Remember the easy peel off pink Tinkerbell nail polish when you were younger? I do. It was then that my love for nail colour started, however I've never been good at painting my own nails. The left hand is fine, then get to the right and it's one splodgy mess. I was introduced to Sherbet Angel (a boutique salon on 4th Ave Parkhurst) almost a year ago by the beautiful ladies, Kirsty and Kerryn, from Actorvate Relations. I've recently started dabbling in nail art, an Angel speciality. Little did I know that local and international celebs are loving it too (I mean, how bang on trend am I?)

Proving there’s more to nail art than just simply glitter and rhinestones, Nicole Richie and Katy Perry have been pushing the boundaries with coloured tips, Miley Cyrus has been going for block-colour points, and Rihanna and Anne Hathaway have been experimenting with full-on pictures, from butterflies to dollar signs.

If out-there nail art ideas aren't for you, go for a pretty look like Miranda Kerr's cute polka dots or Mollie King's sparkly tips.
