Race you there!

Turn back the years and revisit the cool, effortless style of the nineties with Essie’s autumn collection of nail varnishes (£7.99 each, Boots).

With six very different shades, my favourites are As If!, a pretty periwinkle blue with a hint of red, which is flattering on pale hands, and Girly Grunge, a metallic silver — perfect for parties.

Saved By The Belle (above left) is a lovely girlie pink with blue undertones, while Knee-High Life (above right) is a deep, rich wine shade with purple undertones that will look great on toes.
