GO EASY.

Delicate jewellery and minimal nails – a how to.

I’m one of those people who loves the idea of minimalism (in all senses of the word, not just

fashion but the state of mind: less stuff = a clearer mind). I’m also one of those people to

whom it does not come naturally, I look at Ivania’s blog and sigh – how did she strip it back

so much without it becoming boring? I recently discovered Into Mind, a website who’s aim is

to help you become more inimal in daily life, with great tips and even spreadsheets to help

you minimalise you wardrobe, beauty regime, home and everything in between.

My point is: I strive to be minimal (for example I only wear black, white, grey, navy and

denim) and yet there’s something very unattainable about being a minimalist. But I’m still

trying, so do join me on this journey.

What I’ve discovered recently is minimal hands: barely-there jewellery and barely-

there manicures. You might be thinking, surely the most minimal is nothing at all? And

whilst this can be true, having nothing is almost avoiding a style and is not necessarily

minimal. So, at the moment I’m opting for a thin rings and dainty bracelets that can be

seen but don’t shout Look At Me!!

I must admit I had left my nails bare to match my all white outfit, and it was Nella

from Nail Polish Addicts Anonymous who kindly gave me a minimal-maincure with

just a light sparkle on my nails. It’s there, but it’s not there.

It catches your eye by catching the light. The lesson learned here: go easy, don’t ignore
and area, just don’t over-do it.
