Black manicure

I went round a friends last night to give her a manicure and we had a bottle of wine and a gossip about her new man while we were at it.

Yes I do nails and yes I know it's camp but I really enjoy it and I'm actually really good at it! Not surprising I suppose as there are three fully trained manicurists in my family and even more than that if you include wives and girlfriends. It's basically in my blood. 

We'd been discussing what colour to paint them all week and we were really close to doing them pure winter white in honour of Nigella...

(allegedly)

In the end we went for the opposite of that and painted them in Black Satin 219 by Chanel. 

Black Satin is one of the 5 colours in the Culte de Chanel collection which also includes probably the most famous nail colour ever - Rouge Noir. 

I'm collecting them all (like I don't have bills to pay). I think I'll buy my next one today - seems sensible seeing as Selfridges has 10% off most beauty brands at the moment!
