Noooooo! Val trots over to ASOS for a nosey.



Noooo. I actually keep my nails relatively short as they break off quite a bit due to typing at work. I like any colours on mine although have been wearing a lot of vampy colours lately.



I am so lazy with my feet. I'm always promising myself that I will use my callous remover on my dead skin and use foot cream religiously but I never do. Have got better at painting my toe nails though and tend to do these weekly rather than waiting until all the polish has chipped off.


At the moment am wearing Sephora by Opi Already Famous. I tend to wear colours on my toes that I don't really like that much unless I'm showing my toes off on hols.

I go to a chiropodist twice a year. She gets about 2lbs of dead skin off every time . I come out with gorgeous baby soft feet and promise to keep them that way every time- sigh.
I went last week & just bought a Ped-egg so hopefully will keep to the routine of using it after every bath. The amount I get off is astounding!!

I always cheat with my toenails though. I put my sandals on and just paint the visible toes just before I walk out the door

I have one and the instructions it's best not to use it after a bath as your skin is too soft and you could take off too much :eek:

Ha ha! As understated and sophisticated as usual Lady S

Ladies i am after a matte top coat just a cheap one any suggestions? i want to buy from the high street and i am going shopping on tuesday so i can get one then.

Hi Lilly,

I got my matte top from superdrug 99p - does the job very well.

The name is 'beauty uk' matte top coat - its a bit mucky looking in the bottle but mattes the top lovely.

Ah, but i will bet you lovely ladies who wear colours on short nails are blessed with willowy fingers, all long and lovely.

I have tiny podgy hands. Which seems to look worse when highlighted with bright colours.

I kid you not, my hands are the size of a oompa loompas.

I went for the pink holo in the end, from the Virgin Vie Fantasia range.

Have you got NI Jermyn Street or LD Supermodel or Barry M Mushroom or something similar? I've yet to see any nails, no matter how short or damaged, fail to look better in those shades.

Echoing what starrystarry said neutrals do look lovely on short nails too. My hands are not willowy either.

Does anyone use nail wraps?! Are they really any good? Fabulous mag did a small piece on them today......
