WHAT’S NOW & HOW TO DO IT...

SCARLET TOES

BLAME it on the SS18 catwalk's love affair with tomato red (as seen at Victoria Beckham and Alexander McQueen) but the fastest way to update your toenails for summer is with a slick of striking red.

One of the best is Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Poppy Patch (£9.99, superdrug.com), which has exceptionally high shine. For a subtler, sophisticated look, try Jessica Nails in Royal Red (now £9.90, lookfantastic.com).

Or for weakened nails, Nails Inc Gel One Coat in Park Lane Court (£11, marksandspencer.com) contains the nail-strengthening vitamin biotin. Apply a top coat and it will stay shiny for weeks.
