In the run up to Christmas all the things I'd normally think of as tacky turn into the only things I seem to want. Glitter slippers from Jimmy Choo for instance? Don't worry I didn't buy them - but thats only cos I couldn't afford them tbh.
We're all the same though I suppose. Everybody gets obsessed with metallics and rich colours, textures and adornments and I don't only mean your Christmas party outfit.
Nails are the biggest tack culprit during party season and 2013 was no exception with the (ongoing) trends for special effect varnishes and nail art making OTT cool. But thank God for January! The month when we all want a fresh start, to simplify, to cleanse. And thank God for January's Elle which is full of models with clean short nails in barely there colours…
I've got a couple of manicures coming up this week and next and I can wait to give them a good chop followed by a coat of You Callin' Me a Lyre? by O.P.I - literally the best nude polish in existence.
Two coats for a virginal feel and add a third coat for a perfect false nail look.
