I did this nail art on July 7th last year – almost exactly a year ago but it remains one of my favourite nail looks. I remember I got many compliments about this nail art. I was also quite thrilled with how straight the lines I drew were. I did them freehand. The overall look…
Izanagi restaurant Izanagi is a Japanese restaurant in Victoria Island, Lagos with dark wood, purple-patterned walls and blue chairs.

I’m not keen on football but with all the noise of the 2014 World Cup, I wanted to be part of it somehow and what better way to do that than by doing World Cup nail art. This nail art took me several hours! It’s the most ambitious nail art I’ve ever done and I…
I’ve done nail art with points before but I did those ones using tape. This look I did freehand and I’m happy with how it came out. I like the contrast between the dark blue and the pink as well. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but most the nail art looks I’ve…

Social Media Week actually takes place all over the world but for this edition, the only Social Media Week taking place in Africa will hold in Lagos. Woo-hoo!

It’s no surprise that I like going to restaurants and bars in Lagos but the restaurant/ bar at Bogobiri House is different because of the reggae band that performs there every week. If you like reggae music and the rustic African theme the bar has, you’ll like the bar at Bogobiri. In fact, even if…
