GET ME BODIED.

Don't hate me 'cause I stan.

In line with my obsession with all things Sophy Robson-related, I (re-)present the latest polish offerings from dope cosmetics beast, Illamasqua.

The collection is aptly named 'Body Electrics' and this just reiterates that I really need to get into some online ordering.

VUITTON IS FRENCH

New French by Sophy Robson for Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 - Paris Fashion Week.

I really believed all my prayers had been answered when permanent french acrylic went off the radar years ago - but like all trends we were (SO!) fond to bid farewell once upon a time (boot-leg jeans, clogs, anyone??..) - it seems it's making it's way back.

I can (sort of) get with this - because a) it's not reminding me of females named 'Cinnamon' or 'Lucious'... b) length, shape and crazy smile line all lend to this and make it refreshed and therefore, interesting... AND c) it's virtually impossible for Natasha Poly and/or Sophy Robson to make anything look anything other than 100% official.

It gets a pass (until I get asked for it...)

I HEART Sophy Robson.

She is the undisputed heavyweight champ of the nail world right now.

I stan for her on Twitter (and elsewhere...) and she is EVERYWHERE all at once.

She's been doin up Paris Fashion Week, after taking 30 seconds to catch her breath from London Fashion Week.

Peep the magical stuff she (and her dope-ass team) conjured up...

AND then GET over to her super official website to see all the other behind-the-scenes pics and goss.

All images fresh off her blog... http://www.sophyrobson.com/

TWEETS OF THE WEEK

London Fashion Week has BEEN in full swing and Sophy Robson was all over it...

Top 2 images are from 'The House of Holland' show. You know I only got one word for this kinda fabolousness... DOPE.

(btw... C.T.F.O. stands for 'chill the f.. out').

Last image is Erykah Badu's Minx-ing (act like you know.... if not - check older Bronz'd posts). Like she said.... (RT@fatbellybella...) "SHEEEIT".

THE ILLEST...

Illamasqua is the new make-up and polish range founded by Julian K (Kynaston), with input for the new summer range of nail varnishes by my newest idol, Sophy Robson.

As the Northern Hemisphere heads into Spring/Summer, all the pastels are coming strong and this range is no exception - the collection is gorgeous.

Just before this range launches, Sophy does a sneaky mention of it in her January blog - not really being able to reveal any actual detail about it - but she did hooked us up with the promo vid of Illamasqua's DYSTOPIA range to tide us over.

Ill doesn't even begin to describe... very inspirational.

RESPECT (!!!)

I have a new idol and mentor (from an extreme distance...). Sophy Robson.

The nails from this campaign are just a smidge of what she's done.

Seriously, this was my favourite image of the YEAR when it came out... (had no idea who had done the nails at that point.. )

Hit the link to check out her site.

DOPE website. Amazing work. I aspire.

MANNEQUAN?? YES! WE CAN!

The nudist movement is gaining serious ground (almost critical mass) with many, many references to 'mannequin' hands (UPDATE - Feb 2010 - this term and look came from Soph Robson who did the nails at LV - official) popping up over the last weeks.

Reports from Louis Vuitton S/S 2010 runway (top image) mentioned MH's in stark contrast to the cr-aaziness sweeping the rest of the collections (in regard to nail design), and just about everyone had a go at the Golden Globe awards last week,

And let's not forget, Vanessa Cruz, nudin' it right out there (2nd image) for L'Official Magazine - (also, it looks like, leading the charge with the backlash against spraytanning....sheesh (as divine as she is - no hate...)).

This is, by no means, the first nude-inspired photoshoot - they've been everywhere for a looong minute now, but it certainly is a nice one.

Cop the rest of it here...

P.s. ...maybe some of you can help settle an arguement for me? Have a little look there at Ms Cruz - cameltoe or a seam? Perspective/opinion could tend to be gender-biased....

Back on track!....I've been loving this part of the 90's revisited since probably late '08 and have been trying to push the nude since then. It's been real slow to gain ground, but I think it's safe to assume that all the kids have gotten the update.

Not only is it beautiful, but just about everyone can find a shade they can easily wear (as evident at the G.G.'s..).

Yay, nude!
