Last month I met a few interesting people and among the most inspiring included the charismatic Jeff Pink, owner and founder of ORLY International and creator of the famous French Manicure. He was in Dubai to launch the newest ORLY collection, the 2014 line of ORLY nail lacquers.

The colours used by Orly were divine and the cute romantic story behind the name Orly was touching – Orly is Jeff’s wife who he named his business after. Jeff, who founded ORLY International in 1975, shared latest news about ORLY International, the latest nail trends and his insights in the beauty industry.

Together with the ORLY International team, he showcased the 2014 Summer Collection (BAKED), the 2014 Fall Collection (SMOKY) as well as the Argan Oil Collection and the Rich Renewal New Exfoliating Scrub. All ORLY products are formulated without DBP, formaldehyde and toulene. ORLY provides a comprehensive line of products and tools for beautiful manicures and pedicures that nourish strong, healthy nails.

Below are some awesome bits from Orly to look out for this season:

ORLY Argan Oil Cuticle Drops and Hand Crème
ORLY Argan Oil Hand Crème and Argan Oil Cuticle Drops work to revive intensive dry skin and brittle nails. Argan oil is packed with vitamin E and is praised for its quenching qualities. ORLY Argan Oil Hand Crème is a concentrated ultra-luxe hydrating cream that forms an invisible protective layer to nourish and hydrate dry skin and brittle nails.
