bransons private necker island with 1st class flights!! :shock:
they raised £65,000 in all !
then came a fashion show as good as ive seen at london fashion week.
there were 10 models in all plus 2 guests.
when i arrived 2hrs early, i expected to sit around waiting for the models to arrive,however most of them were already there. so i went to speak to the head make-up artist to find out what the look was to be.
much to my delight he said "something dark & funky"(its not unusual to arrive with full kit like an expectant puppy, to be told "french polish will do") :?
so, creative juices flowing(but held in check by reality of time & probability that lots of models chew their nails :? ),i decided to use voodoo(high gloss black), with a single diamante almost touching the cutile area.
because i had the luxury of more time than usual, i was a bit more thorough with the prep.
this was great as i was painting with black, & you can imagine what havoc untidy cuticles wouldve had with that
everything was going swell when (as they usually do) someone changed their mind & suddenly i now had 12 pairs of toes to do :shock: !
needless to say the toes werent given the pampering that the nails had, & i only applied a diamante on the big toe!
the models were lovely, as they usually are, & everyone loved my nails(as in on my hands!, i will get ruthie to help me post a piccie)
one of the guest models was chloe, who has just landed the lead roll in the new carry-on film "carry-on london".
she has a lot of p.r to do in sept. & she has asked me to do her nails like mine for her !
the bbc were there doing a documentary, so keep your eyes peeled.
the whole evening was a great success, & there were lots of celebs. no doubt hello & o.k mags will cover it.
as my families eyes start to glaze over after so long :shock: ! i thought you guys would appreciate how exciting it is to be involved in something like this.
also its good for you to know that creative nail design are actively involved in all the hottest, happening things that are going on.
sorry it was so long, but believe me it couldve been a whole lot longer!
