Designer Brands Manicure Set
I love a good mani, but unfortunately my bank account doesn’t agree. Since visiting the salon every two weeks is a little costly, I went in search of an option that doesn’t leave a burning hole in my wallet. And I found it! With Designer Brands Manicure Set, I can achieve a polished, professional-looking manicure at home. The set includes an electric nail tool with five interchangeable heads and a Quick Colour Nail Polish, so now I can touch up, buff and file whenever I want, without any added guilt - Aja
Elegant Touch House of Holland Geek Chic
Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you: I’m the epitome of chic. I’m basically so chic, I should be a French lass who flounces around in stilettos and identifies the ‘deep notes’ in wine - stopping at one sip, obviously. One thing that sets chic dames apart from the not-so-chic is an on-point manicure. Unfortunately, my extra-curricular activities involving art textiles prevent perfectly polished nails and there’s no point getting gels, as I would ruin them. The solution? Nails of the stick-on variety as they are quick and easy to apply, and you can change them as often as you damn well please. I love the super cute House of Holland range from Elegant Touch as there are so many unique and fun designs to choose from. I mean, look at this geek chic print I’m currently sporting! How ‘Brooklyn Hipster’ am I right now? - Kelly
Orly Lacquer Sugar High Collection - Cake Pop
My family, friends and colleagues can confirm that I am a ‘girly girl’. I just love being a girl! So of course, when it comes to my nails, I’m always spotted wearing fun,vibrant colours. I’ve been a long-time lover of the Orly polish collections, and I’m currently lusting over the Nail Lacquer. Being the busy gal I am, I need a polish that won’t chip, and will last for at least two weeks - and this polish delivers. I’m going to go ahead and give it a 10/10. - Vanessa
CND VINYLUX Weekly Polish Flora & Fauna Collection - Salmon Run
With a spate of weddings in the diary recently, I’m been finding it hard to get excited about donning the same old frocks. To help mix things up a bit, I’ve started playing around with things that don’t cost an arm and leg to updgrade - like my hair and nails! For one wedding, it’s a braid and purple nails. The next, it’s a deep side part paired with a vibrant red polish. This weekend, I’m opting for some loose curls to match my pretty salmon nails, courtesy of CND. This colour is the perfect way to accessorise the pastel and lace dress I’m wearing, and two coats gives full coverage. With its quick-dry formula, I’m thinking this is one feature you’ll see in my wedding cycle as much as the frock repetitions! - Yelena
Revitanail Keratin Strengthening Serum
Let’s be honest - there’s no way your mani/pani will be jealousy-inducing if your nails are chipped and your cuticles as dry as the Sahara. Revitanail’s keratin strengthening serum is a (shock!) keratin-based remedy treatment that helps to restore dry and damaged fingertips. Application is easy: just smooth the cream onto nails and surrounding cuticles and massage in. I noticed a difference in my nails within a matter of days. They’re now stronger and shinier, and boasting soft, neat cuticles. Polish, come at me! - Sarah
