@thesigntribe's Nailfix & Chill nail polish remover cream! I've wanted to try this ever since I saw it in the novelties showcase at Cosmoprof Bologna 2018!!! (the polish remover won the Cosmoprof 2018 Award in the nail products category). And this morning the mail lady delivered a parcel (thank you, Cosnova!) 😃. The Nailfix & Chill cream is packaged in a cardboard box reminiscent of a VHS tape and promises to remove polish without using any solvents or alcohol. Ingredients: beeswax, castor oil, carnauba wax, argan, macadamia and almond oils - basically a lipophil plant oil-based blend. Tried it out on my nails immediately (I'm wearing two coats of Essie's Mademoiselle): the instructions recommend that you apply the cream to the entire nail, wait a minute and then use a tissue or cottonwool pad to rub the polish off. It took 2 minutes on my nails but it worked! The fragrance is an elegant floral blend, very pleasant. After I had removed the polish I washed my hands with soap and water (as per instructions) and the nails were clean and non-greasy enough that I could apply a colour polish right away (which the Nailfix also took off easily). According to the pack info, the Nailfix cream will be available from June 2018 in Zalando's new beauty online shop. New brand, new distribution channel; I like it! Well done, Cosnova! #thesigntribe #nailfixandchill #nailpolishremover #productinnovation #cosnovadoesitagain #innovationleader #cosmoprofawards2018 #cosnovaAt Stagger Lee, Berlin: The Day My Mom Got Out of Prison - Botucal Rum, honey, chocolate bitters, orange oils.

Over 400 sustainable products and designs from 25 countries were submitted for this year's green awards. The @gpaward is an international competition for innovative and sustainable products, designs and services. What I particularly like about the GPAs (which have been taking place annually since 2013) is that they are inclusive: yes, you have well-known design studios and big consumer brands submitting their products and ideas (I'm looking at you, Hansgrohe and Benecos!), but the competition is also open to start-up companies, newcomer brands and even students and graduates. There are various awards categories, including architecture, communication, consumer electronics and consumer goods (delighted to see that fermented organic beauty brand @handsonveggies from Austria is amongst the nominees in this category!), 100 of these submissions have now made it it to the second round, the Green Selection shortlist. The GPA's jury will now decide on the winners and announce their decision on 1st July. However, there is also a public prize: from 10th July to 17th August anyone can vote online for their favourite entry (check @gpaward for details). The Selection list includes some truly inspirational ideas for green design and sustainable consumer goods: fabrics woven from organic materials such as hay, luffa or fungi; upcycled bags made from the plant waste left over from pineapple harvest; building elements made from processed rice husks as an alternative to wood; eco luxury accommodation manufactured from tensile membranes specifically designed for the sustainable hospitality industry; a portable DIY flatpack speaker made from recycled cardboard and audio elements; a soil-free "smart" micro garden that grows fresh vegetables, a company which redesigns old sea shipping containers into modular contemporary living spaces; smartphone cases from from plant materials such as rose petals, coffee grounds or hay....! I can't wait to find out who the winners are! #greenproductawards #gpa2018 #greendesign #sustainableideas #greenproductinnovationSkyping with my six-month-old niece. Still completely bald but with gorgeous blue-grey eyes. I don't usually post people pics on Instagram but she is so adorable!! 😍 #lovemyniece #supercute #dotingauntie#heatwave #berlin #itssoooohot #6pm #still30degrees #berlinmitte #beautifulclouds #leicaphone #nofilterAnother product innovation by Cosnova's Essence makeup brand: nail polish spray! Apply a base coat, shake the pressurised container and spray the liquid polish mist onto your nails. Let dry, apply top coat; after top coat is dry wash your hands with warm soapy water and the traces of polish on cuticles and fingers will come off. Well done Cosnova!
