Nails have always been extensions of our personalities and the nail polish that used to adorn them was not only as a form of expression but identification too especially where black nail polish was concerned- you would know someone is a rock star by spotting black nail polish. Before,  a perfect manicure entailed well shaped, clean and polished nails with a particular color to match an outfit or to simply express oneself.

Today, Nails are more than that. They have become accessories in the form of nail art! Not only are they long, nails now sport elaborate and decorative designs a faraway trend from the norm we were used to. A manicure is simply not a manicure anymore when there are so many designs for one use on their nails. The more creative the better.

From floral, velvet to fruits; the name of the game when it comes to nails is Nail Art!

Bangles are one of the go-to accessories when it comes to arm candy jewellery. They come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, metals,  wood and in an assortment of colours availing you with a variety to choose from.
Bangles when worn go well on short sleeved or sleeveless tops like Tanks/Vests, shirts and dresses and dressy tops.
Dressed up or down they never fail to add a little pop to any outfit.
How To Wear Bangles.
Mix. You can mix small and big bangles together for a little or extra volume on the wrist.

Assorted Colours. I personally love a colourful display of bangles which you can also do by wearing multicoloured bangles together or mixing different colours and wearing them in one go.

Chaotic Arm candy. Chaos on the wrist is very fashionable today. Wear an assortment of different shapes, sizes, colours and metals at once and you will feel very fierce!

In one go. If you after making a fashion statement, it does not matter the arrangement, you can wear all you want in one go and make your mark on fashion.

Subtle and Sophisticated. If you are into the prim and proper look, a few bangles on the wrist will work for you.

The beauty about accessorizing with bangles is you do not have to match them to your outfit!
