Sealed with a kiss..

We all love a little charm and so we're now stocking the SWAK X charms range. They include hearts, peace signs, feathers and our current favourite a map of Africa. Suspended from a silk chord they're feminine and pretty and appropriate for all ages.

The necklaces are packaged in a box with an uplifting quote on the back. If you prefer you can also wrap them around your wrist and wear them as a bracelet.

SWAK X donates a percentage of its annual profits to the Tomorrow Trust, a non-profit organisation that educates students affected by HIV and Aids.

Prices start at R200.

It's Ayoba time!

Nothing to do with nails or Polish but doesn't this MTN advert make you excited and happy to be in South Africa! We think we may need to close early on Friday...

We've been spotted!

The new Hip City Guide for 2010 is now available online. A great guide to what's hot in cities around the country.

The print edition will be included as a free supplement with the Elle Decoration & Elle magazine June editions.

Hope you find lots of fab new places and a few old favourites..

Enjoy

We've come to love the products we use in Polish and are always happy when others agree. Instyle UK recently named their 100 Best Beauty Buys. The guide's panel of 178 of the UK's top make-up artists, hairdressers, skincare gurus and nail technicians tried, tested and voted for their favourite products.

Included in the Hands, Feet and Nails category:


Best Top Coat - Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat
















Best Nail Polish Range - OPI























We use both..

We're back..

Last year when I started our blog I naively thought it would be easy to add to my daily work and wouldn't take much time at all.

Oh how wrong I was! Taking on the management of Park Cafe and not having Lex around for a few months resulted in very little free time and sadly it was the blog that fell off the to-do list.

But we're back with a vengeance and promise we're going to look further than our little world at the Parks to those of you out there that may not be such regular visitors. Just like the wonderful Aspasia Karras mentions in her editorial for Marie Claire June issue, it's very easy for life to become parochial. She also credits Polish's weekly manicures with sorting out her gnawed cuticles and Ziphora, Cleo and Sunshine (3 of our wonderful therapists) for providing her with some insight to Soweto and extending her vocabulary.

Be sure to check out the rest of the June issue and their fabulous blog.

So be sure to continue to check out our blog.

We promise not to be scarce.

Havaianas in stock..

Lauren Conrad Look-A-Like by Vanessa ♥ Requests Open featuring Theory

`love by nnitta featuring Havaianas flip flops


We LOVE Havaianas! They are super practical, yet can look so chic. Don't you just love how a slim fit pair looks with jeans and a simple blazer? We've got a whole lot in store - we've stuck to the slim fit in metallics and now also have the Fit style as seen in these great combinations from Polyvore.

They retail from R220 to R250.

Aren't you simply dying for summer?!!

We are
