Summer Nails

Nails are the easiest way to express yourself and keep up with the trends – when you don’t have the time or money to buy into trends like leopard print that can be done with your nails for no cost.  Apart from nudes like Estée Lauder‘s So Vain, this summer I’ll be sporting some of my favourite trends from blue, the hottest colour this season to fun and vibrant corals.

Jet Set Beauty | Nadya Hasan

DSC 0432 507x765 Jet Set Beauty | Nadya HasanMy favourite style blogger ever is Nadya Hassan of The Fierce Diaries - her style is just impeccable and I always find myself lusting after whatever she’s sporting be it a a Poca & Poca jumpsuit, Fyunka bag or Valentino heels. She is my ultimate style crush and you’ll see why once you have a look at her blog!

Nadya lives in Dubai but is always jetting off to the hottest destinations, most recently Paris where she took some amazing photos which she shared on Instagram that had me wanting to run to St Pancras International to jump on the next Eurostar. I recently talked to Nadya to tell us about her favourite places to be in Dubai, beauty destinations and panda eyes!

What’s your in-flight beauty routine like? I actually don’t have one, but minimal makeup so that I don’t leave the plane looking like a panda! icon biggrin Jet Set Beauty | Nadya Hasan

Tips for looking glam after a flight? Just run into the restroom and check if your hair is OK and you have a fresh face.

I love Morocco for its hammams and Turkey for the mud baths. Do you have a getaway beauty destination? I love the amount of different beauty products that Paris has. You can find amazing products that you would never have thought of. But Thailand does the best massages and I can only dream of them right now.

Any Dubai based beauty brands you love? I love Huda Beauty Lashes, that would be the only Dubai based beauty product that I have had the pleasure of trying out.

Best place to be in Dubai? I will always find myself in Downtown Burj Khalifa. I just love how lively it always is.

Favourite spa? Talise Spa in Zabeel Seray

You’re on a stranded island, which products would you have with you? My Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery. At least my face would look hydrated and of course Dove lotion.

What are your favourite beauty blogs? It’s Huda Beauty. Love her posts!
