loco for Koku


Scarf- Won (at Koku Nail Bar Launch); Skirt- Spoof ; Blouse, Ring & Purse- Thrifted; Sandals- Priceless UK; Sunglasses- Smart Set; Bracelets- Joe Fresh & Gifted; Earrings- Joe Fresh; Toe Nail Polish- Jaded by Revlon; Finger Nail Art- Koku Nail Bar
I've professed my nail polish addiction many times before (I currently own 144 bottles, and counting...) so when Marilou of SkyFall Blue invited me to the launch of Koku Nail Bar, I RSVP'd yes as quickly as my Top Speed by Revlon nail polish dries! I removed my nail polish so that the Koku nail artists could work their magic and as it was the first time my naked nails had seen the light of day in years and I couldn't get them funkified fast enough. 
Koku nail artist extraordinaire, Lisa Holdenn, hand painted my nails with leopard spots, roses, geometric shapes, bows and glitter.  Her precision and creativity was superb and the nail art took less than 15 minutes! 
Fadi, owner of Thann is also Co-Owner of Koku so not only will your nails look great, your hands will feel luxuriously smooth thanks to the use of Thann products. 
If you live in Ottawa and don't have time to spend at the spa, Koku Nail Bar (located on the ground floor of St.Laurent Centre) specializes in 11 minute manis and pedis for the gal or guy on the go.  If you love being pampered and value attention to detail, then Koku is the place for you and your nails!
Jumping (literally!) for joy when I won a gift bag full of awesome goodies including the pink & cream scarf (worn on this post), a purple scarf & cruelty free makeup. (Photo source: Richard Tardif) 
 You can check out more of Koku's nail designs on their Facebook page and featured in the launch video and before long, you too will be  loco for Koku!
