I don’t ever tend to get too excited about nail polishes – give me a nude or coral to bung on and I’m happy – but when these little delicacies from new brand Soigné landed in my PO Box…well. I have to admit that a little sigh of pleasure escaped from my cynical, seen-it-all-what’s-new-oh-yawn mouth. Because Soigné’s polishes look like…
Oh dear, I look rather threatening in the photograph above, don’t I? I’m brandishing my monthly favourites in one hand whilst wearing a somewhat hostile expression – not intentionally, I hasten to add. I just tend to get very fed up by the time I’ve filmed a video about thirty times (dog barking, doorbell ringing,…
A chic, slimline, ultra-portable palette of neutral shades? Yes please. This Clinique launch, the Neutral Territory 2, ticks most boxes. The packaging is incredibly lightweight and low-profile – no extra bulk whatsoever – and the shadows inside are nicely pigmented, long-wearing and universally flattering. In particular, I love the addition of the warm, reddish accent shade…
Chanel’s ‘June’ nail polish from the Spring 2012 collection is absolutely gorgeous – I’m obsessed with this creamy apricot shade! Last year I bought a cardigan and a top in exactly this colour, so I can’t wait until it’s warm enough that I can wear them again. And be all sad and matchy-matchy. Here I am hand-posing on…
There are some things in life that you simply don’t realise you need until you have them. My house if full of them. Colour coded chopping boards. Electronic pepper mills. Pillows with in-built radio speakers, a floating bath duck that plays music, a toothbrush that beeps when you brush too hard, a hairbrush that talks…
I popped round to my friend Dina’s at the weekend (Dina happens to be a top makeup artist as well as my friend!) – and she had just been to Superdrug on a massive nail polish mission. While she was making me a cup of peppermint tea, I rather cheekily nicked the Rimmel Lycra Pro…
OK, let’s talk about groomed fingers because this, my friends, has to be the poshest, most clean-looking colour that I have ever worn upon my nails. I’m not big on nail colour – and I’ve mentioned this before, I think. Since writing A Model Recommends… I have played about with different nail colours, but more…
I was wondering this week whether or not anyone ever goes to the doctor about their nails. As in, ‘Doctor, Doctor; I think I’ve broken a nail! And I’ve chipped my Chanel – it was Paradoxal!’ I’d like to see someone try that on with my Doctor – bloody hell, she’d throw them out of…
What an annoying title! I’ve even annoyed myself with it, but I simply couldn’t resist. The Models Own product that a Model Owns (sorry!) is a nail polish called Grey Day. I wore it throughout my summer trip to France (when many of the days were, sadly, grey) and I also wore it today to…
The lovely makeup artist on my job yesterday painted my nails with Rimmel’s Whitener ‘Nail Brightening Complex’. It also says ‘All White Now’ on the bottle, which is kind of unnecessary and a little obvious, but I’ll let that point go. Because this stuff is really a bit of a find! Dot (the makeup artist)…
I have painted my fingernails in a very demure taupe shade, which works nicely with reasonably tanned hands, or makes you look dead if you are pale.
This is a great way of being able to give all of your existing polishes an overhaul to bring them up-to-date…value for money, I think!
If your feet look as though they belong to the Lindow Man, then you could do worse than to cause a distraction with an eye-popping colour!
