<p>Bespoke nails have become an art form in their own right. Generic, off-the-shelf nail designs are a thing of the past as devotees seek customised nail art that reflects their unique personality, interests and aesthetic. This luxurious beauty experience combines artistry, precision and personalised service to create one-of-a-kind designs that reflect the individual style of each client.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Nail art is a highly specialised craft that requires a deep understanding of design principles, nail-design techniques and colour theory. Top nail artists undergo rigorous training and continually update their skills to stay ahead of the groove. Since bespoke nail art is constantly evolving, new techniques and materials emerge all the time. From minimalist chic to elaborate three-dimensional sculptures, nail art themes are as diverse as they are creative.</p>

<p>Some of the hottest trends in bespoke nail designs include geometric patterns, floral motifs, glitter, minimalism and abstract art. The latest advances in 3D printing technology allow nail artists to create intricate, layered designs that were previously impossible to achieve. Gel extensions are another popular technique in which layers of gel build up to create intricate, detailed designs. However, the traditional method of hand-painted nails – whereby designs are directly painted onto the nail using specialised brushes and paints – is still sought after by many.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The new technique of dip powder nails is a cross between hard and soft gel, and involves dipping your nails into a pot of coloured powder to get a slick, glossy finish. Unlike gel polish, which requires ultraviolet radiation to harden, the dip method takes about two minutes to set and dry without the need to bake your hands underneath a UV light.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Another recent innovation is holographic nail polish, with the best containing pigments that refract the light to give a full holographic effect, and thus add an extra dimension of depth and visual interest to the nails. There appears to be no limit to what can be created on the miniature canvases awaiting at the tips of our fingers.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

Ergo Alter: Ill-fitting clothing won’t cut it in a city renowned for its tailoring excellence


<p>Cufflinks have been a staple in men’s fashion for centuries, serving as a functional and stylish way to secure shirt cuffs. When crafted from gold or platinum and embellished with precious stones, they are elevated beyond fashion statements to symbols of status, wealth and refinement. Less elaborate designs still spell sophistication and a sense of decorum. They come in a myriad of shapes, sizes and styles, and are a great choice of gifts for loved ones especially when customised through engravings or unusual ornamentation.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Jewelled buttons replaced ribbons in the 17th century as a mean to keep men’s shirt cuffs tidily in place. By the next century, shirts with double or French cuffs became the rage for noblemen, and ornate cufflinks as we know them today began to glint on wrists. Despite the popularity of buttoned shirt cuffs from the 1970s, cufflinks have retained their place when dressing with panache and for formal attire.</p>

<p>Neon signs are an iconic and integral part of the city’s visual identity and cultural heritage.

<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>While neon signs were a popular form of advertising in their heyday of the 1960s and ’70s, they have evolved far beyond their original purpose.&nbsp; With new technology offering more digital and 3D printing options, they can easily inject vitality into décor and embellishments for the home and light up events and special occasions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Daiwa LED neon signs have all the benefits of vintage neon at a fraction of the cost.

<p>The word kantha refers to both the stitching and the final cloth, and it evolved from the thrift of rural women in the Bengali region of the Indian subcontinent. One of the oldest forms of embroidery originating from India, its origins can be traced back prior to 1500 BCE and it became a canvas for ordinary women to tell stories of their everyday life. Khushi, meanwhile, means happiness, an emotion that comes when you behold products made out of love and devotion. </p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Their cushion covers feature bright colours, heritage patterns and scenes, and animals and birds like peacocks that celebrate nature, all brought to life through traditional stitching. They are handmade from 100% cotton handloom fabric, hand-dyed using Oeko-Tex Eco Passport-certified dyes, and lined with upcycled deadstock 100% cotton fabric. Presented in a reusable cotton drawstring bag, handcrafted from a vintage sari offcut, with a packaging insert explaining Khushi Kantha’s social-enterprise mission, they make great gifts. Bespoke services include embroidering names and personal details to make each cushion a unique and happy story. <em><a href="http://khushikantha.com"><strong>khushikantha.com</strong></a></em></p>


Pillow Talk: Throw down a cluster of covetable cushions to change up your interiors


<p>Lamps are a powerful medium to evoke emotions and a popular choice for bringing both functionality and style to a room.

Light Source: Amplify the ambience of your home with a personalised lamp


<p>The table is the heart of the home, the place where families share the day-to-day, where big decisions and announcements are made, and where those most important to us gather for meals and celebrations. The tablecloth is vital in creating an elegant and welcoming atmosphere for dining together.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Whether in homes, hotels or smart restaurants, a tablecloth is the basis for a beautifully laid spread.

<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The Palms motif – in which bundles of palms in varying shades of green come together against a pale blue background – plays out across 100% Italian linen for a readymade centrepiece.

<p>Now operating two shops in London, S&amp;B believes that if people take the time to lay the table and beautifully present a meal, they will enjoy it all the more and create a lasting memory for those who share it with them. To this end, the store offers a personalisation service on their Word, Cornice and Full Field table linens as well as some of their handmade porcelain bowls. Ideal as a gift or a personal keepsake of a memorable occasion, the Word collection enables a bold word, name or initials to be emblazoned on top-quality white linen.</p>
