Today at the All Saints’ press day you had the opportunity to have your nails painted, or you could try Nail Rock, which is a ‘nail wrap’ that’s very thin with prints that are quite cool and quirky. It also takes less than 15 minutes.

Nail art is like the new lipstick. Usually in a recession women buy lipstick but the trend has been to have fancier nails. It’s an easy way to update your look without spending much money.

nailatwork 1 The High Contrast Manicure

I’m not a summer girl, I’m more comfortable in the autumn but I do feel the need to embrace a bit of colour. I’m loving the ‘High Contrast’ manicure by Teresa Smith at Nails at Work. They are a combination of thinly applied Gel polishes which are very glossy and chip-free – perfect for work. Ooh what colour will I try!

I’m loving BootsNo7 Speed Dry Grey nail polish. We used it for one of the fashion shows in Bath. You might not always think of grey as a summer colour but there’s something fresh about it and it seems to go with everything. I used two coats and it does dry quickly!

Love this super cool BarryM Instant Nail Effects – nail paint. You need  to start with coat of nail polish, any colour red, purple, gold – for my shoot the model was wearing a beige nail varnish. Then you paint a coat of ‘Instant Nail Effects’, it goes on like a normal black polish but when it drys it has a cracked/scratched look!

Shellac – The two week manicure!

Posted by Rebekah Roy on June 25th, 2010

teresasmith shellac Shellac   The two week manicure!

I met up with nail expert Teresa Smith of Nails At Work during her press day at the Hospital Club for a Shellac polish. Teresa explains "Shellac is great for holidays as they stay chip-free and super shiny for weeks. My office based clients love the fact they can get straight back to work after their manicure with no risk of smudging – truly the best nail innovation I’ve ever seen!

shellac nailpolish Shellac   The two week manicure! Shellac is a hybrid of traditional nail polish and UV gel polish. There is no buffing so there is no harm to the nail. Shellac paints on like polish – base coat, color, top coat – and is cured in a UV light so there is zero dry time – which is so amazing!

Well, Shellac is amazing! My nails really take a bashing and I can’t be precious with them. I’m dragging cases, hanging clothes, sewing and in general I’m just hard on my hands. Also I never put hand cream on during the day as i don’t ever want to get any on the clothes. So by the end of the day my hand and cuticles are extremely dry.

Two weeks later my nails are still in perfect condition!
