Meadham Kirchhoff's Spring/Summer 2012 collection was a loveably barmy explosion of kitsch. The models resembled dolls as they shuffled in their flatforms down the catwalk in candy colours, frou frou frills and cartoon prints. The collection is almost sickly in its unashamed girliness and I adore it. Can I afford any of it? Of course not. Well, maybe this kitty tee if I gave up Nando's for a while...
So I was thrilled to learn that they were teaming up with Nail Rock to launch a collection of nail wraps inspired by their SS/12 collection exclusively for Topshop. The array of cartoon illustrations (including one suspiciously naughty design..) all come in one pack and are due to launch in the middle of February, retailing at £8.

I tried the striped Nail Rock wraps that came in a Glossybox I was sent as a sample a while ago and despite my reservations, I actually thought they were incredible! They were easy to apply (as long as you follow instructions to the letter), and lasted forever (around 2 weeks if we're being literal, here) without the need for a topcoat or anything! I only wear a couple of wraps at a time as 'statement nails' so I can make the pack last longer.
I cannot wait to add these adorable wraps to my collection. Fingernails crossed they launch in time for LFW so my hands can look on-trend even if the rest of me doesn't!
Are you a fan of Nail Rock wraps? What do you make of the Meadham Kirchhoff ones?

Love nail art, not sure I'd wear a vagina on my nails though... Just sayin' !
ReplyDeleteI think these are so adorable! Not too sure about the 3rd one on the second row though haha. I think I'll pick these up when they come out. If not I might try the easier ones myself :) x
ReplyDeleteYeah good idea, I want to see a vagina nails tutorial please! Haha! :|
DeleteIts going to be my next one.. haha x
DeleteI've never tried nail wraps but have heard okay things about them! I don't mind painting my own nails though, hehe. The collection is cute!

ReplyDeletexx
No, I don't buy Vogue!
DeleteThose strips are awesome!
ReplyDeletegreat post!
ReplyDeletei thought i had already missed these babies ... glad to hear their coming out soon. Im deffinately going to try grab hold of a pair, and even grow my nails for them, there too kitsch not to be had.
I tried applying some of the nail wraps doing a manicure for a friend but found them a bit uneasy to use, maybe you could do one of your lovely video posts to help us beauty neanderthals out?
on the other hand i did use violent lips which are similar of concept and they worked a treat !
That's so strange, I tried Violent Lips and couldn't get it right! We need to swap intel! ;) Will certainly consider doing a YT tutorial on nail wraps. Thanks for commenting! x
Deleteah these are all so cute, i like using foils, it means i can be lazy with nailcare for a few days at least! although i'm completely failing to get my head around why they've included that particular design, haha x
ReplyDeletethat is an incredible t-shirt isn't it! shame about the price tag, think i'll just have to settle for the H! Henry Holland one from Debenhams that will be up on the website shortly- cat in a headscarf and glasses! keep a look out for her :)
ReplyDeletex
I think I saw that in a mag! Gotta love a cat t-shirt :)
DeleteHahahaha I didn't even notice the sneaky vagina on those nail wraps until I read the comments. I probably would have put them on completely oblivious (if I could ever stop biting my nails).

ReplyDeletee x

I saw these the other day, I can't wait to try them :) I love this design, it reminds me of these knicker I had as a child, they had prints like this on the front. They are so cute and pretty, oh and don't get me started on Meadham Kirchhoff the man's a fucking legend putting fun back in fashion! xx
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous! The ones with the little heart prints caught my eye the most I think! I'll definitely be adding this to my little collection as well! :D:D xo
ReplyDeleteI need these in my life, pronto! I keep seeing them online/magazines etc but yet to see them in person.
ReplyDeletexoxo
These are really cool, a great way to add a bit of Meadham Kirchoff to our skint lives! I've never tried nail wraps but I think I will on your recommendation, using them as a statement nail is definitely a good idea.
ReplyDeleteHaha wow I love them with the exception of the...um Vagina!
ReplyDeletexx
These are a tiny bit kitsch for me but I love the idea - how do nail wraps fair on fake nails??
ReplyDeleteDebs x
What I have taken from these comments is....vagina vagina vagina....& now I can't remember what is actually being discussed???
ReplyDeleteOh yeah...nails.....
VAGINA!!! x
OMG, that is amazing. The clothing collection is so bloody fun and cute too. Love it.

Omg they are soooo cute! :) what a find! xo
ReplyDeleteAhh how cute! Would be perfect for valentines day too :)
ReplyDeleteI think these r awesome, they remind me of the old school riot Grrl movement and kinderwhore fashion that came with it. Nail wraps as a concept are a pretty awesome way of doing prints, but like u say u must follow instructions to the t! A tutorial would b great :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute I love it - thing my friend would be great in this look - will get her to check it out. Have you seen the floaty tops at http://www.bluemojito.co.uk/
