So with all the flooding up and down the country and chill in the air that has led to us putting the heating for the last week, it's time to admit it: Winter is well and truly on it's way!
One thing I actually like about winter is getting to layer up with all sorts of cozy jumpers and scarfs and I get to wear my awesome snuggly fleece-lined mittens/wristwarmers by BlackYak:
My favourites are the awesomely bright Sky High (seen here), and Blue My Mind - and they're a bargain at under £4 each.
If you're up for spending a bit more, Illamasqua do a great range of polishes with brilliant names too like Whack, Phallic and Bacterium! These are top quality polishes and coming in at £13.50 you'd hope so! But they're big bottles (15ml vs Rimmels 8ml) so of course will last longer, if you don't get bored first and want to buy a new one, which is what I do and why I go for cheaper nail polish brands!

Anyway, whilst I'm wearing these I get to display a lovely flash of colour on my fingers to keep the winter blues at bay!
One of my favourite brands for a cheap and cheerful splurge of colour is the 60 Second Nail Polish by Rimmel, which comes in a whole array of cool colours, which go on smoothly, last really well and really do dry pretty quick, plus the brush is nice and wide for a really easy application.

To wear all these eye-catching colours with maximum impact keep your nails short and neat since longer nails in bold colours can look a bit talon-like!
The problem with all these lovely nail polishes is that they are susceptible to chipping and scuffing - a pitfall of even the loveliest mani/pedi.
In preparation for my wedding, I went in search of something a little longer-lasting, so recently had my first experience of Shellac, and I will never look back!
Shellac and similar brands such as Gellish & Gellux is a gel polish that goes on like a nail polish, but is cured under UV or LED light. This means that once the gel has been set by the light it is smudge-proof, scratch-proof and chip-proof for about 14 days! No waiting for fingers and toes to dry, hurray!
This is the new way forward for a longer lasting manicure, and I'm pleased to say that from the end of October I'll be offering Gel Polish Treatments to my clients (look out for introductory offers coming soon!). All this in time for the festive season!
