WHAT’S NOW & HOW TO DO IT...

SHINY RED NAILS

NOTHING says instant glam better than shiny crimson nails. Red is the shade that flatters every age and skin tone — and if you pick a long-lasting gel formula, you can wear it for up to two weeks.

Try Bourjois La Laque Gel Nail Polish (£6.99, boots.com) in Are You Ready, which lasts up to 15 days.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Adventure Land limited edition collection (£9.99, boots.com) in Red-y, Set, Run! is a tomato red flecked with pearl shimmer.

Apply two coats to clean, bare nails and Miracle Top Coat (£9.99, boots.com) to ensure it lasts. Or for a true bargain, Collection Lasting Gel Nail Polish is £3.19 ( boots.com), with an extrawide brush for easier application.
