Much like fingerprints, nail shapes and sizes are also unique to the individual. You may find similarities between your nails and those of a parent or sibling, but fingernails come in many shapes and sizes.

If you’ve ever looked at a friend’s manicure, or shorter, wider or narrower you may notice that hers does not look identical to yours. Why is that? Well, for starters, your nail bed may be longer than your friend’s nail bed. The nail bed is the part of your skin where the actual nail rests.

Your nail bed may also differ from your mother’s, your sister’s, your cousin’s, as well as from complete strangers. This is because nail beds come in different shapes suited to the anatomy of the individual.

The different nail beds are:

Nail Bed Shape - Best Nail Shape
Short and wide nail bed - Square nails with rounded edges

Long and big nail bed - Square nails with a rounded edge

Narrow and long oval nail bed - Square nails with a sharp edge

Oval nail bed - Lucky you!

When the nails are crooked and have different shapes, a square nail shape is best

Did you know that different skin tones reflect the same nail polish shades differently? In other words, certain nail polish colours may look better on you, or your friend, lot of yellow in their skin.

If one has brown tones, she can wear almost anything, but most of the sheers will look whiter and brighter, so be careful if that's not the look you are shooting for.

The wider and shorter the nail bed is, the less attractive dark colours will look.
depending on the tone of your skin,

If you don’t already know the tone of your skin, you can find out by simply consulting a beautician or your own stylist.

If a person has red tone to her complexion, reds don't always look good, but if you must, make sure it is blue-red, not an orange-red, If one has yellow tones, beige will look yellow. Pinks are nice for people with a

The following tips will help you achieve sexy looking lips with the right lipstick colour

Apply emollient balm before putting the colour. This is will hydrate your lips and make an even tone.

Use a neutral colour pencil to trace around the perimeter of your lips with short and light strokes. After it’s done you can use desired colour pencil you want to fill in your entire mouth.

To increase the size of your lips use a matching gloss or high shine lipstick. Apply the gloss or lipstick with a lip brush to make sure that colour is evenly distributed.

To prevent bleeding dab a translucent powder around the edges of your lips, In choosing your lipstick, choose the right shades of lipstick either warm or cool that will look good with your skin.

Valentine’s Day should be a special day for everyone. It does not matter if you don’t have a Valentine. Everyone can take the opportunity to use this day for a meaningful and symbolic act.

Now, at seasons like this, ladies tend to be confused about what to wear, but really you don’t need to buy anything new, you can just mix and match something from your closet and you’ll find that perfect outfit.

Second, make sure it’s flirty and feminine; there is nothing more enticing than a well put-together feminine outfit.

But before you choose an outfit, you must consider four things:

Where you are going, what you will be doing, the weather and lastly your comfort.

Considering these things is important because being improperly dressed is embarrassing. You do not want to show up to a nice candle-lit dinner in the wrong outfit, You want to make sure you are comfortable and confident with the outfit you choose, because it might be easy for your date to be able to tell that you are uncomfortable, especially when you make that “special face” when your shirt starts to feel as if you have on itching powder.

What you are wearing is one of the first things your date will notice, so I would advise you to make your outfit decisions wisely.

For your make up, the eyes, lips and cheek warrant the most attention.

A sexy red Corset gown with Silver Peep toe pumps and silver dangle earrings accompanied with a red clutch bag would make a nice combination for a valentine dinner.

If you’re just having a relaxing Valentine’s Day outing, opt for a fun, chic outfit that he’ll be all over. Incorporate feminine pieces such as a ruffled skirt, paired with a simple top and a pair of flats or wedges

If you’re going out for a night of intense dancing, think hot and exotic. Pair up your favorite jeans or skirt with a lightweight, right camisole that fits you perfectly. Don’t forget your favorite stilettos to top it off, If you’re feeling bold and sexy and trying to catch that special someone, show some skin in a tight, sexy one-shoulder dress that celebrities are often seen wearing on the red carpet.

If this is a movie date, I would suggest wearing a pair of sexy jeans paired with a satin, ruffled top. There is nothing more feminine and delicate than a satin top.

For men, dress semi-formal with a well fitted blazer but don’t over do it with a collared shirt and tie. Dressing in all dark colours is a hot look and will give you a mysterious allure. A monochromatic outfit also gives the illusion of being taller and thinner. Substituting black with charcoal grey is good alternative. Adding some accessories works well too, such as a metal watch or a simple belt with a silver buckle,

Harmattan is the dry and dusty West African trade wind that blows South from Sahara into the gulf of Guinea at intermittent strengths between the end of November and the middle of March.

Though it’s not so cold presently in Lagos, the long forgotten season of dust has returned. While people in Port Harcourt and other southern states may be enjoying a relative humid condition at this time of the year, people in the far North are almost clamoring that it should go, as they contend with cracked lips, or dusty skins and leaking nostrils.

Due to the dryness and harshness of the harmattan weather, you should be mindful of what you wear and also pay more attention to your skin to avoid cracking a skin.

The skin can be kept healthy by topical application of oily creams and weather-friendly dressing. This is perhaps the best time to explore the cultural advantage of wearing ‘Etibo’ (South-South traditional attire) and suits, and other thick fabrics like wool, and cotton as it pleases one to keep warm.

Covered shoes and boots are recommended for your footwear, as this would also keep your foot warm. Sandals are not really advisable for this season because of dust. To avoid cracking, always ensure you constantly apply lip gloss on your lips. Your eyes also needs to be protected, since the eyes are directly exposed to the harsh weather especially the dust particles carried by the wind, so to reduce exposure to dust, protective spectacles are advocated. Also at night, you should sleep under layers of clothing to keep you warm with your doors and windows closed
