1 week ago | vogue.pl | Tracy Achonwa

Kupowanie odzieży activewear plus size stanowi wyzwanie. Gdzie się nie obejrzysz – a teraz, w dobie Ozempicu, to jeszcze bardziej wyraźne niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej – kobietom przypomina się, że ciało powinno być coraz mniejsze. Bycie chudą jest zawsze w modzie, a jeśli przekroczysz rozmiar 46, będziesz tego bardziej świadoma niż reszta świata. A jednak, próbując znaleźć strój do ćwiczeń, zobaczysz, że opcji jest naprawdę niewiele.

In lockdown, when shutters came down on all my favourite nail salons, I took matters into my own hands. I looked up the best UV nail lamps, chose a few gel polishes and acquired several tubes of polygel. Armed with nothing but gumption (and a Youtube diploma in nail arts) my first attempt wasn’t totally terrible. With each set, I actually got closer to mastering salon-quality manicures at home.

1 month ago | vogue.in | Tracy Achonwa

It wasn’t long ago that tranexamic acid was the reserve of medicine.

If there were ever rehab for recovering nail extension addicts, I’d be first in line. My most faithful engagement is the monthly appointment I have at my nail salon, where I’m hopelessly seduced by gel manicures and feline almond tips. “This is an obsession that doesn’t hurt anybody,” I rationalise.
