Naked nails

Like Spanx for nails, a wash of sheer nude polish makes hands look groomed, healthy and graceful. Even better, it’s probably the speediest DIY mani you’ll ever paint. Just spread one coat of Essie Nail Colour in Bare With Me, £7.99, on to nails for a glossy, understated finish. Pretty Perk Neutral shades, like nude and baby pink, give the illusion of elongating your fingers for instant elegance.
