StyleShake: Your Personal Online Tailor

You create the design, StyleShake.com makes the dress for you. It is the new era of tailoring.

By a click of the mouse you can create your own dress or rather customize from available styles or choose from available completed designs submitted by other users like yourself.

If you would like to start from scratch, you can start by choosing your preferred fabric. Fabrics ranging from linen, cotton, silk and silk metallic, all of which will play a role in the final price of the dress. You can then proceed to choosing the styles for your upper body, neckline, sleeves, all the way down to the trimmings.

One tricky thing is, you have to take your own measurements. This will ensure you will get a perfect fit. For this, StyleShake has a "size guide" page with instructions on how to take your own measurements. After all that, if the dress still does not fit, you can send it back for a free alteration.

Colour-changing Nail Polish

We have been granted the pleasure of changing our nail colours since the invention of nail polish.

But if you would like to see your nails change colour right before your eyes, you will need a special nail polish for it, like the Del Sol's Color Changing Nail Polish, for instance.

"Reckless" is its best-selling nail polish that turns to a pink hue (right) when you are outdoor but will turn back to white (left) when you are indoor.

The secret is in the Spectrachrome® crystal dyes in Del Sol's products which reveal their colours upon exposure to the sun.

Other colour-changing products by Del Sol include jewellery, T-Shirts and accessories. Just a few more reasons to go outside in the sun.
