OPI Katy Perry collection






The hottest product line on the beauty market this year is undoubtedly the OPI collaboration with Katy Perry. One of the hottest female stars on the planet currently, combined with arguably one of the best nail lacquer companies on the market, the Donna Maisey Skin Care team were very excited about the arrival of the varnishes and testing them out. We weren't disappointed...


With the release of the four colours (Last Friday Night, Not Like the Movies, The One That Got Away and Teenage Dream), OPI have created a unique 'wow factor' by using a "Black Shatter" top coat, which crackles to give your nails an amazing animal print finish.

Each of the four colours look amazing on their own. OPI have created this line with the opportunity to really show your personality on your nails.


Our favourite (and our most popular seller) is Teenage Dreams. This glittery pink colour, as well as Last Friday Night has tiny hexagonal pieces of glitter. These colours look almost princess like!




















































When applying the nail varnish, we found that applying 2 coats really gives your nails that extra glimmer. Make sure they are completely dry before applying the Black Shatter.

When applying the Black Shatter, a thin coat will result in a finished result representing shards of glass. A thick coat of the varnish will result in a leopard print finish.

Finally, once dried, apply a clear varnish top coat to seal the varnish and really emphasise the underlying colour. Because the black colour is matte, the clear varnish will give a glossy finish.




The Katy Perry OPI collection is selling like hot cakes, and has completely sold out in the USA. Order now from Donna Maisey Skin Care, with next day delivery if ordered before 4pm.

Dermalogica Shave System




To ensure a clean, streamlined shave and minimize skin trauma, both beard growth and skin condition must be considered when selecting your regimen. Shave dual-action products are customized to meet skin care and beard growth needs, meaning your healthiest skin and best shave ever in just three straightforward steps.


coarse prep

Get skin shave-ready as you cleanse skin and soften the beard to minimize irritation, ingrown hairs, nicks and cuts.






close encounters

Maximum cushion, minimum drag, all for a clean shave. Customizable for manscaping mos or going commando.





wrap it up

Soothe, cool, and prevent ingrown hairs. And never forget your SPF – cause leathery skin isn’t healthy skin.



Identify the direction of your beard growth and to shave with the grain.

Exfoliation removes oil, oil-based debris, and dulling dead skin cells. This allows the razor to come in close contact with skin to help maximize cutting of the hair shaft for a closer, more even shave.

Applying too much pressure won’t provide a closer shave: it will just facilitate the removal of skin cells, leading to irritation.

If the razor is sharp enough, minimal pressure will be sufficient for removing hair. Use a steady, constant motion when shaving, making each shave stroke around 1 to 2 inches long.

Those using an electric razor can improve their skin health by using Dermalogica Pre and Post-Shave products such as Daily Clean Scrub and Daily Defense Block spf 15.

Winterize your Skin




With the coldest December on record, it's likely that you have seen some changes in your skin, perhaps dryness, irritation, even both, caused by the cooler temperatures and lower humidity.


In order to protect your skin during the winter months you may need to adjust your home care regime slightly, using a more hydrating and emollient moisturiser such as Dermalogica's Super Rich Repair, and a nourishing body cream like Ultra Rich Body Cream. We would also suggest a treatment serum to address dryness and replenish the protective barrier layer of the skin, Skin Hydrating Booster and Gentle Soothing Booster are perfect choices to help win the winter fight.






New from OPI The Katy Perry Collection

OPI has teamed up with chart topping megastar Katy Perry to release a new line of polishes inspired by her innovative style.

A professed nail fanatic, Katy Perry always uses the red carpet to show off her daring nail designs and regularly posts pictures of her amazing nail art on Twitter.

The Katy Perry Collection by OPI will include four glamorous shades: Teenage Dream (a dreamy pink glitter), Not Like the Movies (a sultry silver), Last Friday Night (a fierce glittery blue), and The One That Got Away (an amazing deep berry). But the breakout hit of the collection is sure to be Black Shatter, a top coat that crackles and separates as it dries on the nail giving a cool textured effect much like the one on the top of the bottle revealing your chosen base colour.
