Nail paint is the ‘secret to looking good’

Those women who want to remain stylish only need to buy a bold new colour or invest in a manicure now. It is far cheaper than buying a whole new wardrobe.

“As soon as women grow bored of a shade or texture there are more coming through,such as matte finishes,suede effects or nail stickers,” Vivienne said.

L’Oreal Paris’s nail expert Lorraine Griffin agrees.

“Years ago I’d mix my own colours to create blue or yellow. To see them readily available on the high street shows how far the industry has come in the past few years,” Griffin said.
